All railroad affairs are advancing steadi-

dirt cars and rail-laden stats" carried over
the rails daily between the wharf and the
middle OF Bran's Point. At the latter the
cut (several feet deep indicates the depth
to which the soil from the entire outer por-
ton of the point, is to be removed, to pre-
pare the space for necessary side tracks.
The workmen are plOughing, shOveling and
leveling the road bed from said point to the
mill pond on the Cape side, while on the
opposite side Of the pond another crew is
party is reducing pasture land to the re-
quired track level, cutting down and build
ing up as the engineers Order-tOward the
''Y'' location in the PannO field. The per-
manent track will cross the mill pond OBJ
liquely, running over the end, apparently,
of the present mill bridge on the Cape side.
Here the street will have to be raised six
feet, it is said, to run over the railroad.

They nrea seven or eight shots from their guns peiofe either of them fell and when they olu go down both of them were dead.
 lnere were terrible excitement. It were done so quick that there want no chance Tor anyone. but LeCouer to inter lefe II anybody had really wanted to. Alter 1t was all over we was just driving into the Ruby Cross trail and few of the citizens dropped in on us at the stage To View the remains. The only man who was not q bit excited was LeCouer. He had sit still through all the fracas, look Ing ons but not making q move, and when 1t was all over he up and said in his wom- manish soft manner:
 Well, that seems to break up this game O poker completely. If yo' gentle men care to accept my offer will yo' do me the courtesy to line up at the bar aerost the street and have one on me-
 The gentlemen lined up.
 But there were one thing l noticed. said old Bill Graves, with tactful smile, that when LeCouer got up from the make-shift table in the stage therewa mt no money whatever laying around losse There had been a good deal while the play went on, but no un ever knowed what become of it. l had my ideas. but ain't ever said nothing aoout em.
 And there was another thing that this fracas with the shootin' irons learned me: When gamblers got into such games with no sucker holding a hand. they d aYways agree amongst themselves that they d play a fair straight game. The brag useter be that when gambler gave his word to play square he did it. I ain't never took no stock in that said the veteran stage driver in conclusion. "Ot course they was always mign1y careful like. for it were a case O shoot quick if one of them got catched cheating But don't reckon there were one of them that would not have taken any advantage he could in the play no matter what he said % the contrary notwithstanding afore the game started"

best people of society. His suavity, his gentle manner and his persuasive conver- sations deceived prominent men in every city where he operated. and his attractive personality won him many friends. In his prime he was tall and handsome, and his gentlemanly appearance aided his criminal success.
 However, in his criminal haunts his other personality was shown. There he was noisy. savage and almost complete contrast to his better self. His large. muscular build enabled him to give a good account of himself in fist or a pistol fight and he never hesitated to resort to violence when his safety or the success of his schemes required. 1t. This earned for him the sobriquet, of Red Leary'' O Brien as his methods were said to resemble those of that distinguished crook. Like most criminals. o'Brien hated legitimate work, and there is no record of his doing one days honest labor.

HAD. MANY ADVENTURES

Several days ago there was printed in some newspapers in this e2uatey q shoIt dispatch announcing tue death of Thomas ica To the casual newspa aper reoGer this item of news was of small importance but police officials and careful students of criminal affairs, who can reaa between the lines, found in it's short lns sage long, interesting story of crim.l1l life. It marks the passing of one of the most famous crooks of the last century, Tom, or, as he is better known by his descrip- tive alias, "Bunco' O'Bren.
 During the last nine years he has been confined in the French penal colony for murdering his pal, Reed Waddell. The immediate cause of their quarrel was refusal by Waddel to give 0'Brien the money he demanded. Previous to the last fight they had many disagreements about money matters, but they were always reconeiled by mutual friends. Finally Waddell became weary of the exhorbi- tant demands that O'Brien made, and he warned the latter that he would not give nm any more llndHcldl dSSisldiiSS5 hN matter how necessary it might be- O'Brien paid no attention to the warn ing whatever, but, when he found him self in financial straits in Paris in 1894 he sent to Waddell for aid. The latter refused and OBrien became so enraged that he openly threatened to shoot Wad- dell on sight. The latter went to Paris from America to straighten the matter out, but when he dismounted from the train at the Care Du Nord Paris, O Brien carried out his threat by shooting Wad- dell three times. The wounded man was taken to the hospital, where he died several days later However, before his demise O'Brien was brought to his bed side for Identification, but Waddell re- fused to say a word against his former pal. However, O'Brien was convicted in 1895 and sentenced to life imprison- ment He was saved from the guillotine by the money and influence of his New York friends.
