CONFESSES
Former Rock Islander Admits
Numbering and Cremating
His Wife.
CRIME AT EsTHERVILLB, IOWA
First Knocks Her Unconscious,
Then Saturates Clothing
With Gasoline.

John A. Freeman, who has confessed
at Estherville, Iowa, to the murder
and cremation of his wife, until five
years ago resided in Edgewood park,
Rock Island. From here the family
moved to Galesburg, and later to
Estherville.
The inquest was adjourned until
yesterday when, after hearing the
testimony of neighbors of the Free
mans, the husband was again brought
from his cell to answer further ques-
tions concerning the burning OF his
house and the death of bis wife. when
he announced to the coroner,
f. B. Myrick, and to the
coroner's jury, that he had
decided to tell the truth, and q
most startling confession followed to
the effect that he had knocked his
wife unconscious with a shoe and
pushed her against the dresser. Then,
placing her on the bed, he saturated a
handkerchief with chforoform and
placed it over her mouth and nose.
covered her with blanket, sprinkled
the bed and surrounding things with
gasoline, set fire to the bed clothes
and went to the barn until the fire
had made sufficient Roadway to pre-
vent any rescue or anything that
would lead to any detection of the
crime, when he called his neighbors.
He stated also that he and his wife
had engaged in disputes recently over
many matters, and that she enter
tanned recently a fixed belief that he
intended leaving her, which ne said
he in fact did not intend to do. He
had planned to go to the country for a
day or so, he said, on the day of the
crime, and she demonstrated with
him, and becoming angered at her,
committed the acts stated.
Talk OF Lynching Bee.
The couple had been married but
six months, and both were near the
age of 30. He is unusually intelli-
gent. Local sentiment is strongly
against Freeman and considerable
talk of lynching is engaged in.

CHILDREN ON VACATION:
EXERCISES IN SCHOOLS.

The Rock Island public schools
closed for a 2-weeks' holiday this af-
ternoon. The occasion was appro-
priately celebrated in the different
rooms at the various buildings. There
were songs and recitations by the
children and talks along the line of
Christmas duties by the teachers, oc-
cupying periods ranging from 80
minutes to an hour and half.
In some OF the first grade rooms
Santa Claus made his appearance and
distributed moderate quantities of
Christmas cheer: just foretaste of
what will follow.
The children were given the last
period, school being dismissed at re-
cess.

FIREMEN DANCE TONIGHT
Big Attendance Expected at the Ball at
the Rink.

Big Attendance Expected at the Ball at
the Rink.
Tonight all roads will lead to the
roller rink on Sixteenth street, for
few will miss the annual ball of the
Rock Island fire department. All are
cooperating with the members of the
department to the end that it shall be
the biggest event of the kind this sea-
son. The proceeds, as is pretty well
known, are turned into the depart
ment fund, money that is held to help
such members as NAV meet with acct
dent or sickness. 1t is a worthy
cause and deserves TO be encouraged.
We have no better friends than the
fire fighters. When we are in trou-
bic with the flames they are the first
ones to come to our assistance. They
are ever ready to extend helping
hand. And as one good turn deserves
another, we all should make it a point
to be on hand tonight for the ball.

Our Boys in the philippines.

The movements of the 26th Inf. U. S.
Vols. have been carefully followed by
many in this vicinity, because several of
our boys are members of the regiment.
There is an added interest attached to
the personal experiences of these, and
two letters from Albert J. Gale which
have been received during the past week
are being eagerly read by many of his
friends. The letters were written during
the latter part of November and are post
marked Iloilo. He writes particularly
OF the work of the band and speaks of
the desire ofeveryOne to get on the firing
line. Since that time a good many of
them have had their ambitions grati6ed.
The band had laid aside their instru-
ments, each member had received a
"Krag Jorgensen" and 100 rounds of
ammunition and were doing outpost
duty. The most successful feature of
Gales individual work in putting down
the instruction was the capture, with
the aid OF another member of the band.
of two natives who were smuggling a
boat load OF rice to the enemy. When
they turned the prisoners into the guard
house the officer of the guard remarked
that it was very good work for bands
men. Those who treasure carefully
some piece of veneered mahogany may
be interested in the description Mr.. Gale
gives OF building in which the band
was quartered for a time. He states
that they slept on floor in which some
OF the boards were OF solid mahogany
80 feet long, 9 to / 2 inches wide, and one
and one fourth inches in thickness. In
speaking of the other st. Johnsbury boys
in the regiment, Brooks, Fox, and Bonett,
the writer states that they have been
well except for those ailments which are
usually the lot of the soldier. Mr. Gale |
has been exceptionally well and is so
much pleased with army life that he
mentions his intention of re. enlisting
when this term of service expires.
Shorty" Gale is exceedingly popular
among his former associates here and |
anything which concerns him is a matter
OF great interest to his many friends.
