EXIT THE DALTON GANG
The Notorious Outlaws Killed
in a Desperate Battle.
FIVE CITIZENS ALSO SHOT DEAD.

m Kansas Town in Broad Daylight
and the Bold Attempt Proved TO BE
Their Last Act of Lawiessness.
CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. 6.-The Dalton
gang Of outlaws, the most notorious in the
west, was wiped off the face Of the earth
here, but in the battle which resulted in
their determination three good citizens
were killed and two fatally wounded. The
desperadoos, who had grown bolder, think
ing they were above all law and the off
GERS of the county were poweress against
them, had attempted to raid the banks Of
this city, their old home, when they met
the fate they so well merited. Had they
confined their efforts to train robbery they
might now be alive, but emulation OF the
James boys proved their ruin. This was
their first attempt at bank robbery and
their last piece Of outlawry.
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 Of them entered
Condons bank and two the First National.
At Condon's bank the desperadoes were
told by Cashier Bali that the lock would
not be open until 10 o'clock, so holding
Winchesters at the heads Of Cashier Ball
and Teller 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.
II. Shepperd. They were forced to give up
all the money in the safe, which was has
tily showed into bags. The Daltons then
forced the three out Of the front door and
followed right after them.
Tho Desperadoes Killed.
The alarm had in the meantime been
given, and as the outlaws appeared George
Cubine, a merchant, and Express Agent
Cox shot one Of them, badly wounding
him. The outlaws then returned the FIRE,
killing Cubine. The robber in Condon's
bank shot out of the window, hitting
Ayres and Brown. Both robbers then ran
back through the bank, when they were
met by Baldwin, and fatally wounded him.
The citizens being thoroughly aroused by
this time were hot and heavy after them,
and after fight, in which City Marshal
Connolly was killed, succeeded in killing
the four desperadoes named and mortally
wounding Emmett, who lies In room
here. lie will die before midnight-if not
in one way, then In another. Jim Spears,
livery stable keeper, with his Winchester
rife, killed three Of the outlaws in as many
seconds. This created such diversion
that other citizens were enabled TO get
close enough to kill another Of the robbers
The two remaining robbers dropped their
plunder and mounted their horses. but a
posse was quickly in pursuit and one more
Of the bandit gang fell from his horse NOR
tally 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
1t is peculiarly appropriate that the world
should be rid of the gang here Great ex-
citement prevails, and if the other man is
| found he will be summarily dealt with.
The large rewards for the capture Of the
outlaws dead or alive will, if tho citizens
wishes are respected, go to the families of
! the murdered citizens.
All the Money Recovered.
All Of the money was recovered 70 cent
and turned over TO the banks.
Emmett Dalton has made a partial CON
fession that his gang was the same that
robbed the Pacific express car ON the Mis-.
nNAAAf huhoa1 hNA AtAdn AtllWul az AQulI
Station in the Indian Territory last July
and committed other daring robberies
The news was telegraphed to Parsons
shortly after 10 o'clock, and General Super.
intendent Frey Of the Missouri, Kansas
and Texas railroad, with his special car, in
which were thirty or forty trusty citizens
with Winchesters and shotguns, came tc
Cofeyyille to assist in running the despera
does TO bay. They found on their arrival
that there was but little work for them &C
do, as the plucky inhabitants at CoGeyvillC
had wound up the careers OF the despera
does.
