 ROUTE DOOMED
CFrom Friday's Daily)

The old Bradshaw mountain branch of the Santa Fc railroad, long an abandoned stretch of track since the old Poland mine closed down several years ago, is now to be torn up, it was learned yesterday. The local bridge gang left yesterday morning to tear out the track, and wreck the two depots on the line.
 This branch, at one time on of the busiest on the Santa Fe, has been in disuse for a considerable length of time, due to lack of traffic. The crew will probably be occupied on the work for some time, for the track runs from Henrietta to Pc land, and there are two depots, one at Poland Junction and one at Providence, to clear away.

 CLOVIS 2 CUES FROM JEROME

JEROME, Feb. 15-Prescott High school boys and girls basketball teams defeated boys and girls teams from Jerome High in two fast games played at the opera house here last night, the Prescott boys coming out victors by the overwhelming score of 29 to 9, and the Prescott girls winning 19 to 13.
 Both games were well played, though in the opinion of many spec tators the girls game was the better of the two, due to the fact that it was closer and more evenly contest ed. The Prescott boys so far out classed the Jerome players that the game was simply struggle on the part Of the home team to keep their opponents from piling up scores.
 Last nights games were return matches for game between the Jerome and Prescott High school boys played at Prescott on January .21, Prescott winning 30 to IA.

F|STICUFFS FOR
 FANS AT THE SAN
By CROSS BUCK fF'rOm Sundays DailV)

Rusty Russell McGec gained a judges decision over. Battling Bob Wilson (both members of this club yesterday morning in a six-round bout, staged in the open arena of Dr. Wilson's sanatorium. Not since we saw Jess Willard make a bum out of Frank Moran at the Madison Square Garden, New York, several years ago have we enjoyed a bout with so much avidity.
 It was a slam-bank affair all the way. McGec, a sorrel-topped, freckle faced lad, showed a wicked right paw, and his footwork was a delight to the ringside gallery of the patients who had put Up a purse at the in stance of Promoter Jack Keevan. He sent over a right hook ill the fourth round that had Battling Bob reeling, but the Battlcr came back and scored knock-down i'll the next round with d lei over the car.
 Ringsidc gossip had it that Bat ting Bob had put in an hour of preliminary training in Prescott be- fore the big brawl was staged, and cye-witncsscs say that he made a doormat out of his sparring partner. Evidently his period of training and his star bout came to a close to- gether That alone would account for the sluggish way he stepped in- to Slippy McGcc's openings.
 The fighters were quite willing to make it d winncr-takc-all affair, but the judges, Ernest Mclaughlin of Boston aud John Tomechko of Pas saic, \. J., decided on d split of 6O-4O. That just about covered the cost of a soda (with whipped cream) l and one shot at the movies.
 There will be return bout and both battlcrs intend to condition | themselves hunting with d pick and 1 shovel for Indian relics. In fact i they were doing that all afternoon. Although they fought at catch weights, thcy really arc in the same class-gradc "A, Washington school, to be exact.

 IF BADGERS IN
 TRIP ID FLAG
From Thrrsdnv,s Dailvl

Following their recent victory over Flagstaff, and their cleanup of the Jerome dribblcrs Tuesday even ing by a score of 29 to 9, the Pres colt High school boys today will leave for Flagstaff, to join with three other northern Arizona basket ball outfits in a tournament in which the winners will come out with tlie northern Arizona championship.
 With their best players on the lineup, including the two or three subs who will accompany the Pres colt squad, the Badgers are going in to the affray in the same frame of mind in which America entered the war-they are going in to win. With the sole exception of their recent de feat at the hands of Tempe Normal, ill two games which were outside the N. A. interscholastic schedule, the locals have a clean record behind them. Though they have met only one of the teams pitted against them at Flagstaff, they have won the decision over that team, the Flagstaff High dribblers; and the Flagstaff quintet has cleaned up on Williams.
 Of the other two teams ill the tournament, Winslow has been beaten this year by Jerome, which has twice fallen an easy victim to the Badgers skill, and Holbrook has vanquished the Copper City lads by only one point,
 Two games will be played by the Prescott boys, one in the afternoon and one in the evening. The out come of the contest will be determ- ined by elimination. If the Badgers come out N. A. champions they will proceed to contest with the southern teams at Tucson in a tournament to be held there in the immediate fu- ture, for the championship of the state.
 The members of the fighting ma chine which leaves today for Flag staff are Poe, forward; Southworth, forward: Heap, center; Bradley, guard; Thompson, guard; R. Wei land, Max Escher and probably E. Weiland, subs.

