THIS SUBJECT PLEASED
WITH HIS OBITUARY
Charles Rsmpf Sends His Thanks to
The Republican.

The Republican the other Cay with
regret announced the sudden death of
Charles Rampf. the old mining man,
at his camp. The story was printed
on what seemed to be reliable informa
ton and altogether it seemed too true.
The reporter who had handled the case
had known Mr. Rampf for a long time,
since the early silurian period; he
knew all of his good points and dwelt
upon them at some length. In short, his
account OF the decease Of Mr.. Rampf
was an obituary of which any corpse
might be proud The subject of such
an obituary would have to be a long
time dead not to feel warmed by it.
\ day or two later this paper an
nounced with qualification that it was
in error: that Mr. Rampf was not dead
nor anywhere near it. and nOtwith-
standing something of a weight of
years he was not expecting to die.
Yesterday Thomas j. Sparks arrived
in town and said that he had passed
the camp of Mr.. Rampf and talked
with him concerning his late demise.
MIR. Rampf had copy of The Republic
can containing his obituary and was
reading it over and over again without
harsh criticism. on the contrary, he
said that such notice was calculated
to remove the sting of death and rob
the grave of victory. Death and hell.
said Mr. Rampf, could not prevail
against such an obituary writer.
He desired Mr.. Sparks to stop at The
Republican office and convey his
hearty endorsement of all that had
been said about him. He hoped that
the matter would be kept alive in
The Republican composing room for
in the fullness of years he must die. If
he should live to be a thousand years
he could not add to the perfection with
which he had been clothed, and he in
tended to live his remaining years in
such a way as not to minimize that

A BUSY NIGHT
FOR THE FIREMEN
THE SUPPOSED WORK OF
INCENCiARY.
Two Suspects Arrested After Third
Blaze Near Furniture Store.

4 One or more fire bugs wera abroad
last night and two men suspected of
firing the town are i'm the city Jail.
The first alarm early in the evening
called the department across the street
to the old photograph gallery, though
for time it could not be determined
whether the trouble was there or in
the furniture store of H. G.. Edwards,
next door. The volume of smoke pour
ing from the top of the building and
reddening flames threatened the
closely built block so that the horses
and other movable property was TAX
en- out of the Golden Eagle stables
But the fire and smoke were quickly
subdued. and the fires out" signal had
hardly sounded when an alarm from
box 80 was turned in. This fire turned
out to be a shed in the rear of Mas
sic K Sons furniture store which was
burning with great luridness. That
was soon put out but the firemen had
hardly reached the station when they
were recalled to the same part of town
by fire in the rear OF, Wattawas fur
niture store Though it was burning
against the building II had not yet
eaten into it though it had filled it
with smoke. 1t was soon wet down.
BY this time. it was generally be-
lieved that these fires were the work
of fire bug and a couple of women
said they saw man start the fire in
the rear of Wattawa's and run away.
A little later two MeXicans carrying a
5-gallon oil can across the court house
plaza were taken into custody on sus-
picion.
1t was later reported that man had
been seen running away from the start
ing blaze at Masses and a shot was
fired at him.
After the third fire, the merchants
along Washington street got together
and arranged for a temporary patrol.
Marshal Moore also put on three addi-

Almost All Evidence in Rod
riQUez Murder Case In
- j.! :"
DEFENDANT ON THE STAND
Remembers ALI Incidents of
the Tragic Day Except
the Tragedy Itself-Tes-
tinony of Eyewitness
of the Manner of Death.

So rapid progress was made with the
trial of the Rodriguez murder case that
it will probably go to the jury by noon
today The defendant himself Fran
cisco Rodriguez, late in the afternoon
told the story of the events leading up
TO the death Of his wife. though of that
climacteric incident, he professed to
have no recollection.
There will be one more witness for
the defense and then one more for the
territory in rebuttaL
Some delay was caused Yesterday
morning in filling the jury, but before
noon il was completed with the fol-
lowing members: J. / Bates, w. c.
Carroll. Robert Wagner, H. Clary Par
ker. N. j. Pettid, L. r. Lewis, Wright
2. Shin. c. c. Long, W. y. Amos. Rob
ert w Simpkins, G. W. Leeper and J.
J. McNulty.
Among the earlier witnesses for the
territory were Drs. Sargent and Will
lard Smith who performed an opera
ton on Mrs. Rodriguez the day before
her death; that is. shortly after the
shooting. They testified as to the
character Of the wounds, those in the
back being surrounded by the blistered
skin, showing the proximity of the
weapon.
Officers Troutman. Sullivan and 9TH
ers who participated in the capture of
Rodriguez while she was fleeing also
testified, as did Coroner tombstone and
Sheriff Hayden and Deputy Sheriff
Adams To the two latter. Rodriguez,
after having been removed from the city
to the county Jail, made the most dam
aging admissions. stating among other
things, that the killing had been medi-
tated by him for a week.
The first eye witness of the tragedy
was Miss Sazuetta, who proved 10 be
a clear and excellent witness, proof
against rafting under cross eXamina-
ton. She said that on the morning of
April ?, or near noon. she was on her
way home in the southeastern part OF
the city. AS she approached the rail-
road crossing on Ninth street she
noticed the prisoner and bis wife
standing near the track. she was
especially attracted to them by their
laughing. Both seemed to be in good
hurhor. AS she was passing them, she
saw the woman with a laugh turn
away and then the witness having just
turned the street corner, heard the
first shot and then another. She was
near the man and woman then.
On cross examinati ton she was asked
If she was near enough to them to hear
what was said. The question evidently
referred to what the witness might
have heard before the shooting but
she began TO tell what the woman said
or cried when she was shot. But the
counsel for the defense stopped her.
The witness then said that she ran
to Valenzuela's store nearby and had
a message sent to the police station.
She was followed on the stand by s.
Eredia, who. with others, were sitting
in the shade of a tree nearby when
Rodriguez and his wife CANE to the
railroad crossing. Eredia and his com
paniOns also were especially attracted
to the pair by their laughing. But at

