fireplaces. When word came that more troops were on the way, the only reasonably level camp ground that could be located was an old graveyard. The graveyard was on hillside and was strewn with rocks ranging in size from great powders down to small pebbles. The coffins had been removed to some other spot several years before. Today the camp covers a space perhaps three acres in extent. Inside that space one would have difficulty in finding a rock as large as pea. It has been made fairly level, with the exception of some old graves that have not been filled in yet. Through the center runs wide, deep ditch, to carry off the water that may fall from the heavens any day or night Each tent has been carefully trenched to carry off rain water.
 A pipe line, laid on top of the ground, carries water from one of the city mains to the camp. A lit tie farther down the hill is tent with a sloping board floor and shower bath above. Incidentally it may be said that the men at camp No. 1 use the baths of the county jail, so every National Guardsman in or about Clifton is in a constant state of next to-godliness.
 All is as neat and trim as in any regular army camp. Comfort and recreation have not been overlooked. There is a Y. M. c. A. tent, with reading and writing tables. Writing paper, refreshments, sweet chocolate and newspapers can be purchased here or at the "canteen" maintained by Company F.
 Of course, the most important question is: How are they fed? The newspaper correspondents now sta toned here have been entertained at dinner at both camps and they are unanimous in their burning desire to join the national guard, for the food if for nothing else. The cooks-sev- eral of them, are from the regular army-are- real artists, and they are given plenty of raw material to work with. If the boys don't get home safe and sound it will not be because they have starved to death.
 A number of the guardsmen go to school when they are at home. There are several university cadets, exceedingly anxious to get back to Tucson and resume their studies. Others left high school to come to war. Captain Holzwarth was a teacher for a number of years and he is now conducting a night school for the high school students. So not all the education being absorbed by the militiamen is along military lines.
 And now about that medical corps. The people of Clifton think that their city water is quite good enough for anybody to drink, but Captain Huff man is not going to have any Of the men for whose health he is responsi- ble, taking chances. He has given strict orders that all water used for drinking purposes must be boiled. Even when a citizen soldier gets leave to go down town, where there is plenty of water. he carries a can-

MURDERERS WILL PRObAbY FACE
 SCAFF0LD
All Hope of Condemned Men Gone and Hunt Admits He Is PowerIess to Act Further; Kermeen is First on the List.

PHOENIX, Oct. 16-That the five hangings set for the next seven weeks at the state prison at Florence will occur is the general opinion of those in close touch with the situation.
 Even Gov. Hunt intimated today that he has about given up hope.
 T have exhausted every means I know of,' said the governor today, when questioned what new step would be taken to delay the hangings The time will come when all the parties responsible in the pushing of executions will have to pay for it." added the governor.
 Attorneys who have assisted the admit that they are at the end of their strings
 Dates for five hangings are set at the present time. w. w. Kermeen, who was sent up from Cochise Co. is to die Nov. 19; William Faltin, Atha Leonard and 5ohn Tomlin, all three of whom were found guilty in this county, are to die Nov 26, and Ramon Villalobo of Pinal county, on Dec. 10. The first four dates were set by the supreme court and the other by the superior court of Pinal county.
 Of the three from this county, Fall tin was found guilty of numbering his companion, while the other two are young boys who were given the death sentence for the murder of City Marshal Hi Peterson of Mesa.
 Frank Trott, chairman of the state pardon board, intimated yesterday that there would be a meeting of the board shortly At that time the mur- der cases probably will be consider ed.
 There are fifteen men under sen tence of death in Arizona. Of the ten whose execution dates are to be set shortly, several are the Mexicans who escaped the gallows last May through interference of former Sec retary of State w. J. Bryan.
 
 w. w. -Kermeen, who is the first one of the three murderers to be hanged, was convicted of the mur- der of J. F. Harrell in the Superior Court at Tombstone about a year ago. The crime for which he was sentenced was a most cowardly one and was committed on the 7th day of May, 1914. On that afternoon Ker- meen with Harrell left the city and went up Brewery Gulch on a supposed hunting trip. Kermeen returned but about week later when his body was found on the top of a ridge in Upper Brewery Gulch in a badly de composed condition with two small and watch which he was known to have on were missing. As soon as the body was discovered the officers began working on the case and found Kermeen had sold the ring and tried to sell the watch the next day after Harrell was missed. He left town shortly after that and was arrested in Fl Paso and brought back and tried. He admitted the killing to the officers. Kermeen is also wanted in California for the killing of woman of the underworld at Kermet, little mining camp in the northern part of the state.
