• ’ ■"<' ’ "IM,, in the county
j jail, of two Mexican murderers, An
tonio Flores and Geronimo Parra.
When the cell door was opened to
conduct Flores to the scaffold, both he
and Parra suddenly drew daggers,pre
| viously sharpened and concealed about
their persons, and made a desperate
attack on the deputies who had sur
rounded them. Parra attacked Jim
Hunter, who was guarding the cell
door. The rangers who were pres
ent drew their guns and covered him.
Fiores cried and said: “Some of you
shall go to hell with me to-day.” He
sprang at Ed Bryant and plunged his
dagger in Bryant’s clothes, repeatedly
attempting to reach a vital spot; how
ever he was covered and made safe
with’ hand-cuffs. He was placed on
the scaffold and heard the death
warrant read,and made a short speech
and soon passed into eternity. Before
going into the cell for Parra, Sheriff
Boon made a statement, that Parra
was a despeiate man, who had been
captain of a band of tough men, and
that he was going in the cell, and if he
attempted to injure any citizen of the
county, or his deputies, that he would
kill him in the ceil. But, when the
door was opened, and the order.
“Throw’ up your hands,” was given,
the prisoner’s hands went up; but,not
until several drawn rexolvers were
cocked and pointed in his face. The
prisoner was covered and hand*cuffed,
and led steadily to the scaffold where
the-death warrant was read. He made
a long talk. The black cap was ad
justed and the trigger pulled: the
body shot down to death. Parra s
head was almost severed from his
body and the blood gushed from un
der the black cap in every direction.
