Dallas, Tex., Jan. 13.—Charles K.
Wolf, known as the double of Wil-
liam J. Bryan, died of heart disease
at his home in this city yesterday.
He was sick less than ten minutes.
Wolf's physical, facial ami vocal re
semblance of Bryan was so remark*
able that he frequently was mistaken
for the Nebraska statesman and of
ten made catchy short speeches that
added to this deception.
He prac
ticed this to a notable extent at the
national meeting of Elks in Phila

in which lay the victims of Monday
night's theatre horror, the inhabi
tants of this borough began to real

neighboring villages. Four buildings
used as morgues contain 162 bod
ies. Most of the bodies are In such
a condition that few of them can be
recognized by their features. Fully
forty teams are unclaimed at the sta
