once noted king Of Bunco Men" is dy-
ing of Bright's disease in New Caledonia,
the French penal colony to which he was
transported for life for the murder or
Kid Waddell. in Paris in 1895. a Chi
cago friend received a letter from the
king q few days ago. OBrien says, in
part:
How I would like TO see Chicago once
more before l die. / suppose she has
passed New York by this time in popula-
tion. Years ago. when | was a kid, we
used to think that the Bulls Head was

that privilege will never be granted me.

GREAT IRON CEMETERY
TO HOLD $4,000 BODIES
Method of Interment in Venezuela to BE
RevOlutionized by American
Enterprise.

Philadelphia, Dec. 19.-American manu-
facturers will soon be asked to submit
bids for the construction of an iron grave
yard at Caracas, Venezuela. Plans are
now being prepared in the office of
Philadelphia architect. The cemetery
will have q capacity for 25, 600 bodies.
The existing system of interment in
Caracas has been unsatisfactory for
many years. An exhibit of structural
ironwork in the warehouse of the Ameri-
can Manufacturers Association in Cara
cas- suggested a cemetery built entirely
of iron. A syndicate in which American
capital Is interested was formed to build
the graveyard and the success of the
project is said to be assured.
The cemetery will resemble in shape a
Greek cross. 1t will be constructed on
the level of the ground, and will rise more
than 100 feet. Over the center will be a
great iron dome. The interior will be
traversed by avenues, opening upon
which will be spaces for depositing bod
les These spaces viii be arranged in
sections for families when desired. and
their interior arrangement will resemble
burial vaults of the usual type.
Many thousand tons of iron will be used
in the construction of the cemetery The
graveyard viii probably be built in some
city in the United States and shipped to
Caracas in sections.

equal amount. j. D. Racey had
SIS, 900. Most of the Progresses pas

Young and Stafford were at the bar

being considerably loser, accused
Young of cheating, at the same time
striking him on the face. There was
an almost simultaneous reaching for
weapons, but Stafford was the first to
shoot. Both men emptied their revolt
vers as rapidly as they could crook
their trigger fingers. Both attempted
to reload, but suddenly Stafford stag

dead. A bullet had entered his right
breast, penetrating the right ventricle
Of the heart, and another had passed
through his right thigh.

The extent to which his life is endan-

An inquest held at 2 o'clock this aft

killing was done in self-defense.
Not a word was spoken by either
party during the duel. Although ten
shots were fired, only three took effect.
