Persisted in Talking Socialism
On the Street Corners.
She, Together With Other Ladies,
Was Arrested, run In
Fair Ones Not Permitted to Give
Bail; Will Fight the Case.
From Tuesdays Daily.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Mrs. DIR. Frizet of Seattle, better
known in Winona as Bessie Barnbrooke
which was her name during her girl
hood days spent in that city, has
come into considerable notoriety in
Seattle by reason of her connection
with the socialistic agitation there
which the authorities have been try
ing to suppress. According to stories
in Seattle papers Mrs. Frizet recently
spent night in Jail in company with
three other prominent ladies OF Seat
tie because they persisted in speak
ing on the street corners on socialistlc
questions, after they had been warn
ed not to do so.
Stirred the Socialists.
1t seems there have been number
of arrests made in Seattle because
of attempting to hold these street
meetings and this has stirred the So
cialists up so that they are persisting
in attempting to hold these meetings in
spite of opposition. There are a
great many socialists in Washington
and particularly around Seattle, and
they have determined upon cam
paign of offering themselves for arrest
by reason of speaking at street cor
ners, regular appointments being
made of those who are to speak each
day. BY this means it is said they
figure on filling up the jails and clog
ging the court machinery with the
trial of these cases, until by this
means the opposition will grow tired.
They claim that it is a violation of
free speech to stop them from talk
ing at street corners and that under
The constitution of the United States
they have this privilege. After being
arrested they are generally released
on bail. Already there are a number
of cases against them awaiting trial.
Interest in Socialism.
Dr. Frizet and his wife, nee Bessie
Hornbrooke, are both actively inter
eSted IN the SOclallSC propaganda ana
are backing the movement to prevent
stoppage of the street corner meet
ings by socialists. On the day that
Mrs. Frizet and the three other ladies
undertook to make street speeches
they did so by appointment, having
been selected as some of the victims
for the days sacrifice. They were first
arrested and taken to the station
where they were warned against any
further attempt at street meetings
and were allowed to go, but instead
of needing this warning they immed-
lately attempted to hold another street
meeting and We're promptly arrested.
Two of the ladies had babies with
them and these were given into the
charge of the matron, while the other
two, one of whom was Mrs. Frizet,
spent the night in the women's cell.
None of the women were allowed to
get bail until the morning. The wom-
en- came out in interviews in which
they declare the Jail unsanitary and
bad smelling and fully endorse the
fault found with it by the recent
grand jury.
The cases will be strongly defended
when they come to trial.

OIteflHS CneSe WOTuS Ill HOdISe
whisper, Calvin Duffey fell back dead,
a victim of the demon rum. He had
drank the stuff that has made drunk
ards, but rags on the backs of chill
dren ana caused many family to
suffer with the pangs of hunger. He
played his last engagement by drink
ing carbolic acid
The Fairmont Sentinel tells the
story:
At about eleven o'clock Tuesday
night Calvin Duffey, Mike Duffey and
Frank Murray of Armstrong arrived
in Fairmont, put their team in Walk
er's barn and then registered at the
Foster House. All were intoxicated
when they came and continued to
spend money freely for drinks the
next day.
Duffey intended to take the train
here for Montana and Wednesday aft
home Calvin shed tears when they
drove away from the barn and de-
clared he would never see them again.
He then laid down on the bed in the
barn office.
Mr.. Walker, who has a kind heart,
allowed the man to lay there, believ-
ing he would soon sober off. Between
five and six o'clock that evening
Duffey got up, went up town and
bought a two ounce bottle of car
bolic acid at Canright's drug store,
saying he wanted it to cleanse the
wound of horse cut in wire fence.
! Funny to Drink Water.
He went back to the barn where
Mr.. Walker was at work, and asked
for cup to get drink of water,
remarking, cts funny thing for
men to drink water, amt it?" He
went to the pump as directed, got the
cup, then walked to the front of the
barn and stood on the outside at the
southeast corner.
Mrs. Nelson, who lives near, saw
him drink from the cup, fall back
ward and heard him cry out. He
then got up and Mr.. Walker saw him
and walk into the office. Walker
soon followed him in and found that
he had vomited on the floor; he again
threw up the contents of his stomach
and gasped, 81 am dying"
Its Your Damned Whisky.
Mr.. Walker smelled carbolic acid
and ask if he had drank the poison.
The answer in a whisper was, "It's
your damned whisky!" These were his
last words and in few seconds he
was dead.
Mr.. Walker summoned the marshal
and physician as soon as possible.
Coroner Janss of Welcome was noti-
fled and arrived at about nine o'clock.
He had the remains taken to Brodt's
undertaking rooms. No money was
found in the mans pockets. He had
evidently spent it all and could not
90 west, which may have been par
TALLY the reason for his rash act.
The coroner was so thoroughly con-
WINGED that it was a case of suicide
that he did not deem an inquest nee
essary. The sidewalk shows spot
where some of the acid was spilled
when turned into the cup, and the
dead mans lips were burned white.
No blame attaches to Mr.. Walker, as
he did everything he could for the
poor man both before and after his
death.
Duffey was about thirty years of
age and belonged to a good family
who live near Armstrong. Another
brother and a brother -in-law came to
Fairmont on receipt of the sad news
and took the remains home Thursday.

HALT ON HARTMAN.

IT HE Federal administration, il is announced,
4 docs not propose to proceed against Har-
riman, the railroad and financial magnate who
has been accused of violating the antitrust laws
upon many occasions. Evidently the govern
ment is in doubt whether a case strong enough
TO win conviction, has been made out against
Hartman. Men Of the stamp OF Hartman Sc
cure the best legal talent obtainable and are very
careful to keep within the letter OF the law They
are fortified with an endless amount of money
and able TO take advantage of loop holes in
the law. The government has been so lax in
dealing with these powerful evaders of the law
that the latter have considered themselves inn
mune. Il is certain however, that if the gov
ernment is able to make a case against Hartman
and his coterie it will do so. The President has
