The EYES OF RlfLFMFN
FIXED ON CAMP PERRY
A Team to Be Made Up There to Com
pete for the Palma Trophy.

Washington. ID. c.. Aug. 2.-(Special
Correspondence of the Republican,
From now until September the eyes of
all rifiemen in this country will be on
Camp Perry, Ohio. where the annual
matches Of the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice, the Ma
tional Rifle Association. the Ohio State
Rifle Association, and the Ohio Ma
tional Guard will be shot. The match
cs begin August 10. but prior TO this
several days will be spent i'm prelim-
mary practice for places on the Palma
Trophy team. which will shoot against
Canada and England at OTTAWA on
Sept. Z. The matches OF the National
f2.ie association, with those OF the
state associations. will occupy the week
from August - to "A inclusive. August
26 and q will be set aside for prelim-
mary practice for the big national
matches. which will occupy the re-
mainder of the week. In the great
match for the National Trophy,i donat-
ed by congress. ii is expected that be-
tween forty and forty-five etams OF
twelve men each will be entered. Each
team will be accompanied by substi-
tutes, coaches and supernumeraries,
and in addition there will be a large
number of marksmen shooting on 9TH
er teams and as individuals. so the
attendance will be not far from one
thousand men, which will include the
best military rifle shots in the country.
This is the first time the matches
have been shot at Camp Perry. which
is one of the newest and most COM
plete ranges in the country. 1t lies on
the shores of lake Erie. near Sandusky
and Point Clinton. and across the lake
from Pdt-in-Bay. The targets will be
along the north side with the butts at
the lake, so the bullets will fall in the
water. AS 1t is shallow here there will
be no danger to passing vessels. 1t Is
expected that some remarkably high
scores will be made. partly on account
Of the north light as the marksmen
will not have to face the sun at any
time. The increasing amount of prac-
tiee with the military rifle should also
show in the scores, specially as most
Of the rifiemen have kept in practice
during the winter by using the Krsg
or Winchester %, which gives the
same results in indoor practice as the
30 at outdoor practice.
Many of the competitors are arrang-
ing to reach camp Perry by a part
water route. taking the steamer at De-
troit on the west or Buffalo on the
east. From Sandusky or Toledo all
local trains will stop at La Crane.
from which shuttle trains will run to
the camp. State teams travelling in
special cars may have the same parked

The only immediate relative of Miss
Sharkey in this territory was her
brother Armand. an electrician, who
lives at Solomonville. She leaves 9TH
er brothers and sisters on the coast.
From childhood Bessie Sharkey was
a beautiful and most lovable girl. The
number of her warm friends exactly
equaled the number of her acquain-
tances, and the number of each eqals
the number of those who mourn at the
closing of her young life.
While her friends were buoyed up
by a hope of her recovery she knew
for the last year that there was no
hope. Yet in her letters her cheerful
ness was unremitting. She was sus-
tanned by a strong Christian charac-
ter. She looked with fortitude upon
the wasting away of her life and I'M
complainingly endured the steadily
growing weakness and pain.

Gle and aunt resided at Virginia City
New. and later at Tombstone.
Miss Sharkey passed through the
city schools and became a teacher in
them about ten years ago. She quick
ly took a high rank but her applica-
ton to her duties was so intense that
her naturally robust health was over
come. TWO years ago she was broken
down from overwork and consumption
developed. y year ago she was
granted leave of absence for a year
in the hope that a change of scene
and climate might restore her health.
This hope. however. was not shared by
Miss Sharkey.
She left Phoenix accompanied by
Mrs. Mcfarland. They remained
awhile with the family of Hon. Mike
Gray. an uncle at Pearce, AriZ. They
went from there to Globe. afterward
returning to Pearce. They went to Los
Angeles at the time of the fiesta last
spring and for a short time there was
an Improvement in her condition, and
thence to the home of her sister at

A SUSPICIOUS WITNESS
AT CORONER'S INQUEST
Rafael Murietta Showed an Unreason-
enable Purpose to Perjure Himself.

| The inquest into the circumstances
concerning the death of Francisco
Valenzuela. resulting from injuries re-
ceived in a fight with Jose Romero
near Mesa on Thursday afternoon.
took place yesterday before Acting
Coroner tombstone. The members of
the coroner's jury were T. B. Butler,
r. o. Fredson. d. b. Lybrook, ]. A.
Porterie. W. l.. White and ]. T. Muir
ply.
The inquest brought out nothing
that was not already known except
that Rafael Murietta, the only man
present when Valenzuela received the
fatal blow, was disposed to perjure
himself without any apparent reason.
He denied all that he had told before.
He said that there had been no quar-
rel between the two men and that VAL
enZuela was not on the wagon with
him and Romero at all. He at length
made an admission that Romero and
Valenzuela had been fussing and when
he found that he had contradicted
himself he shut up and refused to say
anything. A threat by the coroner of
sending him to Jail made him a little
more communicative but what he had
to say added little to the general stock
of information regarding the tragedy.
The most important testimony was
that of NJ. a. Stewart, who witnessed
all but the fatal blow. He saw the
wagon containing the three men pass
ing along the road and he saw Valen-
zuela. who was apparently drunk and
quarreling. get out OF the wagon.
He next saw him running alongside
the wagon striking at his companions
with a club Finally the view of the
witness was obscured by a building
and il was at that point in the road
that ValenZuela was struck. When the
wagon came into view of the witness
again he did not see Valenzuela but
shortly after he was found lying
senseless by the roadside.
The impression of Mr.. Stewart was
borne out by the story told by Muri-
eta when he was first asked about the
affair by Constable Bolton. He said
that Romero did not strike ValenZuela
until the latter shad struck at him sew
eral times. In the meantime Romero
had disappeared and when the eonsta-
BILE asked Murietta where he was he
told him where Romero had gone. The
officer failed to find him there but
learned that he had not been there.
a fact of which Murietta had prob
ably been aware all the time.
The manner of Murietta on the wit
ness stand was so singular and UNI
accountable that n suspicion wat
formed that he was trying to shield
himself from any blame and that
probably he was the man who had
struck the fatal blow. though the tury
found that death was the result of a
blow struck by Romero. The inquest
further confirmed the impression that
had been formed at first that Romero
was acting in self defense and that
he would have had no trouble II he
had not escaped from custody the
night after his arrest. Under the de-
cision of the court, however. in the
Redwine case he may have commit
ted no offense for it is known that the
Jail was broken from the outside. not
at the institgation of the prisoner and
probably without his knowledge that 1t
had been done until after the break
had been effected. Then he merely
went away.

opposea to Linhilltx Law

About thirty of the prominent busl- ness men of the district intended go- ing to Montgomery today to oppose certain legislation which they believe would injure the district.
 MT. B. F. Roden, President of the B. F. Roden Grocery Company, was at the head of the delegation and was at the station this morning notifying the other members of the committee that the trip had been postponed until Mon- day. The Legislature recessed today at 1 o'clock until Monday and for this reason the trip was abandoned until then.
 The legislation which the delegation will make a fight on is the amend ed employers liability act. This meas@ ure was introduced by Senator Lusk and has been referred to the judiciary committee of the Senate. It is claimed that its adoption would work an es- pecial hardship on Jefferson county. In fact enemies of the bill state that it Is practically aimed at this county. It is understood that the law preventing the operation of freight trains on Sun days will also be opposed.
 The delegation goes to Montgomery Monday and will use every effort to preve mt the passage of the bill.
