Mi'Mrius, Tenn., Oct. C Since Mart Mitchell, the original "Swamp Anger of the Arkansas swamps, bit tho dust. Jack Thorn, alias Jack Smith, bars been worthily wearing his mantle. He made his habitation in the river bottoms; knew every'path through the uuderbrusb, and could point out the resorts of game of all kinds. Crittenden county, Arkansas, opposite Memphis, cn the river, was tho sceue of his wauaeringM. He was known by the camo of Jack Smith. A couple of years ago be was employed by the Ragzio Fishing and Hunting Club, a Memphis organization tbat owns lakes and game preserves in Arkansas, and be was so well acquainted with the needs of sportsmen that they put bim in charge of their club-bouse at Raggio lake, where ho moon made himself valuable, and Mr. P. J. Kelly, one of tbe most enthusiastic members of the club, dubbed bim the "Swamp Angel of Ragcio Lake." a name that was 60on adopted by all the other members of tbe club. bmith at first seemed a quiet, unostentatious and industrious man, but when he became more familiar he grew to be rather offensive. He got overbearing, and about six weeks ago he was discharged from his position as club-house keeper. Then he became bad. Armed with revolvers, shotguns and knives in bis boots he fortilied himself in the club-house and defied the entire membership of the Raggio Club to dispossess him. It was a great blntT, but it went. Only a few members of the club have ventured to the club-house during the pasfsix weeks. ' But some of tbe members of the club began a siego on th quiet against the "Swamp Angei." They learned be was an escaped convict from the Arkansas State penitentiary at Little Rock. The State authorities were notified, and Warden Dyre, of the penitentiary, set on foot measures to capture the "Angel." Two officers in the guise of sportsmen, went to to the club-house and spent several days with Smith, alias Thorn. They got on easy terms with him and yesterday induced him to accompany them to Karle, where they were met by Deputy Sheriff Frank Williams, who undertook to arrest the ex-convict. The "Anger resisted and made show of tight, but before he could get his irons in position a couple of bullets from the o Mirers' pistols had pierced his brain and he fell while in the act of drawing his pistol. Thorn has had a checkered career. Of good family, he went wrong and soon landed in the penitentiary. His frequent escapes were miraculous, and once in the caneurakes he dehed arretr, and was more dangerous than the bears tbat made their home with bim. THE COTFKYVILIX TRAGEDY.' All the Dead Uandlts Hurled Euiuaett Dalton Talks with a Reporter. Cofff.yvillk, Kan., Oct. 0. The streets were packed to-day will! crowds of excited people, attracted by the terrible tragedyof yesterday. On every street cornsr, in every alley, stood groups ot citizens discussing tbe bank robberies, with their at tendant tragio results. At the city jail an awning had been improvised. and under it lay the four dead bandits iu cotlins provided by tbo county. with a guard to - see that they were not disturbed. All morning a procession of sight-seers', wich seemed to be never ending,' viewe'd' Ino dead outlaws. The desperadoes, cold in death, their faces uncovered, seemed to possess an attraction for the curious. Among the thousands which viewed the bodies were many who have 'known the Daltons for years, and while their crimes deserved to place tbem beyond the pale of sympathy, here and tbere were to be found, people who could scarce repress a sigh of regret for the fate of the dead men. The stairway leading . to the room where Emmett Dalton lies was at all times surrounded by a crowd of men and wombii. who did their utmost to persuade tbe guard to let them pass to the presence ol the wounded man. All sorts of reasons were advanced by these people, but, with few exceptions, their requests were not complied with. A reporter was allowed to enter the room, however. Linmett was weak from the loss of blood and talked little. He said: "1 met tbe boys late Saturday rjight near Tulasa, and, in the course of- their talk, they asked me how much money 1 had. I replied that 1 h'ad 8-0. They said they bad l'0u, and then told me of their plan to rob both banks of Cotteyville in one day. Bob said he wanted to lower Jesse James's record. I tried to persuade him cot to try it. bnt did not succeed, as he had a grudge against tha town, and wanted revenge for what he had beard the people here were saying and trying to do abont us. 1 Lad no money to leave the country on, and I also did not think we could get away if we came. I ilnally consented. .We knew the lay of the land thoroughly, and it w5 agreed that Bob and I should take the First National and the others Condon's Bank. Bob thought he and 1 were better than any six of tbe others, aud, knowing the First National to be the hardest to rob, we selected that, and assigned Condon's to the others." Emmett stated that he wasan own cousin of the Younger brothers, and until he knew that the other boys were dead he