After she had been outraged and murdered the house was rifled of nearly everything of value. There is no elew to tlie perpetrator of the. crime.
Mrs. Matson was for several years a. member of the city board of education from the fifth ward, and took an active interest in the city schools. She was at one time a city teacher and was as well known as any woman in the city. She was generally supposed to have considerable money and owned five or six houses on tlie east Mle. Her husband left her four or five yenrs ago and took up a homestead in California, where he has since lived. Mrs. Matson was a member of the Topeka Equal Suffrage associa
