Asa. Gardner Saved
From Spending Night
In Jail BY A Woman

Deputy Sheriff Asa Gardner
barely escaped being arrested and
placed in Jail at Blythe, Calf, last
Friday soon after his arrival in that
town, where he resided eight wears
before coming to Arizona from 1908
: to 1916.
The incident that almost got Asa
in Jail was frustrated by an old
woman friend, who knew Asa when
he was residing at Blythe. The old
woman, on meeting Asa just as the
Blythe minions of the law were,
coming UP to place him under ar
rest, threw her arms around him
and subsequently hustled him off
to her home, where the whole
family feasted and entertained
him royalty.
The Jail part of this story is
myth-a three-day rodeo was being
held at Blythe, and Asa was a
specially invited guest; a mock
Jail had been erected in the main
street and committee of phony
officers were waiting for Asa to
arrive, and had it not been for his
popularity with women in general
and one old woman in particular he
would have spent his first night in
Blythe in Jail.
The rodeo was held Friday,
Saturday and Sunday of last week
Asa described it to The Examiner
as being a real rodeo," with a
variety of attractions and large at
tendance.
