CoFFEYvILLE, Kan, Oct. e-The excite.
ment over yesterdays tragedy, in which
four Of the Dalton gang were killed, con
tinues today. Emmett Dalton still lives,
and, although the physicians say that he
can hardly recover, he seems to be doing
well. There is some talk of lynchiug him
il desth does not result from his wounds.
but il is believed that the excitement will
subside before that outrage can be per-
petrated.
The bodies of the four dead bandits
Robert and Grafton Dalton, Texas jack
Moore and Jim Evans-were buried today
in lot owned by the Daltops in the little
cemetery here There were no funeral
services. The bodies were taken TO the
cemetery iH one big transfer wagon, unat-
tended by mourners. The mother of the
Daltons was telegraphed yesterday, and
thlS morning message was received from
Bill, the eldest boy of the family, stating
that he would come on here. Bill has
never been with the boys Oh their raids
He is a farmer, living with his mother at
present near Kingfisber, o. T.
Emmett Dalton is wounded in the right
hip and right arm by Winchester bullets
and III his back are twelve buckshot the
latter being the shot which knocked him
off his horse. He had reached his horse
and mounted. with the bag of money from
the First National bank On his arm, when,
seeing Bob fall, lie turned back to assist
him.. 1t was then that he received the fire
which brought him down.
The money secured from the First Ma
tfonal bank amounted to $50, ,240, and that
from the Condor bank $1,000. The money
was turned over to the banks.
1t is now thought that only five men
took part in the robbery, and if this be
true the entire gang was exterminated.
The body Of Lucius Baldwin was taken
to Burlington, Kan. this morning by his
mother. That of Charles Brown will be
sent to Harley, S. d., where his wife is.
The funeral services over Marshal Connolly
and George Cubine were held this after
noon. The remains of Connolly will be
buried at Independence, Kan. Cashier
Ayres' wound Is not SO serious as at first
thought, and unless blood poisoning sets
in he will soon recover
THE oGEn FAMILY.
TOPEKA, Kan, Oct 6-Allie Ogee, the
only member of the Dalton gang who es-
capped at Coffeyville yesterday, was a
native of this (Shawnee) county and is well
known here. He was son of John l..
Ogee. citizen of POttawatomie county,
by his second wife, and consequently
half brother to the large and wealthy Ogee
family now living near Silver Lake. He
is one fourth Indian. His parents never
got along well together, and his mother
p left Ogee short time before the boy was
born. They lived in Topeka awhile, then |
went to Lawrence, and from there to Cof. |
feyville, where thu boy was raised in the |
family of DIR. Wood. He came back to |
Shawnee county four years ago, and his |
oldest half brother, Robert Ogee. raised |
the question of the legitimacy of his claim |
to property rights in his fathers estats. |
h. Nd. Curtis, now police judge of Topeka, |
"A nor Infn Co..
appointed guardian for the boy. The case |
was heard before A. b. Qulnton, then pro-
bate Judge, who decided in the boys favor |
lie left here two years ago, being then of |
age, taking $500, all that remained after |
the expenses of the suit had been paid, and |
went TO the Indian territory. He seemed |
to be an orderly and quiet boy except that |
he had the Indian characteristic of a roy.
ing disposition.
COLE YOUNGER
SALTWATER. Minn., Oct "a reporter
who today called at the penitentiary asked |
Cole Younger as to the relationship exist
ing between him and the members of the |
notorious Dalton gang. Cole said that he
was not sure of any relationship, but be,
continued:
Il think a third cousin of mine married
Dalton In Kansas years ago, but | know
absolutely nothing about the Kentucky
family cannot see where anyone got
the authority to say that because these
men were related to Frank and jesse
James they We're related to me- That
statement IS absurd. | am not related TO
the James boys, and previous to my COM
ing TO tins prison there existed bitter
Iatred between Jesse James aud myself"
