ALAMEDA, Jan. 24.-According to a
telegram received here to-day by rela-
.tives of Miss Mary G. Mckee, who died
on a westbound overland train, and
whose body was taken from the train
at Albuquerque, N. Mex, yesterday,
the young woman's demise was due to
heart disease. 1t was at first thought
when Miss Mckee was found dead in
her berth in a sleeping car that she
had taken her own life, but an au-
topsy has shown that she passed away
from natural cause.
Mrs L. B. Chase, sister of Miss
Mckee, says the latter bad been In
poor health for some time. and that
on her way home from New York she
was forced to stop at Chicago for med
ical treatment. Miss McKees body is
now on the way to Alameda and is due
to arrive here Thursday. Arrange

been made. Surviving Miss Mckee are

DUKES BRIDE
in THE TOMBS
Arrested in New York on a
Texas Indictment and for
Want of Bail Put in Cell

NEW YORK, Jan. A.-Mrs. Alice
Webb-Duke, wife of Brodie L. Duke,
was arrested at an office in Broad
street in this city to-day on requisition
papers issued by the Texas authorities.
Mrs Duke had been indicted by the
Grand Jury at Nacogdoches, Texas. on
the charge that she and Charles l..
Taylor, of Chicago, made false state
ments in an instrument, on the strength
of which a stockholder in one OF the
national banks in that place was in
duced to indorse their notes for $4,000
Mrs. Duke was arrested as she was
alighting from cab to enter an office
in Broad street. When Mrs. Duke was
notified that she was under arrest she
became hysterical and screamed and
wept. She declared: I'm the wife of
Brodie L. Duke. His family are trying
to hurt me. I have done nothing
wrong She insisted upon making a
call in the building as she had intended,
but the detective would not permit 1t
and took her to the District Attorney s
office in a cab. She sat weeping in that
office until her counsel arrived.
When Mrs. Duke was arraigned in
the Police Court she was held in $4,000
bail. This her counsel was unable to
secure and Mrs. Duke was taken to a
cell in the Tombs Prison. She appeared
to be very much distressed during her
brief stay in the courtroom and several
times seemed to be about to faint.
The proceedings which resulted in
Mrs. Dukes arrest are entirely distinct
from her matrimonial difficulties.
