Sad ending of yonng girls life by
suicide on First Fork on Monday after
noon. Dory Peno left the house as her
mother supposed on an errand but not
returning, seach was made and her dead
body found near the barn with re:
volver near and bullet through her
heart. Deceased was the daughter of Mrs
Fred Peno of First Fork, No cause i.
known for the rash act by the young girls
parents. Mr.and Mrs. Peno have the SIN
cere sympathy of all their friends and
neighbors in their sad bereavement
Sad death by drowning. Our little
hamlet received a sudden shock Tues
day forenoon when news was brought
that Mrs. Austin Murray and her two
little girls were downed and little boy
was going down the creek on an over
turned boat. Every one left their work and
rushed to the place of the accident and
j. r. Batchelder and Geo. Mead ariv-
ing first rescued the little boy from his
perilous position but no traces of the
mother and two little girls could be
found. Mr.. Murray not being at home
at the time Mrs. Murray started to take
the children across the creek in a boat so
they could attend school at Grove, when
about midway OF the stream the boat
upset throwing all four of them into the
water, drowning the mother and two little
girls, the little boy about nine years old
coming to the surface, caught hold of the
boat which was upside down and thus
saved his life. Mrs. Murray leaves a
husband and two children to mourn her
untimely death, one about two years old
and the little boy who was with her and
saw her drowned. The cries of the father
and husband of the drowned family were
healt rending to all who were in the
search. Mr., Murray has the sympathy
of all in his sad bereavement. None of
the bodies have been recovered up to
noon Wednesday although about 100
men are dragging the creek in the search
of their dead bodies.

Elias Rspr,evs Granted.

'f"" NNtfttfN 1faWt@A.
 The lease of life of reodoro Elias. who was sentenced to be hanged at Tucson today was heightened yester- day by Acting Governor Nichols. If executed at all, Elias will live until September 23. The reprieve granted yesterday is the result Of the negotiations which have been going on between the office of the governor and the office of the sheriff of Pima county for several weeks. or ever since it was decided that the governor would not com mute the sentence of Elias. The reprieve is granted for the purpose of enabling the sheriff to comply with the statutes in determining whether or not Elias is sane. It IS generally believed that he is not at the present time, though he probably was at the time of his trial and at the time Of the com mission of the crime for which he
 
 was convicted.
 The acting governor the other day wrote the sheriff in reply to a letter from him stating that he would not have time before the date set for the execution to sum- mon jury on the insanity inquis- ition. The acting governor in that letter replied that if the sheriff de- sired to conduct such an inquisi- tion he would grant Elias q re- prieye not exceeding sixty days.
 Yesterday morning the following communication from Sheriff Mur- phy of Pima county was received at the office of the governor.
 Office of the Sheriff,
 Pima County, Arizona.
 Tucson, Ariz., July 23, 1901 Hon. ". F. Nichols, Acting Gov ernor, Phoenix, Ariz: Dear Sir:-I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of the 22nd inst. in relation to the Elias case. I have decided to proceed under the penal 1 code, to have the question of the sanity of Elias decided, as therein provided, and 1 find that there will not be sufficient time, prior to the date of the execution, in which to complete the inquisition In view of these facts, and upon the grounds herein set forth, I respect fully request that you grant re- prieve for said Elias for period ! Of sixty days.
 ! Very respectfully yours,
 FRANK E MURPHY,
