STEPHENS WORK AS
INSPECTOR PRAISED
(From Fridays Daily.)

Ed w. Stephens, who has been ap-
pointed as deputy county assessor
by Assessor-elect c. F. Gentry, and
who went to Phoenix Wednesday
night to close up his affairs with the
State Live Stock Sanitary Board, for
which he has been serving in this
county as stock Inspector, was high
ly complimented on his work by its
secretary, who also expressed regret
that Mr.. Stephens was unable to con-
time his services.
In the letter acknowledging the re-
ceipt OF the resignation OF Mr..
Stephens. the secretary says that
man has not yet been selected TO
fill the position and expresses de-
sire for Mr.. Stephens TO hold on
few days longer than January LIST,
which is the date the resignation is
to take effect. With reference TO the
value OF the services rendered by
Mr. Stephens. Secretary Sam B.
Bradner says:
Il am sorry to lose you from the
force, as your services have been
satisfactory and your reports rend-
cred to this Office have always been
comprehensive and correct, thereby
doing away with considerable trouble
that we usually have in that line.
Whoever is selected for the job,
wish you would instruct him in MAX
ing his reports as it is hard job
to do by letter"
None but those who are familiar
with the duties OF stock Inspector
can comprehend the intricacies and
responsibilities OF the position. 1t is
by no means an easy job, and the
person holding it must not only be
thoroughly posted. but must be able
to use a great deal of tact and dis
erection in order to give satisfaction
to the live stock board and at the
same time award exact justice to the
stock interests OF his district. 1t is
indicated in the letter to Mr.. Stephens
that a man to take his place will be
appointed on the recommendation of
Joe Young, sheriff-elect of Yavapai
county.

EXECUTIONER is
FOUND FOR HANGING
(From Thursdays Daily.)

According to reports reaching
Prescott, 'some mysterious person
has been secured to spring the trap
when the six murderers in the Flor
ence prison are hulg on December
18th. 1t is said that he will ARRIVE
in Florence clandestinely and de-
part in the dead oil. the night after
the wholesale hanging. 1t is further
stated that Warden Sims will not be
within the walls OF the prison when
the hanging takes place.
According to the report, Warden
Sims told the governor, Il will not
be here when the hanging takes
place. | was hired to keep men from
escaping not to kill them Besides
it would be physically impossible for
me even to witness six hanging in
one day
The law says you must be present
at each execution" the governor re-
Piled. There is no way you can
avoid it"
81 can resign, can | not" retorted
Sims.
Sims has been quoted as denying
that he has ever suggested resigning,
but the conversation above is said
to have occurred within the past
two or three days.
If he does resign Riley Bryan,
captain OF the guard will be in charge
OF the prison. The next in line OF
succession is Walter Winsor, half
brother to State Land Commissioned
Milford Winsor. Either OF these,
like Sims. would resign before con-
Quoting wholesale execution in one
day. Il DO not believe it will be
necessary Tor Warden Sims to re-
sign" Governor Hunt is quoted as
saying. The law says that he shall
witness each execution, but it does
not provide any penalty if he fails
to do So
1t is stated by thc person re-
sponsible for this article, that the
governor has said that Sims has al
ready found an executioner but that
the name of the person will not be
given to the public until December
10Th. the fatal day. The governor
is also quoted as saying that news
paper men would be barred from
the execution.

OCCUPATION TAX
SLATED FOR "SKIDDOO"
(From Wednesdays pailyO

-At the meeting OF the city council
Monday night Councilman II. w.
Heap notified his colleagues that the
first OF the year he was going 10
make strenuous kick against the
continuation OF what is known as
the occupation tax. He declared that
it was gross injustice Tor the busi-
ness men OF Prescott to be taxed
for the privilege OF doing business in
this city aside from the regular taxes
assessed against them on the regular
rolls.
III any one can tell me why 4
business man should be compelled to
pay this special tax | should like TO
have him do so. Every business man
is regularly taxed on his stock oil
goods and other personal property.
He is expected to contribute by sub
scription to everything that comes
along. The business men OF Prescott
support every enterprise that - car
ried on in the city. from a scrub
horse race to the fair. They are called
upon to subscribe for everything
that Tom, Dick and Harry can think
OF. from the support OF a football
team TO the carrying out of the from
tier celebration In addition to this
they are compelled to subscribe TO
every charitable movement and
donate money to every institution
which exists here and is not self
supporting. And. on top of it all,
this occupation tax is levied against
them. and the Lord only knows what

that every man who owns property
in Prescott should hello pay it. II
would be a small matter to raise the
money derived from this tax by
spreading it on the tax rolls against
the five or six million dollars worth
OF taxable property in the city. and
it would relieve the business men OF

dens that could be thought OF. There

After Mr. Heap had finished his

RAILROAD WRECK
CAUSES BIG DAMAGE
(From Thursdays Daily

Last nights incoming train from
Mayer met with bad accident at q
point about one and one-half miles
north OF Huron. when a broken
flange OF freight car caused large
amount OF damage. as we'll did the
passengers miraculously escape seri-
Gus. if not fatal injuries.
The train consisted OF seven freight
cars and two coaches. FIVE OF the
cars loaded with ore being ditched.
The trouble occurred at one OF the
worst places on the road. where the
highest bridge spanned deep gulch.
The engine cleared the bridge. All
the heavy timbers were broken, and
the freight cars were ditched.
Had the accident taken place fifty
feet distant, it is said the entire train
would have been plunged into the
canyon. and loss of life would have
followed. Passengers and mail were
brought to the city later in box
car. The ore was from the Blue Bell
mine for the Humboldt smelter
