STORY of the Fight.
CoFFEYvILLE, Kas, Oct. 6-The Dalton
band of outlaws, the most notorious i'm the
west, was wiped off the face of the earth
here yesterday, but in the battle which re-
suited in their determination three good
citizens were killed and two fatally
wounded The desperadoes, who had
grown bolder as they thought they were
above all law and that the officers of the
country were powerless against them had
attempted to raid the banks of this place
their old home-when they met the fate
which they so well merit, -, but which they
had heretofore escaped. ~id they confined
their efforts teDtrain robbery they might
now be alive, but emulation of the James
boys proved their death. This was their
first attempt at bank robbery and their last
piece of outlawry. a .a .Io
Opened Business I'm Two Banks.
The six outlaws came into town together
on horseback about $3.50 o'clock, and leav-
ing their horses in an alley walked rapidly
across the square and four entered Con-
don's bank and two the First National
At Condons bank the desperadoes were
told by Cashier Ball that the time lock
would not be open until 10 a'clock, so,hold-
ing their Winchesters on Ball and Teller
Chas. Carpenter, they 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 Ayres, his son Bert and Teller w.
H. Shepherd. They were forced to give up
all the money in the safe which was hasti-
ly showed into bags. The Daltons then
forced the three out of the front door and
followed right after them.
The Fight RACES Hot and Deadly.
The alarm had in the meantime been
given and as the outlaws appeared George
Cubine, merchant and Express Agent
Cox shot at one of them, badly wounding
him. The outlaws then returned the fire,
killing Cubine. The robbers in Condon's
bank shot out of the window, hitting Ayres
and Charles Brown. Both robbers then
ran back through the bank, when they
were met by Lucius Baldwin, clerk, and
fatally wounded him. The citizens being
thoroughly aroused by this time, were hot
and heavy after them and after a fight, in
which City Marshal Connolly was killed
succeeded in killing the four desperadoes
named and MORALLY wounded Emmett,
who lies in room here. He will die with
out doubt, if not in one way then an
other.
Lucky Spears Was on Hand.
Jim Spears, livery stable keeper, with
his Winchester rifle killed three of the out
To, s,,o faI
diversion that the enabled to
get close enough to kill another of the rob-
bers. 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
MORALLY 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.
Where the Rewards Should Go.
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 a 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 and Texas rail-
way at Adair station, in the Indian terri
tory, last July and committed other daring
robberies.
Got i'm Tho Late for the Fun.
The news was telegraphed to Parsons
shortly after 10 o'clock and General Super
intendent Frey, of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railway, with his special car
in which were thirty or forty trusty citi-
zens with Winchesters and shotguns, came
to Coffeyville to assist in running the des-
peradoes to bay. They found on their ar
rival that there was but little work for
them to do, as the plucky inhabitants at
Coffeyville had wound up the careers of
the desperadoes.
List of Dead and Wounded.
Following is list of the casualties: Dead
Bob Dalton, Grant Dalton, Tom Heddy,
and an unidentifed-all desperadoes; G. Il.
Connolly, marshal of Coffeyville; George
Cubine merchant; Charles Brown, shoe
maker. Fatally wounded-Emmett Dali
ton, desperate; Thomas G. Ayres, cashier
of the First National bank; Lucius Bald
win, clerk in Browns shoe store. Slightly
wounded-T. A Reynolds and Louis Dietz,
citizens.
Worthy of Their Relatives.
The Daltons were second cousins of the
James boys and nephews of the famous
Youngers, who are now serving life sem
fences in the Minnesota penitentiary. 1t is
said they acquired the desire to become
train robbers by reading the accounts of
the daring deeds of their relatives. They
began their career of outlawry about two
years ago and nearly every train robbery
committed in the southwest since that time
has been attributed to them. 1t is said
the proceeds of their robberies amount to
$200,C00
Wounded Citizen Dead.
Lucius Baldwin, onc of the fatally in
jured citizens, died during the afternoon.
The unknown desperate has been identified
as man named Moore, who went under
the name of Texas Jack. Up to midnigl
the bandit who made his escape had MT
been captured.
Capsized in Lake Huron.
