The Town Under Arms and Beady to Give the Bandits a arm Reception. Many Winchesters are Purchased From a Z.etter Received Dy John Kloehr, the Slayer of the Three Desperadoes, It is Qnlte Evident That There Still Remains Members and Sympathizers of the Dalton QaDff.

Coffev-vtlle, Oct 14. Again is this town the scene of great excitement Another train robbery has occurred almost at its doors and all day wild rumors of a contemplated attack upon the city by the reorganized Dalton gang have been afloat Yesterday morning a telegram signed by Detective Dodge, of the Wells-Fargo Express and dated Wharton, was received here. It stated that a large body of desperadoes had left that place for Coffeyville for the purpose of avenging the death of the Daltons, Powers and BroadwelL The town was at once in an uproar. Informal meetings were held and telegrams were sent to Parsons and Kansas City asking that Winchesters be shipped at once. Everything is comparatively quiet to-day, and very few people really expect an attack; but if one is made the invaders will get a reception fully as warm as that accorded the Daltons October 5.

There is every reason to believe from the actions of some of the men who have visited Coffeyville that if Emmet Dalton recovers some steps will be taken to liberate him. The following letter received by John Kloehr, the man who has the credit of killing three of the Dalton gang, shows at least that all of the gang are ot dead: From Arkansas City, October, 1892: To Jobs Kloehr: Dear Sir: I take the time to tell you and the city of Coffeyville that all of the gang ain't dead yet by a of a sight and don't you forget it I would have given all I ever made to have been there on the 5th. There are three or four of the gang left and we shall come to see you some day. That day the 5th of Octoberwe were down in the Chickasaw nation. We did not know it was coming oil so soon.

We thought it wa3 coming off November 5. we shall have revenge for your killing of Bob and Grat and the rest of them. You people had no cause to take aims against the gang. The bankers will not help the widows of the men that got killed there and yon thought you were playing fire when you killed three of us, but your tima will soon coma when you will soon go into the grave and pass in your ohecks for the killing of Bob and Joe Evans and Texas Jack. So take warning.

We will leave you in the hands of God for this time. Yours truly, Dalton Gang. Many people here believe that John Kloehr is a marked man, but he does not seem at all alarmed. Detective Dodge, it will be remem bered, is the man who, in company with Deputy United States Marshal Thomas, arrived in Guthrie, Ok. two days after the Daltons raided Coffeyville and stated that they had been on the- trail of the men for six weeks.

They left the following day, continuing their search for the remainder of the gang. The people of the neighboring towns stand ready to protect the people of Coffeyville and forever wipe out every member and sympathizer of the gang of outlaws. EVERYTHING QUIET. Coffeyville, Oct. 14.

Everything is quiet here this morning. No raid was made last night and nothiug serious is apprehended at present. All sorts of wild rumors are afloat and it is difficult to eif the facts from imagination. A report came in this morniDg that another train had been held up and robbed last night on the Missouri Pacific west of here, but it seems the only foundation for the rumor was that some tramps had broken into a freight carat Deering, the fi-st station west ot here, and helped themselves to some canned goods and provisions. Ben and Wiil Dalton and their mother are still here.

There are no more telegrams fiom detectives in town, but one report has it that about twenty tough looking men with Winchesters left the train at Deering last Bight. Another report that a body of armed men are camped in the scrub oaks about four miles west of town. The Winchesters ordered from Kansas City arrived yesterday and were distributed where they will do the most good in an emergency. No further trouble is anticipated, but the town is on guard and pickets are kept out, and if any confederates of the dead Daltons attempt to wreat vengeance upon the citizens of this town they will be accorded a warm reCronj The Ballman Car Co. Chicago, Oct 14.

At the annual meeting of the Pullman Palace Car Co. there was $23,500,000 of the capital stock represented. The directors were re-elected as follows: George M. Pullman, Marshall Field, J. W.

It is learned that a mob of infuriated citizens stormed the jail at Monroeville and took therefrom Burrel Jones and his son Moses with two accomplices, who were charged, with murdering Bichard L. Johnson and his daughter and burning the bodies at their residence at Davis ferry, on the Alabama river, last Saturday night The officials learned that a mob had been organized from the neighborhood of Lower Peach Tree and was coming to the jail for the purpose of burning the four negroes at the stake. The prisoners were at once taken from the jail and an attempt made to spirit them away, but the officers ran into another mob, who took the four prisoners and after hanging them to a tree filled their bodies with bullets. Burrel Jones made a full confession while in jail, and said that the four men went to Johnson's for the purpose of robbery and the old man discovered them, whereupon he was murdered with an ax. The daughter, Miss Johnnie, came to the rescue of her father, and the fiendish devils, after assaulting her, murdered her.

The house was then set on fire to hide all traces of the crime. The mob that was to have burned the culprits expressed much dissatisfaction at being thwarted in their designs. CHRISTIE GETS AWAY. Tahxequah, Oct Last night Sheriff Harris induced twenty good and true Cherokees to go with six deputy marshals to the house of Ned Christie. They surrounded it and just about daybreak they set fire to it Christie ran out through the blaze and smoke and made good his escape, though the posse is in hot pursuit It is likely that "hot pursuit" is about all it will amount to.

