       Roswell, N. M., Aug. 23.--This is the date set for the execution of Rosario Emillio, who killed his sweetheart, Antonita Carilla, two years ago while she was on her way from Lincoln to Roswell.  After his conviction he made a sensational escape from the Lincoln county jail.  A posse started after him, and trying to escape he fell over a high cliff and badly injured himself.  He succeeded in eluding his pursuers, but crawled to a nearby house for food, and this led to his capture in a few days later on Eagle Creek, in the foothills of the White Mountains.
