While engaged in operating a machine drill in a drift on the 1,000-
foot level of the Yeager Canyon mine, sixteen miles east of here,
yesterday morning, about 2:30 o’clock, Abato Aranda was instantly
killed by part of the roof of the drift caving in on him. Deceased
was aged about 30 years and a native of Mexico. He leaves no known
relatives in this part of the Territory.

His remains were taken in charge by the Ruffner establishment and
brought to this city last night for interment.

About 4 o'clock yesterday morning a telephone message was received
at the sheriff's office that a man had been killed at the Yeager
mine, and to send out a coroner.

The man was killed at 1 a.m., while at work on the 1000 foot level,
by a rock falling on him. His name was Abato Arando (sic Aranda).
He was a Texas-Mexican, and had lived in this section for about five
years. He was 30 years of age.

The remains were brought to Ruffner's undertaking parlors last
evening. Justice McLane went out and held an inquest. The verdict
of the jury was accidental death.

Transcriber's note: Mr. Aranda is buried in an unmarked grave at
the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