Christie is over the hills and far away. OCEAN MAIL CONTRACTS. An American Company to Operate a Line of Steamers to Southampton. Washington, Oct 14.

E. Howard, of Kansas City, Prince won in 85:26, or three seconds in advance of the mare. A stiff wind was blowing and the track was exceedingly rough or better time would have been made.

Passenger Depot Burned. Chtllicothe, Oct 14. The Wabash passenger depot in this city was burned by an incendiary last night involving a loss on building and baggage stored of about $4,000. The freight depot of this road was burned about two weeks ago and a night or two later two or three freight cars were also burned. There is no certain clew to the fire bugs but the citizens are determined to probe the matter to the bottom.

Ixdianafolis, Oct 14 Yesterday afternoon the Marion county grand jury returned indictments against seven of the supreme officers of the Iron Hall, as follows: Freeman F. Somerby, supreme justice, Indianapolis, Ind. Mark Davis, supreme cashier, Indianapolis; J. T. Younghusband, supreme trustee and chairman of the board, Detroit, Mich.

J. Henry Hayes, supreme trustee and secretary of the board, Camden, N. J. C. E.

Thompson, suf preme trustee, Binghamton. N. Y. George Fountain, supreme trustee, Jersey City, N. E.

W. Bouse, supreme trustee, Baltimore. The indictments are joint and are in two counts. The first count charges them with the embezzlement of $200,000 of the order's funds which they converted to their own use. The second count charges them with converting to their own use $300,000 by using it in Somer-by's bank in Philadelphia.

Necessary papers will be issued and the governor will be asked for requisitions so that the indicted men may be brought in as soon as possible, and it may be that Judge Cox will order the arrest of Somerby by wire, asking that he be held until an officer can reach him with the necessary documents to return him to "headquarters" in Indianapolis. It is likely that Davis will be arrested to-day. As the amount alleged in the indictments to have been embezzled is a large one, it is probable that Judge Cox will require a heavy bond. Some of the men, Davis particularly, have considerable property, and it is believed will have no trouble to furnish a bond in almost any amount KANSAS ODD FELLOWS. The Order Will Accept the Offer of a Big Endowment Near Ottawa, Kan.

Fokt Scott, Oct 14. At the session of the grand lodge, the formal acceptance of the Boissiere endowment for an Odd Fellows' orphans home was brought up.

The question of electing grand officers by vote of the subordinate lodges was submitted to the subordinates for a vote which will be taken before the next grand lodge at Topeka. The matter of redistricting the state was put over for another year.

The officers were installed, after which an adjournment was taken until one year hence at Topeka. The Eebekahs elected the following officers: Elma B. Dalton, Winfield, president; Mrs. P. Riddle, Minneapolis, secretary; Mrs.

Blumm, Kansas City, treasurer. The Topeka canton won the $150 prize in the prize drilL ANARCHIST BERKMAN. Bis Bold But Unsuccessful Attempt to Escape. Pittsburgh, Oct 14. Last Saturday evening when the prisoners in the Western penitentiary were marching to their cells Anarchist Berkman, who is confined in the Western penite n-tiary for assault on H.

Frick made a dash for liberty just as he reached a short platform leading to the top of the wall surrounding the prison, where the guards are stationed. He gained the wall and without stopping to see what was on the other side he jumped. The anarchist landed on the brick pavement forty feet below, apparently unhurt As he picked himself up and tried to stagger away Guard Young, who was some distance away, brought his gun to bear.

News of the awful disaster was soon carried to the homes of the miners and a moment later the wives and mothers of the unfortunate men had gathered about the mouth of the pit. All were excited and most of the women were crying and were wringing their hands hysterically.

The mine superintendent was awake to the necessity of prompt action and without losing time gathered all the miners in the vicinity and organized them into squads that the work of clearing away the wreckage and rescuing the entombed men might be done night and day until it was. accomplished. The women were tenderly but firmly urged to stand back that they might not in any way hinder the work. In less than half an hour the task was begun. The first squad of rescuers entered upon the task with a zeal and determination that gave the weeping women hope that thsir loved ones might yet be saved.

But detarmined though the rugged workmen were they were frequently driven back by the poisonous "black gas." Several of the miners were overcome by it and had to be carried out. The work had been in progress two hours when two miners who had been imprisoned in a new entry made their way half dragging, half carrying two others who were so badly overcome that they were unable to get out alone. The appearance of these men at the entrance of the mine was greeted with a shout of joy from the little gathering outside. The hysterical women had become cooler by this time. The half prostrated miners were quickly cared for and by the very women who a short time before were wringing their hands in despair.

When the explosion occurred it was accompanied by a verv heavv fall of coal.rock and debris which entombed five of the miners. Early this morning the last body was reached and brought to the surface.
