5oFBEYvrLLE, Kan, Oct. 49,
Yesterday morning telegram
signed by Detective Dodge of the
Wells Fargo express company and
dated Wharton, l. T., was received
here. 1t stated that r large body OF
desperadoes had left that place Wed
nesday night for CoReyville for the
purpose Of Gvenging the death OF the
Oaltons, Powers and Broadwell.
The town was at once In an uproar.
Informal meetings were held and tele-
grams were sent to Parsons and Kan
saS City asking that Winchesters DO
shipped at once. Everything was
comparatively quiet last night, and
very few people really expected an at
tack; but II one had been made the in
taders would have got reception fully
as warm as that accorded the Daltons
October s.
There is every reason TO believe
from the actions of some of the men
who have visited CoffeyVille that II
Emmett Dalton RECEIVERS some steps
will be taken by his friends 60 liberate
him. The following letter received
by John Kloehr, the man who has the
credit of killing three OF the Dalton
gang, shows at least that all of the
gang are not dead:
From Arkansas City, October, 1892:
To John Kloehr.
Dear Sir: take the time 10 tell you and
the city of Coffeyyille that all Of the gang
Amt dead vet by of sight and don't
you forget II. would have given all |
ever made to have been there on the 9Th.
There are three or four Of the gang left
and we shall come to see you
some day. That day-the 18th
of OctoDer--we were down In
the Chictnsaw nation. We did not know
II was coming OFF so soon. We thought II
was coming of November i, we shall have
revenge for your killing Of Bob and Graf
and the rest Of them. You people had no
cause TO take arms against the gang. The
bankers will not help the widows Of tho
men that got killed there and you thought
you were playing - fire when
you killed three OF us, but your time will
soon coma when you will soon go into tho
grave and pass In your checks for the kill
Ing Of Bob and Joe Evans and Texas Jack,
So take warning. We will leave you In the
hands of God for this time. Yours truly,
DALTON GAHO.
Many people here believe that John
Kloehr is marked man, but he does
seem TO be at all alarmed.
The people Of the neighboring towns
stand ready to protect the people Of
Coffeyville and forever wipe out every
member and Sympathzer Of this gang
of outlaws.
