Susan b. Anthony died Monday at
her home IN Rochester, NJ. Y. at
the age OF SO years, and a wonderful
woman passed to her reward. She
was the soul center of the woman's
suffrage movement for fifty-six years
and from her parsonage radiated all
the great sentiments of the reform.
Her first idea for the necessity of
the equality Of the sexes YVES obtain
ed when she first commenced to
teach school. Miss Anthony reserved
SIS month for her services while
a male pedagogue was given s45. and
the inequality OF the situation, where
both were engaged in earning a live
lihood, had much to do in shaping
her life in the woman's suffrage
movement. Hers has been a strenu-
Gus existence, and what she has con.
tributed to womankind will be treas
ufed as a great heritage by her sex.

A tale of inhumanity.. barbarity
and cruelty, alleged to have been
perpetrated at ella Bend ION a mere
boy by the name of MITCHELL by an
Arizona ranger, is now. attracting
considerable amount of attention in
the territorial press. The boy states
that he was sitting in front of a
store at ella Bend when shegwas ap-
preached by aranger and told that
he must get out of town.. The boy
states thai as fhe had money and had
done no wrong he naturally enquired
the g.. reason for the .erder,s which
seemed to enrage the officer, who
grabbed him and started to march
him to the lookup. When near the
lookup, the officer, so the boy states,
kicked him and beat him in a most
brutal manner. The boy naturally
resented such treatment from an Of
.ficer,aand told him that such conduct
wouldalose him his job. This intensi-
fed the anger of the. ranger who
then Struck him several heavy blows
with his fist, He. was then thrown
into the lookup and confined there
all day without food or water. He
states that his sufferlngs were some
thing terrible. His mouth parched
with thirst, and he called time and
again for water, but his calls were
not answered. He was finally over
come with heat. and pain and fell to
the floor in a fainting spell, and had
to be revived when food was brought
him. The following morning he was
taken to the edge of the town by the
ranger and told to walk east just as
fast as his legs would carry him.
When about ten yards from the
ranger that official began to Shoot
and the shots so frightened the boy
that he ran until he fell from sheer
exhaustion. A. passing section crew
picked him up and took him to
Maricopa and he was able to travel
to Phoenix A letter had been given
him by O. G. Smith, the, deputy sher-
iff of Maricopa, directing him to APP
ply to Judge tombstone, and inform
ing that official that part of the
story of Mitchell he knew. to be true.
Judge tombstone when the letter was
presented at once realized that the
expense to the county would be too
great and referred the lad to the
governor. That official in return re-
ferred the story to Lieutenant
Wheeler, who is temporarily in COM
mand ef-the rangers, for investiga-
ton. A report is anticipated in a
few days. In themeantime Mitchell
will remain in Phoenix. He has
