Who and Where Is sIshop.

The officials are becoming more and more impressed with the fact that Jim Burns, Oscar Wade and Charles Bishop are one and the same man, whose true name IS Charles Bishop. suspected of being the Camp Verde murderer. He IS said to have worked for . time near Blackberry under the name of Jim Burns, The officers are also becoming more and more convinced that the man of many names IS connected either re- motely or directly with the Black Jack" gang of outlaws, The head of the gang made a trip through this country, coming down overland from Utah last April. He was seeI by a deputy sheriff at Walnut creek and later by another ore al Jerome Junction but was not recognized al the time by either of these officers. The lack of recognition was mutual, for If the notorious outlaw had known of the official capacity of these men, it might have aroused his suspicion and led him tO have in- dulged in his usual pastime of talk ing a shot at them. All trace of the man was lost at Jerome Junction. It is known that be did not take up his residence there during his visit. but be succeeded in successfully covering up his trail when ke took his departure from there. IL IS highly probable that his course took hlm through the Verde valley and the proposed raid on the Camp Verde store may have been planned at that time. The only thing about this theory Is the fact that so far no trace has been obtained to connect any but one man with the crime.
 While the officials are pretty well convinced in regard to the above facts and theories of the Camp Verde murders. there is one point in which they are perfectly at sea, and that is as to the present whereabouts of the much wanted man. While they still express hope of their getting him, the immediate prospect of doing so IS by no means very flattering.

Located q Mauser Bullet.

The Louisville COurier-Journal of recent date contains the following concerning a young man well known in Prescott:
 Capt. Chas. D. Clay, Seventeenth infantry, |. .. A., IS ID this city, the guest of his cousin, John l Jacob The immediate cause of Capt. Clay s visit to Louisville was to have To- cated a Mauser bullet, which he has carried in his back since April last. This has been successfully done. Dr. Cartledge has made a photo graph of the upper part of Capt. Clsy's back. It showed the MauseI nesting between the second and third ribs The captain will have the bullet removed m Lexington next w,ak.
 Cat Clay is a grandson of Henry Clay and a nephew and nsmesake ol the late Chas. D. Jacob. He sailed for the Philippines with General Layton on the transport Grant, During the battle of March 9, near Manila, he was struck by the bullet which he still has in his body. He returned home in May and is now on sick leave"
 Captain Clsy was a lieutenant in the llth infantry, formerly sta toned at Whipple. He participated in the Cuban and Porto Riean cam pagns last summer. going direct 1 from Porto Rico to the Philippines, where he caught the Msuser.

POMP OF POWER.
Great Ceremony Attends the Nightly Locking of GibraItar's
 Gates.

Perhaps the favorite sight of Gibral. tar is the daily procession at sundown for the locking of the town gates. The keeper of the keys, looking very like a prisoner despite his uniform, marches through the town in the center of Q military guard, preceded by a regiment al band, which plays inspiring and fa- miliar tunes. The keys, of enormous size, are borne aloft before him as an outward and visible emblem of the vigi- lance of Britain in guarding her prime military treasure.
 On arriving at the gates the guard salutes, the martial strains strike up with a redoubled paean of triumph, while the great doors slowly swing to and are solemnly locked for the night. Then right-about-turn, and the process sion marches back to the convent to de- posit the keys in the governors keep ing, conveying by its passage an assur- nnce to the people and garrison that they may rest in peace.
 Once the gates are shut it were easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for any unauthorized per son to go into Gibraltar. Even a be- lated officer returning from pig-stick- ing beyond the lines would be confront ed by so many formalities and the ne cessity of finconvenicncings so many high personages that he would probably pre- fer to encounter the discomforts of a Spanish inn without.

A NAME WANTED.
Australia Ia Trying to Find c suit- able One for Her New
 Capital.

The correspondence columns of the Australian papers are teeming with novel and original suggestions for the style and title of the federal capital of the early future. "Cooktown" is pro posed as a posthumOus compliment to Capt. Cook, the Columbus of the Aus tralian seas. 'Ophir," the Biblical gold en city," is also considered appropriate. as gold is a principal Australian prod uct. Augusta" the name of the first known settlement on the site of Lon- don, is regarded by one correspondent as a capital symbol for "a noble, ma lestic, imperial city" says the London Chronicle.
 Alexandrina, Guelph, Southern Cross, AustralopOlis, Australburgh, Victoria Regina, Atlantis, Federal City, Queen Victoria City, Fedora, Southminster and Britannia are a few of the titles culled from Q considerable variety of epis- tolary samples. An admirer of the pre- mier of the parent colony recommends Reidyille. Perhaps the most sensible suggestion is that of An Australian Girl" who would leave the selection of the title of the federal capital to the queen. Her majesty has not been asked to play this role of godmother since she bestowed the name of New West minister upon the first capital of British Columbia, then an independent colony, now the most western province of the Canadian dominion. The present capi- talofBritish Columbia bears the queens own name, Victoria.

A Conundrum Party .

Mrs. E. R. Gage gave another charming entertainment to a large number of ladies yesterday alter noon at her beautiful residence. 4 number of tents were pitched on the lawn for the use of the guests It was a conundrum party and the operation of guessing them proved quite entertaining. The guests were divided into two companies each being headed by a captain similar to an old fashioned spelling bee, the captains being Mrs. T. w Otis and Mrs. J. V. Shepard. The Op- posing forces of guessers were ar. ranged on either side of the large tent while the hostess, seated in the center propounded the conundrums and if the one to whom it was pro pounded failed to give satisfactory answer it was passed to one on the other side and so on back and forth until a correct answer was given Prizes were given to those scoring the greatest number of correct guesses, the winners being Mrs. R. H. Burmister and Mrs. Neal. After wards the captains were pitted against each other, the pIize being won by Mrs. Otis.
 A feature of the invitations was that each one contained a conun- drum. Refreshments were served in the residence. In addition to the ladies from Prescott who were present, were Mrs. Neal, and Mrs w. F. Staunton and her two daugh- ters from Congress.

Rose Is Released From Custody

Wm. Rose, who was arrested near Globe on suspicion of being con nected with the Camp Verde mur- der, was turned loose on Sunday. The Tombstone PrOspector ssJs that Rose was a member of the sheritf7s posse of COchise county in pursuit of the Hsldermans. Willie Rose established a successful alibi, and while he was given a good name from Cochise county, be did not sue ceed in satisfactorily explaining to the ofirers the objects ot his move ments when srres ted. He demon stIated to the officers ais D that he was acquainted with members Ot the Dalton and Black Jack" gangs, and also described a trip winch Tom Ketchum. the original and only "Black Jack" made last spring through this section. While the officers were aware of the trip prior to its being rel1ted by Rose, the lat ter showed that he was perfectly familiar with the movements Of the outlaw. Rose further intimated that vt en the truth of the Camp Verde murders is revealed, if 1t ever IS, 1t will be found that members of the Black Jack" gang were implicated in it. Rose left for Camp Verde where he left his horse and from where he will continue his journey south.
