EXECUTE RICHESON.
Minister ElectrOcuted This Morning
For Avis Linnell's Murder.

Boston, May 21.-Clarence V. T.
Richeson, the slayer of Avis Linnell,
died in the electric chair at 12:17
o'clock this morning.
The former clergyman awaited
death impatiently throughout. He
ate almost nothing and did not at
tempt to sleep between nightfall and
the hour of his doom.
He was attended constantly by
Chaplain Herbert W. Stebbins and
the Rev Herbert S. Johnson. The
voice of the man about to die rang
through the small chamber of the
condemned as he sang his favorite
hymns in unison with his spiritual
advisers.

1t was Ty Cobb who acted as a
peacemaker when the players, who
declared on Saturday that they
would not don a Detroit uniform
again until his suspension was lifted,
were approached by Frank j. Ma
win, the president of the Detroit club,
after the latter's conference with
President Ban Johnson, of the
American League. Cobb told his
teammates that he had appreciat-
ed what they had done for him in
running the risk of being expelled
from the American League and
thereby being practically blacklist
ed, but that he did not want them
to jeopardize their future as ball
PLAYERS by continuing to refuse to
play until he had been reinstdted.
Every one of the recalcitrant players
finally agreed, after being assured
by President Navin that the Detroit
club would meet any penalties in
the way OF fines that might be heap
ed upon them for their unprecedent-
ed action, to return to the game.

There was not a drop of perspiration

upon the ring ledge and shouted at
Smith, "Can't you see that FLYNN is
buttingS' Johnson added his voice to
that of Burns, and there was q look
Of concern in the champion s eyes.
Referee Smith pulled the men apart
and shook a warning finger at Flynn.
Flynn, whose fighting blood was up,
yelled cxcitedly: "He's holding me!
He's holding mel Why don I you make

Smith turned to johnson and told
him that the charge against him WAS

Then Smith waved them together again
and when the order to resume hghting
was given, Flynn went at the champion
head on. Once again johnson claspea

try as he might, the fireman couId no1

mad clear through and he Immediately
resorted to butting again. while Jobn-
son shouted to the referee for help,
and Professor Burns, on the ring ledge,
waved his arms and cried aloud about
the unfairness of things.

have to put the men asundeE and

And here is the significant point. for
those who know Johnson and know of
his past battles and his. past spells Of
training, When he was himself he new
er allowed any one to take liberties
with him. An extra hard punch either
in a practice bout or in a real fight
brought retaliation from the champion
in the shape Of rights and lefts. But
here today he allowed man lighter

take liberties with him. II he had

They came together with a clash In the

friends who expected to sec him stop

and put UP his usual speech OF excuse
when Smith pulled them asunder After
another spasm Of holding on Johnson
part and buttng on Flynn's during which
Johnson's eyes said as plainly as words:
MI Referee. when are you going TO give
ME this fight on foui?
Fred Torn0f or the state police and one
OF his men clambered clear over the
heads OF the spectators and up into the
ring. AT this time the referee had the
heavyweights standing apart and the
captain went between them and threw
both arms aloft.
Big Boost for Flynn.
I'VE will have no more fghtlng of this
kind" he said, and the crowd felt that
the battle for the championship was at
an end.
Referee Smith pondc cred few minutes
and then announced his decision In favor
of Johnson. for the reasons already ex-
planned
one nSnt tolloNer or many years eX-
perience said
What fool that man Flynn Is. He
had the championship within his grasp,
but tossed his chance away, He will never
get a crack at Johnson again"
While. as stated before, 1t was the ma
1ority opinion that Flynn would have
come out on top, 1t is not likely that he
would have accomplished Johnsons de-
feat by dint of Furnishing. F1ynn's best
effort all through the mill was a double
handler body punch delivered at close
quarters.
Tho result will be a. boost for Flynn
and q setback for Johnson. The glamour
has gone from the black MANS reputa-
ton. He may claim that he was taking
his time and protecting his champion
ship and that he was made the victim ol
| foul play by Flynn but the fact remains
and the opinion exists that he was
roughed to a stapdstill by man inferior
| to himself in weight and inches and In
most OF the things that go to make UT
pugilistic excellence.

THE BEST STORM IN
 HISTORY OF WILLIAMS

Stockmeu in this vicinity, who q few weeks ago were shaking their heads in a dubious fashion and casting worried glances toward the sunlit sky and wondering if this was to be another dry. disastrous year for them. are today wearing smiles that won't come off.
 The rain and snow of last week has in their opinion saved thous ands of cattle and sheep through out Arizona and New Mexico from death by drouth Also saved many cattlamen from financial ruin. Not alone are the cattle and sheep men jubilant in spirits over the storm: ranchers and others throughout the southwest have been made happy by the plentiful downfall oi snow and rain.
 The citizens of Williams are also wearing the smile that won't rut off, for only few weeks ago this community was destitute of domes tic water, while today the public and private wells are full to over flowing, the dams above town have received thousands of gallons oi water within the last week and there are thousands of gallons yet to flow down the hillsides and re plenish the scant supply they have held for the past few weeks.

NEWSY NOTES OF
 COUNTY DIVISION
THE LAST WORD

Before the next issue of this pa per shall appear, the first session of the state legislature of Arizona will have assembled. organized, passed an act submitting to the people constitutional amendment providing for the recall of judges, elected Hon Marcus A. Smith and Hon. Henry F. Ashurst as the first United States senators from Ari zona, and will have heard read for the first time bill providing for the creation of another county from what is now the western end of Coconino.
 The first session of the legisla- ture of the new state will mark an epoch ;n the history of Arizona. There is not today law upon our statute books that is not there through the sufferance of body of men, wise though they may have been, yet ninety per cent of whom never were within the borders of the former territory, and who knew nothing whatever, personally. of our needs. necessities or condition.
 Fortunate, indeed, is the new state in having elected as it's first lawmakers a truly representative body of men, men who are familiar with the states condition, men who are progressive in thought, actio,' aud spirit, and men who, from all we have been able to learn of them. are truly and we'll qualified for the high and responsible duties they are called upon to assume.
 Fortunate also are we in having in the executive chair at this i'm portant time man of the execu tive ability, wisdom, business at, tainment and legislative exper- fence of Governor Hunt. No man has made wider or deeper study Iof the state's affairs than he; no man is better acquainted with ac-. tual conditions than he, and no man could bring more natural ability to the solution of the var ious problems with which the first state administration will be con- fronted than he. His, as he has truly said, will be business ad ministration and, from all we have been able to learn of the personnel of the legislature, it too will be composed of body of business men.
 When. therefore, the citizens of the western end of Coconino county go to Phoenix next week to exer. else their constitutional right of pe- tition, since the nature of that pe- tition is purely business matter, they will meet that class Of men from whom they have least to fear business men. They will meet
