Tey were Keu tuckiaua, born aud bred. They were rousiua by marriage of the uotorious Youugera aud James. Iu them the lust for slaughter was in born. In lHvHH tbe Daltou family, father aud mother and thirteen children, among them the three who met death here Bob, Kiuiuet and (rattan came to Kansas. They settled on a farm iu Mont gomery county, where tbey re- niitiued until the opeiiing of the territory. They Itfgau the life of adventure that proved their un doing. Find, I'uited Slates deputy marshal, theu train roblsrs, whis key jiedtllera and bandits iu the mountain passes ofialifoinia; then the final act, bank robbera. On (Mober 4, IWi, live men, Tim Kvaua, or Powers, "tirat" Dalton, Bob Dalton and Dick Broad well, tbe last having Imvii en listed iu the scheme a day or two la-fore, rode up from the Indian Territory from that part kuowu as the Cherokee Nation. Tbey passed tbe night hiding iu the wooded fastnesses along the Istuka of towu stands. Karly on the morning of the .11 h they took up their journey again, their blood ed horses refreshed by rest and food. For milea they followed one of the tnaiu roads lutoCollcyville, the road that becomes Kighth street when it enters tbe town. At they neared the town they were notii d by many people rid ing to and from the city. The Dal tons, who were, of course, well known in Coffcyville, were dis guised by false beards and by other means. Long eloaka ooucealed their weapons W inchester rifles aud heavy Colt's revolvers. They look ed, as tbey Intended, like a party of deputy I'nited States marshals riding iuto the State on ohViul business. This was an occurrence too common to excite wonderment or remark. As they rode up Kighth street many eyes were turned upon them, but without arousing the slightest suspicion. It was evidently their intenllou to tie their horses iu Kighth street, w here they would be readily accessible when the need to lice came. However, the street was torn up, iM-nding certain repairs, making this impossible. An alley running directly off the street at tracted their attention. They turned down it, the only false move they had made thus far, aud tied their horses to a paling back of my livery stable. Ihen in single hie they emerged from the alley, their long cloaks removed, their spurs clanking, their guns swinging at their si dee. Three of them, Bob and (J rat ton Dalton and Powers, entered the Condon National bank, and, cover ing the cashier with their rifles, commanded him to open the vault "Oral'' hurried around behind the iron screen that partitioned the vault aud the busiuess part of the bank from the front, and, opening a heavy grain sack, commanded one of the three clerks to pour Into it all the cash in sight This done, he, with a fierce outh aud threaten ing wave of tbe gun, commanded the cashier to ojien the vault and get the gold. "I cau't," replied the cashier. "The time lock is on the vault." "At what time will it opeuf" "At half past nine," relumed the cashier. The time was ouly a guess on his part; it was alter nine o'clock then, but "Urat" bit at the desperate expedieut to gain time, "We'll wait," be annouueed. All this time tbe citizens were not idle. The assault on the bank had been so sudden that no one was iu the least prepared. Kven tbe town marshal, Frank Connelly, was unarmed. Tbe first intimation that I bad of the affair was when some one ran iuto the stable shout ing that Condon's bank was being roblied. I bad no weapon in the barn, but, running across the street to a hardware store, I fitted myself out with small Winchester, the first thing I came upon. Station ing myself on the street I began to fire on the Condon bank, hoping to frustrate tbe plana of tbe bandils. In this I was soon Joined by others, who hurriedly procured weapons from tbe hardware stores. The plale glass windows of tbe bank were riddled and tbe bank people narrowly escaped death from the flying bullets, but the effect of tbe fusilade was to make the robliers cbary of staying too long in tbe bank. In the grain sack was about tt,000 in silver and greenbacks. Tbe silver was discarded, Orat Dal ton stuffing tbe paper money iuto bis coat ' Then they made their way to tbe rear doors of the bank, driving tbe tbe tire from the streets became too severe, and they were forced to dis card the heavy silver for the light er and more valuable gold aud paper. Charles Gunty, another of the bravest men this or auy other town has ever kuowu, opeucd tire on the bunk, but was wounded by a shot from one of (he robls-rs that splin tered tbe atock of his gnu and smashed his right hand. Friends rushed out to him aud dragged hiiu within the shelter of a store. After leaving the First National, Km met Daltou and Dick Broadwell passed dowu Kighth street, where they were joined by the three from the Condon bank. There iu front of the shoe shop stood (ieorge Cu biue, guu iu baud, waiting for them. Two shots rang out simul taneously ami Cllbiue fell dead. Charles Browu, a fellow work mail of Cllbiue' s, saw him fall and ran out to help him. Again the dead ly rillea of tbe bandits spoke, and Brown fell a martyr to the ties of comradeship. Passing down I'uioii street, after killing Cllbiue uud Browu, the live bandits espiisl Ihoui.ut A J en, cashier of tbe First National bank. standing by the curb with a ritle iu his bauds. Bob Daltou a ritle rang out and Ayers fell, wounded iu the bead, although the distance was more than seventy-live yards. Bob and Km met then hiiriiedlv dodged behind the buildings and were not seeu again until they re apMared iu the alley where their homes were tied, tlrat Dalton and bis companions, Bowers ami Broad- well, regained the shelter of the alley first. Iu the alley was standing a Stan dard Oil tank, to which a magnifi cent team of grays was hitched. I sing the wagou for a breastwork, the three bandits prepared to ileal death to all who should dare dis lodge them. All this time I was, so to speak, mounting guard over the horses. 