COLISEUM BLOODHOUNDS
 WILL TRAIL CRIMINALS
Famous Dog Will Be Shipped to Phoenix in Middle of Au-
 gust.

King Edward will arrive in Phoenix in the last part of August King Edward will not receive invitations to soirees given in his honor or plan to make an entrance into local so- ciety. Dogs do not appreciate such things, and King Edward is a dog a bloodhound of the dearest strain in the United States. When Manager Reeves of the Coliseum came west he remembered d great dog he had seen in Tennessee, a big fellow weighing 100 pounds d dog with as ugly a countenance as was ever seen or imagined by a terror stricken child. Beauty is not one of King Edwards strong points. His great est recommendation is his record as a convict hunter His scent is so keen and unfailing that a convict who knows that King Edward is on his trail even before he has heard the deep bay of the pursuing hound. realizes that his attempt to escape has been unsuccessful
 Some time ago the big dog was offered for sale with a young female dog of an equally good strain. Both dogs were bought by Manager Reeves. and they will be shipped from the south on August 15 King Ed wards man hunting abilities have made him well known all over the south.
 After they reach Phoenix the dogs will be known as the Coliseum Man Hunters" They will be on dis play occasionally at the theater, but will be at the disposal of the sher- ifrs office at all hours to assist him in trailing escaped criminals and fu- Citives from justice. They will at tract great deal of attention after their arrival, but King Edward will take things cooly. He has been used to more dangerous things than curi- osity.
