Editors Freeman-Tribune: Be-
cause of the fact that little para
graph has been published in some of
| the leading papers of the state in
regard to the talk made by the writ
er of this letter at, the editorial asso-
citation, gives the appearance" to
the casual reader that we were
completely overwhelmed" mentally,
physically, ETC., we take this meth
| Cd of writing at least a half way ex-
PLANTATION, trusting that our friends
and others will see the reason and
also the injustice done us by the lit
tie paragraph above mentioned.
We were invited to talk at the
convention by the program commit
tee-to use any subject we preferr-
ed, suffrage or otherwise. Please re-
member we were invited to do this,
having a special place on the pro-
gram. We did not come unlimited
to take the time allotted to anyone
else. We are a merry sort Of an
individual when it comes to that,
but we are not the kind that comes
"uninvited," neither do We speak
other peoples (men's) sentiments
Or defend the strong. We are trying
in feeble way to help the cause of
down-tTodden humanity, principally
the little children and those of our
own sex, who are not getting the
square deal" We have not always
had square dear' ourselves and
now that we are, we are ready and
willing to fight for those who are
not, but maybe, we ought to go a lit
tie farther. Maybe, there are some
brow-beaten, terrorized, puny and
weak legislators in the upper house
who cannot fight their own battles
and we should have included them
in the class of down trodden" hui
manity. We humbly beg their par
don, if so, as well as the public's
pardon. Perhaps these "tottering'
individuals could take a rest next
session, and so gain enough
strength, physically and mentally,
that woman, whose place is in the
home, can stay out of the game call
ed "man's game" and not have to
defend them.
We are not at all intimidated, we
are writing this letter, simply, to
get a'''square DEAL in this matter.
We contend, regardless of the fact
that the newspapers have reported
the fact that we We're routed by the
Senator's Secretary" ETC., etc. If
we are woman, We can stop talk
ing. We have, We hope, enough |
sense not to turn the whole current |
Of meeting which was being held
for some other purpose than the one
which We may advocate. If the
aforesaid meeting had been a stuff
rage meeting, we beg to inform our
friends and others that we would
still be talking if necessary.
Thanking you and heartily assur-
ng you that we believe the day is
lot far distant when right and not

hat, if the women of Iowa do not
want to vote, that makes no differ
:nce to US. We want the right and
when we have the right, we will
'ote to suit ourselves.

AGED CRIPPLE is
KILLED IN ARIZONA

Douglas, Ariz, May 1O-William
Watson, aged so. a rancher and a Grip
pie, residing three miles east Of Lee
station and Is miles east Of Douglas,
was mysteriOusly murdered last night
while en- route home from Douglas,
where he had sold a load Of wood.
When he passed through Lee early
In the evening he was well and in
good spirits. When the team reached
his home some time later, the man was
found by his family half reclining and
IN the seat of the wagon, the entire
top Of his head blown away, apparently
with a shotgun.
Coroner Naclay and deputy sheriff
Harris, with jury, left late last night
and viewed the body and the scene.
They returned early this morning. They
say the man had no gun In his wagon
and believe he was murdered.
Robbery was not the motive, as sew
eral dollars in silver and gold watch
We're left in the pockets of his clothing
The crime is believed to have been
committed near his home on account
of the position of the body on the seat
when the wagon arrived there. He is
survived BY wife and three sons.

FIRE IN NEWSPAPER
OFFICE MYSTERIOUS
Mexican Editor Arrested as He Comes
From Building; Davis Flights
Fire IN HIS Homo.

Fire IN HIS Home.
Fire of a mysterious origin at 500
o'clock Saturday morning started a
blaze in the establishment Of the Eco
COmmericio, a Mexican paper, located
In the 500 block on South FL PasO
street. At the time sergeant Fletcher
and special officer Claud Smith were
passing the place. They saw the flame
through the window and turned in the
alarm. Shortly after that J. A. Her
nandez, proprietor Of the paper ran out
of the building. He was fully dressed.
The officers stated that he carried the
keys to the place in one hand and a
gun in the other. Hernandez was ar
rested and taken to the police station,
where he was held pending an investi-
cation by the city detectives.
The detectives reported that the
floors of the building had been satu-
rated with coal oil Hernandez, they
say, claimed that il must have been
an act Of his enemies. The fire itself
did no damage.
Uses Lawn Hose to Fight Fire.
c. B. Davis. living at 1881 Myrtle
avenue, did his own fire fighting when
a fire Saturday morning at 500 o'clock
started in one of the clothes closets
Of the place. The Central fire COM
pany responded to the alarm, but when
it arrived Mr.. Davis by means of the
lawn hose had the fire eXtinguished.
The clothes hanging in the closet were
destroyed, which was all the damage
done. Children playing with matches
are held responsible for the fire.
Home Damaged.
The home Of George z. Smith, man
ager of the Union stOckyards, was
damaged by fire Thursday morning.
Mr. Smith, who had been out in the
stOclzyards, returned in time to see the
fire making Roadway in one Of the
rooms Of the house, and he fought it
with a garden hose. One room was
badly scOrched and the furniture in it
damaged by smoke 1t is not known