1 saw (irat aud his companions take up their position Is himl the wagou and I determined to wait Is lore at -tempting to do anything. Just at this moment Bob and Kiuiuet came down the alley from the other way, making for their horses. Ah I saw them they saw me. We had often competed in friendly shooting matches. He knew that when I tired I shot to kill. "Hell!" be exclaimed. "There's Kloehr. I bate to do it, but he's got to fall." For a moment I was transfixed, watching the face in tently as the bird watches the snake about to seize it Then instinctive ly my owu ritle came to my shoul der. I fired just as Bob pulled the trigger. His bullet went wild, glancing, striking the side of the alley, taking a tangent course and killing both the Standard Oil horn's and entering my barn, where it de molished a buggy wheel. But Bob, poor chap, lay iu the alley, shot through the breast Km met tired at me and I returned the shot He was wounded, I could see that, but he kept steadily ou. His compan ions Is'bind the oil wagon now opened up on me. I had not time to care for Kunnet Skirting the alley paling uutil he came to a breach, he crawled through that way. (irat Dalton, Powers and Broad well kept up a galling lire ou me. I was uot hit Some way I felt ex alted, lifted above everything on this earth. I did not fear their bullets; it seemed as though I was invulnerable. Finally, (irat exposed himself; I got him. Then, seized with a sud den terror, Powers and Broadwell made a rush for their horses. Be fore they could mount I had hit them, too, but Broadwell, exerting superhuman effort, dragged him self into the saddle and rode oil'. His body was found later beside a hedge mile from towu. Kiuiuet, who bud made his way to a lumber pile, now reappeared in the alley, obviously trying to reach his horse. I shot him aguiu. He had enough and surrendered, and is still doing time at Fort Leavenworth. Filth, Disease, Rotten Meat &nd Death tbe Product of Meat Packing Houses.

"I believe that 11,000 I'nited Slates soldiers lost their lives be cause of adulterated, impure, pois onous meat. There is no way of estimating the niiiulier of soldiers whose health was ruined by eating impure food. "I have a barrel of testimony on the subject in the way of aflidavits which 1 collected when I made my investigation seven yeam ago. The investigating committee refused to hear L'.uuo witnesses whom I had ready. At that time I could have secured the testimony of 100,000 men that the canned lsi'f sold to the army was impure, adulterated and unwholesome. "Iu my investigation of 'embalm ed' beef d ii ri ng t he Span ish - A mer i can war, 1 found poisons were used to preserve meat. I ordered an in vestigation, and learned from the reKrts brought to me that canned meats had Isrii sold to the army that had been for months in the warehouses of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and at the tlisvks in Liverpool. "This meat had Is-en relaU'led and sold to I lie I'nited Slates for soldiers' rations. I turned the re Mirtsover to the war department and a whitewashing investigation was instituted and successfully car ricd out The official rctort was that a 'colossal error' had been made. As a matter nf fact, it was a Colossal fraud, and the jhtsoiis who perpetrated it and were inter ested in it should have been scut to the penitentiary." The Charlotte News, whose arti cle is ipioled below, gives an ex ample of what the whole press of the country is saying: "The rcKrt of Messrs. Neill and Reynolds is harrowing in every detail. The facta, so thoroughly suggestive of the criminal inhu manity of the managers of the large parking houses, and of the most unpardonable and outrageous con duct of these large companies should be kept from tbe public print on the score of common de cency, were it not for tbe fact that the outrages bave been committed against Americans in every quar ter of the country.

He also slated that au inestimable tniinlicr of soldiers had suUered ruined health Is-catise of the un wholesome and foul meats they were coiiiielled to eat. These fig ures, he says, he had theu sought to have made public, but the mat ter w as quashed. "(ieueral Miles further states that he had several thousand sworn atlidavits ready for presentation to the ell ict that these meats were poisonous. He went on further aud stated that at that time, wheu he urged an investigation, he had 100,000 w Mnesses w ho were willing to testify against these packer and their rotten products, but that the committee then appointed Ui inves tigate the matter, refused to hear their evidence. "The question assumes graver proportions at each step. We at once ask, was the testimony of these Iiki.ihki iicrsons deemed un available! Why was it that -I.Oimi soldiers lighting lor their country's cause, must fall, slain not by Span ish bullets, but by poison equally as fatal, sent out from the laud for which they were lighting, in tin cans under the smiles of national approv alt Was it laraiise the vast sums of money liehiud these death dealing corporations was sullicieiit to check the progress of the inves ligation and close more lightly the eyes of the suffering public! Sure ly this must Is- admitted. "But, thanks to the great ranks of honest American citi.ens and to some of their honest represent!! tives, this year has Is-en made one of reformation.
