SCHULTZ OUGHT TO GET SOME OF SCHMITT REWARD Editor The Star: I am writing you regarding that man Schmitt that killed the policeman in Seat- ue, also in regard to the reward going to the widows of the police, Now, here in Olympia is the widow of Mr. Schultz, who was | killed while trying ~to capture the same man, and it seems to me that it wouldn't be any more than right if she got the re- ward, for she has four children to take care of, And while Mr, Schultz was an Elk and carried some insurance it is but a drop in the bucket when it comes to brings ing up a family of four. As I understand it, the police. men's widows receive $57 per month as long as they stay single, To me it seems as tho Mrs, Schultz ought to receive the re- ward, if any of the widows receive it, as she sure could use it to a good advantage, and would put it to good use.
