HIGHEST SCORES OF
THE SEASON MADE
Leaders in Gun Club Show improved
High Scores. Interest Increasing.

The Phoenix Gun club held its first
shoot for the Dupont trophy Friday
afternoon. The competition for the
cup was fierce and some of the scores
were the best which have yet been
made. Four of the shooters made
more birds than were necessary for
the winning of any of the previous
shoots. The leaders in the club are
becoming more steady in their work,
while many of those who have not
been shooting for any length of time
are hitting their pace and will in time
make much higher scores. Many of
those who have not yet Deen among
the leaders have shown a form which
indicates that when they have been
in practice a little longer and have
become a little steadier that they will
make scores which will place them
among the sure shots.
The scores yesterday are counted
on a possible 25 and are as follows:
Eden, "a; Buehler, Is; Galpin, %;
Heilman, II; Baptist, II; Anterior,
%; Hagerman, %; Carr, II.
An increasing interest is being TAX
en- in the shoots because of the meet
early fall. All over the southern part
of the territory the clubs are holding
the regular meets for the same tro-
plies that are in contest here. Mr.
Atherton who shot % in the meet
in this city last Friday is a mem
Der of the club at Clifton and if his
score can be taken as an indication
of the ability of the Clifton team,
the contest will be hard fought be
tween the shots from that place and
those from Phoenix. Mr. Anterior
reports that great interest is being
manifested in the meets there and
that the scores are about the same
as are made in this city.
The shades for the shooters have
been placed and shades have also
been placed over the seats for the
spectators so that all of those who
attend the shoots can be made COM
Portable.
Many new shooters are seen on the
grounds between the times of the
shoots engaged in practice. DR.. Nun
son is among the new ones. He
arrived at the grounds too late last
Friday to get in the contest, but he
when he gets his long distance glasses
he will make the leaders sit up and
take notice.
Both Of the trophies which are in
competition here are now displayed
in Galpin's window. The Balistite
trophy is in the possession of Mr..
Galpin, who won it at the last shoot
and has been described before. The
Dupont trophy is a bronze statue Of
Joe Cummins. the worlds champion
Llewellyin setter. 1t is about four
inches high and is mounted upon a
block of ebony. Around the base is a
band Of gold about half an inch in
width. The trophy is one of the
prettiest which has ever been offered
and will cause an active fight for its
final possession.

Frauds in Public Lands.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-Informa-
ton of startling character OF al
legged wholesale and astounding
frauds upon the public lands has
come into the possession of Secretary
of the Interior Garfield through spe-
cial agents in the field. The serious
allegation is made that approximate
ly $11O,000,000 worth of land in
States principally west of the Mis-
sissippi has been fraudulently acqulr-
ed within the past two years by cor
porations and individuals.
With a view of recovering these
lands, Secretary Garfield sent to-day
letters to Chairman Hale and Taw-
ney of the senate and house appro-
priations committees, respectively,
asking for an additional appropria-
ton of $500, 700, which, if granted,
will give the department 81 100000
for that purpose. 1t is stated that
there is reasonable prospect Of recov-
ering much of this alleged fraudu-
lently acquired land if the appropri-
alton is promptly made. 1t also Is
pointed out that while $1,00O,000
may seem large it is not one-hun-
dredth the value of the land.
Mr.. Garfield also inclosed a report
of H. H. Schwart, chief. of field ser
vice, showing over 1900 distinct
cases of alleged frauds demanding
further investigation. Among such
cases awaiting investigation now
pending are 1850, divided among
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi.

Woman Murdered.

Baltimore, Md, Jan. 16.-With
gashed forehead and cut and bruised
limbs, Mrs. Sophy Coufal, thirty
years of age, was found dead in the
cellar of her home this morning.
Blood stained axe suggestive of
brutal crime, was lying within Is
feet of the body.
Her daughter, who calls herself So
ply Bartusek, was arrested a short
time later.
Early this morning Fannie ran to
a neighbor's screaming that her
grandmother had fallen down the
steps and was dying. To the officers
she declared that her half witted
brother John had committed the
crime.
She said that her mother had fall
len down the steps and that immedi-
ately John had taken an axe and
killed her. John Jouffal said when
he came home his sister began
screaming: "You killed mother. "
He denied knowing anything further
of the murder.
In absence of any motive the police
are inclined to think her death may
have been accidental.
