HALL, EDWARD
HALL, TOM
(30 Mar 1911, Thursday, Sayre Standard, Sayre, Beckham Co, OK):
Albuquerque, N. M., March 26. - Tom and Edward Hall, brothers, are dead
and William Zumwalt is in jail, as the result of a three-cornered duel
with revolvers, which occurred this morning near Kenna, N. M.  The men
were all cattlemen and owners of small ranches near Kenna.  The fight was
the result of a dispute concerning the ownership of some cattle.  A small
boy, the only witness of the tragedy, says all three men were mounted and
that shortly after they met the shooting began.
The Hall brothers were formerly residents of Roger Mills county, having
been extensively engaged in the cattle business during the early days, and
were among the first settlers of this section of the state.  They removed
to New Mexico about nine years ago when this country first commenced to be
settled up by farmers.