LOHLEIN UNDER EYE OF THE POLICE

While Mir. and Mrs. Olzer were deciding upon a course of action, Summers lay freezing on snow patch near the Jerome Junction road and circumstances were working to- ward revelation of the homicide, Lohlein was preparing for a remark able experience for murder sus- pect. At his rooms, 130 North Cor tez, two women, Mrs. Hawthorn and Mrs. Hayden, were becoming anxious about his condition and one or the other had secured two revolvers from the defendant.
 Night Police Officer R. A. Twam- ley, the final witness of the day, re- lated how he had been summoned to the place and there received a .22 revolver and the .32 automatic pistol, the latter being the gun with which the murder was. alleged to have been committed. The explanation, the of ficer said, was that the women fear ed harm if Lohlein retained the guns. Lohlein came into the side of the double house where the officer was talking with the women. One of the women asked him about ''that big gun" and under her insistence, Lohlein docilcly turned over the keys to his trunk from which Twam- ley extracted a magnificent pearl handled .45.

F'rOm Thursdays Daily) Have you got gun!" "Yes."

Have you got gum"
 "Yes."
 Well pull it!"
 These words were the immediate preliminary to the shooting of Charles Summers by John Lohlein seven miles north of here on the night of December g last, accord ing to testimony given at Lohlein's trial by Frank Olzer, yesterday morning.
 Lohlein, Olzer testified, told him these things in the latter's apartment in the Ref hotel, few hours after the shooting, as the witness and his wife were cndeavoring to get Loh- lcin to wash the blood off his face. The statement that "He shot first at me and missed and then 1 shot him twice." Olzer said, was not at first credited by either the witness or his wife. Mrs. Olzer later said she thought at the time that it was "just drunken talk"
 That proved the sensation of the opening day of the trial for murder of the former saddlemaker in super for court yesterday. A jury was un- secured and the trial proceeded without further delay. Jurors not on duty were excused un- til this afternoon, so confidently did the court look forward to a speedy termination of the issue, but wit nesses who were rather numerous, were not placed under the rule.

EN ROUTE TO SCENE OF THE TRAGEDY

From the saddle shop, according to the story as developed by another witness, Lohlcin and man unknown to witness, proceeded north in Loh- lcin's Overland car, As they passed the City ranch, several miles north .of Prescott, Charles Weston said he saw thcm-recogrizing Lohlein and the car but not the companion. This was about 5 o'clock. Weston said he had known Lohlein about a year.
 The next positive testimony re- lated to the arrival of the defendant at the Hoffman grill, conducted in the Reif hotel building by Mrs. Olzer. Frank Olzer, testifying, de scribcd Lohlcin's arrival there and his departure about o'clock with Mrs. Olzcr. Later, the witness said he went upstairs and found inc two in the apartment, Mrs. Olzcr being occupied with trying to get the de- fcrdant to wash a mass of blood of his right cheek. OIzcr saw gun in the mans pocket and took it.
 According to Olzcr then the dc icndant demanded the gun saying, "I have just killed one man and l just as well kill another l shot the wrong man. l am going to kill Mrs. Hayden, Brown and another man and then kill myself"
 For two hours there was rapid fire of mingled questions, narrative, explanations and copious tears. The Olzcrs did not believe the saddle maker had actually killed anyone. Repeated statements by Lohlcin fin ally convinced them he was not jok- ing or fabricatiug. He explained in detail, they testified how he had told ! them of buying a bottle of whiskey i and using jt to get Summers to go . riding. Out on the road he taxed

 Mir. and Mrs. Olzer, still specu- lating on the case, went to rcstaur- ant on Montezuma street about 9 o'clock, their place being closed at that hour.

MASS OF EVIDENCE
 QUICKLY INTRODUCED

Links i'll the chain of circum- stances leading up to and surround ing the alleged murder and subse- quent arrest, were quickly developed by County Attorney Sullivan and Deputy Westervelt and A. L. Ham mond, chief of counsel for the de- fense. Questioning both by the state and by the cross examiner, was in most cases refrcshingly brief and the consideration of the case was remarkably free from argument or contention between counsel.
 Nine witnesses had been examined in chief and questioned when the court adjourned at precisely 4:25, until this morning at 9:3O.
 According to the evidence present. ed yesterday, and here summarized and condensed, Summers entered the Arizona Saddlery some time in the late afternoon of December 23. He greeted P. Olsen, a former "hand" under him at the Horseshoe ranch, whom he had not seen since leaving for Coconino county 10 work last July, and in the course of a con- versation which Olsen said Lohlein overheard, the deceased told Olsen he did not need to borrow any money. He displayed two separate parcels of bills which he took from his pockets. One package cf bills, containing three SEQ bills and smaller notes, was taken from vest pocket, Olsen said Lohlcin, the witness de- clared made some remark about hurrying up and seeing Olsen later and they left together.
