was also seriously wounded. Captain
LAHORE and John j. Kinney, slightly
wounded. None of the DaltoRs were
hUr, so far as known.
The long expected ''hold up" of an
NJ. X. " T. passenger train in the In
dian Territory, was accomplished last
night. Last Monday the Dalton boys,
notorious gang, who have for many
months terrorIzed the people of the
Indian Nation, were seen camped
on Pryor creek, small stream,
twelve or thirteen miles from
Adsir, l. T. The information was
given TO the railway officials, who
placed guards, both on the north and
south bound passenger trains.
Last night at 9.42 o'clock, when
the north bound passenger train, No.
2. of the NJ. K. & 7. railway
pulled into Adair, Conductor George
Scales, who was in charge, was sud.
denly confronted and covered by
masked bandit carrying Winchester
rifle, snd commanded 10 hold the
train. Scales had already given
the signal to Ego ahead" bu,
the train was stopped. At
this juncture Detective j. J. Kin
ney, of Scala, stepped out of the
smoking car, and seeing the robbers,
opened fire, who instantly returned it,
one Of the bullets striking him
in the right shoulder, inhicting
a painful but not serious wound.
In the meantime, the other robbers
had covered with their rifles, the en-.
gineer and fireman. Two men, in
charge of the fireman, procured a
coal pick and went to the express car
where they hammered until the mes
senger, George Williams, opened the
door. Two of the men remained with
the engineer. One of them remarked {:
"There they come Harry, NOW them
down." and then the battle began in
earnest.
Three men entered the express CDR,
two of whom were masked. The
third was smooth-faced and appeared
to be 25 or 80 years of age. The safe
was opened and the contents taken
ont. What the amount was cannot
be learned. After rifling the car
the robbers, ten in number,
withdrew and loaded their plumber
into a spring wagon and drove
through the town southwestward,
firing as they retreated. Two doctors,
citizens of Adair, who were sitting in
front of their residences ss the bandits
passed, were fired upon. One
was shot twice through the
foot and the other through
the left knee. These disabled men,
in company with Detective Kinney,
and three wounded police. were tsken
to Vinita, where their injuries were
attended to.
