The Dalton Gang, led by Gratton Dalton, attempted to rob two banks simultaneously in Coffeyville, Kansas in 1892. However, the townspeople were armed and waiting in a hardware store overlooking the banks. A shootout ensued that left four members of the Dalton Gang dead, including leader Gratton Dalton, and the fifth member Emmett Dalton wounded. This failed bank robbery attempt marked the end of the notorious Dalton Gang.
