Two Tough Texans Kill Each Other As They Shoot It Out in Gun Duel MINEOLA, Tex.—(P)—Two tough Texans settled a mysterious feud in frontier fashion with blazing guns that left both dead. Standing 10 feet apart in a hotel cafe early yesterday they shot it out before just one witness—a wide-eyed waitress. The gunfighters were Rufus Browning, 55, a cattle dealer, and Joe Henderson, 45, a railroad conductor. The dying Browning crawled to already dead Henderson and with his last strength "cut up" the conductor with a long-bladed knife. Justice of the Peace Dick Pendleton called it double homicide in an inquest verdict. Police Chief Bill Knippol said the men had been enemies for some time, but he didn't know why. "I warn't scared," said Mrs. Kate Womack, the waitress. "I didn't duck behind no counter." She wouldn't talk further to reporters. "You talk to the law," she said. "I gave my report to the law." This was the story she told Knippol: Browning came into the cafe for a cup of coffee. A few minutes later Henderson entered. "Keep your hands right where they're at," said Henderson. "I'm going to kill you." Cypress to Hold Cancer Fund Show A Cancer Fund benefit show will be presented Mar. 2 at 8 p.m. in Cypress school auditorium by the Women's Auxiliary of Cypress VFW Post 9847. Two hours of musical and dancing acts will be presented by Cypress and Buena Park students of the Richards Martin school of Dancing, Anaheim, and the Los Angeles National Institute of Music and Art. Mrs. Frances DeMiris, the auxiliary's Cancer Relief Fund chairman, is in charge of production of the show. Tickets for the show are being sold by members of the auxiliary and are available at the Richards-Martin studio. Approximately 450 seats will be available. No Service Tonight At Packing House She wouldn't talk further to reporters. "You talk to the law," she said. "I gave my report to the law." This was the story she told Knippol: Browning came into the cafe for a cup of coffee. A few minutes later Henderson entered. "Keep your hands right where they're at," said Henderson. "I'm going to kill you." "I'm just going to drink my coffee." Browning said. While he drank, Henderson cursed him. Browning drained his cup and backed toward the door. Henderson drew a 9-mm. German pistol and started shooting. Browning whipped out a .38 caliber revolver and fired back. Browning was hit in the heart. Henderson was hit in the heart and stomach. After both fell to the floor, Browning drew his knife, opened it, crawled to Henderson and slashed the dead conductor. Knippol said he found Henderson doubled up on his hands and knees, dead. Browning was lying on his side next to Henderson. Knippol said Browning "asked me to turn him off his side. I told him, 'Rufus, the stiller you lie the better off you'll be.'" "He asked me if a doctor was coming." "'He's on his way now,' I said. "Then he squeezed my hand and said 'goodbye, Bill,' and he died, too." RIDING CLUB RIDES Associated Riding clubs of Orange county will hit the trail again March 4 for another ride, this time along the old Harding truck trail which extends up the side of Saddle Back peak. The ride will start at 8:30 a.m. at the beginning of the trail in Modfeska canyon were the horse trailers will be parked. Riders will carry a saddle-bag lunch. Don't Go Through Life...

Not Sick Enough To Stop Working; Not Well Enough To Work Well Many people go through life not sick enough to stop working, but not well enough to work well. Some folks do something about it, others just talk about it. Mrs. J. H. Digby, Cedar Glades Rt., Hot Springs, Ark., could offer a word of advice to those folks who postpone doing some thing to help themselves. Her advice would be ... take HADACOL, for Mrs. Digby found that by taking HADACOL, she was giving her system Vitamins B1, B2, Niacin and Iron which it lacked. And taking HADACOL helped her overcome those deficiency - caused ailments; she keeps right on taking it now that she is feeling good, to keep those troubles away. Here is what Mrs. Digby says: "I am 51 years old and I have suffered from stomach distress for some time with bloating and gas. I was weak and nervous, and I couldn't sleep at night. I read in the paper about HADACOL. I started taking it and I have taken five large bottles. It helped me from the start and now I feel fine. I wish everybody that had stomach distress would try HADACOL. I can truthfully say it is fine." Copyright: 1951 The LeBlanc Corporation (Adv.)

PART TIME TAX EXPERTS Each year during the income tax filing season there appears all over the country the part time "Tax Expert." Usually these individuals follow lines of endeavor during the rest of the year which have no remote connection with either tax recording or accounting. Usually armed with a dollar tax book and with little or no more knowledge of the complex tax structure than the persons whom they serve, they offer bargain prices and "big refunds." Having no regular place of business, they escape the normal overhead of the established professional man who maintains an office for the convenience of his clients. When the Bureau reviews the return, they are gone and the taxpayer must face his problems with the Bureau of Internal Revenue alone. For your protection against the possibility of unqualified persons preparing your income tax returns, look for the State of California Board of Accountancy Permit, or check by mail or phone with the State of California Board of Accountancy, 145 South Spring Street, Los Angeles 12, California, telephone MAdison 6-1515.
