 CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. 6.-The Dal, ton gang of outlaws, the most notorious in the West, has been wiped off the face of the earth, but in the battle which re, suited in their extermination three good citizens were killed and two fatally wounded.
 The desperadoes, who had grown bold CT as they thought they were above all law and that the officers of the county were powerless against them, attempted to raid the banks of this city, their old home, when they met the fate which they so we'll merited. Had they confined their efforts to train robbery they might now be alive, but emulation of the James boys proved their ruin.
 Bob and Grant Dalton, Tom Hardy and an unknown member of the Dalton gang are dead.
 wounded.
 City Marshal c. T. Connolly, George Cudine and Charles Brown, a shoemaker, are dead.
 Cashier Thomas G. Ayers, of the First National Bank, and Lucius Baldwin, @ clerk in Read Brothers store. are fatally wounded, and T. A. Arnold and Lewis Deitz are slightly injured.
 It is the result of an attempt of the Dalton gang to rob the bank of c. M. Condon 6 Go. land the First National Bank in this city yesterday morning at 9:45 o'clock.
 One of the gang succeeded in making his escape.
 The six members of the gang came into town on horseback, and leaving their ami mals in an alley, walked rapidly across the square, four entering Condon's and two gong to the First National Bank.
 At Condon's Bank they were told by Cashier Ball that the time lock would not be opened until 10 o'clock, so holding their Winchesters in their hands they told Ball and Teller Charles Carpenter that they would wait, taking meanwhile the money in the drawer.
 Bob and Emmett Dalton were those who visited the First National Bank. Hero Cashier Ayers, his son Bert and Teller w. H. Sheppard were forced to give up all the money in the safe, which was hastily showed into bags.
 The Daltons then forced the three out of the front door, following right after them.
 The alarm had in the meantime been given, and as they came out George Gu dine and Express Agent Cox shot at one of the robbers, badly wounding him. The robbers returned the fire, killing Cudine, and the robbers in Condon 6 Co.'S Bank began shooting out of the window, hit ting Ayers and Brown.
 Both robbers ran back through the bank, when they were met by Baldwin, and they killed him.
 The citizens being thoroughly aroused by this time were after them hot and heavy and succeeded in killing the four men named above and mortally wound ing Emmett.
 Coffeyville is the old home of the Dal- tons, and it is peculiarly appropriate that the world should be rid of the gang by our citizens.
 The large rewards for their capture, dead or alive if the citizens wishes .sare respected, will go to the families of the murdered citizens. All the money was recovered and turned over to the banks. Emmet Dalton has made a partial con- fession that his gang was the same that robbed the Pacific Express car on the Missouri, Kansas S Texas Railway, at Adair station in the Indian Territory last July, and committed other daring bur glaries.
 The news was teleSfapheu to Parsons shortly after 10 o'clock, and General Superintendent Frey, of the Missouri, Kansas 6 Texas Railroad, with his special car ill which were 30 or 40 trusty | citizens with Winchesters and shot guns, came to Coffeyville to assist in running | the desperadoes to bay. They found on their arrival that their Was but little work for them to do, as the plucky in- | habitants of Coffeyville had wound up the careers of the desperadoes.
