WESLEY EDWARDS MAY
 BE HIDING IN PHOENIX

Phoenix, June 1.-The sheriff's of flee was notified Sunday evening that man looking almost exactly like Wesley Edwards, one of the two men still wanted in the connection with the Allen murder in the court room at Hillsville, West Virginia, had been seen walking north on First street. Officers are searching for the man to- day and his apprehension is probably near.
 Edwards, with Sidna Allen, was one of the gang that "shOt up" the court room at Hillsville when an unfavor- able verdict was returned on one of their friends for bootlegging. He is known as the most notorious operator of illicit distilleries in America, and is practically illiterate. Sidna Allen, the man with him, is described as worldly, well-informed and educated, and something of a dilletante.
 A reward of $500 is offered for the apprehension, alive or dead, of Ed wards. The man seen on First street looked almost exactly like him, ac- cording to the information received by the sheriff's office, ad was dressed in brown corduroy trousers and a blue shirt.

AN ESSAY IN FAVOR
 OF PRIZE FIGHTING
(By George l.. McCombe) :, 'rize fighting in Arizona?

(By George L. McCombe)
 Prize fighting in Arizona?
 Why not?
 Is prize fighting such a degrading sport, after all?
 Is a sport which becomes men who really aspire to BE men, sport which demands strength, agility and in which blackguardism is not tolerat- ed for a minute-is such a sport de- grading?
 Self-defense for ages was called the noble art''
 Isn't it noble" any more?
 If not, why not?
 It isn't that prize fighting has be- come more brutal, for all the evidence is against that argument. In the days of Corbett and Fitzsimmons and John L. Sullivan and James J. Jeffries and Tom Sawyer, there was brutality, with out doubt of it. Fights often lasted for sixty or seventy rounds, and the fighters fought with bare fists-not gloves ,as the ring rules of the pres ent day require. And sometimes these men were incapacitated for weeks aft CT a fight.
 At the present day fights seldom last twenty-five rounds. The partici- pants are never incapacitated for more than a day or two-and seldom that Fighting is LESS BRUTAL than it ever was, so there
 There is a proposal included in bill TOW before the Senate, to permit hrize fighting in Arizona, the fights to be limited to 20 rounds. This will f3rhld the big fights, such as the one to be fought between Johnson and Flynn on July 4th, in New Mexico, but will permit small affairs which could be made exceedingly enjoyable.
