ARISTOCRATS' DUEL
ABOUT A BARONESS. DEATH OF THE LADY. VIENNA, June 6. A former Russian Prince, Cyril Orloff, who was a diplomatist when the Czar reigned, has been arrested in connection with tragic events at Raabs Castle in Lower Austria. Orloff was visiting Baron and Baroness Klinger. It is alleged that the baron complained of his guest's attention to the baroness. A duel with revolvers ensued and the baron was wounded very seriously. The sounds of the shots roused other guests, one of whom is believed to have mistakenly told the baroness that her husband was dead. A few minutes later she was found shot dead. It is presumed that the baroness committed suicide. She leaves three children. (A. and N.Z.)
