Arizona Republican-October 13, 1909
El Paso papers which came to town yesterday contained accounts 
of the accidental and fatal shooting of Joseph Barkley, a former 
resident and merchant of this city last Saturday.  The shooting 
took place while Barkley was on a hunting trip, twenty five 
miles northeast of El Paso.  A party of six in two automobiles, 
left El Paso on Saturday morning and at noon they sotpped to go 
into camp.  All the other members of the party had left the 
machines and Barkley remained behind to take some articles out 
of one of them.

No one was observing him at the time, but his companions were 
startled by the discharge of a gun.  He lay on the ground with 
a gaping wound in his side. He was put in an automobile and 
the party started for El Paso. His final utterance was an 
expression of endearment of his wife and he was dead in a 
few minutes.

A special to the Republican last night describing his death, 
said that the body had been taken to Georgetown, Kentucky for 
burial, accompanied by his wife.  Barkley was about forty years 
of age.  Several years ago he and his brother were associated 
with the Barkley-Berryman Company (wholesale grocers) of this 
city. Leaving here he returned to Kentucky, but afterwards he 
located in El Paso where he associated himself with the James 
Dick Company, wholesale grocers, and he became manager of the 
concern.
