Good Work at Great Co**. The Dalton gang has been exterminated, vri] ed off the face of the earth. Caught like rats in a trap, they were shot <’own, but not until four citlaens of Coffeyville, Kan., yielded up their lives In the work of extermination. Six of the gang rode Into the town Wednesday morning and robbed the two banks.

one was so badly wounded that he has since died. The other escaped, but he is being hotly pursued. Os the attacking party four were killed, one was fatally and two seriously wounded. The dead are: Bob Dalton, desperado, shot through the head. Grant Dalton, desperado, shot through the heart. Emmet Dalton, desperado, shot through the left side. Joseph Evant, desperado, shot through tho head. John Moore, alias Texas Jack,- desperado, shot through the head. T. C. Connelly, City Marshal, shot through the body. L. M. Baldwin, bank clerk, shot through the head. G. W. CUBXNB, merchant, shot through the head. C. J. Bbown, shoemaker, shot through the body. Thomas G. Ayers, cashier of the First National Bank, was shot through tho groin and cannot live. T. A. Rennolds ot the attacking party has a wound in tho right breast, but It is not considered necessar.ly dangerous. Lais Dciz, another of the attacking party, was shot in the right side. His wound is a serious one, but is not fatal. It was 9 o'clock when the gang rode into town, in tw > squads of three each, passing through unfrequented streets and deserted alleys to t .e al ey in the rear of the First Nat onal Bank. They quickly tied their horses, and without losing a moment’s.time proceeded to the attack upon the bank. Robert Dalton, the notorious leader of the gang, and Emmet, I*’s brother went to the First National bank, the other four under the leadership of “Texas Jack," or John Moore, going to the private bank of C. M. Congdon & Co. In the meantime the alarm had already been given. The Dalton boys were born and bred in the vicinity, and were well known to nearly every man, woman and child. Almost before the bandits had entered the bank Marshal Connelly was collecting a posse. He ran first to the llvery stable of Jim Spears, a dead shot with a Winchester and a valuable man in any fight. Then he summoned George Cubine, a merchant: Charles Brown, a shoemaker; John Cox, express agent, and other citizens who could be conveniently reached, stationing them about the square, which both of the banks faced. Robben Go Through the Bank*. While the marshal was collecting his forces the bandits, all Ignorant of the trap that was being laid for them, were proceeding deliberately with their work of lobbing the banks. “Texas Jack's" band had entered Congdon’s bank, and with their Winchesters leveled at Cashier Ball and Teller Carpenter hod ordered them to throw up their hands. Then “Texas Jack” searched th m for weapons while the other three desperados? kept them covered with their rifles. Finding them to be unarmed Cashier Ball was ordered' to open the safe. The cashier explained that the safe’s door was controlled by a time look and that it could not by any means short of dynamite be opened before Its time was up, which would be 10 o’clock, or In about twenty minutes. “We’ll wait," said the leader, and he sat down at the cashier’s desk. Bob and Emrnet Dalton in the meanwhile were having bettor luck at the First National bank. When they entered the bank they found within Cashier Ayers, his son, Albert Ayers, and Teller W. H. Shepherd. None of them were armed, and with leveled revolvers the brother bandits easily intimidated them. Albert Ayers and Teller Shepherd were kept under the muzzles of Emmet Dalton’s revolvers while B<% Dalton forced Cashier Ayers to strip the’ safe vault and cash drawers of all the money contained in them and place it in a sack which had been brought jilong for that purpose. Bob Dalton Dle» in His Boots. Fearing to leave them behind, lest they should give the alarm before the bandits should be able to mount their horses anil escape, the desperadoes marched the Officers of the bank out of the door with the intention of keeping them under guard while they made their escape. The party made Its appearance at the door of Uio bank just as Liveryman Spears ana his companions of the Marshal's posse took their positions in the square. When the Dalton brothers saw the armed men in the square they appreciated their» peril on the instant, and leaving ■ the bank officers on the steps of the bank building, ran for their horses. As soon as they reached, the sidewalk Spears’ rifle quickly came to position. An instant later It spoke and Bob Dalton, the notorious leader of the notorious gang, fell in his tracks, dead. There was not a quiver of a muscle after he fell. The bullet had struck him In the right temple and ploughed through his brain and passed out just above the left eye. Emmet Dalton had the start of his brother, and before Spears could draw a bead on him he had dodged behind tho corner of the bank and was making time in tho direction of the I alley where the bandits had tied their horses. . . - The shot which dropped Bob Dalton aroused "Texas Jack* and his men In Congdon’s bank, where they were patiently waiting for the timelock of the safe to be sprung with the hour of 10. Running to the windows of the bank they saw their leader prostrate on the ground. Raising their rifles to their shoulders they fired one volley out of the windows. Cashier Ayers fell on the steps of his bank, shot through the

