GRAPHIC STORY
 OF BATTLE NEAR
 ROSEMONT T0[D
County Attorney Moore Was
 One of Party in Motor
 When Murderer Made At tempt to Kill Entire Posse

In fancy still hearing the bullets of the slayer. Antonio Armento singing about his ears, Kir6e T. Moore of Tue son. county attorney of Pima county, who was one of the five men to mlracu- lously escape death at Rosemont nm ing camp. 35 miles southwest Of rue son, Tuesday at the hands of the law defying camp-terrifying Mexican, was at the state house yesterday on pusl- ness connected with the preparations for the selective draft registration ln Pima county on June 3.
 Mr. Moore, who was in the front seat of the motor car during the battle, was the first. he said 70 catch sight of the Mexican whose head and shoulders ap- peared above the top of the arroyo on the right side of the road as the car stopped in front of the mining camp store The siayer's rifle was pointed directly at the car and he started shoot ing at once.
 Some twelve or more shots were fired, Mir. Moore said the Mexican shooting two or three times before the men in the car could get their rifles from the holsters at the side of the ear. They were not ready, as the slayer was the last person they had expected to meet at that point. Every man in the car
 
 was over, though none seriously.
 The Mexican apparently was struck by a bullet just before he strengthened up to fire his last shot declared MT. Moore. but he managed to escape down the arroyo, his traIl being ob1iterated with horses by the fifty or more oblig- ing Mexicans in the camp.
 How some of us in the car escaped being killed by the Mexican is more than l can understand" declared MT Moore yesterday in relating his expe- rience at the camp. Tt was nothing less than a miracle. The car was shot through and through by the slayer $ bullets, but no man was more than scratched
 The Mexican who did the shooting Antonio Armenia, had killed another Mexican, Juan Pallanes, early in the morning of the same day. Instead o1 leaving camp, now ever, the slayer strutted about the camp, terrifying all and announcing that he was ready foI the officers to attempt to arrest hIm.
 I did not know that Armenia was waiting for us" said Mir Moore, or would not have been in the party"
 In the motor car with MT. Moore al the mining camp were Sid Simpson deputy sheriff; Tom Burns, also a dep uty sheriff and a cattle inspector; C. F Cable. assistant county attorney, anC the chauffeur

RECRU|T|NGFOR FIRST IN HANDS
 UNITED STATES
Lieutenant D. R. Anderson
 Is Here to Look After Work of Bringing State Guard up to War Strength

Uncle Sam has officially taken over the work of recruiting men for the First Arizona regiment, this work here being in charge of Lieutenant D. R. Anderson, who is now here.
 Arizona must furnish without delay the men necessary to raise the total en- listment of the First Arizona Infantry to war strength or lose the regiment The last day allowed by the govern ment for that purpose is August 5, and if by that day the entire number of recruits has not been secured, the required number will be raised by draft and the identity of the regiment lost in it's merger with the regular army troops.
 To secure the men by voluntary en- listment, if that be possible, the gov ernment has taken over from the state authorities the work of recruiting in Arizona and has sent out from the camp of the First Arizona at Naco several officers and enlisted men to different parts of the state. They will make a final effort to recruit the regi- ment to war strength and save the unit for Arizona.
 The recruiting party detailed for ser vice in Phoenix has arrived and is in charge of Lieutenant D. R. Anderson of the machine gun company. Lieuten- ant Anderson will today open a re- cruiting office in the armory, to be the principal one in the city. Two branch recruiting offices will be opened. one in Johnson's billiard hall. The state authorities will cooperate in every way with these officers to see if Ari- zona can raise her quota without re- source to the draft.
 It is the duty of every citizen the officers assert, to urge men of the proper ages to offer their services, particularly those who have no one dependent on them for support It was the idea of congress. it is asserted that men would volunteer their ser vices in sufficient numbers that the draft might not be necessary The gen eral staff of the army, however. be- cause of their experience in these mat ters, seemed to believe that the draft was the only system to be used. The present act is compromise. Men will be allowed certain time in which tC volunteer, and then the draft will be I put into effect
