Unafraid of death on the zsalloWs not be prolonged Miguel PeraIta wanted for double murder at Jc- rome, was taken through the city to Prescott yesterday by Deputy Sheriff Joe Young of Yavapai coun- ty. The deputy sheriff had captured hIm four miles from Tucson where he had been engaged in digging a we'll
 The murders for which Peralta is wanted were committed about a month ago. His victims were his di- vCrced wife and a Mexican with whom she was living after having abandoned him. The murders were committed by shooting and death en- sued within an hour though it was Tot until yesterday that Peralta learned that his victims were dead
 He fled from Jerome at once and two days later he was seen eighteen miles east of Prescott inQuiring for the Black Canyon road. About tha. time a Mexican supposed to be Per
  at Maricopa and was brought to Phoenix Sheriff Keeler came down to take him to Prescott but on sec ing him said that he was not the murderer.
 The journey to Tucson took Peralta ten days and it was made wholly on fcot On his arrival there he wrote to an acquaintance in Jerome inquir- ing if his wife and her paramour were dead and he added that if they were not, he would return to Jerome and finish the work.
 Some days later this letter was brought to the attention of the sher- ffrs office and early this week Dep uty Young went to Tucson but he remained there several days before he could get any trace of the mur- derer
 He seemed not vet to have learned that his wife was dead and when the deputy assured him that he had accomplished the tack he set out to perform. he expressed satisfaction and said that he was ready to die. He only wished he said, that he might be hanged immediately after sen tence was passed upon.
 Peralta had been working at Je- rome for several years as black smith and tool maker and is said to have been a good workman and a fairly good citizen. He said that he gave all of his money to his wife and when she left him he was filled with hatre of her His hatred had not become murderous though until she entered upon an irregular rela- ton with another man.

CONGRATULATIONS
 OF [. 4. TRIBUNE
t Regards the Woman Suffrage Fight in Arizona as Good
 as Won.

The Los Angeles Tribune extends it's congratulations to the women of this state anent the effort to arrange for an election on the suffrage amend ment and says it is incOnceivlble that there can be any doubt how the fight will terminate In the purVieW of the Tribune the suffrage contest is as good as won.
 This may be the correct view, but it is not the view generally held in this state Even the friends of the movement. and by this is meant those who are actively supporting it do not anticipate a walkOver They are inclined to think they will win but they do not feel so certain as does the Tribune. However, it may be said the Tribune is more noted for it's intensiVeness than for it's acumen so its opinion is not of the kind to excite remarks.
 But there is one thing that is ap- parent. The coming suffrage cam paign is to be one of the scrappiest political battles that have occurred in this state in good many years, and that is saying good deal. The women have already done consider able work in the matter of organi21- tion and they are preparing for d campaign that will be carried into every nook and corner of the. state. The work will not all he done by the feminine contingent; for d number of male sympathizers will be drafted to help with the heavy work.
 All the methods of the up- to- date political campaig will be in evidence. Not only will will there be plenty of oratory but d plan is on foot for utilizing printers ink in large meas ure in behalf of the suffragists Just to what extent the opposition will be organized and what methods of cam paigning it will follow cannot be said just yet.
 The women themselves pretty gen erally feel that they have an excellent chance tc win. The best informed of them do not regard it as a particu- larly easy proposition but they do feel reasonably sure of victory What has been done in California, they feel, can be done here.
 And e number of we'll informed men feel inclined to view the matter in the same light. The rather re- markabIe showing made by the friends of the cause" in securing names for the initiative petition has been something of revelation and this fact is taken to be one of great significance in denoting the way the wind is blowing. But it is realized that, after all, there is a long dis tance between fifteen per cent and more than fifty per cent of the voters and that it will not do to place too much stress upon this fact.
 For the present, then, it is a little difficult to tell much about the prob able outcome of the voting That in one or two sections of the state the suffrage amendment will carry over Whelmingly seems certain; but that the majorities in those section will be sufficient to pull the proposition through against the adverse majori ties that are certain to be cast else where cannot be said at this time.
