death sentence of Magdaleno
Sabboloz, the condemned Mexi-

governor refused to interfere

A strong petition was sent t.
Governor Curry in behalf of the
condemned men, praying that

muted to life. The governor,
however, after thoroughly con-
sidering the cases of the two
men, decided to give Sabboloz a
life sentence and TO allow the
execution to proceed with ANA

eager to take up arms to pro-
tect the lives and homes of his

with Capt. Thos. Rabb, our es-
teemed and venerable citizen,
and the Captain informs the

that the frost was gathering on

the bed and carpet were covered
with the pink flakes to a depth of
at least half an inch. The fame,
moreover, was still emitting the
curious flakes.
Then | heard the landlady below
moving about and preparing for
breakfast. This was enough to
rouse me to immediate action, for
l feared that If any fires were
turned on that the house might be-
come sufficiently heated to cause
an explosion. I ran downstairs
and voiced my alarm. Then l pro-
cured a box and swept the pink
flakes.
