WOMEN FOUGHT DUEL.
Assailed Each Other With Fists and
 With Nails and Bad Words

New Haven, Oct 1.--OYer an iceman who has no legs, and who lives in St John street, two Italian women had a duel yesterday morning. Out of love for him they blacked each others eyes, pulled out each others hair, scratched each others faces, pinched each oth- CTS arms, called each other bad names in Italian and had 9 general knock-down and drag-out fight with an interested crowd of several hundred men; women and children as spectators and eggerS-on.
 The fight was short one because the police intepfered and arrested both the participants who are now held in bail of $75 each to insure their appear ance in the city court tomorrow morn ing to answer to charges of assault. The story of the advent of the green eyed monster of jealousy in the lives of the two women, as learned by the police, is that the no-legged iceman is living with. one of the women after having left the other one. Both wo- men live near Hamilton street on St John street. Their names are Bar barello Bagozzino and Giacomina Mino Bengitango. After ascertaining these two names the Grand avenue police were so exhausted that they did not dare ask what was the name of the iceman who was the cause of it all. The iceman has been in that business all summer, having another man with him to do the running.
