 Wm. Corners was found guilty of
 murder in the second degree by the
 jury in his case, at Prescott, Wednes-
 day. Corners was charged with the
 murder Of George Bryant, near Hot
 Springs, last December, and on the
 stand. admitted that he had killed
 Bryant. but claimed self-defense, say
 ing he had gone to Bryant's cabin to
 pay for q calf which he had killed. and
 in q quarrel which ensued, was com
 pclled to do the killing, to save his
 own life. The jury evidently did not
 take much stock in this story, as the
 verdict shows. Corners is. and has always been known to be of a quarrel some spOsition-ever ready to do
 murder or serious injury upon slight provocatiOn-and many people in this section will rest easier when he is be- hind the bars. At a late hour We'd nesday night, after the verdict had been handed in, COnnOrs attempted to commit suicide in the jail, at Prescott, by severing some of the arteries in his wrist. Other prisoners in the jail discovered his bleeding to death, and physicians were summoned and the bleeding stopped. Connors will recov- CT. The penalty for his crime is from ten years up.
 It is possible that Arizona will be included in President Roosevelt's tour of the west, which it is announced that he will make this fall. He will states. He has promised to go to Tex as and to some of the states of the northwest, and, he has made q condj- tional promise that he will visit Cali ncrary which would naturally include Arizona. Governor Brodie yesterday addressed the following telegraphic request to him: The people of Ari- zOna earnestly hope that to them will be accorded the honor of a visit from their president on his journey west ward. They will hail with joy your coming and anxiously await your re- ply. Grant us, il possible. our desire.' There arc many reasons why the president would like to come here. One is that he will almost certainly have something to do with the state hood bill next winctr. and he would therefore like to see something of our territory Then. also. he would want to meet hs old comrades of the Rough Riders, and more of them, according to population, live iu Arizona than in any other state or territory. The between the president and the governor is something more than comradcship, for during thelr service together personal friendship sprang up. and it has grown stronger ever since. IT the California trip should be made, it would almost be necessary for the president to pass through the territory, and he would hardly do that under the cIrcumstan- ces without stopping.-PhOeniN Re publican.
