 45 Colt and sawed-off shotgun were the force behind the law
 Like most of Arizonas pioneers Mr. Coyle was q quiet man, little giv, en to idle talk. A shrewd judge of character. he was quickly to note any thing in q mans makeup that was not on the square He despised un. derhand or crooked dealing and would have none Of those who prac. ticed it

FOR SEPARATION BY
VVAC|OUS SPOUSE
Long impending Marital Tangle
Finally Finds Way to
Court.

Er<E0GRNeeeop-

PHILADELPHIA, June 1s-Tbe
long-impending severance OF martial
ties by Mrs. Cordelia Biddie Duke,
wife OF Angler Buchanan Duke, took
definite form yesterday.
/. The young millionaire will not con-
test the suit for divorce filed for Mrs.
Duke in Phiiadelphis on Thursday
That 100000 year alimony has been
mentioned as a probable settlement
also emsnated from certain sources.
Mrs. Duke, the vivacious daughter
of Major Anthony ]. Drexel Biddle,
millionaire sportsman and society man
OF Philadelphia and New York. and
Mrs Biddle. separated from her hus
band in December, 1918. Shortly be-
fore that turn in their married life,
and until the iling of the suit, social
gossips seemed to be thoroughly
aware that the divorce proceedings
were merely awaiting court formal
tiles.
Duke last night refused absolutely
to discuss the case in any phase. He
would not deny or affirm the report
that he was now defendant in a di-
vorce action.
Certain friends, among them those
who attended the brilliant wedding In
Holy Trinity Church. Philadelphia, in
1918. expressed little surprise at the
beginning Of the action.
IL was cited as a fact that the
Dukes had been living apart: that
only veiled denisls of their infeliicity
had been uttered and that she had
been chahne under the delsv
