SHER|FFS MAY
Do EXECUTING
Arizonans Plan Initiating a
Bill to Change Method of
Executing Criminals.

Phoenix, Ariz-. Dec. ga bill pro-
viding that a condemned murderer
shall be executed by the sheriff of the
county in which he is convicted in
stead of by the superintendent of the
state penitentiary, may be initiated and
submitted to the voters Of Arizona at
the next election
Jones FavOrs II.
Though nothing definite has been
done toward initiating such a measure
the matter is being freely discussed in
Phoenix and il is expected that petit
tons VIII be placed in circulation. In
view of the recent occurrences at
Florence, little difficulty in securing
the necessary signatures is expected.
Attorney general Wiley Jones has given
the plan his unqualified approval
Recent occurrences at Florence are
undoubtedly responsible for this move"
said the attorney general. Two men
convicted Of murder have been tried
for insanity in the superior court of
Pinal county. One came from COchise
county and was pronounced sane; one
was from Maricopa county and was
found insane. No doubt Cochise and
counties would have much
rather had these inquiries conducted by
their own authorities.
Better to Scatter Them
Executions at the state prison no
doubt have an undesirable effect upon
the prisoners there. 1t would be better
to have the executions scattered among
the various county jails. where prison
ars are usually held only a short time.
Then one man would not be likely TO
come in contact with more than one
execution and the effect would not be
the same as at the prison, where long
term convict stands the chance of liv-
ing through a number of black Fri
lays"
The plan Of having murderers exc
euted at the state prison was adopted
some seven years ago Previous to that
nurderers were hanged by the county
;heriffs.

The number Of cattle slaughtered
cannot be actually ascertained, Of

at the total of hides brought out by
the Villista government through the
port of FL Paso.
In the two years ended December 1.
1915, Villa territory yielded to buyers
in this country ,O40 cattle hides.
Cattle brought over the international

annual expectation from northern
Mexico of 94,267 hides and 1898 cat
lie, giving a total of only 222.225 ami
