A BLOODYTRAIL Made by two of Bandit Bill Cook’s Lieutenants THEY HOLD UP A TOWN And rob its Houses and Loot its Stores then Shoot to Kill as they Ride Away Bill Cook not with them on Raid. Coffeyville, Kaii.,Nov , o—Two0 —Two of the Cook gang plundered the mwn of Lenapah, 1.T., and left a bloody trail bshind them tbia afternoon. They entered the town *in the character of bold bandits, without any attempt at coneealmsut, ■ and terrorized the citizen® until they had carried out their planj of rob bery E E Mel ten, a brave young man, who attempted to Http thfwn with his gun when they were ride-, ing away, was shot aud instantly killed. Another man, whose name can not be learned tonight, is Reported to have been seriously wounded Both of the victims were with « small force of citizens who hasti ly armed themselves and ed to prevent the escape of the bandits. The robbers were mounted on fast horses and were heavily armed. Some of the citizens claim to have recognized them Bill and Jim French, well-known lieu tenants of Bill Cook, the leader of the gang. The robbers held up the proprietors of two stores and looted both places. They also robbed the postiffice John Shurelt, the prourietor of cue store, was relieved of <IOO m money and a gold watch. These articles were taken frern hUjteraou. Mr. Shnfelt proclaimed hie loss to the town before the robbers had finished tbair work aud the band of citizens were almost between them and their horses when the robbers went to mount. An effort was made to stop them, | but they were on horseback, with drawn pistols and were flying; be fore their would-be captors could make a concentrated movement. Melton was more rash than the others and met death in conse quence. The news, as it reached the city, does not state in what manor or how seriously the second victim was njured. A report says the bandits? are iheaded for Coffeyville, which is only fifteen miles from Lenapah. This place is the scene of, many tragic robberies and the police de partment with volunteers are pre pared to meet them in the same way they meet the Daltons two years ago when almost the entire band was wiped out.

LIVELYJIMES I Two Saturday Night Rackets that Cause Excitement. A CUTTING SCRAPE Joe Washington had an eye cut by Tom Hendricks--Alvin Kite is Shot at bv a Cop and Promptly Shoot; Back. A lively fusilade of pistol shots about 9 o’clock last night, soon filled the streets with excited peo ple. A negro, two or three policemen, a deputy shereff, a countryman and pistols galore were all mixed up in a lively scrimmage. It seems that officers Millard Mulksy and Tom Logan had arrest ed a negro named Kiley Chislom, and were carrying him to the sta tion house. Alvin Kite, a white boy about nineteen years old, hailing from Chulio, took a crazy notion that he would rescue the negro, and upon attempting to do so was arrested. Mr. Logan had the negro in charge and Mr. Mulkey the white boy, and as they got to the corner of Fourth Avenue, Kite jerked oose from the officer and commen ced to run across Broad towards the Masonic Temple. Mulkey fired his pistol in the air to frighten the fellow, but the plan didn’t work. When Kite got about two-thirds of the way across the street , he deliberately turned about and fired three shots at Mulkey. He then continued on up Fourth Avenue and turned down First street. As he turned the corner Mulkey shot four times at him, but Kite kept up his 2:40 gai f , merrily whistling “he never touch ed me.” Kite kited on down the street and turned into the alley way by Rounsavills warehouse. Deputy Sheriff MoConnal was down that way and tried three shots at the Heeding boy. But either Mr. Mac's aim was bad or Kite was so tall and thin that none of the shots took effect. Kite was caught about this place by Deputy Marshall Guice, and carried to the station house, whee he will have time to think ‘where he is at.’ A CUTTING SCRI’E. Last night in Mil'ers saloon un der the opera house Joe Wasington land Tom Hendricks were drinking at a prety lively rate. In some way they got into a dis pute and Hendricks cut Washing ton twice across the left eye. No one in the saloon seemed to know anything about the fight and say they did not see it, Washington was taken to Trev itt & Johnsons drug store, and Drs. Harnin and Wynn gave him the neccessary attention. He was badly wounded and will loose the sight of his eye, Hendricks was arrested, but gave bond and was released. He had a slight cut on his ha nd, and said that Washington cut him. But Washington claimed that he did not cut Hendricks at all. =-h H Careless Driving. A careless negro boy came near causing a serious accident yester day morning. An electric car com ing in from EastJ Rome had reach ttie corner of East Becoud street and Second Avenue. A negro boy was driving a dray and paying no attention to anything until the vehicle was across the track right in front of the car, aud before the motorman could put on brakes he smashed into the dray. Fortunately no one was ut that was about the worst scared coon iu the county. The dray was not injured. This careless driving should stop as it is likely to cause some on® to ba badly injured. The mo torman was Dot to blame fcr th» accident as the boy wheeled the dray directly it front of the car.
