Arizona weekly journal-miner., 1899-08-09

IL is just one month today since
 the horrible Camp Verde tragedy,
 and to assist the capture of the mur-
 dereT the governor offers a reward of $500. If this amount SHOULD be
 means of bringing Bishop in, 1t will
 be a sad commentary on justice.
 From the squealing of the sheet up the street all the time 1t would seem
 as fl gubernatorial dough" was all
 that was lacking to solve the prob
 lem. If Bishop is captured will
 not our contemporary accord the governor the distinction of being the most cunning and practical" sleuth hound that ever took the
 trail of a fugitive from justice in
 Arizona
