KELLYVILLE STREETS
        SCENE OF GUN FIGHT
        Pair Are Said to Have
        Started to Shoot Up Town

SAPULPA June 8.—(Special) A pitched battle between Sheriff  E. A. Livingston and a posse of deputies and two men; Bev and Fred Bowman raged for several hours at Kellyville, near here today. The trouble started when the Bowmans are said to have started to shoot up the town after disarming the city marshal, who attempted to stop the alleged disturbance. On the appearance of the sheriff's force the men took to the brush, having obtained high powered rifles. They were surrounded in a creek bottom about a mile from the town, but escaped because of the thickness of the underbrush.

One of the men, Bev Bowman; is thought to have been Wounded, a trail of blood having been found near the spot where the men were seen last. None of the sheriff's force was injured.
