ECoFFEEvILLE, Kas., Oct. 6.-The
streets were packed today with crowds
of excited people from all parts of this
section, attracted by the terrible Dali
ton tragedy of yesterday. On every
street cOrner.in every alley stood groups
of citizens eagerly discussing the at
tempted bank robberies of yesterday.
with its attendant tragical results.
At the city Jail an awning was i'm
prOvsed, under which laid the four
dead bandits III the collins provided by
the county, with guard to see that
they were not disturbed. A procession
of sightseers, which seemed to be
never-ending. viewed the dead outlaws.
The deSperadoes, cold in death, their
faces uncovered, seemed to possess an
attraction for the curious which is al
most without parallel. --
Among the thousands which viewed
the bodies are many who have known
the DaltonS for years, and while their
crimes deserve to place them beyond
the pale of sympathy, here and there
were to be found people that could
scarce represS sigh of regret for the
fate of
The Bead Men.
The stairway leading to the room
where Emmett Dalton lies was at all
times surrounded by dense crowd of
people who did their utmost to pur-
suade the guards to let them pass up the
stairway to the presence of the wounded
man. All sorts of reasons were adj
vanced for their requests, but with
few exceptions they were not COM
piled with. Through the courtesy
of Sheriff Callahan the reporter was
allowed to enter the room where young
Emmett was sleeping. He had just
wounds dressed and was weak from
loss of blood. He, however, talked
little, and from what he said then and
also to other parties his story of the
affair is as follows:
met the boys said he. "last Saturday
near Tulsa, and in the course of their
talk they asked me how much money |
had. l replied $50. They said they had
5000. Then they told me of their plan
to rob both banks of Coffeyville in one
day. Bob said he wanted to lower Jesse
James record. tried to persuade him
not to try it, but did not succeed, as he
had grudge against the town and

for what he had heard the people were
saying and trying to do about us.
had no money to leave. the country on,
and, although did not think we could
get away if we came, | finally consent
ed. We knew the lay of the land thor
oughly, and it was agreed that Bob and
1 would take the First National and the
other three boys the Condor bank. Bob
thought that he and l were better than
any SIX of the others, and, knO wing the
First National to be the hardest TO rob,
we selected that and assigned Condon's
to the others. ~ 80 *
He stated that he was an own cousin
of the Younger boys, and until he knew
that the other boys were dead lie re-
fused to say anything, but when their
dead bodies were carried up to him for
inspection, he identified them as Bob
and Grafton Dalton, Tom Evans and
Jack Moore. He shed tears as he gazed
Oh his dead brothers. The names he
gave to the two latter men are the
names they were known by in this sec
ton, but they are not their real names.
They are withheld fro m the public to-
day for good reasons, but their names
are known.
The dead bandits were buried this
afternoon i'll the city cemetery, in lot
owned by the Dalton family. The
bodies were carried to the grave in
transfer wagons, without single
mourner or sympathiZing friend to as
sist in the last rites.
The Mother Of the DaItOns
was telegraphed yesterday, and this
morning message was received
from Ben. the Oldest boy of the family,
that he would come on here at once.
Ben has never been with tee boys in
their raids, and is farmer. living with
his mother at present near Kingtisher.
Oklahoma.
Emmett is wounded in the right hip
and right arm by Winchester bullets,
and in his back are twelve buckshOtS,
the latter being the shot which knocked
him off his horse. He had reached his
horse and mounted, with the bag of
money from the First National bank Oh
his arm. when. seeing Bob fail, he
turned back to assist him, and it was
then that he received tue fire which
brought him down.
The money secured from the First
National amounted to $40, 240 and from
Condon's, $4,000. The amount turned
over to the bank exceeds this amount,
and serves to verify the statement of
Emmett that they had $500 when they
came to town. 1t is now thought that
only five men took part in the robbery,
and that if this be true the entire gang
is eXterminrted. Sheriff Callahan wants
to take Emmett to Independence, but
there is a vigorous protest, and it will
hardly be allowed, as the people are de-
termined that he shall not be taken
away from this town.
