Bowers

Ward claims that Bowers wore a
muff1er about his face and that he be-
lieved him to be a burglar. Ward and
Mrs. Bowers assert that Bowers left
home Monday, presumably to be gone
three days, and that his return at an
early hour Tuesday was due to jeal-
eusy and desire to spy on his wife.
Bowers wore partial disguise and
carried revolver. Bowers formerly
lived in South. Africa and in London.
Mrs. Bowers and Ward have been
friends since childhood. Ward came
for Bowers and lived with the Bowers
family.
Bowers was a thirty-second. degree

HAVE FAITH IN GOVERNOR.
Women Have No Fear That He Will
Veto Suffrage Measure.

These statements were made last
evening in regard to the suffrage bill:
"The resolution calling for suffrage
is in concurrent form, which requires
a two-thirds majority to pass. The
ladies must be pretty confident to
tackle that job, but then they say they
want to pass the law in such form that
1t will not have to go to the governor
and take chances with his veto in or
der to become a law. They seem to
have more confidence in the 1egisla-
ture than in the governor"
We are extremely sorry that any one
should make statements and attribute
them to the women to the effect that
we have no faith in our governor. This
in the face of the fact that he voted
for the bill whenever he has had op-
portunity to do so, when he was in the
legislature. The fact is we were so
sure of him that we have not taken
any of his valuable time to interview
him as to whether he would sign the
bill or not We thought it absolutely
unnecessary. The bill as it is intro
duced was prepared by men who know
what is required to submit the matter
to the people.
