WEST IMPORTS NEW STYLE OF CON WIELDING By H. O. Thompson (United press Staff Correspondent! Denver. Colo, Dec. 11 -TU.R)-This section of the West, < nee noted for its foi t bright method of settling disputes with pistols, is having its fit st experience with the modern practices </ ou-tern gunmen. The style of gun play which originated in the mining camps—and still pi evails to s- me degree— called for a face-to-face encounter. The honors , usually went to the man who firs* wiapped his index pinger about the trigger of his weapon. Sometimes the verdict was a bloodless one, with the victim of the draw shuffling off shamefacedly. But in many cases the contestants blazed away light heartily at each other, with fatal results. Now Denver has the screened automobile, the hidden gunmen, the ambush and the deadly machine gun. Ail of these acoutrements of modern killing were brought into play against Eddie Diamond. Eddie, a brother of Jack Diamond, involved in the Arnold Rothstein case in New York, is a fight promoter, according to his own description.' He was fired upon by three men from a moving car. Two gangsters were arrested and a police check up showed they bad criminal records in eastern cities under various aliases. Eddie Diamond cannot imagine, at least for publication, why anyone should want to kill him. He is a nervous harassed-looking individual. He gives the impression that he is in constant fear. Diamond is not lacking in bravery or whatever it is that sustains a man in a fight. When bullets rained aboiP him he ducked, reached for a gun and fired back. Probably, if he had lived a halt centu y ago, he would not have minded meeting his enemies in the open, shot for shot. But the modern machine-gun ambush, automatic rifles and such equipment have him worried. The modern type of gang warfare does not appeal to the west. The code of killers of the past seems always to have contained a concession that the victims should at least be allowed to see who was poking lead in their direction. Perhaps this was a bit of ego-1 tism founded in pride of marksmanship but the record of frontier duels and | impromptu shootings shows a strain of sportsmanship entirely lacking in the | gangster methods. o . . _ On the Hop •‘All the new dances are evolved bi ; male experts.

CHOEN Glad to be well again, rejoicing in I new and glorious health, and eager I that others be helped, Mrs. Sarah L. | Choen, 1731 Wright street, Logansport, declares, in endorsing Konjola, the new medicine: ‘Never in my life have I endorsed a medicine, but I must write of my I wonderful experience with Konjola. I After years of suffering and worry I over finding nothing to help me, I found health again in just 2 bottles of I this masterful medicine. Weak and run down from stomach trouble, I was easy prey for neuritis. This awful affliction sent shrrp pains thru my body. I got little sleep, and was almost deperate, when i fortunately made up my mind forgive Konjola a trial. Relief came alnfost instantly. From the very first dose I could feel this medicine at work on my ailing organs. My digestion was restored, poisons were eliminated, and then the neuritis faded away. I am gaining in weight and strength, and in every way feeling like a new woman. Oh, that all who suffer the torments that I did could kndw of Konjola, so that it could do for them the wonders it did in my stubborn case.” Konjola is sold in Decatur, Ind., at Smith, Yager and Falk’s drug store and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section
