Unknown Miner Is Found Dead

James Casey, a former miner, of Ray, was found dead early yesterday
afternoon at 200 South McCormick street, where he had been rooming.
Justice Ted Ross, acting as coroner, was summoned, and discovered
that the man, who was tubercular, had died in a hemorrhage.

Litte is known about Casey in this city, as he had come from Ray but
a short time ago. Sixteen pennies were found in his pocket, also
and Ingersol watch, three razors, a carpenter's rule and a few
clothes constituted his belongings.

Poll and road tax receipts for 1920, and his registration cards
issued during the World war, were found in a wallet.

The man apparently was about 50 years old, and a slip of paper
indicated that he had formerly worked for the Ray Consolidated.

There are no known relatives, but the body was removed to the
Ruffner funeral parlors pending further efforts to locate his
family.

Coroner Ross decided that no inquest was necessary.

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