The Site OF Dooicy's Gallows.

City Sergeant Traynham has not
determined positively on what partlc-
ular spot Of earth he will erect the
gallows upon which Jeff Dooley, the
murderer of officer Tom Mabry, will be
hanged. He very naturally prefers the
rear of the dismantled city Jail, as it is
the most suitable place and insures
greater privacy than any other, but if
Contractor Manley begins work on the
new structure before April 8, some other
place will have to be selected. In this
event the gallows will be erected in the
courthouse yard, probably at the south
west corner. Work upon it will not be
commenced, however, before April 1.

THE selection of W. K. Meade by Governor Murphy as Worlds Fair Commission to succeed Wm Zecken- dorf was not only compliment to the gentleman selected, but also to Cochise county. Mir. Meade was in no sense an applicant for the place. Governor Murphy was strongly urged to appoint him when the removal of Wm. Zeck- endorf was first talked of. The claims of Cochise county fo the honor were laid before the executive and he could not but see the force of the argument. MT. Meade's fitness for the place was the incentive that brought forth the personal appeals of the most sussisn- tial citizens Of Cochise in NIT. Meade's behalf. Other sections Of the territory s.sc f.rpished strong supporters in Mir, Meade's favor. No one could have been selected for the place who will give more general satisiscti on, or . better account of his stewardship than Nr. Meade.

 The pace was hot one from the start. At the quarter Longstreet dropped behind, and the race was be- tween, Russel. Morrow, Pesssra and Raceland. On the upper turn Russell held first place by an open length from Judge Morrow His hackers were temporarily jubilant, but Russell quit just where he did last year. When he refused to run further, Covington became over confident and began easing up on Judge Morrow, where upon Taral on Pessara, who had been unable to get through the bunch be- fore, came up with a tremendous burst of speed Fortunately for Morris, Cov.ngton turned in his saddle and discovered his danger just in time. A sixteenth from the finish he began 10 ride Judge Morrow hard. Pessara was slowly bat surely gaining on him, and undoubtedly would have passed him, had not Coyington drawn his whip and began to fog Morrow. In reality he was hitting Pessara on the nose, and each time the lash came down Pessara would draw back hi head to escape punishment. Taral shouted to the lad to stop, but he kep, right on smashing PessaTa over the nose, and came under the wire a neck ahead. Time .0s3
