OKLAHOMA WOMEN FlGnT
DUEL WITH REvoLVERs

NEWKIRK. Okla, April 4-Mrs. Ella
Seiglin and Mrs. Daughson, living near
this city, fought a duel with revolve
at twenty PAGES yesterday, and Mrs.
Seiglin is now in a hospital dangerously,
but not necessarily fatally, wounded.
Two of her opponents shots lodged in
her breast, but she is able to talk volubly
and is anxious to recover that she may
egain fight Mrs. Daughson. The duel
grew out of long-standing fued between
the women, jealousy being the original
cause. Mrs. Daughson lives on a farm
just south Of the city and Mrs. Seiglln
has frequently endeavored to arouse the
temper of her neighbor by various means,
the most effectual being the claim that
she (Nrs. Seiglin) could take Mrs
IDaughson's husband away from his wife
any time she wished Mrs. Daughson
finally appealed to the courts, and yes
terday forenoon Mrs Seglin was fined
$500 for trespassing upon the Daughson
property and inciting trouble. AS soon
as she paid the fine, Mrs. Seiglin drove
out to the Daughson home, smarting
under the loss Of money and the criticism
of the trial judge. Riding up to the door
of the Daughson house, she invited her
