current resolution ~ ssa shame upon

tended as q remedy for the present
conditions. The report was made
by Senator Grill. 1t finds that the
present system 'does not meet the
demands Of all enlightened convict
8, stem in accord with humane treat
ment Of prisoners" 1t says thai
the subies-ees are paying for the
convicts they employ under their
sub leases prices far in excess of the
Trice the original contractor leased
them at, prices ranging fiom $50 to
81 80 per year tor each convict.
The report carries with it . bill
providing that State convicts shall
be controlled by commission OF
three members whose duties and
powers shall be prescribed by law !:
that State penitentiary shall he es-
tablished at Mariana, where all ie-
males and youths shall be employed

further that the commission shall
establish State farms for the con-
victs.
The present system works all of
the convicts, regardless of sex or age,
under the lease system principally
in the phosphate mines and turpel,-
tine camps.
Horrible tales Of brutality or bad
treatment are frequently heard. In
Hillsboro County to-day a spe ial
committee appointed by the county
commissioners has been investigat-
ing charges of inhumanity made
against some of the lessees in that
county. This action results from
the story of James Miller, a white
convict, who alleges that he wa,
thrown to the ground, a negro Was
made to sit on his head, while four
others held his hands and feet, and
in that condition he was unmerciful-
ly whipped. He alleges that Susie
Brown, woman convict, was strip
ped and held upon the ground in
the same way whipped He alleges
a number Of other instances Of equal
or more revolving brutality.

seeking for each other.
Chicago, April A special to
the RecOrd-IIerald from NcwkIrk
Okla, say:
Mrs. Ella Seiglin and Mrs. Daugh-
son, living near this city, fought a
duel with revOlvers at twenty PAGES
to-day and Mrs. Seiglin L. now in a
hospital dangerously wounded. Two
of her opponents shots lodged In
her breast, but she is able to talk
aud Is anxious To recover that she.
may again fight Mrs. Daughson.
The duel grew out OF long
standing ieud between the women,
jealousy being the cause. Mrs.
Daughson lives on a farm just south
of the city, and Mrs. Seiglin has
frequently endeavOred to arouse the
temper OF her neighber by various
means, the most eficctual being the
claim that she Mrs. Seiglin) could
take Mr-. Daughson'5 husband away
from his wife any time she wished.
Mrs. DaughsOn finally appealed to
the courts, and y, ,sterday forenoon
Mrs. Seiglin was fined $500 for
trespassing upon the Daugh>on
property and melting trouble. AS
soon as she paid the fine Mrs.
Sc glin drove out to the Daughson
home, smartiug under the loss of
money and the criticism OF the
judge. Riding up to the door of
the DaughsOn house, she invited
her rival to come out and fight a
duel.
Mr.. Daughson promptly accepted
the challenge, and came out armed
with u revolver. The women then
faced each other at fifty feet and be-
gan shooting, the signal being given
by daughter of Mrs. Seiglin, who
had accOmpani, d her from town.
Each fired three shots without
effect. Then Mrs. Daughson got
the range and fired two shots in
quick succession, both striking Mrs
Seiglin in the breast. She fell and
MIS-. DaughsOn assisted in carrying
her into the house, where physic-
ian dressed her wounds, after which
she was conveyed To hospital.
Now the husbands Of the women
are seeking each other, vOwing tC
kill on sight.
The partisans of each woman are
also furnishing up their weapons
and seeking an excuse to sheet some.
body. During the trial the two
women attempted several times tC
fly at each other and fight it out
then and there, and the bellIgerenl
spirit permeated the entire court
room.
Mrs, Seiglin says her revolver re-
fused to- " aOrk after the first three
shots, and that she will make bet
ter record when next she faces Mrs
Daughson. The latter has not YET
been arrested, and grimly remark
that she has taken the precaution I,

and that she can be found at hom,
