HEARSE DRIVERS TOO.
Sixteen Hundred Livery Drivers Are
Out at CHICAGO.

Chicago, Dec. 1S.-Sixteen hundred
livery drivers, backed by every team
sters' union in Chicago, struck today
for better wages and working condi-
tiOns.
Several meetings were held be-
tween committees representing the
livery owners and the drivers union,
but the employers refused to make
any concessions. claiming that busi-
ness did not warrant the paying of
higher wages, in view of the inroads
made by automobiles.
Nearly 400 livery stables are COM
pletely tied up.
Drivers of hearses went out with
the carriage drivers, and as a result
funeral professions will be curtailed.
The first trouble occurred when an
attempt was made to conduct a fun
eral at West Eighteenth and Airport
streets. An undertaken secured
enough conveyances to take the body
and mourners to the church, but
while the services were in progress
pickets compelled the drivers of the
hearse and carriages to desist, under
threats of violence.

of Charles G. Probst, travelling man.
VS.. the Great Northern Railway COM
pany and Burton G. Robertson, a con-
ductor on the road. was taken up in
the superior court this morning. The
suit was commenced to recover S1O,-
600 on account of the plaintiff being
eJected from train on the Great

TIL from the train with great vio-
lence; that he was dragged to the
platform and hurled from the train

is alleged that the plaintiff and an
other man boarded the train at Milan

Chattaroy, but that they only had 40
cents between them; that the con-
ductor accepted this, saying he would
make up the difference, 20 cents.
That after leaving Chattaroy the con-
ductor found the men still on the
train. and asked for their fare and
was informed that they had no money.
That he then put the plaintiff off the
train, and il the latter was injured

ANTAGONISTS ARE PUZZLED.
Internal Organs Were Nearly All in

ing results have developed at a post

William Allison. 21 years of age. who
died after ten days illness. apparent
~ from inflammation of the stomach.
lne young man had said he had been
poisoned and to satisfy the family a
post mortem was held. The surgeons
found most peculiar displacement
OF the internal organs.
The operators found an opening
through the diaphragm and a dilated
stomach, nearly three times it's nor
NAL size. completely filling the left
side Of the thoracic cavity, taking
the place of the left lung, only a small
rudimentary lung. about one inch
thick and three inches square.
Lying under the stomach was lound
the ascending and descending colon

colon and also in the thoracic cavity.
The heart was located on the lower
right side OF the thoracic cavity. ex-
tending parallel and next to the spi-

There is no question but that the an
atomical malformation of the differ

NINE MILLION DOLLARS
Left by the Late Pope in Trust for
His Successor,


Rome, Dec. 1S.--According to the
Tribuna, the vatican had $4,000, 900
francs sudden wealth poured into its
Golfers today. For some time certain
sums which We're known to be pos
sessed by Pope Leo were looked for
without result, the search toward the
end becoming somewhat feverish.
Cardinal Gotti, project Of the pro
paganda. accompanied by Mgr Mar
zOlini, one of Leo's secretaries. drove
up to the vatican today and. getting
out, hurriedly began tugging at a
heavy object in the carriage. As
sistance was offered but it was refus-
ed and Cardina Gotti and Mgr Mar
zOlini between them carried the mys-
terious object to the apartment Of
Pope Pins. They were Immediately
admitted and remained for two hours.
Intense curiosity was aroused by this
act and it was believed to have some
relation to the missing wealth and
the widest rumors We're circulated.
1T soon became known. however, that
the bag contained 45.0O0.O00 francs
($9,OOO.0OO in bank notes.
When Cardinal Gotti entered the
presence OF tne pope he SANK 10 MS
knees and pointing to his burden,
said:
Your holiness. the lamented Leo,
just before his death, confided to me
the money which | now lay at your
feet, saying that if I succeeded him
was to use it as | thought best. but
that if another took his place. I was
to turn the money over to him after
a period of four months had elapsed.
This | now do in the presence of Mgr
Marzolini, who has lleen the only
other person to share the secret"
The pope was much affected.
The Tribuna goes on to relate that
just about the time this scene was
being enacted in the papal apart
ments an electrician, while remov-
ing the hangings in the late Pope
Leo's chamber in order to get at the
electric light wires, found in hole
in the wall several bags which We're
carelessly tied. These bags were
found to contain 9,250,00O francs

THE lNFAMY OF DEsERTIoN

Who Was Lured to O'ReilIy's Dive
on Observation-Disclosures, Robbed and

The CHASTITY evidence of what is be-
iieved to have been a series of cold
blooded murders has been unearthed
at Occur d'Alene City.
Seven skeletons have been found
in what was IA years ago the back
DOT OF one Of the most notorious
dives in the Occur d'Alene mining
district. The bodies had been inter
red only one or two feet under the
ground, and no attempt was shown
to put them into boxes or coffins.
Laborers unearthed the skeletons
while grading for side track on the
new Spokane & Occur d'Alene elec-
trio line. The old building was
burned years ago. and the 4O-foot
roadway was eXcavated across part
of the lot
The WOrfkmen found all seven skele-
tons Within a radius of about 80 feet.
They were lying in many positions
and appeared to have been put in
hastily without any attempt to lay
out the bodies. The bones We're in
a fair state Of preservation, but

