The silence of the pad few days regarding the progress of the great
war on the various fronts is ominous to say the least of it. Surely war of
such gigantic proportions cannot be waged without the occurrence of some
great event in such a period of time. It is hardly likely that the millions of
men in the east ami west are resting on their guns and watching each other
over the entrenchment.> without making some effort to break a way through.
And yet we hear nothing excVpt the relation of some flimsy event that hardly
seems worth recording especially in relation to the titanic whole. Is it that*
the people who are censoring the news throw us those little incidents as a
sop to partially apjreuse our appetites
It is a fact which ought to bring consolation, maybe, to the hard working
members of the Fourth estate that nearly all the governors of Alaska have
been chosen from the ranks of the newspaper calling. Governor Swineford
wa? o e. Governor Clark was a Washington correspondent for the Seattle
Post Intelligencer and Governor strong was also one. and a good one. Gov
ernors Swineford and C ark returned to the profession after their occupancy
o' the guhermitot a! chair and Governor Strong will probably do likewise.
There is some peculiar fascination about the newspaper calling. It can hard
ly be that a man likes the opportunity of being able to say what he wants to
say in print because that ambition gradually fades away. If there are some
pleasant moments in newspaper work there are also the reverse, and a great
many of them, thank you. Where newspaper men please themselves mostly,
perhaps, is in the pleasure of the work and its results. A newspaperman is
usually paying attention to getting a good story while wiser folks are pay
ing attention to get: ng money. The reporter usually prefers a scoop to dol
lars, and while tins may keep him jk>oi* it keeps him alive. Ah, well, in Al
aska. at least, the scribes seem to hob! their own with the lawyers for once
m political prot\ moot, and that’s worth something, although the advice of
punch to those about to got married might be given to those who are about
to begin newspaper work. That advice is “Don't.”

IN SHADOW OF Si VFFOFD
PHOENIX, Aris.. July 13.—Before
July 23 the live murderers who were
saved from the Florence penitentiary
gallows May 28 only by an eleventh
hour reprieve will again stand in the
shadow of the scaffold. The reprieves
were for nine weeks’ duration. By
the law the men must hang before
July 23,
But Governor Hunt of Arizona,
whose fight against capital punish
ment has saved the five from death
so far. refuses to sign the necessary
papers or fix the execution dates. He
refuses to be a party to the execu
tions* Ami the five men are confident
that the “big governor” will never let
them hang.
On May 28 the Arizona prison at
Florence was the scene of one ot the
most dramatic events in criminal his
lory. N. B. Chavez, Eduardo Herez,
Miguel Heraita. Francisco Rodriguez
and Ramon Villaloboz donned their
clothes that day. It seemed that their
long fight against the extreme pen
alty had ended in defeat. The gal
lows was ready, the witnesses assem
bled in the tower where the five were
to be hangt! A desperate last min
ute battle to save them was being
waged all over the state. The par
don board, which had power of life
and death over them was appealed to,
at first in vain. Secretary Bryan and
General Francisco Villa asked mercy
for them—the laWer on the ground
that they had not received fair trials.
Federal Judge Sawtells refused a writ
of habeas corpus for the five, and de
nied their lawyers the right of ap
peal from his decision. When it
seemed that every device had failed
the pardon board weakened and
granted the nine weeks reprieve.
The fact that the pardon and re
prieve power was vested exclusively
in this board was due to the fact that
Governor Hunt made a strenuous
campuign in favor of a constitutional
amendment abolishing the gallows
from Arizona. The voters turned
against him on that issue. Although
they elected him, they rejected his pet
amendment, and instead adopted one
stripping him of his pardon and re- j
prieve power and giving it to the
board of three.
Shortly after his llrst inauguration,
February 14, 1912, Hunt announced
his opposition to capital punishment
and proposed to eliminate it from his
state. He emphasized this stand by
respiting from time to time, the mur-,
derers then under sentence of death.
This created dissatisfaction through
out Arizona. Pending the next elec
tion when the anti capital punishment
amendment was to be voted, Hunt
continued his policy of reprieving
each slayer when his execution date
came near. He stumped the state de
claring he eared more for the aboli
tion of hanging than for his own re
election.
When the voters went against it,
Hunt fought the new amendment in
the lower courts, was defeated went
to the supreme court, and was again
defeated. So he was deprived of his |
pardon power and the condemned men
were apparently helpless.
The pardon board met and fixed the
death date. With two weeks in which
to work, Hunt and his friends started
a new fight against the execution.
Ministers discussed the case in the
pulpits all kinds of organizations
passed resolutions either favoring or
condemning what some termed., legal
ized murder.” Leagues were formed,
petitions circulated. Hunt appealed
to the New York newspapers, and the
publicity they gave his cause brought
such a huge volume of protest to the
pardons board that a staff of clerks
was employed to handle the mail.
Great pressure was brought to bear
on C. 0. Case, superintendent of pub
lic instruction, and Frank Trott, both
members of the board. They waver
ed, but finally stood firm. Wiley E.
Jones, attorney general and third
member of the board, always stood
pat.
The Legislature was appealed to—
the House adopted a memorial
against the executions.^ Then, the day
before the hangings, came the inter
vention of Bryan and rapid fire series
of events leading up to the last min
ute reprieves.

DAWSON.—A. L. Dominy and
Thomas Boyd were the prospectors
who met with the mysterious death
on Swift creek, a tributary of the
Hootalinquu, 100 miles or so from the
Yukon. Dominy is understood to
have hailed from lx>ne Fine, Cali
fornia, and to have left a family
there. Boyd is believed to be a
Scotchman, and to have a brother in
a Scotch regiment. Inspector Bell
of the Royal Northwest Mounted
Police, has gone to investigate. It is
believed by those who were at and
close to the scene that the men died
of scurvy.
A ledge carrying fret1 gold has been
found in the Tolovana district and has
been traced for nearly three miles
along the left limit of Livengood
creek, where gold was first discover
ed in the camp. The ledge is twelve
feet wide and promises to develop in
to a big proposition. It is being in
vestigated by the quartz miners.
