TWO MIAMI MEX|CANS
 WOUNDED IN BATTLE WITH G|LA OFFICERS
Republican A. p. Leased WIrel


 GLOBE, Ariz, March S.-Two un- identified Mexicans were more or less seriously wounded this afternoon in gun battle in which they engaged with Constable Ali Edwards and Chief Dep uty Sheriff Wight, both of Miami. The shooting occurred on the main thor oughfare of Lower Miami and. caused witnesses to the duel to dodge right and left.
 Reports that drunken Mexican was frightening residents of that section l by brandishing a revolver, caused the two officers to visit Lower Miami. Ed wards sighted the two men first. Civ | ing no warning, one of the MeXicans 1 started backing away from Edwards, 1 firing at every step. Edwards drew his weapon and returned the fire to such effect that at the fourth shot he hit the Mexican's right arm. causing him to drop his revolver. Wight at this juncture arrived on the scene and i overpowered one of the Mexicans and Edwards subdued the other. Each off, cer, however, was forced to strike his prisoner over the head in order to fully subdue him.
