 iFrom Fridav's Daily.l

"I love the west, and l think Pres colt is one of the most delightful spots have visited anywhere" and anywhere means many places when Miss Jessie Millar uses the term. Miss Miliar arrived in Prescott yes terday and is enjoying few days rest before the opening of her mu sical engagement as soloist for the Prescott band during the Frontier Days. Miss Millar has the proud dis tinction of having been credited by the musical circles of the world as the greatest woman cornetist of the age. In her work she mas visited five continents and in the United States, on the Orpheum circuit, has played ill every state in the Union.
 Miss Millar was induced to come to Prescott by her father, Professor L. P. Millar, director of the Prescott band, and when Chairman Kastner of the music committee found there was an opportunity of having such a splendid musician coming to Pres colt he lost no time in contracting her for solo work during the From tier Days.
 Miss AIillar's work while in Pres colt will be a real treat to music low CTS. Fresh from winning laurels in Chicago, she says her stay in Pres colt is going to be enjoyable. "It will be the first time in my life that have played at a Frontier Days celebration, and I know I am going to enjoy the sports, for I have heard of the Prescott Frontier Days all the way from Chicago here"
 Miss NlHllar is we'll known to every band leader ill America. For many seasons she was a soloist with Sousa's band and with Ellis Brooks famous military band.

JOY OF LIFE IS GOING;
 FISHING TO BE CUT (From Fridays Oaily.l

News that will come as something of blow to local sportsmen arrived in the city yesterday According to authentic reports, State Game War den Joe Prochaska is seriously con sidering the curtailment of the fish ing season on Oak creek. It is said that the ban upon the pastime may go into effect July l, along with pro- hibition.
 The action of the game warden, if carried out, will be dictated by the recommendations of Deputy Game Warden F. C. Allen of Flagstaff. MT. Allen, who claims to be something of an expert on things piscatoriai, says that the stream is about to be de populated by the hordes of enthusi- astic anglers from Jerome, Prescott and Phoenix. He has informed his superior, according to accounts, that trout are becoming exceptionally scarce.
 There are any number of fisher men in the district who take issue with the statements of the deputy WhIe it is admitted that there have been numbers of sportsmen from the satte at large enjoying the sport the stream affords, it is said that that there has been no unusual influx this year. All who have gone to the creek from this city flatly dispute the statement that the trout are be- coming scarce. They assert the dep uty has based his assertion upon conjecture or else has not used the right kind of bait. Several are con templating the framing of a protest against the closing of the season on Oak creek, to be forwarded to the state game warden.
 The dropping of the ban is not without precedent. According to ukase just delivered by Mir. Pro chaska, fishing will be verbotcn this year in the Catalina and Graham reserves. The game precincts were closed because of the fact that the past year was an unusually dry one, with q consequent deterioration of the game fish in the streams.

MOVIES WANT A LOCAL PUNCHER
 FOR A STAR
Stay Cowboy!

Dldy SOWDOy!
 Do you want to be second Bill Hart?
 If so, the 1919 Prescott Frontier Days will afford the opportunity.
 Announcement was made by wire yesterday from Universal City, Cali fornia, that President Carl Laemmlc had determined to add to his staff of movie Cowpunchers by recruiting among the contestants at the From tier Days. For this purpose, he will send Director R. E. Wells and a ca meralhan here next week to make fshort test studies of all cowboys who present themselves as candi- dates for film work The test films will be used to determine the photo graphic qualities of the said cow hands physiognomIes, and will de termine which will get preference for leads.
 One of the contestants, who pho tographs best, wifi be offered a job as cowboy star, while others may be chosen for his supporting cast.
 Hamm Beall, publicity director for the Universal studies, wires somewhat after this fashion: "Wc want another western star in addi- ton to Harry Carey and Pete Mor- rison."
 Qualifications for the job include daring, ability to straddle wild hoss, good looks, and face muscles that will be fore or less under the control of the owner. Naturally, every cowboy will want 10 get his mug movied and Wells IS liable to be using a lot of test films before he gets them all registered. In addi- ton to the test strips, there will be some record made of each mans riding, which will reflect the wild ness, roughness, speed and furiosity of the Frontier contests.

STEPHENS ACCUSERS
 COMPLETE TESTIMONY from ThursdaY's Dailvl
(SDecial to the Ionrnal-M Miner

Especial to the JOurnal-Miner)
 FLAGSTAFF, June 25.-With the selection of the jury completed yes terday, the prosecution today put in its entire ease :1 cnief against Harry Earl Stephens, charged and on trial for a second time. for the murder of Robert Miller. Tomorrow morning the defense will go to the bat with the most imposing array of witnesses and expert court room practitioners ever assembled for an Arizona trial
 In putting its case before the jury, the state contented itself with read ing much of the testimony from the records of the first trial in the Su- perior court of Yavapai county. which was reversed on tnis case. The prosecutions work was short, and the testimony went in without a great deal of opposition. It is un- derstood that the defense wil rely on the temporary insanity plea, as there are several expert ahenists in the court room, gathering the details for their testimony tomorrow.
 The testimony of Robert Meador was that the witness saw Stephens buy and load the gun with which he killed Miller Charles Watts testi- mony was read, to show that the witness sold Stephens the gun and cartridges the morning of the homi- eide. X map of the store of o. w. Bruehman, where the killing took place. was introduced. together with tne testimony of J. w. Warra. who made the map.
 Lester McGee told of having been with Miller during the frenoon and of having accompanied him to the store, where he bought some clothes before Stephens came in with his gun. l1cGee's testimony was supple mentcd by that of Wirt King, a clerk in the store; Joe Wilson, and the typewriter statment of tne proprie- tor, Mr. Bruchman.
 The testimony of Lester Ruffner and Dr. K. N. Looney as to the wounds was then put in. At the close Of the session. there was a de bate between counsel as to the per instability of hearing the testimony of Fred Boore of Prescott, who tes- tihcd at the first trial to having heard Joe Stephens, father of the ac- cused. say to nis son, Keep shoot ing, Bud~ It was decided not to send for Moore; if his testimony goes in, 1t will be read, just as that of several other witnesses has been read by E. s. Clark, assistant county attorney.
 The battery of legal talent at the table of the defense was supple mented by the arrival of Paul Schenck of Los Angeles. Others en7 gagged in the defense are P. W. O'Sul- livan and J. H. Morgan of Prescott, Frank Dominguez and Milton Cohen of Los Angeles. who have a crew Of assistants. reporters and experts as sisting them.
 It cannot be ascertained low long the trial will last. The work of the prosecution was fast, but it is be- Teved the defense will require con siderable time to introduce all the testimony it has available. Then, too, the interrogation of expert wit uesses necessarily involves long le- gal positions that will take up time
