More About the Camp Verde Murder

A correspondent writing from Camp Verde under date of July 6, gives the following m regard to the dodble murder committed there last Sunday night:
 The man who did the shooting hitched his saddle horse in the bot tom about six hundred yards south east of the store and came on foot to the store just at dark. He sat on the porch and talked to Rodgers and Capt. Boyd about half an hour before he did the shooting, which occurred about 10 o'clock. He went toward the Tonto Basin country until he got to Mud Tanks, twenty two miles from Camp Verde. From there be took the direction north toward Back horn ranch, travelling about one 10 two hundred yards from the trail. His horse was bare footed. After he had travelled north about three miles he found a herd of wild, range horses and followed the broncho horses. This plan sue ceeded in bsffling the Indian trailers. Tue parties then split up in small squads and the last report was that he has been located at or near Grande springs, on the old Crook or Camp Apache road. Sheriff Munds came into Camp Verde today for fresh horse and supplies and started out again. Every one is doing their very best.

PREscoTT's CELEBRATION.
Prescott's Patriotism BUbbied ,Dp in Streaks Visible Here and There Among Grown People But
 Very Noticeable in
 Young America.

The most noticeable and promin- ent feature of the celebration of the Fourth of July this year was the un- usual, enthusiastic and continuous shooting and firing of bombs, fire crackers, rockets and all sorts of Ere works that would make a noise with a sprinkling of hot air balloons, sent up only to soon float of out of sight.
 Dealers in fire works anticipated the pent up patriotism of our Peo- pie in this direction and laid in an unusual supply but none too much for the demand as It found a ready sale.
 Despite the proclamation of the mayor, backed by the chief of police, that fire works should be fired of only inside of the plaza fence, their pop, pop. whizz, could be heard ID every part of town. The exhibition commenced several days ago and is still in progress and 1t will take probably two or three days more for 1t to subside. Some of the more en- thusiastic patriots failed to find time during the day and early evening hours to give vent to their feelings and in consequence on Monday night the sound of the cannon cracker" and the exploding bomb was heard at all hours of the night.
 The routine celebration was pro noted" marshaled and manipulated by J. D. Moore, who was not only enthusiastic, but was here, there and everywhere experimenting events, and 1t opened with band concert on the plaza from 9:30 to 10:30 in the forenoon. The grand" parade and litereTaTY exercises billed for l;3O p. ID. came of a little afteF2 o'clock, Delegate J. F. Wilson being the ora tor of the day.
 The balance of the afternoons ex- ercises consisted of 6 firemen's tour nament and various and sundry juvenile sports, for boys under eigh- teen, but in some of them at least the small boy was crowded out by his big American brother and the much coveted prize captured by the latter. There was DO public display of fire works, each individual being allowed to supply his own enter tainment iu this direction. In the evening a ball was given in Dake's opera house by the fremen.
 While our citizens were tardy In the matter of starting decorations, and while there was no elaborate at tempt at 1t several of the business houses were trimmed up very taste fully on Monday. One of the most artistic jobs of decoration witnessed 1 was the drug store window in the Hotel Burke building, among the ! several artistic features of II being . pictures Of Col Roosevelt, Lieut.. .

Superintendent of the Dining
Service on the Rio Grande.
A GENTLEMANLY FIGHT
Will Be Waged by the Northern Pacific
and Short Line in the Clear

A GENTLEMANLY FIGHT

A circular letter was received in
Butte yesterday that D. A Fraser until
recently connected with the Michigan
Central dining SERVICE has been APP
pointed joint superintendent of the nc w
dining car service of the Rio Grande
Western and Denver & Rio Grande
roads. which will be inaugurated on
the LIST of June. The cars are now be
ing built in the Pullman shops and will
be models of the newest and latest de-
signs. The dining car service on these
two roads will be a much longed for
Improvement by the travelling public.
While the Northern Pacific and Ore
gon Navigation have finally agreed to
disagree, they have reached this much
of an understanding. The fight in the
Clearwater country is to be carried on
in a gentlemanly manner There will
be no undue bluffing or bulldozing tao
tics. At first sight one would come to
the conclusion that this decision would
minimize the damage the cOntendng
interests would intiict on each other,
but a gentlemen's fight is generally the
worst kind, and open and violent col
1ision is inevitable. A prominent repre-
sentative of the Northern Pacific in

Union Pacific and Great Northern, as
well as the Northern Pacific. have too
enormous interests at stake to permit
much bloodshed. How can bloodshed
be prevented while Presidents Mellen
and Mohler have power to go ahead and
yet cannot come to a sembIance of an
understanding. 1t is idle to attempt
to minimize the Importance of the is
sue or the seriousness of its latest phase.
Presidents Mellen and Mohler have re-
turned home and it is generally felt
that further efforts to secure peace
would be equally futile. The Oregon
Navigation seems to have put the bur
den of proof on the Northern Pacific.
because it was fortunate enough to get
the best of the situation from the point

had previously read in the papers that
death was supposed to have been due

quently not manifested in poisoning
cases. Witness stated that contrary to
DIR. Hanson's statement he had re-
moved portion of the spinal cord, and
it showed the evidences of cerebro spi-
nal meningitis. Witness took issue with
DR.. Hanson as to rigrr mortls, and said
it does not always set in Immediately
after death. It indicated nothing. AS
to the kidney and liver being necessar-
lily cOngested in cases of meningitis,
witness said such would not necessarily
be the case when death ensued soon
after the person was taken. Cerebro
spinal meningitis was evident.
DR.. j. A. Trembay corroborated DR..
Sheeran's testimony in all particulars
and expressed the view that the reason
the stomach and organs were not af-
fected was due to the fact that death
ensued so quickly. He thought death
resulted from the shock which followed
the commissions with which the chlld
was taken. Witness had been prac-
ticng physician so years and his eX-
perience taught him this was a case of
spinal meningitis. He said poison

a short time would he apparent in the
conditions Of the organs.
The jury returned the following YER
dict: "That the deceased came to her
death at Butte, Silver Bow county,
Montana on the 91st day of April,
1899. and to the best of our knowledge
and belief, we, the jury. find that death
was produced by cerebro spinal menin-
gifts"
