FUGITIVE PHILIPS
 Is NOT FAR AWAY
The Officers are Quite Certain That the Injured SaIoonkeeper Is Still in Town.

The whereabouts of Saloonkeeper J. Fl. Phillips. charged with aiding in the
 escape of Constable Lee Redwine. is still mystery, but it is quite certain
 that he is concealed somewhere in town and when he is found those who are concealihg him will be in the same shape he is now with respect Ito the law.
 It has been pretty definitely learned that he did not go north on the s. F. r. & P. train on Saturday morning. No replies have been received at the sher- ifs office from telegrams sent to Ash Fork and intermediate points. and Sheriff Lowry of Yavapai county and deputy who were on that train. saw nothing of him. Injured as he was he would be easily noticeable. It Is not thought that he would have been able to make tbe start.
 Sheriff Walker returned yesterday morning from the southern part of the territory and learned that Redwine did not at any time go-east of Maricopa and that there is no danger of his get ting into Mexico by rail. It is predict ed that he will be back in the county jail within a week or at least he will be on the way there. When he was last seen he had his mustache clipped ] off closely but that is said not to have altered his appearance so that he would not be easily identified by the photographs which are being sent broadcast throughout the country It is determined by the sneriffs office ' that he shall be captured whatever may be the cost and the district attor- ney's office will spare no effort to aid 1 in bringing him back.
 Concerning the fact that Redwine was not locked up as the commitment directed a friend of Sheriff Walker said last night that the escape did not prove that the sheriff had been more careless than any of his predecessors. but that he had been more unfortunate It has been the practice of sheriffs of this county to take chances that cer- tain prisoners whom they foolishly dld not want to submit to the humility which went with the punishment i'm posed by the law had not been locked up and in many cases had been kept under only a nominal surveillance There is the well remembered case of $. Berryesa. who had been sentenced 10 six months in the county jail for falsifying his claim against the county for acting as interpreter in a justices court. During almost the entire period Of the sentence of Berryesa was never behind the bars hut was allowed about the court house plaza and the office Of i the sheriff in the daytime and was sometimes allowed to go to his home and spend the night with his family Berryesa was in ill health and the sheriff figured that he would not run away. He did not but Redwine did.
 The Los Angeles Times which came to Phoenix yesterday explained the or igin of q rumor which was circulated in Phoenix on Friday night that Red wine had been captured. The police there having received telegraphic in- structiOns to arrest wired back: For felony or misdemeanor." That inquiry was construed by the officer here who received it but who has since said nothing about it to be information that Redwine had been captured. He ac- cordingly replied, "Will send a mal immediately"
