THEY HAVE HOPE
FOR A REPRlEvE

Up TO the time that THE RECORD
went to press last night warder Cleg-
horn had received no intimation from
Governor Mcdonald that = stay of ex-
ecution would be granted in the case
OF Newton Andrews and Fred Arnold
and, unless Intervention comes from
that quarter. they will be hung some
time during the current week in &C.
cordance with the decree OF the court.
Last Friday morning the warden re-
ceived official notification that the
board Of pardons had declined to inter
fere with the rulings Of the court in
relation 10 the condemned men and
that 90 far as its members were con-
cerned the law would be permitted to
take it's course. The same communi-
cation that apprised the warden that
Arnold and Andrews must pay the ex-
treme penalty for their crime stated
that Chas. Peters, their associate In
the murder OF Mrs. Amanda Young
blood at Denver year and half ago,
had been given respite for six months
on account OF his alleged insanity.
Peters will occupy a cell In the peni.
tentiary until the week beginning No
vember 2lst when he will be hung un-
less further stay of execution should
be granted him by the governor, which
is not likely unless his dementia should
become thoroughly established in the
meantime.
As the time for the execution APP
proaches there is gradual breaking
dow n of the prisoners courage and it is
believed that their previous defiant,
careless attitude will entirely forsake
them when the critical time comes.
Although they are allowed almost
every table delicaoy the well stocked
larder Of the oGicsr's kitchen afsrds
they have but little appetite and spend
slssplsss nights.

ly Colorado, is overcrowded with news
papers and newspaper enterprises,
there are counties in Illinois which
have only the most primitive country
weeklies or dailies. Euterprising men,
looking for new fields to develop, can
not do better than to look up some of
the cities of Southern Illinois having
from 5000 to 10000 population The
surrounding fields of Indiana, Ken
tucky and Missouri also offer some
good opportunities.

Taking it all over suppose Colorado

enough.
/ talked with some advertisers about
it. They said the Globe covers the
field, is neutral in politics, independent t
in other things and does everything pos
sible to keep down town rows and fac

TO have only one paper in the town as
they can reach nearly all the people at

This idea is growing down in Kansas. i.
Leavenworth, city larger than Colo

towns the sire of Canon rarely have
over two weeklies.
In some places where the third week

merchants have gone together and
practically agreed not to support any
additional papers. This builds up bet
ter papers and is cheaper for the mer :
