he took a Job too.. His work was

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

.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

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

blood stains seemed to ' indicate
that it had lain there. A further

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. - : :

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.
A few weeks ago I wrote rath
er enthusiastically of a little
brown fightef. Pete Sarmtento, I
had Just, seett hlm'jdal the cle
ver, cunning .little ringj general,
Carl Trezoalne ' ifor j. 12 rounds
when the betting was 10 to 1 that
Tremaine would, drop him in the
first couple 6 rounds. .
1 Safmiente's. ability to block
punches, shake 'em off and other
wise -render theni null and- void,
appealed to me. 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.
Having -captured ' the ' Paclc
coast championship as usual, little
Bill .Johnston and Miss Helen
Wills are now ready to do their
stuff in the eastern tennis tourna

western meet gave the aforesaid
easterners little cause for Joy.
Miss Wills may sua .be said to

good reasons fer so thinking. His
