ing about nine o'clock after work
ing ever since Monday morning.
The vote shows that Governor

so far tail-ender as to be practi-
cally out OF the running, receiving
but 32l votes on the head of the

candidate for governor received.
Judge Smith received the most votes
OF any county candidate and P. J.
Farley was second in this honor
column.
So far as the amendments, initia-
tive and referendum measures are
concerned, the vote of the county
was about Il standoff as to the num-
Der carried and lost. Among those

STORY REVIVES MEN,
DRY OF COL. FREEZE


(From Sundays Daily
For "reminiscences and stories
that are calculated to interest peo-
pie who are even half dead on their
feet, leave it to the members of the
Yavapai Club Groups often gath
er in the spacious lounging room
and see who can tell the biggest
yarn, and strange as it may seem
some of them once in a while tell
stories that have real foundation to
them.
For instance, the other night a
group OF these story tellers and his
torical book worms-men who
would never forget anything they
hear if they would live to be as old
as Methuselah. and who can quote
the living and the dead with a pre-
cision akin to inspiration-were
ndulging in "reminiscences of early
days in Prescott, when one OF them
got this one off, about in the Ian
guage used below:
Say, speaking OF elections, freak
legislation, freakish legislators, and
the like, did any of you ever know
Col. w. A. Freeze, who was elected
to the legislature from Prescott?
No one present happening to
know the aforesaid colonel, the
speaker continued:
well, | can remember him well.
twenty four years ago"
And he was character such as
does not grow on bushes, and one in
a thousand men person would re
member as long as life When he
was candidate for the legislature
here he had the appearance of a
man who would cut about as much
figure in a law-making body as
ginger ale does at a national con-
vention of brewery men. And he
seemed to realize it himself He
had been a gambler in Arizona when
such a business was as much as a
mans life was worth, and was
known all over the state for his
daring, as well as for his eccentric
tiles. In the election spoken of he
ran way ahead OF his ticket and
was proud of the vote which placed
handle to his name. He was bet
ter known as Billy Freeze and
many people would not know him
by any other name. His friends
held a sort OF ratification meeting
after the election and called on
Billy to make a speech and here is
what he said:
Boys, this is a new business to
me. | have hid under the table
in Tombstone while the Earps were
shooting up the place and killing
the faro dealers. | have climbed on
the house tops while cowboys were
practicing target shooting at my
partner l have had my pockets
picked by politicians in Tucson and
helped the pumpkin eaters of Phoe-
nix to send DR.. Goodrich and Col.
Eggers to Chicago, but this is the
first time | ever knew l was a
statesman
At this there were cheers and
laughter, after which Billy continu-
ed:
1T makes you laugh, does it?
Well, when | get 10 making laws
to govern you old blacklegs it will
be my turn to laugh"
And then the man who told the
story pledged the Journal Miner
man not to use his name if it was
printed, saying. Il told it because
the freak legislation adopted at the
recent election in this state remind
ed me OF frcakish Billy Freeze.
