LAST or BILL DALTON.
The Notorious Outlaw Shot and Instantly
Killed by an Ofieer in the Indian Terri

The Notorious Outlaw Shot and Instantly
Killed by an Ofieer i'm 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, /. T., yesterday, and
Bill Dalton, the notorious outlaw. train
and bank robber, was killed by the Off
GERS in their efforts to arrest him.
1t 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 point on the Canadian river.
1t transpires now that on Monday
two men went to Duncan, /. T., a town
on the Rock Island railroad, and made
q 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.
Thursday a man and two women
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
man and woman as whisky peddlers,
and held them.
A strong detachment of officers i'm
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 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 Cof-
feyville, October 5, 1892, and Emmett,
now in the Kansas penitentiary, made a
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 opportun-
| 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, Bob
and Emmett Dalton, Dick Broadwell
and Bill Powers attempted to loot the
Condor and First national banks at
Coffeyville. The raid resulted in the
death of four citizens, the serious
wounding of three others, the killing
of Graf and Bob Powers and Bradwell,
and the wounding and capture of EN-
NETT.

GAVE FALSE FIGURES.

Company So Manipulated.

Company SO Manipulated.
WASHINGTON, June 9.-Lieut. Albert
Alderman. of the United States navy,
was heard yesterday by the house COM
mittee on arrnor 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 SUI
perintendent Schwab and other
officials and employees had an interest
in the Carnegie company, and had,
therefore. a motive in passing plates
not up. to the standard. Lieut.. Aeker-
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 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
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 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.

an Indian boy herding some cattle He
began shooting at the boy and killed

ons containing two men and some
women. He shot into one OF them,
killing Mrs. Duncan, a lady who is
connected with one of the best fami-
lies of the Cherokee nation Her
son, Levi Duncan, was with
her. He drew his pistol and began
shooting at Sanders, as also did the
man who was in the other wagon, but
he was getting away on his horse when

was literally shot to pieces He was
