The most extravagant circumstan and
one which has lived to this day. was the &C.
casion when he had just returned from
driving behind some fast horses he had
been purchasing for trotting purposes
Ringing up the boy after going to his room
he ordered that half a dozen baskets of
champagne be sent up at once, as he want
ed to take a bath. The wine was produced
without delay, and the bath, such rs few
even among the very rich have INDUCED
In, was taken and Durkec. evidently very
much refreshed. paid for the luxury and
resumed his riotous carouse.
The story OF Durkee's high gambling in
Tombstone is perhaps the most interesting
Of series of wild eXtravagances and of
which Arizona people like best to talk
about He was a frequenter of the ORR
entail saloon, kept by NJ. F. Joyce, said to
be one Of the richest gambling places in
the west. One day Durkee came into town
and announced that he was ont for little
fun. This meant much to the saloon men,
and he was given the right of way along
the line.
See here" said he, II want a chance
to play little faro and don't want any
one to chip in. Do you understand" said
Durkee impressively.
They understood, and he was told to
shout his orders. He did so. The first to
be issued was for woman of the place
called En- to take the dealers place at the
table and another young woman of the
same character to take the lookout, -
whereupon he pulled off his coat, and call
ing upon all hands to liquor at his expense
he began his play. His first bet was ST.
600 on an ace He lost before he had time
to draw his breath, but instead of being
disconnected he went at it with renewed
vigor Luck was always against him, save
with an occasional small winning, and in
three hours after taking charge of the table
he lost just So, 900, all the money he had
with him, and he withdrew from the game.
Despite all adverses of this character
Durkee never lost his temper and seemed
utterly careless as to the outcome These
