FIRST HANGING AT
 THE ARIZONA PEN
Action Took Place on Last Friday
 But Has Just Been Made Public.

PHOENIX, April 2O-The first hanging to take place in the state prison since Governor Hunt took office was carried out on Friday of last week but did not become public until today
 The hanging will not be entered upon the books of the prison as of ficial, for the man whose life was forfeited took the law into his own hands," and sent his soul into etern- ,ity without consulting the warden or other prison officials.
 Jesus Nazzarro, sent up from Pinal county over a year ago to serve a sentence of from five to fifteen years for assault with intent to commit murder, had ben placed in solitary confinement when he began acting in an cratic manner earlier in the week. On Thursday he attempted to beat out his brains upon the walls of his cell. Thursday night he had quieted down and it was thought his mental state was be-
 
 he WIS found hanging in his cell, towel tightly knotted about his neck and fastened to a bar of his cell forming the medium of his unofficial hanging.
 Nazzaro had ben sent up for an unprovoked attack upon a man at a section house at Florence. He had never sen the man before but drew a gun and began shooting the first time he laid eyes upon ,him. At vari- ous times since his incarceration he had acted in a strange manner but each time he seemed to recover his equipoise. A coroner's jury found that he came to his death by hang ing at his own hands,

2 ESCAPING BANDITS KILLED BY PIMA
 OFFICERS


 TUCSON, April 20.-The climax of the region of terror which has existed
 for long period in the Greaterville
 district was reached yesterday when c pitched battle between two Pima coun- ty deputies, and a band of Mexican
 cattle rustlers took place in a lonely
 gu1ch near there. Two Mexicans, ,mem- Ibers of the Leon family are now dead
 and the Mexican Jose Maria is dying.
 An automobile containing sherin
 Forbes, County Attorney Hilzinger, County Physician Pratt and two dep
 uties eft for the scene of the/battle.
 The Greaterville district is close to the
 Mexican border and since the trouble in that country it has been impossible to extradite murderers. The result is numerous killings have ended in the lslayers rushing across the line and
 making frequent raids back into this section n
 On March 1, Loretta Yanez, aged 60
 owner of over 100 head of cattle disap- peared and her nephew, Ramon Barila, aged 25, was also reported missing. A month later the matter was reported at the sherin's office and a warrant sworn out for Antoni, Encinas who was suspected of doing away with the old woman.
 A week ago Encinas appeared at midnight in Greaterville and when an arrest was attempted opened fire on the officers. Fifteen shots were ex- changed and Encinas was thought to have been wounded but got away The sheriff then sent five deputies into that country to get him at any price. Deputies Renter and Moore were asleep in a shack Sunday night when two pals of Encinas appeared, drew guns and ordered them to leave the country
 Monday, the deputies quietly got the drop on the two men who had stuck them up the night before and placed them under arrest. Fearing a rescue if they remained in Greater vile with the prisoners they took them to nearby gulch and made camp. During the night the two  Leon brothers and the prisoners ap- parently aided by friends made an to overpoYer the deputies and get away. In the resulting bat tie the two Leons went to their deaths before the fire of the Pima county officers The manner in which Jose Maria, who is said to be dying waa is not known but it is be- lieved he was aiding the captured Leons to make their break for liberty.
 The missing woman is believed to have ben done away with by Encinas She is the widow of a man killed by the celebrated outlaw Martinez aliaa Casanova, two years ago. Encinas was trying to steal her cattle and it is now believed the missing nephew was in league with him.

Especial Dispatch to Era
 Phoenix, April 23.-The special session of the Second Legislature of Arizona, convened in accordance with the proclamation of the Governor, met at ten o'clock in the capital building with all the members present.
 The extra session was hastily or ganized by the reelection of Sims as President of the Senate and Brooks as Speaker of the house. There were no opposing candidates, the House electing Brooks unanimously on mo- tion of Proctor. who had been touted as his probable opponent.
 In the Senate an effort to establish a precedent for future extra sessions was put forth and President Sims, of Cochise County, began his service without the formality of an election
 In nearly every instance the old attaches and clerks were reelected, al- though L. F. Sweating, of Greenlee failed to be renamed Chief Clerk of the House. This appointment went to Peter Munch, of Nogales, who last session served as Assistant Chief Clerk.
 The work of the extra session was begun by hearing read the Governors message. which had been transmitted immediately after the session con- vened. The message was read to the legislature by the Governors Secre- tary. The Governor in his@message said he appreciated the fact that there were many subjects of legislation which should receive attention but the results of the first session had shown him that concentration of thought brought the most desired results, con sequently he had given the legislature but two subjects upon which to 1egis- late, i. e. the appropriations and the The Governor said that politics and The Governor said that politics and the special interests had handicapped the work of the first session. He urged speed in consummating the work before the extra session. No was conveyed of a succeed ing extra session. In the Senate Miss Bertha Throm was again named as the Page for that body.

SANITARY BOARD COMING.

Will Investigate Charges Against
 Local Cattle Inspector.
 On Tuesday evening, May 4th, the Arizona Live Stock Sanitary Board, composed of James A. Johnston Chairman; Sam B. Bradner, Clerk. and Richard Brady and Ike Dead man, members, will arrive in Clifton for the purpose of holding a meet ing with the Grenlee County Cat tie Growers Association.
 The meeting will be held in Cliff ton as a result of charges which have been preferred against Cattle Inspector Miller by the local associa- tion and the Board is coming primari- ly for the purpose of thoroughly in- vestigating these charges.
 To say the least Inspector Miller is persona non grata with the local cattlemen. He is charged with in efficiency and pernicious meddling. Furthermore local cattlemen contend that the Board should have appoint ed local man as inspector for this county. MT. Miller was formerly connected with the Chiricahua Cat tie company in Graham county.
 MT. Miller states that he is pleas ed with the coming of the Board and courts the fullest investigation. He further states that he has done nothing except his plain official duty and is glad of the opportunity to face his accusers in person before the Board.
