REV. DORNFY. WELL
KNOWN PEIEST, DIES

Chicago, March 1.-THE Rev Mall
rice J. Dorney. a Chicago Catholic
priest, whose name is familiar on both
sides of the Atlantic, died Sunday at
Mercy hospital, where his sister is one
of the nuns in charge. Death was due
to paralysis, following heart trouble
which attacked him few weeks ago.
Archbishop Quigley was present at the
bedside shortly before Father Dorney
became unconscious.
The stock yards priest, Father j.
Dorney, "the king of the stock yards,
was one of the strongest and most pic
turesque characters in the west. Coun
selor, protector, friend to thousands,
he had the power for thirty-five years
of the ruler of principally in one
of the greatest industrial centers IN
the world-the packing house district
of Chicago. His prestige extended to
the White house in Washington and
on memorable occasion he earned
the gratitude of Celts everywhere as
a trusted envoy from Irish leaders on
this side of the Atlantic to Charles
Stewart Parnell in London.
