BOTH ARE DEAD.
Result OF a Pistol Duel Between
Two Young Texans.
TRAGEDY At MEMORIAL SERVICES.
In the Presence OF a Crowd of Friends
Each Empties the Contents
of His Revolver Into
the other.

Sweet Home, Tex. May 31.-The
neighborhood was assembled at Salem
church, eight miles from here, on Sat
urday, in observance of Decoration day
Two young men, Win Lewis and Wit
Bosworth, were among the number.
BAD blood existed between them, too
much talk being the cause. They
walked away from the crowd together
and stopped after going some distance,
appearing to talk the matter over very
calmly. One turned as if TO leave, when
the other drew a revolver. The other
wheeled and both fired about the same
instant and continued until their re-
volvers We're empty. Both were dead
when their friends got TO them. Every
bullet fired by each took effect in his
opponent Lewis was shot three times
through the body and once through the
arm. Bosworth was hit twice in the
head, twice in the body and once in the
leg. The duel could have been pre-
vented, but everyone thought when
they walked away that they were likely
TO patch up their troubles and as this
was desired they were allowed clear
field.

BIG ROBBERY RECALLED.
Ofer to Restore Securities stolen In
New York 10 Years ago.

offer tai Restore Securities stolen in
New York 10 Years ago.
New York, May 3l.-Nineteen years
ago the country was startled by the re-
port OF the biggest bank burglary
known in the history of the world. 1t
occurred Sunday, October p, 1875. The
Manhattan savings institution of this
city was robbed OF securities valued at
So, 700 and $1,000 in cash. With
the exception of a few bonds offered for
sale some time ago, none of the securi-
ties have been recovered. 1t was be-
lieved that they had been buried or de-
stroyed. That the securities are still
in existence is known here. A short
time ago negotiations were opened be-
tween men said to represent the bur
glars and President Joseph Bird. of the
Manhattan savings institution, for their
return.
The burglars have made a demand
for $4,000 and no questions TO be asked,
with the understanding that the securi-
ties are TO be handed over in good shape
and that Immediately upon their deliv-
cry the money shall be paid in cash.
President Bird, who at the time Of the
robbery was paying teller of the Man
haitian savings institution. said Sunday
that $4,000 had been asked for the re-
turn of the bonds, and, although the
bank officials would like to get them
back, he declared they would not pay
that amount. Continuing, Mr. Bird
said:
Many Of the securities are worthless
to-day should say since the government
came to our assistance some time ago by
an act OF congress authorizing the secre-
tary Of the treasury to reissue duplicates
In place of the stolen United States bonds
There was number Of other bonds issued
by cities and corporations, however. Some
of these are due soon, and, Of course, we
would like 10 have the originals as ii would
make it easter for us to collect the moneys
involved. l refer particularly to the
Aonkers city seven per cent. coupon bonds,
There We're S1lS,00Q Yonkers bonds stolen.
and out of that amount we have received
$9S,0o0. which leaves $4,000 due"
MIR. Bird says he believes the offer is
made in good faith aud the case has
been placed in the haLds of the bank S
counsel Those who participated in or
were connected with the robbery, were
Jimmy Hope, John Hope, Patrick
Shelvin, the Waterman OF the bank;
William Kelly, Peter Emerson, alias
Banjo Pete John Nugent, a police
man; Eddie Golding, alias Eddie
Goodie; John Tracy and Johnny Dobbs.
OF these, Jimmy and John Hope are
living in this city. The others are all
either dead or in prison.