refused to say anything, but when their dead bodies were carried up to him for inspection he identified them as Bob and Grant Dalton. Tom Evans and Jack Moore. He shed tears as he gazed on his dead brothers. The names he gave to the two latter men are not the names they were known by jn this section, but they are cot their real nam s. These were withheld from the public to-day for good reasons. ' The dead bandits were buried here, this afternoon, in the city cemetery, in a lot owned by the Dalton family. The bodies were carried to tbe grave in transfer Wagons, without a siugle mourner or sympathizing friend to asaist in tho last rites. The mother of the Daltons was telegraphed for yesterday, and this morning a message was received from Ben. tho oldest boy of the family, that he would come on here. Ben has never been with tbe boys in their raids, and is a farmer, living with his mother at present near Kingfisher. O. T., Emmett is wounded in the right hip and rightarm by Winchester bullets, aud jo Ins back are twelve buckshot, the latter being the shot which knocked him oil his horse, lie had reached his horse and mounted with the bag of money from the First 2ational on his arm when, seeing Bob fall, he turned back to assist bim. and it was then that he received the bullets that brought him down. The money secured from the First National Bank amounted to S'J0,240. and that from Condon's $3,0C0. The amounts turned over to the bnnks exceed this sum and serve to verify the statement by Emmett that they had S'.Xt) when they came to town. It Is now thought that only iivo men took part in tbe robbery, and, if this be trne, the entire gang was exterminated. Sheriff Callahan wauts to take Emmett. Dalton to Independence, but tbere is a vigorous protest against it. and it will hardiy bo allowed, as the people here are determined that ho shall not be taken away. Emmott Dalton made a written statement tbat Bob and Grant were concerned in the California robbery, and also executed the Adair robbery several weeks since. Tbe body of Lucius Baldwin was taken to Burlington, Kan., this morning by his mother, and Charles Brown's remains were sent to Hurley. S. D where his wife is. The funeral services over Marshal Connelly and George Cubine were held this afternoon. The remains, of Connelly will be buried at Independence, Kan. Cashier Ayer'sswound is not so serious ns At first thought, and unless blood-poisoning seta in be will soon recover. Charley Gump was another citizen who was wound ed by tbe gang, receiving a shot in his left wrist, which loirove his jun auainst bia breast, hurting him badly. All -Lie wounded men are getting on nicely. Petitions to the Pacilio Express Company and 'Hiiaouii, Kansas & Texas Railroad

Company have been circulated asking that they pay the large rewards for tbe death of the Daltons to tbe families of the murdered citizens. At 11 o'clock to-night Emmett Dalton was still alive. William Dalton arrived this evening from his home in Oklahoma, and is in constant attendance upon his brother Etnmett's bedside. At midtiight Emmett is slowly sinking and there is no probability of his surviving beyond two or tbreo hours. His brother remains constantly at his bedside and attends bim as faithfully and tenderly as if the dying bandit were an innocent boy instead of a hardened ruffian. The party that started in pursuit of Allie Ogee returned early this morning, having lost track of the tngitive bandit in the wild country below here. Ogee, it is known, was badly wounded, and it is believed be will turn up in some Oklahoma town where he will probably go to get medical treatment One of the Good Daltons. Guthrie. O. T Oct. a William Dalton, a brother of the noted outlaws, passed through here to-day on his way to Cofteyville, Kan., to take charge ef tbe bodies of bis brothers and see Emmett. tbe wounded brother, who telegraphed bim to see him before he died. William Daltou formerly lived in California, and 1 rather a tine, prosperous-looking man. He is tbe third son of tha family, of ten. He refused to talk mnch, and seemed beart-brokeu at the Violent death bis brothers had met.

Oct Cw-The two thousand colored people of this place are in a ferment of excitement and tear over the prophecies of Rev. Andrew Jones, a negro preacher, who has been exhorting in the Second Baptist Church. Parson Jones claims to be a prophet cd among his prophecies be claim's the foretelling of tho Johnstown flood and the Charleston earthquake. He says all his prophecies are put in his mouth by "Tbe Spirit." and the ignorant negroes believe that he is a second St Paul. Jones came to Westchester a few days ago and visited Rev. Asbury SmcJlwood. There are stories of his mysteriously curing headache and other slight ailments, while one young man says be drove the scrofula from his blood. His actions and mode of living were such as to impress tbe fervent negroes. On Sunday he aroused from apparent deep reverie while in tbe home of Smallwood. and announced that the "spirit" was moving in him.
