Mrs. Margaret Coen, a pretty young school teacher near Towner, was granted a divorce from her husband, whom she claims forced her to marry him a year ago at the point of a revolver. The woman had known the man but a week when he passed her along a country road near Duluth. He pulled out a revolver and compelled her to accompany him to Duluth where a minister married them.
