Bold Raid ON tho Banks.
The six outlaws came into the town
together on horseback about 0;3O
o'clock and leaving their horses in an
alley, walked rapidly across the square
and four entered Condon's bank and
two the First National.
At Condon's bank the desperadoes
were told by Cashier Ball that the
time lock would not be open until 10
o'clock, so holding their Winchesters
on Ball and Teller Charles Carpenter,
said they would wait, taking mean
while, the money in the drawer.
Bob and Emmett Dalton were the two
who took in the First National. Here
were Cashier Ayers, his son Bert and
Teller w. Ii. Shepherd. They 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
and followed right after them.
Citizens and Outlaws Battle.
The alarm in the meantime had
been given and as the outlaws APP
peared George Cubine, merchant, and
Express Agent Cox shot at one of
them, badly wounding him. The out
laws returned the fire, killing Cubine.
The robbers in Condon.& Co. S bank
shot out of the window. hitting Ayers
and Brown. Both robbers ran back
through the bank when they were
met by Baldwin and fatally wounded
him.
The citizens being thoroughly arous-
ed by this time, were after them hot
and heavy and after fight in which
City Marshal Connolly was killed sue
ceeded in killing the four desperadoes
named and mortally wounded
Emmett. He will die before morn
ing, if not in one way then another,
Jim Spears, livery stable keeper,
with his Winchester rife, killed three
of the outlaws in as many seconds.
This created such diversion tha'
other citizens were enabled to get
close enough to kill another of the
robbers,
The two remaining robbers dropped
their plumber and mounted their
horses but posse was quickly in pur-
suit and one more of the bandit gang
fell from his horse mortally wounded
about two miles from town. The sixth
and last was still being pursued at
latest accounts. The man who got
away is supposed to be Allie Ogee,
This is the old home of the Daltons
and it is peculiarly appropriate that
the world should be rid of the gang
here. Great excitement prevails and
if the other man is found he will be
summarily dealt with.
The large rewards for the capture of
the outlaws dead or alive will, if the
citizens wishes are respected, go to
the families of the murdered citizens.
All of the money was recovered to o
cent and turned over to the banks.
Emmett Dalton COniesses.
Emmett Dalton has made a partial
confession that his gang was the same
that robbed the Pacific express car on
the Missouri, Kansas and Texas rail
road at Adair station in the Indian
territory last July and committed
other daring robberies.
The news was telegraphed to Par
soDs shortly after 10 o'clock, and GEN
eral Superintendent Frey of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas and Texas railroad, with
his special car, in which were thirty or
forty trusty citizens with Winchesters
and shotgun, came to Coffeyville to
assist in running the desperadoes to
bay They found on their arrival that
there was but little work for them to
do, as the plucly inhabitants at
Coffeyville had wound up the careers