KIMaH* Rifle Again Hpeaki. The firing attracted the attention ot Marshal Connelly, who, collecting more men for his posse and with the foil that he had already gathered, ran hurriedly to the scene ot the conflict After firing their volley from the windows o( the bank tho bandits, appreciating that their only aafetv lay in flight attempted to escape. They ran from tho door ot the bank, firing as they, fled. The Marshal’s posse in the square, without organization of any kind, tired at the fleeing bandits, each man for himself. Spears' trusty Winchester spoke twice more in quick succession before the others of the posae could tako aim, and Joseph Evans and “Texas Jack" fell dead, both ahot through the head, making three dead bandits to his credit. In the general fusillade Grant E. Dalton, one of tho two surviving members of “Texas Jack's" squad, Marshal Connolly, D. M. Baldwin, and George Cubine were mortally wounded and died on the field. All o Ogee, the only survivor of the band, succeeded in escaping to tho alley, where the horses wore tied, and mounting the swiftest horse of the lot fled south in the dirootlcn of Indian Territory. Emmet Dalton, who had escaped from tho First National Bank, had already reached tho alloy in safety, but he .had some troublo in getting mounted, and Allie Ogee had already made his escape before Emmet got fairly started. Several of tho posse, anticipating that horses would be required, wore already mounted, and quickly pursued tho escaping bandits. Emmet Dalton's horse was no match for the fresher animals of his pursuers. As the pursuers cloc-ed on him, he turned suddenly in his saddle, and fired upon his would-be captors. The latter answered with a volley and Emmet toppled from his horse hard hit. He was brought back to town, and died later. He made an ante-mortem statement, confessing to the various crimes committed by the gang of which he was a member. Allie Ogee had about ten minutes* start of his pursuers, and was mounted on a swift horse. After the battle was over search was made for the money which the bandits had secured from the two banks. It was found in tho sacks where it had

been placed by the robbers. One sank was found under the body of Bob Dalton, who had fallen dead upon it while he was escaping from the First National Bank. The other was found tightly clinched in “Texas Jack’s" hand. The money was restored to its rightful owners. lord Tennyson is dead. An Attack of Influenza Complicated with Gout Results Fatally. Lord Alfred Tennyson, poet-laureate of Great Britain, died at his residence, Aidworth, Surrey, at an early hour Thursday morning. A slight cold taken a week before developed into influenza, which caused death. Alfred Tennyson was born at Somersby, Llnconshire, England, in 1803. His father, the Bev. George Clayton Tennye,«i, was the rector of Somersby wnd vicar of Bennington and Grimsby, while his mother was the daughter of the Bev. Stephen Fytehe, vicar of Louth. He was the third of a family of twelve children. The talent which gained for him the title of Poet Laureate of England began to develop Itself in his early youth, for when 18 years old he, with his brother Charles, who afterward became vicar of Grasby and assumed the name of Turner, published a small volume entitled “Poems by Two, Brothers." The poems attracted some attention, those signed “A. T." receiving the highest praise, Coleridge declaring that they alone of the selections in the volume gave hopeful promise of a coming poet. In 1850 there appeared anonymously what was probably the purest.and truest poem of that period, Tennyson's “In Memorlam,” a series of 129 brief poems all wrought together in grand pathetic tribute to the memory of the poet's college friend and companion, Arthur Hallam, who died In Vienna in 1833. For seventeen years Tennyson had borne the sacred grief of his friend’s death, during which time he composed the elegies contained in the volume “In Memorlam.” November 21, 1850, Tennyson was appointed to the honorary place of Poet Laureate of England, succeeding Wordswoith. Os the poems written in that capacity there have been few that have been considered by critics as works which are to take rank with others of his poems, notably the “Ode on the Death of the Duke of Wel-i llngton," and the “Charge of the Light Brigade at Balaklava.” Both of these were included in his volume entitled “Maud and Other Poems,” published in 1855. The residence of Lord Tennyson has been on the Isle of Wight for several years, near Freshwater Gate. He owned there a commodious stone house, with a pleasant library, where he spent the most of his hours of literary work, surrounded by his books. GEORGIA STILL DEMOCRATIC. Leaden Claim to Have Carried the State by 40,000 to 80,000 Majority. Georgia has elected a Governor, State officers, and a full General Assembly. For Governor and State officers there there were two full tickets in the field, one of which was the straight Democratic ticket and the other the People’s party ticket. The Bepubllcans nominated no State ticket, contenting themselves with placing a national electoral ticket in the field. An Associated Press dispatch says that Gov. Northen and the whole Democratlo ticket is elected by a majority of not less than 40,000, and the reports to come may even run it up to 80,000. In Fulton County, for instance, the precincts return such figures as 58 for Northen to 12 for Peek, 51 to 13, 55 to 5, and so on. Col. Peek’s own home gives a majority of 2 to 1 for Northen. Marlon County, the home of the People’s party candidate for Secretary of State, gives 1.000 majority for the Democrats. In about sixty counties of the 135 to be heard from the Democratic majority Is •ver 60,000. Thb Indiana Supreme Court has refused to advance on Its docket to an early hearing the suit recently appealed to teat the constitutionality of the apportionment acts of 1885 and 1891. - , Ths twenty-fourth anniversary of the establishment of the A.

For the post two years the stockmen in Boutt Counly have be n organ! e 1 in anticipation of a raid, and their ability to cope with the regenadcs has just been proved The Indians are in bunches of forty and fifty, and, as was their custom of old, tear down fences and turn their stock upon the fields of the ranchmen. Word of their coming was passed on up the Yampahund Snake Elvers, and as a result an armed force is opposing their advance. Lilly Park, Willow Creek, and the Maybell and Loy countries aro well represented. No collision has yet occurred.

The proclamation was but a collection of vividly colored hieroglyphics on a ! large sheet of paper, but caused consternation in the camp of the Indians When they were told that It meant that the great war chief In Denver was on I their trail, gurriedly gathering their blankets they left. Butrthoy have since i returned. . I ■
