Emmei Still Alive, But Cannot Recover His Ante Mortem Statement.
 CoFFFEYv1LLE, Kan, Oct. 7.-Emmet Dalton, the wounded member of the ban. dit gang, is still alive, but suffers in tense pain. It is not believed that hs can recover. The robber who succeeded in escaping has not been recaptured, and as he probably is making his way toward the Indian Territory, where he has many friends, it is not thought that he will be captured.
 The town is still greatly excited over the stirring events of Wednesday,, but there is great feeling of relief over the extermin ation of the gang of outlaws who have terrorized this section for the last three years. The bodies of the dead robbers have been prepared for burial.
 Emmet Dalton made the following ante-mortem statement:
 "Oct. 1, 1892, met the boys south oi Tulsa and they asked me how much money l had; I told them about $20; ] asked them how much they had and they said about $500; I asked them what they were going to do with it; they said that this town had been trying to capture them; I said that was 8 lie, for we used to have lots of friends here.
 Bob said he could discount the James OOyo WOEA duu SO up anu TOD DOGA Coffeyville banks in one day; told them that I did not want any of it at all; he said had better go along and help and get some of the money and leave the country; that if l stayed around here l was sure to get caught or killed by my self.
 "The morning of October we saddled up north of Tulsa in the Osage Nation and rode twenty miles toward Coffey- To ,I &o1l roI out of love for my brothers, for I knew that the authorities would get after me anyhow and would have no money to get out of the country.
 "We camped at the head of Hickory Creek at Timber Hill, about twelve miles from Coffeyville, the night of Octo. Der 4. That night we saddled up and rode to the bottoms of Onion Creek on the Davis farm and next morning we fed our horses some corn. I asked the boys if thay were coming up here. They said that they were and I said that it would not be treating you right, as you had always befriended us.
 II asked them how they were going to do the business.
 "Bob said we would ride in about half past nine in the morning. He said there would not be many people in town so early and not many to hold up. He said Ao "du0co d1OnS UoCduSe was QulCk on foot. He said that would go to the First National and the boys to Congdon's He said we would ride in and hitch at the old Congdon building. People would not see LIS until we got right into the bank.
 "All five horses belonged to Bob I am a full cousin to Bob and Cole Younger My mother was a sister of Cole Youngers father"
 He confessed that the gang was re- sponsible for the Red Rock, Wharton and other robberies in Indian Territory, which had been credited to them. Ths story of g. hidden treasure, he said, was nonsense.
 ''If there had been hidden treasure, he said, five would all have been alive to-day. It was because we were all 7broke' that we planned the Coffeyville raid.
 "We were being hard pressed by the of 6cers down in the Territory when Bob decided that we would have to get out of kha country D
