Hard ball-the red. A coin was tossed
to see who should throw first. The win
ner hurled the ball with such force
that it struck his opponents temple
and killed him.
Another queer duel was settled with
the aid Of two pills. one poisoned and
the other harmless. They were put IN
box. shaken up. and picked out By
the @duelists." ~
In 1905 lots were drawn By two men
az to which Of them should commit
suicide. One Of the participants was
physically incapable Of fighting an or
binary duel, 10 this unique substitute
was decided on. The loser. who was
engaged, at once welded his sweet
