Garritys Were Fighting Men.
Then there were the Garrity broth
ers, John, Hugh and Mike. They were
an especially cough trio and known as
fighting men. They were guilty of nu-
merous assaults, some of them of the
most serious character. 1t was John
Garrity who bit an ear off of Alderman
James Peavey, who was also a gamb-
Ter. The men had engaged in fight
and in the absence of more deadly
weapons Garrity used his teeth on the
part of. the alderman's anatomy that
was most convenient. Hugh and Mike
Garrity are dead, having fallen into
poverty and the same i'll fortune that
pursued most of their fellows. On one
occasion, also, the Garrity brothers,
in the course of a gamblers feud with
John Bowling, who ran rival estab-
lishment proceeded to beat Bowling
up in frightful fashion. Bowling was
one of the characters of the old Clark
street that was at once one of the
best and one of the worst He was
brutal and often beat men with the
butt of the big revolver he carried, for
no stronger apparent reason than a de-
sire to see them fall. At the same
time he was generous to the unfor.
tunate, and as a result had many of
the most bitter enemies and a great
many staunch friends. Bowling lost
his money after Clark street was
closed to the big gamblers and died of
paresis five years ago.
One of the picturesque characters of
the street was James Watson, alias
Sir James, alias the Big Englishman.
His finish came quicker than that of
many of his associates, for he was
stabbed by George Russell, alias
White Pine bunko man. Russell &C.
quired his alias from the fact that he
came to Chicago from White Pine
New. He was a fighting man of the
western type, but was acquitted in his
trial for the stabbing of Sir James.

ing the reign ct Mcdonald wsi the
Mecca Of many crooks, gamblers, con-
fidence men. bad" men and other
classes Of disreputables, but no figure
ever appeared in the street who, by
force of his all-around wickedness,
commanded the attention that Jere
Dunn got. Evea Dunn's friends did
not claim for him any degree of NOR
ais. Some of them say that he was
square" with his partners in crime,
but his history disproves even that
contention. One of the men who knew
him best says that Dunn never knew
what physical fear was. If this was
true it is about all the good that can
be said of him, even after his death.
Dunn died in New Jersey last year
of malignant cancer. Wherever he
went he made criminal history and
some of it is worth re-telling in any
narrative of the Clark street crowd.
This notorious character made hic
appearance in Clark street in the early
sos. The vicious atmosphere of the
street was incense in the nostrils of
Dunn. In 1888 he got into fight with
Jimmy" Hoey, a thief and gambler,
and shot him in the groin. Hoey re-
fused to appear against Dunn when the
case came up for trial.

Pattern No. 5519.-No style of gar
ment is more becoming to the little
girl than the one piece dress, and for
that reason it is always popular. The
one shown closes over dainty white
guimpe. The dress closes in the front,
the closing being concealed under a
pleat. The square neck and edges of
the short slashed sleeve are finished
by narrow band of Persian trim
ming. Serge, mohair, linen and pique
are all adaptable to the mode. The
guimpe can be made of batisto. linen,
China silk, or pongee. The medium
size will require three yards of S6-
inch material for the dress and one
and one-eighth yards for the guimpe.

Reign of the Bunko Men.
Clark street became as infamous for
the bunkO game in the days of the Nc.
Donald crowd as for gambling. The
bunko steerers were gamblers, and the
gamblers, or many of them, were bun
liO steerers. Harry Lawrence was one
of the best known of the bunEo men.
Before Mcdonald became known as
the gambler king of the city he was
strongly interested in the bunko game.
In brief, the bunko game was oper-
ated in this way: The steerers, we'll
dressed and suave, sought their prey
in the hotels principally. Steerer No.
l accosted the stranger, called him by
any name that happened to occur to

WATERsON DEPLORES BRYAN'S
AMBITION FOR PRESIDENCY

Boone. Iowa, Nov. 15.-Henry Wat
erson when asked today by the Asso-
ciated Press for his opinion on Wilt
am J. Bryan's tentative acceptance OF
the democratic presidential nOmina-
tion declared that he had labored with
Bryan 70 decline the nomination and
quit the dog In the manger" atti-
tude. Colonel Waterson realized
Bryan had il in his power to demand
the leadership of the democratic party
in 1908 or defeat any other candidate
by knitting him as he did Parker" 4"
Bryan's acceptance was no more than
he had expected however greatly he
regretted the action, because he
thought Bryan could no longer create
enthusiasm as he had been before the
people too many times. Asked as to
the assertion often made that the next
president would be Roosevelt or
Bryan, Col. Waterson said that the
nomination of Roosevelt was all the
Bryan supporters wanted because
they could then go to the people on
the third term slogan. Bryan could
carry New England in such a cam
paign, he thought. Roosevelt would
Mexicanize this government, holding
himself as greater than Washington.
As for himself. much as he disliked to
do so, he would vote for Bryan against
Roosevelt in such a dilemma. He be-
lieved. however. that Roosevelt would
decline another nomination as he had
nothing to gain and the republican
party had many men OF presidential
calibre He mentioned especially
Taft, Hughes and Crane of Massachu-
setts. He said the latter would make
a strong man on the argument that
New England had not had a president

The Commoner's editorial an
