DALTON BAND KILLED.
THE OUTLAWS BAyE A FIGHT
WITH OFFICERS.
nation of a Fad Gaog-The Re
wards Offered for the Men.

PERRY, Oklahoma, April 2l.-A
battle to the death was fought Thurs
day between six members of the no.
torious Dalton band of outlaws, head
ed by ''Bill" Dalton, and force Of
Deputy United States Marshals. The
bandits were killed By the bullets
from the rifles of the posse, which has
been trying to effect their capture for
some time.
Che battle is reported to have taken
place sixty-eight miles southeast of
this city, near ingalls,, which is the
dividing line between the reservation
OF tie Creek Indians and Oklahoma.
The band OF outlaws consisted of
,Bilr' Dalton, chip D00ian, s'Bitter
Creek Kid, ''Three-f'ingered Jack
Boone" and two unknown men.
Their pufsuers were eight United
States Deputy MarShalS, headed by
City 1Iarshal Tilgnman, OF Perry, and
his assistant, IL. Thomas.
Both these officers had authority to
ac5 as Deputy United States Mar
5liais frcm United States Marshal
Nix They have reputation all over
tie Western States and Territories
for bravery and skill in snarp-ShOOt-
ing.
1t has been expected for some time
that Il fight would take pace, and the
desperate character of the extinct
band Of outlaws, combined with the
discrimination of the officers of the
law 10 hunt them to their death, gave
assurance of a determined battle.
Inc leader OF the band which has
Just been extermiuated was the broth
er Of the more famous Dlitons who
were killed at COffeyville, Kan, during
a raid ou the bank there. One broth
er is living i'll California and another
near Fort Smith, Ark, in the Greek
country.
Those who have now been killed
pland2red the depot ut Woodward,
Oklahoma, u few days ago, and secur-
ed so, 900.
SherIf Scrusgs left here with 4
posse OF twelve for the scene OF the
battle. He will make d forced march
and viii BIZ Joined by posses which
have left Guthrie, Oklahoma City,
aud Chandler for the scene Of the
battle.
The reward for Dalton's capture,
dead Or alive, is 81 500, and the price
on DoOlan'S head is $50.
There is general rejoicing here over
the determination of the worst bind
OF outlaws which has infested the
Territory since the original Dalton
band met death at Coffeyvllle.
The Daltons long have been terror
to people throughout the unsettled
parts OF the country. More than fifty
murders have been charged to them.