SPLENDID PROGRAM
OF PIANO GRADUATE
Wonderful Talent Displayed BY Miss
Bernice Faye Horrell.

The Arizona School of Music, Mrs
Shirley Christy. director, Mr. Glen
A-Towner. head Of the piano depart
ment, last evening presented Miss
Bernice Faye Horrell in a graduation
recital, she being the fourth piano
graduate from that institution. In
accordance with one Of the require
ments of this school, that upon com
pleting the course of study, public
recital be given before a diploma is
received the program was given.
1t was a fine musical treat en-
joyed by very large audience to
whom Miss Horrell conclusively prov
ed that she is musical; that she is
technically capable of surmountinG
extremely difficult musical heights
and that she is eventually sufficiently
broad to comprehend and reveal the
true meaning of her selections. AT
times Miss Horrelrs technic was bril-
liant clean cut precise, at other
times beautifully poetic. displaying
unusual warmth and singing tone for
one so young.
In the Sonata Op. 80, No 3, by
Beethoven, she showed an unusual
conception. Revealing every phrase
and infection, her exposition of this
work was most beautiful and inter
esting Rubinstein, List and Chopin
then followed in the order PANIED.
and in each of these Miss Horrell re-
Elected the mood of selection to the
receptive spirit of the audience.
Her final group was composed of
comparatively modern compositions,
and from the dainty Mignonne by
Schuett, through the somber soulful
melody by Ole Bull. she carried her
listeners to the highest pinnacle of
her whole program. Sapellnikoff's
Danse des Elfes, where she seemed
to chase fairies and, imps up and
down the keyboard. finally scattering
them in one grand climax of tech
nical brilliancy. This composition
alone stamped Miss HOrrell as a COM
petent, comprehensive musician from
whom we hope to hear more I'm the
future
She was most ably assisted by Miss
Hermena Holsinger and Miss Irene
Johnston in a splendid performance
of Handlers violin and piano Sonata
in F. Major. Last evenings per-
Torrance reflected not only great
credit upon the young lady graduate.
but upon the School of Music, and
especially her instructor, Mr.. Towner;
who is without doubt the best equip
ped teacher and musician Phoenix
mas ever claimed.

FRIENDS OF MISSING
MEN GIVE UP HOPE

There is still a possibility that
Harry Cambron, j. b. Laxague, b.
indiana and Peter Erramupes are
alive, but the possibility grows more
remote day by day, says last night 8
Gazette.
The four stockmen, it is now believ-
ed, were slain by outlaws for their
camp equipment.
If such proves to have been the
case, it is the most desperate crime
ever committed in the county.
Herbert Humphreys, partner of Mr..
Cambron, received letter from Eagle
vile today, stating
con January 18th Indiana met
Cambron, Laxague and Errampupes at
Camp DEMO. He had just come in
from the sheep, which were quartered
nine miles away. He said that on the
way to camp, as he was coming
through a canyon, he saw the carcasses
of three beeves, which had been fresh
ly killed and skinned.
"On the next morning the four
men started for the sheep, planning to
90 by way of the canyon where In
diano had seen the slaughtered cattle.
"The cattle had undoubtedly been
killed by band of outlaws for food,
and when the four stockmen came near
their camp they murdered them for
their equipment. 1t is twenty-one days

IMPORTANT SUIT
BEGUN BY s. P.

