Chappo's Time Extended.

Governor Kibbey has granted a respite to "EhappI" who Was sens fenced to be hanged in Cochise county. There seems to be consid- erable sentiment in his favor in that county. His story, as learned by a Prospector reporter is as follows;
 My hanie is Esperana Heredia, as is also my father, for whom I am named. 1 am the youngest of five children, and Will be twenty years old on the 11th of next September. have always worked hard, but have led an honest, upright life. Like the majority of young men working in mining camps, have drank some, vet never did an act that would iniure another, and still dm cCndenined to die for a murder I never committed. am innocent. When MT. Wright was killed 1 was in bed and the shoot ing awoke me. My life is dear to me, as 1 am young and healthy, and desire to live, but l never was coward, and if there is no remedy, and I must die for this crime I never committed, can and will die like man.
 ''I am told Governor Kibbey is humane, merciful man, and has said he has no power to commute my sen tence, but would do so if he could comply with the law. I pray to God he may see his way clear to save my life1 -l

Jerome Miners are Saving Thousands

Thriving Jerome has peculiar boy colt in force which it would seem is destined to work to the good of some of the miners living there. Just prior to the big Fourth of July cele- bration in Prescott the saloonmen of Jerome imported a fast stepping biped to lead the Jerome hose team in contest against that of Prescott.
 He was what is known in union cir cles as a "scab." A "scab" and skunk are just alike in the eyes of the union man and when the miners of Jerome heard who was to do the honors for their town they protested to the business men who were back ing the team but they were given to understand that they were off their beat. It was none of their business.
 The miners then served notice that the saloons and gambling joints would be boycotted if the "scab" was not invited to seek another field of labor, but he was not told. The races were pulled off and Prescott man skinned that Jerome importa- tion all hollow. He was then cut adrift but the miners were not through making the saloonists re- member it. The boycott is still on and the miners have put about $50,- 900 in the bank from the time it was started up to date besides sending SlO,000 out of the town.
 One of the prominent saloon men has rented d place in Prescott and will go into business there. Others will have to follow this lead it is said. The female warbler has been cast from the saloon and her voice is no more heard to echo down the noun tain sides.
 Now petition is being circulated and. signed by the miners requesting the city council to stop gambling in the town. The boys are determined to make it plain, where they stand.

A son of Mrs. Savage by former husband named Stone, is the only eye witness to the tragedy; he verifes the story of his mother, who asserts that Say age had been beating and threaten ing to kill her for some days.
 Savage went home after a day down town. When within twenty feet of the house Mrs. Savage called to him to stop. She ayers he an- swered with a threat and reached for the revolver in his hip pocket. ''Then l plunked it to him." declared the woman.
 Ed Thompson, who heard the shot, states that when he looked up he saw the son of Mrs. Savage on a bank be- hind Savage with winchester lev eled at him. Savage married at Denver three years ago. He was at that eime a Cripple Creek miner. shortly after his marriage he came here with his wife, who owned con siderable Bisbee property. Savage was 42. He was born at Portsmouth, Ohin

Summer Dlarrhoea ID Children.

During the hot weather of the sum- mer months the first unnatural loose ness of a child's bowels should have immediate attention, so as to check the disease before it becomes serious. All that is necessary is a few doses of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy followed by dose of castor oil to cleanse the system. Rev. NJ. O. Stockland, Pastor of the First NJ. E. Church, Little Falls, Minn., writes: "We have used Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy for several years and find it very valuable remedy, especially for summer disorders in children" Sold by all dealers in medicine.
