I Several times, ' the iwo met In the hotel and almost Invariably they came to blows and had to be separated. ,.? VK; t:. About ten days ago, Harty Rid dle, an acquaintance of both men, brought Truden back "from 'Mexi- eali, Mexico, drunk. la his qups. Truden told Riddle, the Wtter says, hat f fneobject of .iny life, for the past si years, is about to be satisfied. It probably, will mean .my death, but, It, also will mean somebody else's death.' The following day, Riddle said, Truden came to him and asked him not : to repeat "what Truden had told, "no, matter, what ban- pens to me or. any ot-yottr oxher friends." ; ; This morning, Truden's body was found propped against a rock near the Jacumba bathing pool. There was a bullet wound, in the hip'sad a bullet hole in the tem- In the pocket of the coat' were two letters. One, addressed to Vincent Truden of FOfest Hills, Mich., was a brief ;notfce of John Truden's death. The other mis sive was addressed to the chief of police of 'Imperial, Cal. It told a i strange story as follows Truden . and Kirk had been enemies for fix years (no reason ior mis enmity was given). Last Saturday morning, they met on th highway between Braw- ley and Imperial - and came to Diqws. Ranch hands separated them. Then they. went to a quiet gully off the main road and there , came to an agreement to fight a - duel with pistols, both pledging i their word thajk the survivor would I commit suicide within three days. , ; They ' were: to Btand back ' to (back, match 1- paceway f rom .each othe,, count three lond and then begin firing. .,,r Truden's letter said that Kirk. when It camei to the crucial mo ment, "cheated" and fired at the count of two, j wounding the other a the hip. ' Truden thea fired . and missed. "Kirk fired again and also missed. Trudea fired a second time and killed Kirk. r... r-Wiyy;... Traden said that Kirk fired only two shots,, but there were , three exploded shells in the "pistol clutched in Kirk's hand when his body was found today. v After Kirk died Truden said In a short memorandum Included In his letter, he dragged the body out ofithe sun, he drew a rude map . to guide searchers - to the spot. Then he went, up- into the hills early this morning. His letter con- V tludes with a grim jest. : ; After explaining that he had . agreed to take his own life If he arrived the duel, he continued: I will da this a soon as I. leave , the valley. It Is so hoi that would rather leave thlb file for a future In a cooler .place, even though I am beaded tor a much hotter one, aecordlng to William Jennings Bryan." ' j Truden's body; was found up right . against a large stone, a pullet hole In the temple.! ,. Kirk's body could not be found kt'the designated spot, although h disturbed pile of leave - and blood stains seemed to ' indicate that it had lain there. A further feareh , revealed It ' not far away, J bullet hole in the abdomen and hrough the backbone, the pistol with three exploded shells In the man's dead hand. . - ,r - . Before the news of the affair had become public property - a stranger entered the office of the coroner and asked to nee Kirk's body. The coroner asked him how he knew that Kirk was dead. "Never mind." said the strang er, as he started for the door.. He was arrested ahd lodged in jail, but he refuses to give his name' or reply to any questions. - : : SPORTS D0UE:BROWN GAS STATION' REMAINS COUNCIL REFUSES TO RESCIND EARLIER ACTION ;A petition! asking that the city eOuncU xesclSarttlctlon In voting to allow the building of a filling station, on the corner of Court and Capitol, presented by the proper ty,- holders adjacent r to the ; pro posed filling station, failed to have the desired "effect upon the, mem bers of the council last night and the aldermen- refused to reconsid er former .action :'rVvJ ;: .' y E. M. Page attorney for the property holders, stated that i his clients asked only a fair chance to present their case and claimed that they had-not had that chance at the meeting at which the coun cil, had voted to permit the erec tion of the station., , ; 1! . Mr. Page further stated that if stipulations of the; petition of f ered were not - granted by the council the case would be taken to the courts and tried on the question of whether or not the station would be a public nuisance.

Not only, that, but he had a boring-in style that was pleasing. 1 ' The oter night he met Charley Phil Rosenberg, newly crowned bantam-weight champion of the world. .And stocky little- Pete bore out .my expectations when he gave the so-called champion a box. Ing lesson for 12 rounds. , He made Rosenberg look . like the cheesiest of champions outboxed ! and 'y Out-gamed him throughout ihe mill. V 7 '"r .- . , He proved two things conclu sively in that battle. v First, that he is really a great little fighter. . Second that Rosenberg .is no better than, the average run of fairly clever bantams and. has lit tle license to" carry the title once sported by men like George Dixon and Johnny Coulon-.. Sarmiento today has more Idea of defense'fighting than 99 out of 100 fighters. He takes punches on i his shoulders, arms ana tne side of his head with no damage to himself.! He takes them while going In and keeps on going in He worries .his opponent from gong to gong by his failure to step out of range or clinch to avoid punishment and then com ing out of a sally unscatched. If he has the desire and the will power to refrain from, flirting with the -white man's evils" and keep himself in perfect physical condition this lad from the Phil ippines will land some place in the fistic sun.
