| Prescott Evening Courier, Prescott, Arizona Territory Monday, April 29, 1907, page 3, column 2 Local News - Last Friday Louis Burns, a driver for Ruffner's Plaza Stables, took a party of men to a mining camp in Copper Creek district, left them and started on his return to Prescott. When he did not return Friday evening or Saturday morning, Ruffner sent Mr. Aikins out to look for him. Three miles southeast of Prescott a small creek flows across the road. There Atkins found the team standing and the dead body of Burns on the ground beside the wagon. Atkins returned to town with the vehicle and corpse. A coroner's jury was called and decided that Burns came to his death from a wound in the head caused by falling from the wagon and striking his head on a rock. Burns had been a consumptive and had been feeble for years. He was about 50 years old and had resided here a quarter of a century. The funeral will take place from Ruffner's undertaking parlors today. Transcriber's note: Mr. Burns is buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
