OLD MAN KILLS FRIEND;
CALLED HIM A HAS BEEN

Philadelphia, Sept. 6.-Taunted by an
acquaintance, who told him that he was
too old to fight as he had done years ago,
when he was cock of the walk" Joseph
Brown. SO years old, a sturdy old civil war
pensioner, gave battle to his 3o-year-oId
torinenter. His opponent died from ths
effect of a terrible right-hand punch ia
the jaw.
For a long time the old man had been
acquainted with Thomas Dalton, OF 1104
Vine street, the victim, but when Brown,
warming up, would tell Of his physical
triumphs in the past and of how he had
never been whipped in a rough-and-tum-
BILE fight, Dalton would taunt him with
being a ..'down-and-out, whom any
schoolboy could whip now.
A dozen times Brown threatened to
trounce his acquaintance for talk of that
sort. But the other. who had meant his
taunts only in fun. always avoided the
encounter.
They met late at night at Eighth and
Wood streets and again took up their
wrangle over Browns pugilistic ability.
Both had been drinking a little, and theiE
mock quarrel ended in a real one.

there is not the slightest clew to their
identity or as to the number of men
