THE DURKEE HEIRS
Claim Vast Fortune From Uncle
Sam

CHICAGO, Dec. pa special to the Tri-
bune from New York says:
If the assertions of the heirs of Charles
Durkee, formerly Mayor of Buffalo, are
well founded the national Government may
be compelled to pay them more than $780,.
000,0 900 on account of some Pacific Railroad
bonds, which, it is alleged, the former Mayor
on his death bed said belonged to him.
According to the attorneys of the estate,
Mr. Durkee told his wife he had caused to
be forwarded to the Metropolitan National
Bank of this city tin box containing an
assignment of the railroad bonds in question,
amounting to more than 1854, 900, 900, but
from that time until this, it is alleged by
the attorneys, they have been unable to
get any trace of the box.
There was rumor afoat in 1894, it is said,
that some of the bonds had passed through
the hands of Grant and Ward, and the
matter was called to the attention of the
Secretary of the Treasury. The heirs are
that some, if not all, of the bonds in ques-
ton, were recovered and lodged in the
vaults of the treasury at Washington.
1t is said the Court of Claims is again
to be called upon to make an investiga-
ton. These bonds are said to have been
issued on account of the Union Pacific,
Western Pacific, Central r eiic, Kansas
Pacific, Central Branch of the Sioux City
and Pacific Railroads. They bore 6 per
cent interest. The accrued interest, it is
alleged, now amounts to twice the prin-
cipal.
Charles Durkee, it is alleged, was the
assignee of all of the construction bonds
and of all the original bonds issued by the
Pacific corporations. 1t is alleged that
Charles +. Folger years ago recognized the
validity of these bonds.

THE PEACE TREATY
Perfectly Certain Of Ratification by
the Senate

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-Seventy SEN
ators are now claimed as being sufficiently
in favor of expansion to vote for ratifca-
ton of the treaty of peace, when that docu-
ment comes up before the Senate. Up to
tuesday, the number was seventy o ,e. ,us
the death of Senator Morrill, reduces that
number by one. This is out of a member
ship of ninety in the Senate, which shows
that even should some Senators wrongly be
placed in the expansion column, the treaty
will be ratified without difficulty, If its
friends can get vote on it. The opposition
has sufficient strength to consume many
days in talk, however, so that the vote NAV
be delayed until the last part Of the scs-
sion.
There is one great danger in this delay for
the Nicaragua Canal. When the Senate
gets to considering the treaty those same
Senators. who oppose the canal will also
oppose the treaty and, by talking against the
treaty in executive session, they will be con
suming time which ought to be devoted to
the canal debate. Considering that from
January to March is only sixty days
with eight Sundays out, leaving only fifty
two working days, it will not be a difficult
task for the opposition Senators to talk
either the treaty or the Nicaragua Canal bill
to death.

A Chicago Saloon Keeper Plays Fatal
Joke

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-Edward Kelly, a
well-known saloonkeeper of this city, has ac-
cidantally shot and killed himself. The
tragedy, which occurred in the victims sa-
loon, was the result of a Joke and was wit
messed by several of Kelly's friends.
James S. Savage, manager Of the Grove
land apartment building remarked that he
was going to an apartment building to collect
bill
You'll need gun to protect yourself"
laughed Kelly.
''Well, III be prepared for an emergency"
replied Savage, as he drew revolver from
his pocket and laid it on the bar.
Kelly picked up the weapon and looked at
it. Savage warned him that it was loaded.
"Why, that would not hurt baby" said
Kelly, as he threw the revolver on the floor
behind the bar. The next instant there was
a loud report and Kelly fell backward to
the floor.
"The gun fooled me-" he said, as he fell
and became unconscious. His startled com
panions hurried to his side and found that
the bullet had entered the left eye. A doc
tor was called, but Kelly died within a

ne DREADED DISEASE
WHY HORACE B. TODD SHOT
HIMsELF
HIS BROTHER WAS NEAR HIM
When the Fatad Shot Was Fired-The
Deceased Had Acted Queerly
at Times

Fear Of typhoid fever is thought to have
driven Horace b. Todd, an l8-year-oh school
boy. to commit suicide shortly after II
o'clock yesterday. The young man took his
Life by shooting himself near the right temple
with 38-caliber revolver. He had asked
his brother to come with him, and while the
brother was approaching, Horace fired the
shot, which resulted in death.
Todd and his brother, Paul I. Todd, who
is student at the dental department of the
Los Angeles Medical college, have been
patching" for the last two months at their
home, All South Fremont street. The
mother and sister of the brothers have been
absent for the past three years, as Miss Todd
is completing musical education at Flor
ence, Italy. About two months ago the
father, Dr. Fl. Baxter Todd, removed to
Aspen, Colorado, to practice dentistry. The
brothers had lived happily at the house,
Last Friday Horace complained of feeling
bad and the following day DR.. E. r
Brainard was summoned. The boy said he
had eaten large portion of mince pie, and
he thought this had helped to cause his
sickness. Horace's temperature was higher
than usual, and he expressed the fear to the
doctor that he might be contracting typhoid
feven DR.. Brainard decided that Horace
had merely an attack of Indigestion, and
after prescribing for him went away. The
boy continued to feel bad during the next
few days.
Yesterday morning Horace at first ap-
peared to feel better but after dressing he
