FUGITIVE \ NUMBER 2
Saloon Keeper Phillips Also
 Disappears
It Was Definitely Learned That He Had Assisted In the Escape of Redwine.

Interest in the Redwine case was kept alive yesterday, by the flight of ]. II. Phillips. the proprietor of the Midway saloon at Five Points, who had been suspected of driving Redwine to Tempe the night he fled and had so put himself in the shadof of the peniten- tiary. Suspicion had riPened into cer- tainty the night before. Deputy Shar- if Cunningham went to Tempe on Fri day and got a description of the man who called at Laird's and got drink for himself and two persons who were sitting in a buggy near by. The de- scription left no doubt that Phillips was the man.
 On his return to the city the deputy sheriff called on Phillips who was at his boarding place with the Butts fam fly on South Seventh avenue. He was in a bad way from an injury received the night before while driving. He told the deputy that the accident happened just as he was starting to a dance. The officer had previously learned at the Commercial corral where Phillips got the team, that it happened at the cor ner of the corral as he was returning about II o'clock at night. He had got the team early in the evening.
 The officer did not tell Phillips why he had called to see him, but Phillips evidently did not think il was a friend ly call. Phillips was suffering from fracture of the skull at the base of the brain, and he was otherwise badly bruised. There was no probability that he would be anywhere else in the morning. Several persons were. present at the house at the time of the officer s visit, among them the wife of Redwine.
 Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff Cunningham called at the Butts house again and was surprised to learn that Phillips had gone. The people at the house knew nothing about his depart ure. A woman said that about II o'clock she thought she heard some one talking in his room.
 His physician Dr. Foss, called about the same time to see Phillips, and he was even more greatly surprised than the officer to find the man had gone. The doctor believed that the move meant his death. It had been by no means certain under the most favor able circumstances of rest and quiet, that he would survive his injury. It was certain though, that he would not If he caught cold. or a fever was set up.
 It was later reported that Mrs. Red wine had accompanied him in his flight, but along in the afternoon she was found at the home of her mother and said that she knew nothing of Phillips movements.
 IL was only surmised that he had gone north on the $. F. P. & P. train which left shortly after midnight. Tel egrams were sent to Prescott. Ash Fork and points along the road, but late last night it was not reported that he had been seen.
 It is quite sure that he could not travel far in his condition and it is , even thought that he may not have left town at all, but is somewehre in hiding having been scared by the visit of the officer. In any event there is very lit tie chance for him to get away, so that if he lives he is moderately certain of a residence at Yuma.
 Not a word came from any point of the compass in relation to Redwine, nor did anything develop here to throw any additional light on the theft of SlI75 in the valise belonging to Deputy Sheriff Williams of Gila Bend. Much that had been widely circulated the day before, was modified or proved to be untrue, so that little more is known about the theft than was disclosed be- fore the arrest of Redwine on a misde- meanOr charge.
 Williams, the loser of the valise. came to town yesterday morning, but not in connection with that affair. He had not heard of the escape of Redwine until he arrived at Maricopa- He had been aware that Redwine was under suspicion and he regretted that none of his acquaintances had notified him of his escape, as he could have taken him off the train when he passed through Gila Bend.
 Sheriff Walker was at Benson yester- day blocking attempts by Redwine to escape into Mexico by that gateway, and he has telegraphed officers all along the border urging them to ap- prehend the fugitive.
 It was discovered yesterday that he
