The Wilson-Anthony Duel took place on in the Arkansas House of Representatives Building on December 4th 1837 Between Arkansas Speaker of the House Colonel John Wilson and State Representative Major Joseph J. Anthony. The duel was due to a dispute over the then recent wolf scalping bill which was sent over from the state Senate, authorizing paying a bounty on wolf pelts presented to a county justice of the peace.
