FRAZER AND GRANADA BE-
ING RESCUED

SOcorro, y. NJ, April 25.-Irvin Fra
er and Francisco Granada were
hanged at 4:52 O'Clock this morning
in the socorro county jail.
Just at sunise the men were led
from the court house. where they had
been confined under heavy guard since
3 O'Clock this morning, across a gale
~ to the Jail. where a scaffold had
/ been erected.
AS they stood on the traps, Frazer
asked the officers to make the execu-
ton as nearly painless as possible.
Unusual precautions were taken to
prevent any attempt to rescue the
men and the time of the execution
was kept secret. These precautions
we're due to the fact that the officers
had discovered that Frazer. while coh
fined at the penitentary at Santa Fe
awaiting execution. sent a letter TO
friends urging them to hold up the
train at Ia Joya, a small town SO
miles south OF Albuquerque, ana sseEse
him from the officers as they We're
bringing him here for execution.
Fearing that the friends of the con
demned man might try to carry out
the raouest the officers brought the
two prisoners here in a special car un-
der a guard OF 1s officers, all heavily
armed. The train. which is scheduled
to stop at La Joya, dashed through the
village at full speed. while officers
stood on the platform with rifles in
their hands.
Irwin Frazer was tried and convicted
for the murder of Deputy sheriffs
Thomas Hall and Al smithers of Luna
county in a fight November Z. 1911
between the officers and Frazer, John
Greer and Reynold Greer whom the
officers we're pursuing. John Greer

of fourteen persons, the big thing is
that she saved Martha Washington
from destruction in the fire which ruin
ed the house at 1914 Whitehall street at
1870 o'clock this morning
And Martha is a doll that Il little girl
can be proud of. with eyes that close,
and hair that is curly.
When Annie Clarke awoke in her
dark room this morning there was
something that caused her to choke, and
her eyes to smart. The room was full
of black smoke, and even as she sat up
startled, a tongue of fame shot out
from the closet door. Annie screamed,
and ran to the bed of her parents.
Children Saved in Choking Smoke.
The room was so fun of smoke at the
time that matches, which Mr. and Mrs
j, H. Clarke struck In the effort to find
their way to the beds of six sleeping
children. went out as fast as they were
scratched. But the Clarkes caught up
the children. Annie caught up her baby,
Martha, and they ran to arouse the rest
of the house
Across the hall was Mr.. and Mrs. H.
B. Forman and four children. In other
rooms were four boarders b. L. Robert
and his son, John Bowen. and Jesse
Thomas. Every one was sleeping
soundiy, with the flames against their
walls.
The Forman family aroused. another
little heroine developed in Augusta, the
uine-year-o daughter of that family
Nine'Year- Old Girl Remembers Boy.
Augusta Forman was the only one
who kept her head, it seemed. because
the grown folks had rushed out into the
night and had forgotten all about four
year-old William. who was sleeping
soundly in his bed. Augusta counted
heads, a. she stood in the glare of the
burning house, and then told them that
William was missing Her parents
rushed inside and pulled William, still
asleep, to safety.
The refugees found shelter in the
homes of their neighbors, and alarm
was given The ftremen overcame the
flames before they had spread to de-
structive size, and the greatest loss re-
counted this morning was most of the
clothes and furniture of the Clarke
family, and odd belongings of their
neighbors on the other side of the
house.
The fire began in closet in the bed
room Of the Clarke family. from a de-
fective tue, woodwork being ignited.
The fire probably had been smodering
in the tightly shut apartment for some
time before it burst into the heavy
smoke and the flame that aroused An
ME Clarke to the salvation of the fam
lily.
