only son, a boy aged y. Nine. Remonda,
a hard working and respectable woman,

husband since she divorced him and as
his threats became more violent she armed
herself with a revolver.
At night as she was returning home from
her shop she was shot in the back at
twenty yards distance by Gregorio, and
fell on her knees. While in this position she
whipped out a revolver and shot at her
former husband. Each of the combatants
fired five shots,the woman, though
wounded thrice, killing her assailant with
the last which passed through his head
The street and the bridge over the Aar
were crowded with people at the time of
the duel and II is a wonder that no one
else was shot by the flying bullets
The woman, who was seriously, though
not MORALLY wounded. was taken to a hos
pital, where a bullet was successfully ex-
tracted. The other wounds are slight and
