SMITH, H. E.

Arizona Daily Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Thursday, February 18, 1904 Dead Man Was Found Two men came into the office of the board of supervisors this afternoon and reported that they had found the remains of a man this morning near his cabin on Blind Indian creek, about five miles southwest of Prescott. They did not know who the man was but he seemed to be a prospector and had evidently gotten his clothes on fire in his cabin and had run out of doors and the flames and smoke coming up in his face had suffocated him and he fell unconscious and was burned to death. He had not been seen for about a week in that neighborhood and it is supposed he had been dead for several days. Justice Talbot empanelled a coroner’s jury and with the two men and Deputy Geo. Heisler and Undertaker Logan went out to hold the inquest and bring the remains to town for burial. ------------------ Arizona Daily Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Friday, February 19, 1904 The remains of the man who was found yesterday near his cabin on Indian creek, were identified as those of a man by the name of Smith.
