WHO'S WHO IN THE SENATE
Arizona Gazette.


There is one thing certain that
George Hiram Chase, sole member
of the Second State Senate from
Greenlee county, can brag about
that no other member of the senate
can, and that is, he served in the
civil war.
Senator Chase is the Oldest MEM
Der of the Second Arizona state SEN
ate, and is known throughout the
born in Washington, N. Y, May
Fl, 1913. 80
: George Hiram Chase was a young
man when the civil war broke out
and at once enlisted on the Union
side He was mustered out as .
sergeant-major with two other COM
missions in his pocket-those of first
lieptenant and captain, but he never
cared to qualify.
He served in the war during its
entire four years and Gen. Kilpat-
rick was his first colonel. He was
in the battles of Gettysburg, Chan
cellorsville, Bull Run and many 9TH
ers. AT the second battle of Bull
Run 1 run like the devil said Uncle
George"
After the war Senator Chase
heard the call of the west and
moved from New York to Chicago.
He was an expert mechanic in those
days, and is at the present
time, for that matter. Clifton, Ariz. 4.
heard of his work and sent for him.
III be there at once" he said, and
just seventeen years ago he became
a resident of Clifton, Greenlee county,
Arizona.
Senator Chase has resided in Cliff
ton since that time. This is his sec
ond term in the state legislature,
having been a member of the first,
to which he was elected Nov. 8,
1911. In the present legislature he
is a member of the education and
anpublic institutions, constitutional
mandates, constitutional amendments
and labor committees. He is chair
man of the labor committee and was
chairman of the education and pub
lie institutions, but resigned in favor
of Senator Frances Munds.
Senator Chase received his name
Uncle George from a jockey years
ago, but Don't put that in tho
horses, for the sheriff of Greenlee
county is liable to come after me"
he protested.
The senator is married. He has
been a member of the Masonic or
der for fifty years and is a relative
of Salmon P. Chase, secretary Of
state under President Abraham Lin
coin. His father was born in Eng
land and his mother in Ireland.
1.-The Chase family are workers.
Why, only yesterday l received a
letter wanting 81 to defray expenses
toward a Chase family reunion back
in Massachusetts. III be there. Yes
I WILL" he said, joking as the inter-
view ended.

had purposeIy dropped it from the
car.
Hernandez pitched forward, his
head going through the windshield
and being badly cut. The bullet en-
tered the small of his back, ranging
upward and out of the front of his
chest. His death was probably in
Fstant. He was 35 years old and had
been resident Of Douglas 10 years. A
wife and two children survive him.
He was well known as an auto driver
in this city.
Ben Merriwether, Augusta, Ga, and
Charles Bingle, Afkens, s. c., both
enlisted about a year ago, colored
and members of Troop B, 9Th cavalry,
committed the murder. Bingle as
serts that Merriwether fired the shot,
while he alleges Bfngle did. Both
confess to assault upon a Mexican
shortly after leaving the Douglas
camp Saturday evening at dark. The
Mexican was knocked down but rails
ed an outcry and scared the negroes
away before they could search him
for money.
They then went to Hernandez and
at 1880 hired him to drive them to
Bisbee. Near Forest, Bingle claims
his companion told him to drop his
hat from the machine and he would
do business" with the driver while
the hat was being recovered. Bingle
claims that returning with his hat
he saw the rifle lifted and yelled to
Merriwether not to shoot, but to no
avail. Later they used an army
overcoat trying to clean up the blood
about the car, hoping to make the
death of the driver appear accidental.
Furthering this, they lifted the body
out and threw it on the ground. The
car was pulled well to the roadside
and was not noticed in the night.
The negroes walked back to Doug
las camp, after searching the dead
body. They allege they got nothing
from it.
The officers found the army coat,
covered with blood yesterday morning
and later traced two men to the
army camp. They found Merriweth-
er's gun uncleaned, he having put it
away but not had chance to clean it.
Subsequently he and Bingle were ar
