Five Murderers Ranged in Arizona.

On the night of Dec s, 1888, six mounted and
wel1-armed men raided the town of Bisbee
Ariz., and killed J. c. Tappincs, j. II. Molly
and q. A Smith and wounded Mrs. Roberts.
They then robbed Castenada's store of 81 200
and fed in the direction of Sonora, hoping to
get over the border. Five OF them, O. W. Sam
pie, James Howard, Dan Dowd, William De-
lane and Dan Kelly were hanged at Tombstone,
Arizona on Friday, all declared their innocence
Heath, who was lynched there Feb ed, was al
SO innocent They bade good by to their friends,
and expressed faith in the Christian religion.
The murderers were all dropped off together,
and, excepting Dowd, died without struggle
Over a thousand persons witnessed the execu-
tion The criminals did not show the slightest
fear at the near approach Of death. After be-
ing shaven and dressed in new black suits one
Of them remarked ,'sWell boys, if we haven't
lived like gentlemen we will die like them" :"
A few minutes before leaving their cells, the
sheriff notified them he would permit them to
go to the scaffold unshackled, but each would
be accompanied by a deputy. How
ard protested against this. saying he would
prefer being tied and carried mp than hav tthe
spectators think he wasn't game enough to
mount the gallows without help. The others
joined III the protest, but the sheriff was iufex-
ible. On the scaffold the bandits recognized
some familiar fnces in the crowd, and called
out their names cheerfully bidding them good
bye. The nooses were then adjusted when o.
second general protest was entered by all FIVE
saying they were being cLoked to death on the
scaffold. Howard requested the sheriff to
move tho knot further back, adjusting his neck
to the moose, Not one Of them apparently
showed the slightest sign of fear or regret

e The most successful journals Of the
country are newspapers--in fact as well
an in name. The old style papers, full
and redundant in opinions and chary OF
facts, have ceased to be profitable.
Some OF theN are yet in existence, but
the income therefrom is small, and in
some cases, below expenses, which have
to be eked out by the bounty of pol-
iticians and others more remotely in
terested in their continued life than the
public in general. The masses want
facts and details of events, and believe
themselves capable Of forming their
own opinions therefrom. Hence the
wonderful success Of newspapers that
are newspapers, and not simply conduits
of editorial opinion.
