DUEL WITH R0CKING-CHAIRS.
Mrs. sarvls Fight with Frenziod Som

Mrs. Sarvis' Fight with a Frenzied Som
in-Law.
Driven into a temporary frenzy, if not
into settled insanity, by his wife's refusal
to stay at home and refrain from accom-
panying her cousin, William Curran, to the
opera house, Anthony Podraza, young
Polish citizen OF this place, fought a bloody
duel with Mrs. Peter Sarvis, bis mOther-in-
law, in whose home she lives. Rocking
chairs were the weapons intended to deal
death TO one duelist or the other.
The door had hardly closed upon dis0be-
dent Mrs. Podraza and her cousin when
POdraZa began TO be moody ana ugly. He
sat smoking in the kitchen. Mrs. Sarvis
was in the dning-room singing PodTaZa's
two little children to sleep
Finally, without any renewed occasion OF
anger, r. drsza spTang into the dining-roOm
and wildly screamed, " / klla YOU I"
The mother-n-law started for the door.
1t was locked. She saw she must fight for
ner life. Barring her arms she grasped and
raised rOcking-chaT. So did POdraZa.
The frenzied man rushed forward only to
have the point IF one of the mothers rock
ers driven with crushing force into his face
Like an Infatuated tiger Podraza recov-
cred and whiTled one of his sharp rocker
points down on Mrs. SarVis' head, gashing
her scalp terribly. With wise strategy she
fell and lay still. Recovering soon, and
