WILLIAM HALIYAR
Arizona Republican Newspaper
July 25, 1904
William Haliyar was smothered to death at the Commercial
Corral on Tuesday afternoon. He had been drinking and lay
down upon a cot with a pillow over his face. How long he
had been lying there is not known but he was discovered
about half past five o'clock. He was then unconscious.
Dr. Foss was sent for and Haliyar lived about an hour.
There was no inquest. It was assumed that as Haliyar was
living on the arrival of the doctor and that as his
breathing stopped naturally and gradually there was no
reason why the authorities should be disturbed.
Haliyar was forty five years of age and unmarried. He was
a native of England, where his mother, a married sister
and a brother still reside. He came to this part of the
country about a year and a half ago for his health. It
is understood that his relatives are quite wealthy. At
one time not long after his arrival here he was in
need of money and in reply to a request they sent him
$1500.
For nearly a year he had been employed at Pike's Stables
but not long before his death he found work at the
Commercial Corral. It was decided to have his body
embalmed and held pending word from England. The
address of his relatives could not be found among
his effects but it was known that he had been
corresponding with a woman by the name of Nora T.
Marshall of Wallingford, Berkshire. A cablegram was
sent to her, informing her of the death.

RICHARD HARRISON
Arizona Republican Newspaper
March 30, 1905
Jerry Sheehy was convicted and is serving time in Yuma for
the killing of his best friend Richard Harrison in Santa
Cruz County. Among the grounds on which an appeal in the
Sheehy case was based was the admission by the trial court
of a statement by Harrison after the shooting which he
called attention to the fact that he was not armed when
Sheehy shot him. It could not be regarded as a dying
statement and it was close to the borderline of hearsay
testimony but the court held that in any event it was
insufficient for a reversal of the case.
Richard Harrison
January 18, 1904
A fatality seems to be attending the well known Harrison
family of Washington Camp, Santa Cruz County. Richard
Harrison, the son of Judge Harrison, and a brother in
law of Hon. D.G. Chalmers, the Speaker of the House of
the Nineteenth Legislature, who was killed by Jerry
Sheehy last Friday near Washington camp, is the second
son of that family to meet a violent death in the same
locality within two years.
A little less than two years ago an older son was killed
at Washington by a man by the name of Morgan, who is now
serving twenty years at Yuma.
The facts of the killing last Friday are not all known
yet. It is reported that it was the culminating incident
in a quarrel about some cattle. There is a suspicion
though that there was some other cause. Harrison and
Sheehy had for several years been running mates. They
had been particularly chummy and taken part in several
escapades and in one affair that could not be called an
escapade. It was an assault one day on Hon. Colin Cameron
whom they met on the range at Lochiel. They dismounted
from their horses and pulling Mr. Cameron from his horse
beat him almost into insensibility.
The case was taken into a U.S. court and after a stubborn
trial they were acquitted. Richard Harrison was the youngest
member of the Harrison family.
Katie Hatch
August 6, 1905
Arizona Republican Newspaper
News was received here yesterday of the finding of the body
of seven year old Katie Hatch, seven miles from where she so
mysteriously disappeared not far from Holbrook on July 15.
This is the case in which C.W. Crouse of Fort apache, who is
now in the city, was quoted a few days ago as saying that
hope of finding the girl alive had long ago been given up
and the search was continued only for the purpose of hoping
to find the body that the parents might have the satisfaction
of knowing her fate.
It will be remembered that John Hatch and family went camping
on July 15 and the same evening the little girl wandered away
from camp just at dusk and was never again seen alive. She
was trailed by Indians and search parties sought in vain.
Rewards were first offered for her recovery and later for
her body if dead. She was found on the opposite of a river
in a region that had not previously been scoured for the
reason that the river was so swollen when she wandered
away that it was not supposed she could possibly have
crossed it.
