DUELS WITH PISTOLS
HUNGARIAN DOCTORS CHALLENGES United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright BUDAPEST, November 24. Seeking to vindicate the honour of his wife, about which it is alleged aspersions were cast, Dr Francis Sarga, who challenged nine men, fought the first two duels with pistols, secretly, in a stubble field on the outskirts of the city. His first opponent was wounded in the arm and sent to hospital. In the second duel both missed and were reconciled.
The duels were necessarily hurried, as peasants flocked to the scene immediately the news spread. Dr Sargo does not intend carrying the remainder of the duels further immediately, as the police are watching.
