Phil1 saves a life...

According to James W. Byrkit in Forging the Copper Collar:  Arizona's Labor-Manaement War 1901-1921 (pp. 238-240) after the kidnapping and "deporting" of anybody that Phelps Dodge felt was remotely involved in union activity, there was still vigilante type stuff going on, including a "kangaroo court" set up by Phelps Dodge--sounds like they maybe actually called it that.

Anyhow, one guy who was never a member of the union, not involved in the strike and therefore not "marked for deportation," had briefly run a pro-union newspaper, so he was still not a man to be trusted and he kept a journal, in which he relates a story about being jailed one day, then being turned over by the sheriff to the Loyalty League and taken by several men on a ride out into the desert in a car driven by Phil Tovrea.  After about an hour they stopped, and "young Tovrea balked at the prospect of becoming a murderer" and said they'd do "the other," which meant beating him senseless and leaving him out there.  The guy did survive, and I have found references to a case that involved Phil and several other men, separate from the main case against EA and all his buddies, but haven't gotten the details yet to know if it was about this incident or something else..  Will keep working on that, but isn't it nice to know Phil1 kept a guy from being murdered?
