A DALTON RAID
COffeyville Given Another View of the
Old Bandit in Action

Coffeyville, Kas., Dec. 19-Under the
personal direction Of Emmet Dalton
here to-day the Dalton raid of sixteen
years ago was re-enacted for moving
picture company. Nearly 1000 feet Of
films were made. In the original raid
in 1892 Emmet Dalton was severely
wounded and three of his companions
were killed.
Dalton selected four companions
from theatrical company He picked
them as nearly as possible to resem-
BILE his two brothers and his two com.
panions in the raid. When the Sc
lections were made the five men went
to the dressing rooms of the theater
and selected regulation cowboy attire
Then they mounted horses and rode
to the timber. The first picture was
that of the breakfast on the banks OF
Onion creek, just before riding into
the city for the robbery. An amusing
feature was the usual morning target
practice. This consisted of placing an
egg on post and firing at 1t with q
revolver. AS the flash of the revolver
showed in the picture the egg was
broken. The shot that broke it, how
ever, came not from the revolver, but
from a shotgun fired at it from an un-
seen point.
The target practice was followed by
race through the country roads. In
this Emmett Dalton shows very plain
ly. Next is seen one of the Oldest
houses in the city where there is an
old fashioned outside stairway. The
bandits rob this house in great style.
Many pictures of the buildings oc-
cupied by the banks in 1892 were tax
en- to-day. The interiors of the banks
must be stage pictures, however, as
the local banks would not listen to
any proposition to be used as the
scenes for q repetition of the bloody
battle of October s, 1892. The NOV
ing picture battles will be fought out
on the stage Of the theater tomorrow
morning, and then be thrown on the
film In connection with the actual
buildings to give the picture fairly
accurate resemblance Of what took
place In the real raid.
There Is some feeling here against
Dalton for taking part In the moving
picture show.
Emmet Dalton, while out on parole
prior to hts pardon by Governor Hoch,
said that he never expected to use the
fact that he had ever been q member of
an outlaw gang for personal gain.
What ! want to do" he said, 'is to
forget that l was ever mixed up in
that sort Of business in any way. I
just want chance to get out In the
world and make decent honest liv-

Mr.. Ellis had been testifying con.

Mr.. inleys. arraignment of the

the remarkable pictures Of the process

perience in dark cave Of unknown
dimensions and origin, which is a
natural curiosity in the vicinity OF
Mammoth Spring, Ark, is being told
by party of pleasure seekers to
friends at their homes in Mendon and
Ursa. Ill. Dispatches give the story.
Finding of eyeless fish and an en-
counter with strange animal which
roared like an enraged bull and
which, according to the description of
the men who saw it, resembled one OF
the incidents of the subterranean visit.
In the party which ventered to ex-
|plore the mysteries of the cave were
Mr.. and Mrs. Albert Eshom of Mem

est and, although for years 1t has been
center of interest for summer tour
lists from all parts of the country, its
mysteries have never been fathomed.
According to Albert Eshom, who was
one Of the spokesmen of the party,
the place is an immense triangular
depression in the earth, as If a tract
of land covering about eighty acres
had fallen in to q depth of half mile,
leaving the surrounding country with
trees and bushes on two sides, the re-
naming side being of perpendicular
rock.

tends from shore to shore natural
bridge of stone, wide enough for two
teams to pass, several hundred feet

bottom of the gulf seventy-five feet

the bridge IL an orifice in the solid

The Fafeyta house, formerly hotel,
at Nos. 302-304, Liyernois-ave., was

Monday morning, and Ave men had q
narrow escape from death.
The place Is no longer a hotel. On
lower floor was the saloon and billiard
hall of Stephen Orl, and the upper
rooms were used as boarding house
for laborihg men. Orrs wife and chill
dren were absent, having gone to
Cleveland on, Saturday.
The origin OF the fire Is mystery.
ut was discovered at o'clock by rail-
road men who work In the NJ. c. r.
shop, just across the street. The
boarders were then almost uncon-
scious from smoke, and considerable
difficulty was experienced In getting
from the building. They lost most OF
their personal effects.
Orrs stock Of liquors and cigars is
complete loss, and his pool tables
are ruined. He places his loss at
81 200. The building was damaged to
the extent Of $1,000.
The building was erected more than
30 years ago, and was run as hotel
for many years by B. j. Fafeyta. During

meeting place for politicians. When
