(Kansas City Journal) Two men who parted ten years ago With murder in their hearts after ‘keeplng up a running fire with Win. cheaters, met on the tanbark of the Rhoda Royal circus last night and one of thorn, L‘nlmet Dalton, formerly one oi.‘ the notorious Dalton gang [of bank robbers, extended his hand to the other and said: "Hello Jim. Glad I didn't hit you that time down at Vinta. " The other man, dressed in the fez of a slrriner and evening clothes turned and looked at the man who addressed him but did not recognize in the sombrero topped circus rider before him the fleeing desperado who had turned in his saddle 10 years be fore on the Oklahoma plain and so nearly snuffed out his life with a, bul- let. Dalton introduced himself and the other. J. H. Knapp, president of the Knapp Construction Company. grasped the hand of the brown skinned man in his own. “And l'nr glad i didn’t hit you," he said. For half an hour the men stood there talking, and parted friends. Emmet Dalton is the youngest of the old Dalton gang Knapp was at that time a special officer for the Wells- Fargo Express Company. while chasing the Dalton brothers the inci- dent occurred which both remember- ed so clearly. '111ey became sepa- rated from the others and Knapp took several shots at the fleeing out- law, which the latter returned, but , noithe1 was hurt. Dalton’s horse flnv ally outstripped that of the officer and he got away. Night $1.00 QUALITY AT " Is this the home of Miss Gladys -Gotrox?” "Yes." “Tee hee; can you guess who this is?"
