One Legal Hanging in Maricop a
County.

Only one man has been hung by
due process Of law in Maricopa
county, and he was a Mexican,
whose name the oldest inhabitant
does not remember. The execu-
ton took place during the fall Of
1886 and the job was done by
Acssrs. II. Mcdonald and Bill
BIankenship, under sheriffs. Mr.
Hugh Thomas was sheriff Of the
county at the time and Judge
Horace Porter was the district
Judge, Mr.. Frank Shaw clerk Of
the court and Prof. r. A. Long,
who is now superintendent Of pub.
lie instruction, was deputy clerk
and wrote the death warrant.
The crime for which the Moxi.
can was hanged was the murder OF
the superintendent Of the Upton
mines at or near Gillette on the
Black Canyon road. The Mexi-
can stopped the stage as it was
passing and stepped up to his vic
tim and stabbed him in tho back
He was tried, convicted and exc
cuted in Phoenix.
The execution took place at the
old graveyard where the west end
school building now stands. Very
few people in Phoenix remembe
anything about the hanging,
though a few of them were present.
An old timer stated to the Gu
zctte recently that since he had
been in the valley there had been
at least $50 homicides committed
in this county and out of all these
crimes, but one man had been
hanged. True, one other man had
been sentenced but he got away
and was never apprchended.
| Others have been sent to the ter
ritorial prison and many have
escaped trial at all,-Ga-ette.

Murderer Bound Over.

T. D. Fulghum and T. L. Burts
returned Saturday from Clifton
with one John Edwards whom
they had arrested on suspicion of
being the murderer of the un-
known dead man found south of
Wilcox December 2. Saturday
evening he had his preliminary
hearing. The testimony develop
ed some very damaging circum,
stances pointing to defendant as
being the guilty man He and the
murdered man were seen together
the evening before. They camped
together and the next morning,
says the Range NeUs, the defendant
left with the burros and horses of
the murdered man and sold them to
parties near Clifton. The defend
ant claimed the property as his
own and that the man whom he
was with had left him afoot the
evening before taking his saddle
and blankets with him. 1t was
further shown that n blanket was
found aroand the body of the dead
man which was identified as the
blanket of the defendant. Suffi-
cient evidence was adduced to bind
the defendant over to await the
action Of the grand jury: In the
meantime T. D. Fulghum and
others are working to clear up the
mystery and securing q complete
chain of evidence to convict
Edwards, whom they firmly be-
lieve to be guilty of the crime.

at is reported here that the
farmers in the ella valley are an
noyed with the presence Of tailings
in the river water carried from
the concentrators at Clifton and
Morenci. One thing is certain,
the water is carrying large per
cent Of tailings and gives it a
distinctly milkey color. A report
also says that threats have been
made by some of the valley people
to institute suits, having for their
object to stop the companies from
running their taillngs into the
river. Such suit we presume
would definitely settle the old
controversy of whether or not this
offal from the Clifton and Morenci
reduction works in the water is
detrimental to the growth of crops
in the lower valley ."-Bisbee Re
| uieU.
THAT the water is white with
the tailings is true, and that a
number of complaints are being
made by farmers that the water is
injurious to vegetation is also q
fact, but we have. heard of nc
threats being made TO institute
suits against the companies
although if it is true that the tail
ings make the water impure some
thing will have to be done sooner
or later.

A DAY FOR CHILDREN.
At Christmas Time Let Us Help Ma K
the Litttc Folks
Happy.

Christmas seems to be the one fcs-
tival of the year which rightfuliy
belongs to the children--the time
when the Chrst-chld came
into the world, born in such lowly
place, that no child, however humble,
but should share in the joy of his
birth. If we have children in our
homes, says a writer in the Farm
and Fireside let us invest the Christ
nas-time with all the beauty and
brightness that is poss ible. Teach
them the sweet old Christmas songs,
such as Holy Night" Once in Royal
David's City" 20 Little Town of
bethlehem" and Joy to the World"
Tell them again the story of the
birth of the Christ. All children love
it, and it is ever new. These talks
are made more interesting by looking
at pictures. Good copies of old
masterpieces illustrating the life of
Christ are very cheap now, and
should be in every home. Such
pictures as Corneggio's Nativity"
"The Worship Of the Magi," "rhe
Madonna and Child" will make a last
ing impression on a child's mind.
As Christmas commentaries Gods
greatest and best gift to the world,
i, is sweet custom for friends to
give some gift to each other symbol
i2ing their love. In too many homes
the children are in danger of having
their own idea Of Christmas one of
getting something, instead of sharing
in the joy of giving. In this way
they lose the best part of the Christ
mas joy he sure to let even the
little ones have a share in the Christ
mas reparation; teach them that
the best part Of every gift is the
love that goes with it, and to try to
make happy Christmas for as many
os they can. 1t would be a good
thing if all children would commit
to memory these lines, by Phoebe
Carey, and practice them
Children whose lives are best with love
untold,
Whose gifts are greater than your arms
can hold,
Think Of the child who stands
To-day with empty hands!
Go M them up and you will also 1l
