\ Fight to tue Death. From Behind
 Trees.
 Houston. Texas. June S-One of the most desperate and long -drawn-out duels ever fought on Harris county soil took place near Deepwater. Two men pumped lead at one another for a period of fully thirty minutes, and when the battle was at an end one lay dying pierced by three bullets. The other haStened to the city and gave himself up. The survivor is & l.. Phillips. SiX-fOOter. His victim was a Mexican. John Bull. heavy-Set and brawny. about 10 years of age. X woman was the cause of the tragedy. Phillips told his story this afternoon. He said:
 ''The Mexican. as soon as he saw me. dropped the saw he had. ran be hind stump. picked up q siX-shoOter and began firing at me. 1 stepped be hind a tree and opened up with my Winchester. We had it lively for fully thirty minutes. After emptying my gun. I quickly reloaded. I had not secured a fair shot. as he kept well hidden. only peeping around occas- fonally to fire at me. 1 ran from be hind the tree to another. fifty feet away. thinking could get a better opening. The bullets whiStled about me as I went. l forced Bull to leave the stump and he dashed for a tree, think I hit him as he was going. From our new positions we pecked at one another at every opportunity. At length I dashed for another tree, in order to force Bull to run again. He did not do it at once. and we con t:nuad the bOmbarding. I reloaded my gun about four times and must have shot al least thirty-fve times. He did not fire as often as I did. but he cmptied his siX-shoOter several times Directly, I ran from my shelter again and secured good position behind q tree. Then he ran from his place and 1 fired several times while he was go- ing. He reached the tree and fell. Then I was sure l had killed him. and 1 walked close to him 10 see if he was dead. There was blood on his face and on his hands and blood was oozing from q hole in his shirt front. knew he was fixed and 1 went away" "
