Van Buren Argus
Crawford County, Arkansas
August 17, 1892

Sheriff John Steward received, last Saturday, the following letter, which is
presumably from Bob Dalton, leader of the famous gang of robbers who are
supposed to be in the Indian Territory:

McAlister, I T, August 12, 1892
Mr. John Steward, Van Buren, Ark.

Dalton Boys. You need not Bee a frade of having no trouble with us. I Met a