Reilly, a former soldier. conducted
a saloon and tough joint in the build
ing. In the rear part of the dive
French women and others lived. A
stable stood behind the building.
The rear lot was enclosed by high
board fence. The place was always
in bad repute. and O'Reilly was final
ly run out of town, about 1890 He
is supposed to be still living and is
reported to have rejoined the army.
The place was frequented by sol
diers. and the popular belief is that
the remains are those of soldiers who
were murdered at the place. About
that time reports of desertions were
frequent, and no special efforts were
made to hunt down those running
away. Men, in a number of cases,
it is reported, disappeared immediate
ly after payday. It is believed that
many of the men listed as desertecs
were killed and buried in this den.
AT times, it is said, two or three
men would disappear at once, and at
one time the Fourth infantry band
was so reduced that hardly enough
members could be mustered to play
the required music.
The building was put up in 1886
and stood until destroyed by fire in
1893. On one side of O'Reilly's dive
was harness shop and another dive
was close by. This was run by a
man named John Brown, who eft
many years ago.
Several other skeletons have been
exhumed in and near the city. Two
months ago the skeleton OF man
was found buried in a very shallow
grave about 800 yards from where
the new electric line crosses the old
Mullen road. This had been buried
without any coffin in much the same
way as the new finds.
In grading for the yard of the
Occur d'Alene Lumber company two
years ago two skeletons were found
enclosed in what was left of decay

Another find was in excavating for

Fourth and Sherman streets, where
body was found buried in a box.

saloons and business houses at Coeur

seven skeletons were found, it is ,,n-

ties are under suspicion. AS tam

itentiary offense, such escapades NAV
result seriously.
telegraph operator, a detective
(not connected with the police force)
and man who tried to place a bet
are the suspects.
The same wires connect the Ok
ford and Warwick with the Western
Union telegraph office. Wednesday
at the Warwick, about time for one
race, the wire failed to work properly.
While the wires were in trouble
man entered the Warwick and tried
to place a large bet on a horse at
Oakland. This was refused because
of the wire trouble.
The proprietor stepped over to the
Oxford and found that the result had
been received properly there, and
that the horse on which the bet was
wanted had won.
An investigation was started. It
was found that the insulation had
been scraped from the wires over a
Howard street block and the two
wires placed in contact. This left
the Oxford wire in good shape, while
that of the Warwick was cut off the
circuit. The detective had been
seen acting suspiciously about the
poolroOms, and the hand of one IA
miliar with the wires was plain in
the clever arrangement OF the short
circuit. The man who tried to place
the bet is supposed to be the third
OF the group.

ORIGIN OF MEMORIAL DAY.
Rufus p. Parrish of Kewanee Urged
CommemoFation of the Dead.

Rufus p. Parrish of Kewanee Urged
Commentator of the Dead.
Memorial day originated with a man
who was recently followed to the
grave at Kewanee, Ill.,, by one OF the
largest throngs of old soldiers that
ever attended a funeral in a town of
like size.
The name of this man was Rufus p
Parrish and it is admitted that let
ter he wrote to Senator John A. Logan
was chiefly instrumental In the action
Of congress in establishing q day on
which throughout the nation graves OF
the union dead should be strewn with
flowers and their brave acts commem-
Grated.
1t is matter Of history that the
custom of decorating graves Of sol
diers was commenced in Kewanee in
1868, five years before Senator Logan
secured the action CT congress ap-
pointing memorial day. 1t is known
that Mr.. Parrish, who had always
taken the greatest interest in this OBJ
seryance, wrote an urgent letter to
Senator Logan, urging him to take In
to serious consideration legislation
that would set aside day on which
all could join in memorial services
Aside from the interest that Mr.. Par
IRISH took in such patriotic movements
he had very interesting history. His
grandfather on his mothers side car
ried a flint-lock musket in the revolu-
tionary war, and the father of his faith
er was recruiting officer In the war
of 1912. He was one of fifteen men to
organize the first Y. M. c. A in the
United States. During the war OF the
rebellion and before he was an out
spoken abolitionist and figured promi-
nently in underground railroad work
by which slaves escaped to Canada
He was In the forefront Of nearly e1-
cry movement of enlightenment Of the
community serving to foster Libraries
and lectures.
Mr.. Parrish was born In New Hamp-
shire about eighty-seven years ago and
came to Illinois in April, 1855. He is
survived by his faithful wifs. with
whom he dwelt in wedlock for the uur
usual term of sixty-four years.
