The Dalton Gang's Last Raid, 1892
« The observer called out to the men in the store that 'The bank is being
robbed!'»

David Elliott was editor of the local newspaper

The C.M. Condon Bank

Many of the townspeople gathered in

Isham's Hardware Store near the banks.
Not only did the unarmed citizens get rifles,
shotguns, and ammunition, but the store
also provided an excellent view of the two
banks and the alley where the gang had tied
their horses

Grat Dalton and Dick Broadwell
« Emmett boldly rode back to where
Bob Dalton was lying, and reaching
down his hand, attempted to lift his
dying brother on the horse with him. 'Its
no use,' faintly whispered the fallen
bandit, Emmett dropped from his
horse, carrying the sack containing
over twenty thousand dollars with him,
and fell near the feet of Bob, who
expired a moment thereafter." »