Through it's attorney, c. R. LEVERS,
of Reno, the Southern Pacific COM
pany has brought suit in Justice
Dunn's court against E Reinhart q
Co. for $23l.1O, additional freight
charges, on a shipment of lumber from
Truckee to Winnemucca four years
ago.
H. Warren, attorney for E. Rein
hart & Co., states the facts Of the case
as follows: Some time during the lat
ter part of February, 1907, the South
ern Pacific company hauled several
cars Of lumber from Truckee to Win
nemucca for defendants at the rate
of $4.00 per ton, which was paid. Al
though this rate was the published
tariff at the time, has been ever since.
and is now, the railroad company now
claims that for a period Of about
three weeks, which included the time
the shipment in question was made,
there was in effect at Washington, d.
c., tariff which provided for q rate
of $500 per ton from Truckee to
Winnemucca on lumber.
While without doubt every large
mercantile firm in the state Of Nevada
will be financially interested in the
outcome of this action, it is probable
that F.. Reinhart & Co. will be COM
PEELED to alone bear the cost qf the ex-
peneive litigation, for the case is
bound to reach the supreme court Of
the state for final decision. The ac-
tion has been brought in time to avoid
the statute Of limitation, which runs
in four years in cases Of this char
acter.
While the money consideration il
small, and would ordinarily have been
adjusted without recourse to the
courts, there is an important princi-
pie of law involved that must be ulti-
mately settled. In selling all classes
of merchandise the freight charges
are taken into consideration and
goods are sold ON a basis of existing
rates. If a transportation company
is allowed to come in several years af-
ter transaction has been closed and
claim an additional freight rate Of so
per cent, it would be possible to bank
rupt any mercantile establishment in
the world

CO[ON|STS BEGIN
BUILDING HOMES

A day or two ago j. Krilanovieh, j.
Kusich Geo. Benko and j. Ban, four of
the Los Angeles men who last fall To-
Gated on lands south of Winnemucca,
arrived in town. Yesterday the party
was outfitted at f. Reinhart & Co.'S
preparatory to moving to their ranches.
When seen by representative of the
Silver State yesterday, speaking for
himself and associates, Mr.. Krilano-
vich stated that the first of the week
the work of erecting buildings and
sinking wells would be commenced.
AS soon as the houses are far enough
advanced in construction to afford
shelter, the remaining eight colonists
of the party will come up from Los
Angeles and begin building operations
on their homesteads. Part of the set
tiers entered quarter section of land,
the remainder securing half section.
A portion of each claim will be plowed
this spring and sown to crops.
While the names of the men would
indicate that they are of foreign birth,
all are intelligent and speak the Eng
lis language fluently.

BODIES Of MISSING STOCK
MEN HAVE BEEN FOUND
Discovered by Rescue Party in Little Rock Valley Where They
Were Presumably Murdered By Outlaws for Their
Camp Equipment and vaudbes

since they have been seen and there
is little or no chance that the boys
are alive.
"All the camp tenders in the north
ern part of Washoe county are looking
for the missing men and no one has
any track of them. | think, however,
that they are afraid to 60 to the place
where the cattle were found, which is
or was the place where the outlaws
camped.
"a camp tender came into Eagle
vile today bringing the news of the
cattle episode. He heard Indiana
telling the other men about it. Yes,
there is no doubt that all are dead
and no one will know how they died
until their bodies are recovered"
Mr. Humphreys stated to the Ga
zette that he has given up all hope OF
seeing the men again, although it is
possible they are held in captivity by
the outlaws, whom he believes to be
whites He said:
"There has been no feud in north
ern Washoe county between the sheep
and cattle men, such as has occurred
elsewhere in Nevada, but all get along
amicably. The fact that the men in
the party were both cattle and sheep
men would destroy such a theory any
way.
"The longer I think about it the
less / believe that the men perished
from eating canned meat that had
spoiled. They could hardly have died
from cold, for they were well equipped
and were used to hardship, besides
the snow was not very deep and it was
only nine miles to the sheep.
"They were undoubtedly foully
murdered or were taken captive by
the outlaws. There is no chance that
they went to Quinn river desert, for
that is long journey, besides
would have already heard from them
from that point long ago, for they are
men with interests demanding that
they keep constantly in touch with
their associates.
"Mr. Cambron certainly did not in
tend to remain long away from Eagle
vile, for we have a lot of cattle there
and he was in charge of them.'

Senator Bell ravors Scrip in Prefer
ence to Bond Issue.

Senator Bell, who arrived from Car
son this morning, inclines to the belief
that scrip is preferable to bonds, for
the principal reason that it bears the
same rate of interest and is more
available to the samll investor. The
Senator was of opinion that it
might be well for the legislature to
raise the maximum tax rate limit, in
order to permit the commissioners to
levy a sufficient sum to meet the re-
quirements Of the county for the com
ing year.

Mining NOTES. OF
THE GREAT CAMP

Joe Sehloss, partner of r. M. Ed
munds in the Mayflower No. lease,
arrived from camp Thursday evening
and is spending few days in town.
Mr.. Schloss reports that large
force of men, divided into two shifts,
is at work on the lease, and that the
outlook is full of promise. tunnel
has been run into the mountain for
400 feet, and at a distance of 80 feet
winze was sunk which has reached
depth of 85 feet. In order that the
employees may be supplied with pure
air, a gasoline engine has been employ.
ed to force the air to the bottom OF
the S5-foot winze.
Just prior to Mr.. Schloss departure
from the camp, the miners had com
menced tc break into ore, and the in
dications are that before many hours
high grade will be encountered.
