The return smile was of tender com

thousand was correct.
But you said they were to be sent

the new manager, leaning back lux

they could do double the quantity in

He rose. Perhaps you would like
to see the miracle?" he said as he
opened the door next to his room.
A girl typist was taking down in

Justice with Mercy.


Justice with Mercy.
Abraham Lincolns weakness, IL it
can be called a weakness, was ten
dency, in matters not involving great
or general issues, to let his heart run
away with his head. 1t was difficult
for him to resist plea for n pardon
for man who had been condemned
to be shot or hanged. His inclination
to temper justice with mercy saved
many innocent lives during the civil
war;" said William o. Stoddard to Il
representative Of Success Magazine.
Il remember one day when he was
heels over head In work and had spent
nearly all OF the previous night at his
desk, a delegation called at the White
House to intercede for a certain no

This is a parable. He who runs
may read or, to use the modern YER
sion, he who travels per Mercedes will
see the world.
There was once a too oldat-forly
merchant. He had toiled-toiled unto
grayness.
But fortune had not come.
He pared the point Of a quill pen Che
remembered his father using one in
that very room), and gazed gloomily
at an ancient inkstand filled with
viscous, tarlike mass. And the spirit
that was in him evaporated and drled
up like his ink, with only the dreGs OF
gall and iron left behind.
He thought of the days Of fret and
worry, the nights of cramping pen
work, when he had set till the small
hours checking Eiffel Towers Of fig
ures and writing letters which an
office boy had smudSed into gray indie
cipherability with the aid Of copying
book and a brush charged with solid
sloppiness.
He thought of the headaches and
the restless nights in which he lived
again through the petty annoyances Of
the day, and as he dispatched boy
with message Che had always hated
telephones he decided to end it all.
So he retired and lived economically
in the suburbs, and another man
reigned in his stead. This Is the pro
logue.

forty merchant again visited his old

Congress, a small home and some money in cash making up the balance Under a bond in the sum of $30,000, Dr. Dennett began the work of administra- tor, taking charge of the business, and looking after all details toward turning it into cash. His final ac- count shows that he was charged with a total of $14,s37.23 by the appraisers, and credited with s4,356.s4, leaving a cash balance to be distributed among the heirs in the sum of $10.4S0.39.
 Credits were itemized as $1,330.79 paId out for accumulated debts of de- ceased, $1, 400 as allowance to fam fly, $22s.65 for burial, $62.10 expense of probating the estate, and general ex- penses connected with caring for the estate amounting to $593.sO. The commission allowed at :, ,, and per cent amounted to S741.50. These figures give cash balance of $10.- 4sO.39 to be divided among the three heirs, one half going to the widow, and the other half to the two children. Beside this money there are two build ing located in Congress, which are va lued at $450.
 In speaking of the closing up of this estate, Judge Hicks took occasion to praise the administrator in high terms, explaining how carefully and success fully he had looked after the interests of the heirs.

MEXICAN FIGHTER IS BOUND
 OVER.
(From Thursday s Daily.)


 Ramon Cardenas, one of the party that is accused of assaulting Deputy Sheriff Oliphint while on duty at Crown King, was l,fore Justice Tal- bot yesterday, and rss bound over to appear before tLr g.ead jury, his bond being placed at s-a,. The story of the trouble was de-s..i n the hearing by Ohphint, and is mr,h the same as has already been -ed.
 It seems that VI in front of a public resort in Grown King, Oliphint heard shots near ty, and started to investigate the supposed row. He met with quite large gang of Mexi- cans, but could get no information as to the shooting. Later he ran into four of these Mexieans, who were in- elined to be troublesome, and before be had an opportunity to get away from them the cutting affray occur red. He positively identified Cardenas as one of the four with whom he had trouble, and believes he is the man that held him while another Mexican used heavy clasp knife.
 The wounds inflicted by the Mexi- can knife wielder are now we'll heal ed, and Oliphint is anxious to run down the man who did the cutting. As is always the case in attempting to get the facts from these people in court. nothing definite was to be learned from the defendant. He answered ques- tions in a manner to say as little as possible, and fell back upon his ignOr> anee of the English language when any pointed query was put to him.
 There is some likelihood of the county officials picking up the chief actor in !. the cutting affray, although nothing is, to be learned with reference to- the facts. It is reported that a clue to the whereabouts of the Mexican who wielded the knife has been picked up during the past few days, and that it is not at all unlikely that the tip may prove to be authentic
 While awaiting further develop ments Cardenss will be held pris- Oner in the county jail in default of bail, and an effort will be made to ar rest the chief actor in the row which resulted in serious injury to Deputy Sheriff Oliphint.
 Attorney J. C.. Forest represented the defendant at the preliminary ex- animation.

EAGIEs WILL NOT ENTER.
To Take No Part in Vonns contest for
 Piano.

