press Frustrated
GAINESVILLE, Tex, June 9.-This city
As in fever of excitement over an at
tempt to hold up and rob the north
bound Santa Fe passenger train by
four men who boarded the train here.
Three policemen and one deputy mar

The Notorious Outlaw Shot and Instantly
Killed by an Officer in the Indian Terri
tory.
PARIS, Tex, June 9.-After contin-
nous chase of over three weeks, the
Longview bank robbers were rounded
up near Ardmore, I. T.. yesterday, and
Bill Dalton, the notorious outlaw. train
and bank robber, was killed by the Off
GERS in their efforts to arrest him.
Tt had been given out that the pur-
suit had been abandoned, but the mys-
terious movements around the Office of
United States Marshal Williams showed
that he was in the possession of val
liable information. Monday night he
left here with several trusted deputies
for a point on the Canadian river.
1t transpires now that on Monday
two men went to Duncan, L T., a town
on the Rock Island railroad, and made
number of purchases They paid for
the articles in bills on the looted bank.
The bills looked to. be new, but they
had been wet and creased. A tele-
gram was sent to Longview giving the
number of the bills, and the answer
promptly came that they were the
missing bills. Officers were posted at
once, and went on their trail.
went to Ardmore and bought lot of
guns, ammunition and other things.
They were in the wagon purchased by
the two men at Duncan on Monday.
The man had plenty of money. He
was known there as a worthless fellow.
who never had a cent. An officer
peered into the wagon, found a FIVE
gallon keg of whisky, and arrested the
and "a whisky TDadAfQJS
and held them.
A strong detachment of officers iIn-
mediately took the back track of the
wagon, and yesterday found Dalton.
He was taken by surprise but made an
effort to fight, but the officers were too
quick for him and shot him dead. In
structions were sent from the marshal's
Office last night to have the body en-
balmed, as there is a reward of several
| thousand dollars on Dalton's head. The
deputies who killed him wired they
have positive proof that it is Bill Dali
ton, and that he committed the rob-
berry.
Bill Dalton was the third son in a
family of ten children. He, with his
brothers, Bob and Graf, killed at COT
| feyville, October 5, 1892, and Emmett
now in the Kansas penitentiary, made q
record of crime not second even to that
of the James and Younger brothers.
They will probably never again have
equals in this country. The march OF
| civilization will prevent the opportuR
| ity.
The Daltons were Missourians by
birth, but moved to Kansas, settling
near Coffeyville in their youth. They
bore but mediocre regulations as out
laws until in October, 1892. Graf, Boil
and Emmett Dalton, Dick Broadwel
and Bill Powers attempted to loot the
Condor and First national banks a
Coffeyville. The raid resulted in the
death of four citizens, the seriou:
wounding of three others, the killing
of Graf and Bob Powers and Bradwel

GAVE FALSE FIGURES

a Testing Machine Used by the Carnegie
Company So Manipulated
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Lieut- Albert
Alderman, of the United States navy,
was heard yesterday by the house COM
mittee on armor plate frauds He was
one of the naval board which investi-
gated the first charges of fraud His
evidence covered in detail the irreg-
ularities in treating specific armor
plates. He had heard that Su-
perintendent Schwab and other
officials and employees had an interest
in the Carnegie company, and had,
therefore, motive in passing plates
not up to the standard. Lieut.. Acker-
man told of the manner in which his
suspicious had been excited as to the
irregularity of the work. He found
that certain lines of work would be
stopped when he entered a shop. One
of the superintendent, Mr.. Kline, had
misled him on various details of the
work.
His general distrust of the manner of
making armor at the Carnegie works
had Influenced him to look with sus-
picion on every plate. His own expert
ence and the affidavits of informers had
corroborated these suspicious, and he
had assessed damages against the COM
pany as result of his own knowledge
and his suspicious.
Lieut.. Alderman told of the investi-
cation of the second or supplemental
charges. This testimony developed a
new branch of irregularity as to the
manipulation of a testing machine
used by the Carnegie company. The
machine was operated SO as to
give false figures. Disclosures were
also made as to serious defects in
two plates of the Monterey and one in
the Machias. Lieut.. Alderman said
blowholes were a positive defect and
could be avoided. In this opinion his
statement differed from other naval
officers. The witness described the
serious blowhole in 13-inch armor of
the Monterey. A wire feet long had
been inserted in the hole.

Do You Wish
the Finest Bread
and Cake?

It is conceded that the Royal Baking Powder is
the purest and strongest of all the baking powders
The purest baking powder makes the finest, sweet
est most delicious food. The strongest baking pow
der makes the Iightest food
That baking powder which is both purest and
strongest makes the most digestble and wholesome
food.
Why should every housekeeper avail herself
of the baking powder which will give her the best
food with the least trouble?
Avoid all baking powders sold with gift
or prize, at lower price than the Royal,
as they invariably contain alum, lime or sui
phuric acid, and render the food unwholesome.
Certain protection from alum baking powders
be had by declining accept any substitute for the
Royal which is absolutely pure.
