KELLYVILLE STREETS,
SCENE OF GUN FIGHT

Pair Are Said in Have
              Started to Shoot Up Town

SAPULPA. June 6.—(Special)—A itched battle between Sheriff E. A. Livingston and a posse of deputies and tow men, Ben & Fred Bowman raged for several hours art Kellyville, near here Monday. The trouble started when the Bowman's 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.
