 Hsmpsn Heckhes for Two.
 PHENIx, August 22.-Last night about midnight John Lebarr, a well known saloon.keeper, closed his place of business and before going home went to a saloon across the street and treated the crowd. One man, named McClosky, not being invited, picked up a quarrel and left the saloon. Return ing shortly he entered the saloon and ran up to Lebarr and first hit him and then cut him in the bowels with a large butcher-knife. He was taken home and is now lying at the point of death. The doctor says he cannot pos sibly live. This morning he regained consciousness sufficiently to identify his assailant.
 This morning all the saloons, stores and other places of business were in- vited to close, and about 10 o'clock the Law and Order Committee made its appearance and quietly marched to the jail and demanded entrance. The crowd was very large. The outer door of the jail was unlocked, the cell door opened and McClosky taken out. The crowd also took out John Kelly, the man arrested for killing Monihon few days since. Ropes were then tied around their necks and they were led down Main street to the Plaza and there hanged to the limbs of a cotton wood tree.
 Kelley said it was an old grudge.
 McClosky said he was drunk.
 After the hanging the captain of the committee said the law was too slow :; justice demanded the act; and spoke of the number of lawless characters in town, requesting their early departure or it would prove unhealthy for them. He also gave advice to a we'll known Mexican, who was accused of melting a riot among the Mexicans because of the killing of Romero last night Sa- looms were requested to be kept closed the remainder of the day. Everything was quiet and orderly, no drunkeness. No objections were made to the hang. ing. Every one quietly dispersed.
 The Coroner's verdict on the bodies of the two murderers was that they came to their death by the hanging, at the hands of parties unknown.
 This morning a merchant named Morgan arrived from his station on the Gila River and surrendered him. self for killing a Mexican named Jesus Figaro. No particulars.
