ton band of outlaws, the most notorious
in the west, was wiped off the face
of the earth here but in the battle
which resulted in their determination
three good citizens were killed and two
fatally wounded.
The desperadoes. who had grown
holder as they thought that they were
above all law and that the officers OF
the country were powerless against
them. had attempted to raid the banks
of this their old home when they met
the fate which they SO well merited,
but which they had heretofore escaped
Had they confined their efforts to train
robbery they might now be alive, but
emulation of the James boys proved
their deaths This was their first at
tempt Mt bank robbery and their last
piece of outlawry.
The six outlaws came into town to-
0ether or horseback about $3.50 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 meanwhile 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.
The alarm had in the meantime been
given and as the outlaws appeared
George Cubine, merchant, and Elk
press Agent Cox shot at one of them,
badly wounding him.
The outlaws then returned the fire.
killing Cubine.
The robbers in Condor & 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 aroused
by this time, were after them hot and
heavy and after fight in which City
Marshal Connolly was killed succeeded
in killing the four desperadoes named
and mortally wounded Emmett, who lies
in a room here. He will die before
morning, if not in one way then an
other.
Jim Spears, a livery stable keeper,
with his Winchester rifle, killed three
of the outlaws in as many seconds.
This created such n diversion that
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 pursuit 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 &C
counts
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 IL the
other man is found he will be summarily
dealt with.
The large rewards for the capture Of
the outlaws dead or alive will, II the
citizens wishes are respected, go to the
families of the murdered citizens
All of the money was recovered to n
cent and turned over to the banks.
