SON OF FIRST
SIAMESE TWIN
IS NEAR DEATH
Father and Uncle Fea-
tured As Attraction
In Barnum Shows
__By NEA Service
MEDICINE LODGE. Kan July
■0.—-Patrick H. Bunker 81-year-old
•on of one of P. T. Barnum s fam-
ous original Siamese twins ing and
Chang want* to see hi* children.
v ®U"ker'Jnin*:e ot the county
home at Medicine Lodge t* grow-
■**. feeble. Somewhere In the
United Stairs he hope* hi* six chil-
dren may aUU be living. Thl* man
• life story stranger than any
xtction has only one remaining am.
bUion and that 1* to see them once
more.
Bankers father and his uncle
came from Siam to America in
1830. They were Joined together by
a membranous band extending from
the breastbone of one to that of
the other. It was ing and Chang
who were responsible for the coin-
ing of the phrase "Siamese twins- j
to mean children phyitcaliy at-
tached to each other regardless of
what race. Barnum. the famous
snowman exhibited them through- j
out the United States and Europe
Ing was Bunker s father.
"My father and his brother never
quarrelled" Bunker Is careful to
explain. “I/jts of people have said
to me they've heard Dad and Uncle
Chang used to fight. It Isn't true."
How He Got Ills Name
The aged man i* asked frequently i
to tell why the son of a native of
Siam should have the surname
"Bunker" and be called Patrick.
“It was like this" he says. “As
•oon as my father and uncle ar-
rived in New York they were put
on exhibition. It became necessary
for them to be naturalized. They
wont to the government office and
gave their names as Ing and Chang
the only names they'd ever had.
Someone told them they must have
a surname a man named Fred
Bunker was standing near and he
suggested they take his name. That
was how my father be same Ing
Bunker and my uncle became
Chang Bunker."
The twins were born about 80
tnlleg from Bangkok. Slam In 1811.
When they were 18 an American
•hip captain saw them bathing In
a river. Realizing what a curiosity
they would be to the American
public he arranged to bring them
to New York. Barnum made them
the featured attraction of his show
and gave them widespread pub-
licity.
Twin* Wed Slater*
Bunker remembers accompanying
Tils father on several of these
tours. Despite their huge income*
from these trips the twins' money
disappeared rapidly. At the heigh;
of their wealth the twins married
Bailie and Adelaide Yates of Dutch
and Irish descent.
“Bailie was my mother" Bunker
•ays. “and she was a handsome
woman and a fine Christian. She
had a wonderfully good disposition j
Father and his brother were mar-
ried on the same day in a double
ceremony. They each had farms
not over half a mile apart. They
would stay at our house three days
and nights and then go to my
uncle's house for three days and
nights. Father had 11 children and
Unde Chang had 10."
Chang and Ing were bom face
to face but after they learned to
walk they found It easier to get
•round side by side so they were
almost always in that position.
They could chop wood according
to Bunker. “Father was on the
tight side and Chang on the left"
he says "so father would grasp the
ax handle with his right hand and
Uncle Chang would take holcf with
his left. As he was left-handed any-
way that gave them a strong grip j
At the table they would help each
other cut the food but each would
feed himself."
Temperaments Differed
Despite their physical union the
Iwms had different temperaments.
Bunkers father for instance was
fond of playing poker. Chang never
could be persuaded to Join the
game but he was obliged to sit bv
until late hours at night while Ing
enjoyed himself.
On a return trip from Europe in
1874 Ing awoke one morning and
found Chang dead by his side. Half
»u hour later Ing also was dead.
Surgeons found that the two men
had a large artery in common and
declared the oft-proposed operation
to separate them would have
proved fatal.
Bunker's descent to the aim-
house is a brief story. He and a
brother. James Monroe Bunker
went west and bought farms in
Sumner county. Kansas James
died there several years ago Pat-
rick married and he and his wife
had three sons and three daugh-
ters.
Divorced By Wife
"One day my wife told me sn*
wanted a divorce" Bunker sa>*
“She asked for the custody of th»
children too. 1 said 'Molly you
don't want to do that.* but she in-
sisted on it.
"No man ever made anything
lavrtag with bts wile so I deeded
her the farm and everything on it. i
After a while she married again■
and I reckon she set the children
against me. Anyhow they don t
come to see me. I knew where
some ot them were for a while but
now I’ve lost track."
A few years ago. after doing odd
jobs around Medicine Lodge for a
living. Bunker walked into the
room In which the county commis-
sioners were meeting and surprised
them bv laying $100 before them
and saying. "I don’t believe I have
long to live. There's my savings.
I wish you’d take it and give me a
home for my remaining years."
The commissioners refused to
take the money but did give the
former farmer a home. He has
lived there ever since.
Ordinary corncobs treated with
adds and put through simple con-
verting processes have been found
to make an effective electrical in-
sulator

BRIDGE CLASH
PARLEY FAILS
_____
AUSTIN. July 20—{/F>—A major-
ity of the Texas highway commis- i
sion continued to discuss the Red
river bridge situation today after
an effort last night to reach an
agreement with the Denison toll
bridge company had been unavail-
ing.
W R. Ely. chairman of the com-
ml&aon. had returned home but
Cone Johnson and D. K. Martin
mere still here. They expressed the
hope a settlement would be made
whereby a parallel free bridge be-
tween Texas and Okla.. could be
opened but nothing tangible had
been done.
A federal court injunction had
been issued preventing the open-
ing of the free br:dge pending ful-
fillment of a contract between the
highway commission and the toll
bridge company. The parties were
at odds on the amount involved in
the contract.
Conferees revealed the bridge
company had agreed last night to
accept 1117.500 whereas they had
been holding out for $150000. The
highway department claimed the
proper amount was only $80000.
James V. Allred attorney general
said the contract was invalid and
the highway department therefore
owed the toll bridge company noth-
ing. __

AVERAGE WIFE
GREAT WALKER

vention of chi^ppody society of
Texas.
Dr. Fred Lobb of Dallas presi-
dent. presided. George V. Vosberg
of Austin led the morning discus-
sion.
There is such a thing as proper
alignment in walking Just as there
is proper alignment of wheels on
automobiles. Austin declared. For
instance the person who walks pig-
eon-toed makes six steps to five
for the person who walks with his
feet straight ahead instead of at
an angle. The average person walks
pigeon-toed. Austin declared.
