| CoFFEYrLLE, Kas., Oct. 1.-THE Dali
/, ton gang of outlaws, the most notori-
Gus in the west, was wiped off the face
OF the earth here yesterday, but in the
battle which resulted in their exter-
mination, three good citizens were
killed and two fatally wounded. The
desperadUes, who had grown bolder as
they thought they were above all law
bowerless against them, had attempted
to raid the banks of this, their old
home, when they ftlet the fate which
they so well merited, but which they
had heretofare escaped. Had they con-
fined their efforts to train robbery they
might now be alive, but the imitation
of the James boys proved their death.
It was their first bank robbery. Six
of them came to town together
| mounted about $50 o'clock, and leaving
their horses in an alley, walked rapidly
across the square and four entered
Condon's 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 Winchester's on Ball and
Teller Charles Carpenter, they said
they would wait, taking meanwhile all
the money in the drawer. Pob and
Emmet Dalton were the two who took
| in the National. Here were Cashier
Ayers. his son Bert and Teller W.. H.
Shepard. 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, a
| merchant, and Express Agent Cox shot
at one of them, badly wounding him.
The outlaws then returned the fire,
killing Cub1ne. .45.s-
The robbers in Condon's bank shot
| out of the window, hitting Ayres 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 hot and
heavy after them and after fight in
| which City Marshal Connolly was
| killed, succeeded in killing the four
| desperadoes named and mortaily
wounded Emmett. who lies in a room
here. He will die before morning, If
, not in one way, then another.
Jim Spars, livery stable keeper,
/ with his Winchester killed three of the
outlaws in as many seconds. This Gre
ated such a diversion that old 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
horse mortally wounded about two
miles from town.
The sixth and last was 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
summary 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
cent and turned over to the banks
Emmett Dalton has made a partial
confession that his gang was the same
that robbed the Pacific express car on
the Missouri, Kansas e. Texas railway
at Adair station in the Indian territory
last July, and committed other daring
robberies.
The news was telegraphed to Par
sons shortly after 10 o'clock and Cen
eral Superintendent Frey, of the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas road, with his
special car, in which were thirty or
forty trusty citizens with Winchesters
and shot guns, came to Coffeyville to
assist in running the desperadoes to
bay.
They found on their arrival that
there was but little work or them to
do, as the plucly inhabitants of Coffey-
vile had wound up the careers of the
desperadoes.
