Mrs. Fremont, who died at Los An
geles, Call recently, at the age of 10
shared her husbands fame during his
lifetime. She was belle at Washing
ton at II, and was only 16 when she
eloped with Lieutenant Fremont. 1.-THE
Pathfinder probably would never have
made his most famous exploration trip
that to the Pacific coast-had not his
wife, instead of sending him the recall
issued from Washington through the
efforts of men jealous of him, warned
him to start at once and get out of
reach of orders. On that expedition he
reached the Pacific coast and opened
the great territory intervening between
il and the Mississippi Valley. Mrs.
Fremont set out to join him by way OF
Panama in 1913. The trip was great
hardship, but she did not complain.
Following her arrival, she aided her
husband materially in bringing Califor-
MIA into the Union as free State.
Returning to Washington when her
husband was made the first Senator
from the new State, she renewed old
friendships and made many acquaint-
ances who became strong friends in
after life. When General Fremont had
heen defeated for the Presidency Mrs.
Fremont accompanied him to Europe,
where they were received at many OF
the European courts and great honor
paid them.
After the death of her husband Mrs.
Fremont made her home in Los An
geles, where she was presented home
by the women of California. While she
always was busy she found time to
write of some of her experiences. Mrs.
Fremont was engaged on her biography
when she died. She had enjoyed ex-
cellent health until last summer, when
she fell and broke hip. Her health
then steadily began TO decline.
Mrs. Fremont was remarkable
woman. to whom the territory west of
the Mississippi River owes more than
TO any other person perhaps in the
country. BY Withholding the dispatch
ordering her husband TO abandon his
expedition to the Pacific coast she
made the opening of that great section
possible.

TILLMAN SHOOTS AN EDITOR.
Lieut. Governor of South Carolina Fires
at Man Who Had Denounced Him.

James 81. Tilman, Lieutenant Gov
ernor of South Carolina and nephew of
United States Senator Benjamin Till
man, Thursday shot down Narcisse G..
Gonzalez, editor of The State. Tillman
shot Gonzalez within a few moments
after leaving the Senate, over which he
had presided, and the deed was commit
ted within a few yards of the capitol,
on the main street of Columbia. and in
the sight of hundreds of passersby.
Tillman was accompanied by two State
Senators. They met Gonzalez and, with
out a word, Tillman stepped toward the
editor, drew a revolver and fired at short
range. The wounded man staggered
back, leaned against building, and the
Lieutenant Governor, stepping forward,
raised the revolver again. Gonzalez
cried: "Shoot again. you coward" His
assailant lowered the revolver and walk
ed away. Gonzalez was unarmed He
was shot through the body and the ply
sicians pronounced his wound probably
fatal.
The cause of the shooting was that
during the recent primary election Con-
zalez bitterly opposed Tillman in his race
for Governor. During the campaign
Gonzalez in his paper called Tillman q
"debauchee and blackguard," and
denounced him as criminal candidate
and proven liar
