HYLER HARD HIT WHEN
 BADGER LOST FIGHT
(From Saturdays Daily)

Dutch" Hyler may know some thing about busting bronchos, but is 2 little shy on badger fighting tactics. He fell down yesterday afternoon at Ruffner's stables before an audience Of about 300 people, when he pulled the string and lost S2OO in cash. Pre- ccding this tournament he was neatly introduced by Dr. (. w. Pardce, who incidentally covered his bet be tween dog and beast, as well as giving the visitor from Wyoming an oppor- tunity to protect his interests by permitting him to twist the string into shape that the nocturnal crea- ture would have full swing at the canine Hyler is of fine physique and in his muscular effort he pulled the string too viciously and the dog won out in a jiffy. The badger was all in before ii started. and the finish to the job was over in few min utes.
 In looking over the gory scene this is what he said: I'm sucker of the rankest hue To think of coming down to Arizona with gilt-edge reputation as a cute sport and to fall for such a game, IS enough to make one feel like cancclling all broncho doings and trek back to Denver. I thought I had been around some and seen all tricks Of the trade but this old stunt on new one places me in the moss-back arena. I had bet ter stick to the broncho and leave the badger alone, or else people back home will report me for drafting to get me in line to train mp as a real fighter. l must go at once to q clothes cleaner. Goodbye until the fourth of Iuly, boys"

ARIZONA TO GET CREDIT
 FOR ALL CLASS MEN

PHOENIX, June 7.-Not only have all of the Class men in Ari- zona been exhausted in previous calls to the colors, which IS the reason this State was not included in the call, announced in Washington, for 200 coo men to be entraincd between June 24 and June 2S, but there is an acknowledged credit of 5S2 more men, this number having been fur nishcd from this State to the various departments of the service.
 The provost marshal general ad- mits that we have a credit of 5S2 on record in his office,'' said Colonel Charles W. Harris, adjutant general, yesterday. But we really have a great many more than that. Some time ago we convinced Crowder that we should have a credit of 300 more than the Washington figures gave us. We will have to do the same thing again.
 These men for whom we are given no credit" added Colonel Harris, are the Arizona men who have been inducted into the service In some other State"
 Arizona will have a few more Class 1 men after the 400 or more young men who registered on Wednesday are classified, these men having be- cone of age since June , Of last year.

SLAV SLACXERS ARE TURNED LOOSE
(From Saturdays DaiIy.]

The number of prisoners held in the Prescott hoose gow will be les scncd by 54 at ten o'clock this morn- ing, at which time the band of Rus sian slackcrs who have been locked up since last August on charges oi failing to register, will be given the gate and will head for their homes near Glendale. The Russians were sentenced to one year in jail, but the sentence was cut down to 10 months by good behavior.
 Yesterday evening in celebration of their pending discharge from the prison. the men all put on clean shirts and had feast, the stunt having been accompanied by much chanting and singing All of the men have their belongings packed mp and ready to ship south on this afternoon $ train. While it was believed that eight of the men who had some time ago refused to i'll out questionnaircs would be re-arrcstcd immediately upon their release this morning, 1t was stated yesterday evening by the officials that no word had yet come from the federal authorities to hold the eight, and they would accordingly be turned loose. It was thought likely, however, that the charges would be filed against the Russians after they had returned to their homes.
 The Molokanas. who arc religious fanatics, were sentenced in the United States court at Phoenix carly in August of last year because they had refused to have anything to do with the draft registration which was held in June, 1917. All of the men Of the colony who were within the draft age were sentenced to year in jail, all of them choosing prison rather than 10 register. While they have been couiucd in jail in Prescott tho men have daily gone through their religious rites, the evening ceremony having been a combination of danc- ing, singing and chanting. When the bunch was first brought here, Jailor Ben Powers had a nightly audience ni interested people who visited the jail to >ce the fanatics perform, but during the past few months the box
