SMIRNOFF BADLY WOUNDED Fights Duel With General Fock at St. Petersburg. St. Petersburg, March 19.—Lieuten- ant General Smirnoff was probably fa- tally wounded in a duel fought here with Lieutenant General- Fock. The men met in the riding school of the Chevalier guard regiment and fought with pistols, standing close to each other when the shots were exchanged. The duel was caused by the mem- orandum written by General Smirnoff on the siege of Port Arthur, in which he questioned the courage of General Fock. The latter considered that his honor and reputation were involved and challenged the author of the memorandum. The riding school was placed at the disposition of the combatants by the commander of the regiment and the duel occurred with the full knowledge and approbation of the military au- thorities. It was witnessed by several officers of high rank and it is even reported that several women were present. General Smirnoff was acting com- mandant of the Port Arthur fortress during the siege and at the time of its surrender to the Japanese. After his return to Russia he prepared a secret report of the defense of Port Arthur, which was the basis of the judict- Lumber and Building Material We carry in stock at all times a complete line of Lumber and Building Material, Dimensions, ete.
