Ben Grant, an old time and well known faro player in the west, died of
hemorrhage in the Palace saloon last night. He was sitting in a chair
talking when he felt the hemorrhage coming on and called for some salt,
but by the time it reached him he was spitting blood very fast, and Dr.
McGinnis was summoned. He arrived in a few moments and did all he could
do.

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