STRINGFIELD, Robert

Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, November 4, 1891, page 3.4 Robert Stringfield, of Williamson valley, met with an accident last evening about six o'clock, which may result fatally. He and a companion named Fitzgerald, both more or less under the influence of liquor, it is alleged by those who saw them, came down Montezuma street at a break neck speed in a light spring wagon. In turning into Gurley street between Hotel Burke and Kelly & Stephens' the wagon careened, throwing Stringfield a distance of thirty feet to the hard ground. He fell with great force on his right side, his head striking the ground with the greatest violence, producing concussion of the brain. He was lifted on a stretcher and carried to a room at Martin Maier's building, where Dr. Livingstone made an examination of his injuries. His entire body was found badly bruised from head to feet, and his face was cut and bruised. Dr. Livingstone being called to Jerome this morning, he turned his patient over to Dr. Davis, who made a thorough examination, but could find no further indication of injury. At the time of going to press this afternoon he was still unconscious, and while the attending physician pronounces his condition very critical, he says there are slight chances in favor of recovery. -------------------------------------- Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, November 4, 1891, page 3 Robert Stringfield never recovered consciousness - after being thrown from his wagon on Thursday evening and died on Sunday morning about 5 o'clock.