Because of the strict regulations with reference to the entrance of any subor- dinate lodge of Eagles in any contest, and for the reason that special &C., tion would be necessary to allow of it, with probability of some sane tion being necessary from the Grand Lodge, the local lodge has announced that it will take no part in the voting contest for handsome piano. With out effort or announcement the officers of the local aerie have been in receipt of several hundred voting coupons from friends of the order, and these coupons will likely be voted as a whole by consent of all members to some other organization or person or possibly returned to those who have do- mated them.
 Interest in the piano contest has grown within the past week, and the beautiful instrument will not be won without a ballot struggle of no small proportions. Several prominent per sons have accumulated large numbers of these coupons, but it is not yet made public in what direction these big punches of votes are to be east.

Cate Benefit Will Call Out A Big
 Attendance
(From Saturdays DaiIy.)


 Tomorrow afternon the benefit baseball game in the interest of Harry Cate will be played at the baseball park. Tickets, which for the past week have been on public sale about town, are selling at a rate to promise a big turnout, and it is expected that the top-notch attendance of the summer will take part in the roofing.
 Those who have not already secur- ed tickets of admission are advised to do so today, and thus avoid the crowd at the gate just before the game is called. All those who are included in the line up of the Prescott team are reported in good trim, and the team from Fort Whipple, as has always been the case, is expected to give good ac- count of itself.
 There are seevral changes in the Whipple team that will prove of in- terest to the fans, chief among them being the transfer of Mowdy to first base and Jaeoby taking his place in the box. Grabb will call the game, and do the best he knows how to um- pire the nine innings. Following is the line up of the two teams:

HE GETS RETRIEVE FROM GOVERNOR
 K|BBEY Cochise Murderer Is Granted 30 Days
 Grace
Fighting Chance For
 Slayer of A Sheriff
I or
(From Saturdays Daily.)

Chappo, one of the murderers of for
 mer Sheriff Arthur Wight of Cochist county at Black Diamond of that county little more than two year. ago will not be hanged on Aug. II the day set for his execution, says the Arizona Republican.
 Governor Kibbey yesterday granted him a reprieve of thirty days. The matter was laid before the governor some time ago by District Attorney Thomas Flannigan of Cochise county, who defended Chappo at his trial The application for clemency was based largely on the variableness of juries.
 The murdered man at the time of his death was deputy sheriff at Black Dia- mon, and had a man in jail charged with cattle stealing. Three Mexicans, among them ChappO, came to release him. Chappo about that time was about sixteen years of age. One of his companions was about thirty-six, and the other was past forty. The deputy sheriff resisted their efforts to free the prisoners, and in a fusilade in which about fifteen shots were fired by the officer and the Mexicans, the deputy sheriff was killed.
 The Mexieans were arrested and jointly indicted for murder, but they were granted separate trials. The oldest was tried first, was found guilty, and was sentenced to the peni- tentiary for life. On practically the same evidence the next oldest man was convicted of manslaughter, and was given ten years at Yuma. Chappo was next tried, and though the boy was no more directly connected with the killing of the deputy sheriff than his companions he was found guilty of murder in the first degree, and sen fenced to be hanged. An appeal was AohOh bhC NOuANY bub bhO judgment was affirmed, and the only recourse was to the governor. An ap- plication was made for communication of the sentence, and then arose a ques- tion which had been up before-the power of the governor to commute, which, by the way, has not yet been definitely settled.
 The governor lately received let ter from the wife of the murdered man in which she joined in the appeal for elemency. She said that she had tes- tifed at the trial of the boy that she had seen him fire the shot which had killed her husband. She said that she thought so at the time, but since then she had realized that in the confusion of the moment when so many shots were being fired, she could not know which had been the fatal one.

 When questioned about this new de- parture, MT. MeDonald yesterday af- ternoon said that he considers this change to his advantage for several reasons. He explained how the stress of work had become too much for him, and how he could devote his attention to the weekly edition to better advau- tage and with more profit in the long run. When asked whether his re- tirement from the daily field would be permanent, he replied that he might start it again at any time, but that for the immediate future he would con- fine his efforts to the weekly.
 He expects to spend much of his time in the country where he has much col leeting to do, and declares he will make his weekly paper the best of its kind in the southwest. In speaking of his plant, he said he would keep it just as it is, and would be ready on days mo- tiee to resume the daily edition, when the time comes for him to again tackle 1t. He intimated that he has many warm friends and few busi- ness and political opponents that he may want to pay his respects to at the proper time, and that when politics again grow interesting he will be heard from with the daily edition.

ESTATE PRoBATED AND FINALLY
 SETTLED.
(From Fridays Daily)

In the probate court yesterday the final account of Dr. John Dennett, Jr.. as administrator of the estate of A. L. Sroor, deceased, was allowed, approv- ed and settled by Judge Hicks. In reporting this final settlement the court spoke in high terms of the excellent management of the affairs of the es- tate during the eleven months re- quired to clear up all details, and the returns now appOrtioned among the heirs.
 At the time of his death, Sroor, an Armenian by birth, left young WI dow and two children. His estate consisted of mercantile business in
