CITY SELECTS A
WORKHOUSE SITE
LAND BETWEEN CEMETERY
AND ELYSIAN PARK
Officials Decide to Set Aside Eight
Acres on Which to Erect Con-
crete Quarters for the
Chain Gang

The city authorities have selected a site
for city workhouse near the heart of
Los Angeles, thus abandoning any further
idea of uniting with Los Angeles county
In some arrangement for the Joint care of
prisoners.
On a tract of eight acres between the old
Calvary cemetery and Elysian park space
will be cleared for the future abode of
many of the chain gang prisoners.
The site is part of big tract owned by
the city off Bishop street, about 500 feet
north of Buena Vista. The land is pre-
cipitous in spots and is in a hilly section,
but with the abundant labor which the
chain gang affords it will in time be con-
verted into an ideal place for it's purpose.
Fireproof Plans
Concrete buildings will be erected on a
plan which will permit of additions as the
needs require. This will insure cleanli-
ness, economy in care and fireproof quail
tiles.
The arrangements were made yesterday
by the lands committee of the city coun-
Gil with Acting Chief Paul Fammer,
Park Superintendent John Morley and two
members of the board of public works dis
cussing the project. All seemed greatly
pleased, especially as the outlay required
will be small in proportion to the gains
The report will be made to the city coun-
Gil on Monday
Much complaint has been made about
the crowded condition of the city Jail, and
also about the long hauls required in get
ting the chain gang into sections where
most of this labor is employed. This haul
will be reduced through the new arrange
ment.

DIES FOR KILLING
WOMAN AND CHILD
Negro Hanged at SoIomonsviIIe on
Conviction of Having Committed
Particularly Atrocious
Double Murder
By Associated Press.

By Associated Press.
SOLOMONSVILLE, Ariz., July Evil
liam Baldwin, negro, was hanged by the
sheriff of this county here today for the
double murder which he committed near
Roosevelt, Ariz., January 81.
The crime for which William Baldwin
today paid the death penalty was COM
mitted on the morning of January 81,
1907, on the ranch of Harvey Morris, two
or three miles from the town of Roose-
welt. Mrs. Morris and her 5-year- old
daughter, Aminta, were assaulted and
murdered their Threats being cut and
their bodies hacked and mutilated in a
horrible manner. The murder occurred
during the absence of the husband and
father in the town of Roosevelt.
Baldwin came running into Roosevelt,
where he had been employed as a laborer
and gave the first intimation of the MUIR
ders.
Blamed Mexicans
He was himself slightly wounded and
claimed he was injured in defending the
woman and child from assault by two
MeXcans, a few hundred feet from the
Morris house His story vas not be-
lieved, and he was taken into custody.
Indian trailers were employed, but no
trace of the Mexicans could be found and
the trailers declared the tracks of the
guilty man were those of Baldwin. Bald
win was taken to Globe, where an effort
was made to lynch him, but the angry
populace were outwitted by the sheriff,
who spirited the prisoner away while
Judge Frederick S. Nave, armed with
shotgun, addressed the mob, counselling
good order.
Judge Nave called a special grand jury
and Baldwin was indicted while held in
Tucson for safe keeping. When Judge
Nave resentenced the prisoner to be
hanged he announced that he had made
his peace with God and thanked the
sheriff and the court for having saved
him from the mob last February.

This is Worth Saving.

The following simple homemade
mixture is said to relieve any form of
Rheumatism or backache, also cleanse
and strengthen the Kidneys and Blad-
der, overcoming all urinary disorders,
if taken before the stage of
Bright's disease: Fluid Extract Dande-
lion, one-half ounce; Compound Kar-
gon, one ounce; Compound Syrup Sar-
saparilla, three ounces. Mix by shak-
ing well in a bottle and take in tea
spoonful doses after meals and at bed
time.
A well-known authority states that
these ingredients are mainly Of vege-
table extraction, and harmless to use,
and can be obtained at small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy. Those
who think they have kidney trouble
or suffer with lame back or weak blad-
der or Rheumatism, should give this
prescription a trial, as no harm can
possibly follow its use, and it is said
to do wonders for some people.

Ethics in the Territory.

A lawyer in the Indian Territory
named McGann was the attorney for a
farmer who had killed neighbor. Nc
Gam got the man out on bail on the
plea of justifable homicide, or some
thing of the kind, and the farmer i'm
mediately took his gun and killed the
chief witness against him. Naturally
this nettled the sheriff and the judge,
and they offered $500 reward for the
murderous farmer. "Say," said Nc
Gam to the sheriff, twill you give me
that reward If get him?" EYES," the
sheriff replied, and McGann rode out
to the hiding place of his client. The
farmer came up, and NcGann shot
him, took the body back to town and
demanded the reward. "How about
this, N1cGann?" asked another lawyer.
do you think it is in accordance with
the ethics Of the legal profession to
take advantage of your client in that
manner?' ethics be bIowed !" snorted
McGann, "I killed him IN another
case."-Argonaut.
