Hungarian Fencer
Was in 10000 DueIs

Budapest. - Ten thousand duels,
fought, arranged or attended, was the
record that enabled Karl Fodor, fenc-
ing master, to die happy.
Fodor died recently after a ceiebra-
ton in honor of his ten thousandth
duel, which was in his fencing rooms.
For forty years Budapest duels
were held, as a rule, in his quarters.
He presided over the many political
sword quarrels Of Count Tisza. He
saw behind the scenes Of most of the
political differences and society scan
dals Of his time.
His most famous affair was the
duel of Count Etienne Keglevitch and
Deputy Karl Hence. 1t was to be q
deadly fight, but 1t ended before 1t
started. The count, very near-sighted,
ran against his adversary's sword be-
fore the signal for the start and was
killed.

Ring Songs Author Is
Believed Identified

Berlin.-Prof. Alloys Schrofl Of Muen-
ster in Westphalia claims to have dis.
covered the real author Of the 'Ni-
belungenlied," or cycle of "Ring songs"
Scientific researches covering many
years have convinced him that the
author Of this famous German lay
was Bishop Pilgrim of Passau, on the
Austro-Bavaria frontier, who lived
In the Tenth century.
The question of the authorship of
the Nibelungenlied has provoked live
ly and often acrimonious debate among
German savants for more than a cen
tury.

COCHISE co. TAX
Rate sc MORE
Than LAST YEAR

Cochise county tax rate was set at
n cents at the recent meeting of the
board of supervisors in Tombstone
The state tax rate will be .89 cents
together they total $166, a rate which
is five cents lower than the original
estimate.
Last year the county rate was
.62 cents, and the state rate was
figured at .67 cents. The total
amounted to $1.29.
The rate is 81 cents higher this
year owing to the fund to be expend-
ed, that of the emergency fund for
the bridge repair work and the school
increase. This left smaller fund at
the end of the fiscal year than for
merly and it was necessary to fix the
additional amount.
The board Of supervisors also visited
the Benson bridge and report that
the work is progressing rapidly. They
also motored along the Bankhead
highway from Apache to the Powder
plant.
The piling for the Benson bridge
is being driven and work should
progress rapidly from now on.
