Coffeyville, Kan, Oct. 5.-The
Dalton band of outlaws, the most
notorious in the west, was wiped off
the face of the earth here to day,
but in the battle which resulted in
their determination three good citi-
zens We're killed and two fatally
wounded.
The desperadoes, who had grown
bolder as they thought that they
were above all law and that the Of
ticers of the country were powerless
against them, had attempted to raid
the banks of this their old home
when they met their fate which they
80 well merited, but which they had
heretofore escaped. Had they con-
fined their efforts to train robbery
they might now be alive, but emu
lation of the James boys proved
their deaths This was their first
attempt at bank robbery and their
last piece of outlawry.

The six outlaws came into town
together on horseback about $50

AL1vERY MANS DEADLY AIM.
| Jim Spears, livery stable keeper
with his Winchester killed three out
