Give Lecture And Show at
Auditorium Tonight.
From Thursdays Daily

From Thursdays Daily
Vinita is today the host OF a man
who has probably attracted more at.
tention in the last three years than
any man in the southwest. This man
n Emmett Dalton formerly member
of the band of bank robbers known as
the Dalton Brothers, and who was par.
doned from the Kansas penitentiary,
where he had been sentenced for par
ticipation IN the Coffeyville bank rob-
berry.
Mr.. Dalton with his manager, John
yTrackett, dropped into the city this
morning and arranged with the man
agement of the Auditorium TO give his
moving picture show and lecture, THE
Wages of Sin," tonight. This has
proved a great success and has yielded
Mr.. Dalton handsome profit in other
towns and cities, especially Kansas
City, where he had a phenomenal run
of three weeks. His show will only
be mere Tor tonight,
The real business that brought Mr..
Dalton to Vinita, however, was not
his show. He is the victim of an al
legged land graft and his primary OBJ.
iect in coming to Vinita was to secure
warrant for Joseph Flynn, negro,
from whom he purchased so acres of
land. Dalton says he paid Flynn 800
for the land which except ten acres
was supposed to be in Craig county,
hear Catale. The ten acres he claims
was in Delaware county. After pay
ing two years taxes on the land Dal
ton says he learned that the land real
~ belonged to Grace Flynn, a sister
Of the negro from whom he bought It,
He says he is going to cause the
negros arrest and push the case
against him.
