CONTEST FOR MEDAL
ARTILLERYMEN AND CAvALRYMEN
 AT RIFLE RANGE.
Handsome Trophy Offered by General Barry l.. Holt for Excellence in Marksmanship Other
 Prizes Awarded.

The artilierymen and the cavalry men, who will be in camp near Mont gomery during the coming week. will engage in a craftsmanship contest al the Holt rifle range near Cypress Fond
 The cavalrymen and the artillerymen will shoot for fine gold medal of fered by General Barry l.. Holt. The craftsmanship contest Is due to the energy and perseverance of Major w. F. Tebbetts, Inspector of Rifle Practice, upon the staff of General Louis V. Clarke. Until yesterday there was hardly a prospect that the artillery and cavalry branch of the Alabama National Guard would have a chance at the rife range.
 Major Tebbetts, however. had been at work to get the men engaged In rife practice as the men of the infan- try regiments had done. All obstacles were removed yesterday and the an- nouncement was made that the cav alrymen and the artillerymen would for the first time shoot at the targets on regulation rife range.
 In shooting for the fine medal of fered by General Holt the men of the artillery and the cavalry will use car pines. The date of the shoot has not yet been agreed upon.
 In the result of the score made last week by the infantrymen and pub lished yesterday morning a mistake was made in the score of the team from the 3rd infantry. They were given credit for a total of only 260 points when in fact the team made a total score of SIP, coming close to the total score of the 1stS infantry team which had had more practice.
 The Clarke trophy was yesterday formally awarded to the 1st infantry by General W. w. Brandon at dress pa rade. The dress parade exercises were suspended until General Brandon could walk forward and make the presenta- ton of the trophies won at the rifle range. He announced that having won it twice in succession the Clarke trophy became the property of the team from the 1st infantry. He also awarded to Lieutenant Daniel of Tat ladega the Ligon medal for the best individual shot and to Captain Coleman of Fort Deposit The Montgomery Ad- vertiser medal for the second best shot.

EDWARD .DANSBY DEAD
THE SECOND VICTIM OF WILLIAMS
 AT PENSACOLA.
Sheriff Urging Upen Circuit Judge Ne cessity for Early Trfal-The City Council Considers Rail-
 roaA Ordinances.

Pensacola, July 22.-(Special. )-Ed- ward c. Dansby. the second victim of the bullets of William Williams. the drysoods salesman. died this morning at o'clock at St. Anthony's Hospital after lingering from o'clock Tuesday afternoon, the time of the terrible shooting affray.
 His death was sudden and was not expected.r Yesterday was one of the brightest days that the young man has passed since being confined In the hospital. During the day he recog- nized and conversed with relatives who were at his bedside and seemed to have the best chance in the world TOT get ting over the wound. The happy coon dition of the patient was a source or much gratification to his friends. who learned from the newspapers or now he was, and all anticipated an early recovery. This state of things only served to make the blow heavier when the news of his death became generally known today. .,,
 The funeral arrangements will De perfected during the day and the inter ment will take place tomorrow. It Is expected that this will be one Of the largest of funerals, since there was not a more popular young man than Eo- ward Dansby in this city. The fact or Dansby's death has not been commuhi- oated to the slayer. Williams. who IS held nominally on the charge or nav ing caused by the death or John White. his employer. It las been deemed epedient to con ceal the news of the gentleman.s death for the present in the hope that the prisoner will break down and make confession. Williams has been endeaV- bring to make the officers think ne Is insane, but this attitude has been dls, pelled on more than one occasion anu there is now the general belief that the insanity attempt is only show 10 get ofY light. Williams has no sympathy coming to him in Pensacola today' es. neciaIiy after the death of Dansby and the continued serious illness or young James White, the son or the gentiefhah shot dead by Williams last Luesuay ternoon and who was himself wouhoeo in trying to save his father.
 sheriff Van Pelt Is yet trying to urge upon Circuit Judge Carter the neces- sity for a speedy trial. He believes that in doing this he is allaying any thing in the shape of violent public re- sentiment against Williams and ms crime, and also believes that he IS aid- ing in the proper observance or law and order. He Is in receipt of letter from Judge Carter, who asks that all information relative to the reasons for the speedy trial be sent him. The sheriffs reply was accompanied by at least three petitions urging the early disposition of the case at issue.
 The relatives of Williams are urging against the speedy trial of the case. They say that the state of the public mind right at this time would not per- init their relative to have fair trial and they have taken up the matter with Judge Carter.
