FOR HUNTING

Some unsportsmanlike man signing
himself as "Sportman' has reported
seven or eight citizens OF Cordee to
State Game Warden Slate at Colum-

with local authorities with view OF
getting punishment visited on the
men reported The names were furnish
cd the state game warden, but the
man reporting did not sign his name.
Those who are hunting out of sea
son are taking risk. There is a
a grand jury at all season and such
a body is forced to it to the line when
the time comes.
There is such thing as a hunting
license but that does not permit
hunting out of season. Sportsmen are

LOVER SHOOTS
 HIS ENAM0RATA

Anna Martinez lies in a critical con- dition at St. Joseph's hospital from gun shot wounds inflicted by her lover, Pedro Sanchez, a fugitive from justice in the Agua Caliente country.
 The 20-year-old girl may live, it is said by those who have charge of the case, though she is suffering acutely from wound in her left arm ana an injury to her hip. Conscious last even- ing, she told those about her that San- chez shot her when she refused to leave the state with him.
 The shooting occurred near Sentinel on Wednesday night. The sheriff's of flee receiving word by wire, Sheriff Wilky and D. J. Warren, deputy sheriff left at once for the scene The man hunt continued all day yesterday, the officers returning last evening confi- dent that Sanchez was still this side of the Gila river but unable to locate him.
 The river is impossible and the en- tire search was directed on this side under the leadership for the sheriff who had the cooperation of Oscal nop- erts and his cowboys who rendered ey- cry possible aid. The river banks for miles was inspected without trace of the love crazed Mexican who is under stood to be armed with a 3S automatic and F gauge shot gun. Sanchez is a man Of 35 and according to the story told at Sentinel was infatuated with | the girl who would have none of him.

GUILTY, VERDICT IN NEvANS-ERW|N
 LIQUOR CONTEST

Mrs. Belle Evans, Cole Evans, and Earl Erwin were found guilty of intro ducing liquor in the state by jury ln Judge Stanford's court at S:S0 o'clock last evening, just four hours after the fhst ballot was cast. In the case Of the woman, the jury recommended sus- pended sentence.
 Although Mrs. Evans was notified that the jury had reached its verdict, she was not present in the court room when it was read by the clerk. Evans and Erwin received the result of the deliberation of the 12 men who served as Jurors quietly. Neither their attor- ney. w. L. Barnum nor P H. Hayes, counsel for Mrs. Evans were present. Sentence will be passed by the court at 9:30 o'clock Monday morning.
 The only witnesses called by the de- fense was Mrs. Evans who remained on the stand throughout the morning and was recalled again in the after noon. She told a consistent story and despite the rigid cross examination never faltered in her testimony. She said she went to Buckeye to warn her husband and Erwin that the officers were on the lookout for them. She stated she did not know why the au- thoritieS should want the man, but warned them because she feared gun play.
 George Irving, taxi driver, who drove Mrs. Evans to Buckeye, cleared up the mystery as to from whom Mrs. Evans received her tip. He said that Slim Cassabaum, a trusty in the county jail, had been the source of his information and that he had in turn told the Evans woman.
 The amount of liquor brought in by Evans and Erwin acording to the off cers at the present price of liquor was worth $S,5O0.

GAMING COMING
 IN FUR NOTICE

That as vigorous an effort will be made to stamp out gaming as bootleg ging was the statement made by coun ty officers who admitted that the four arrests made yesterday was but the beginning of the campaign against the slot machine.
 Lon E. Hoeye, alleged to be the chief offender, was taken into custody at an early hour and will enter his plea be- fore Judge Stanford today. Hoeye, who will be represented by I. J. Lipsohn, is said to have rented out the machines all over the state and to have received rake-off from the proprietors of the machine who are understood to have operated on a percentage basis. c. M. Andrews, Peter Mehas and Samuel Cohen, all charged with gaming, were brought into court and each asked until this afternoon to enter a plea. It is understood that the last three named will plead guilty.
