| Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, February 17, 1897, page 1, column 8 Death of Owen Stull A Well Known Yavapai Miner Accidentally Killed The assayer at the Senator mine arrived in town today about noon, bringing the sad intelligence that Owen Stull, a miner working on that property, had been found dead in one of the drifts. While but meager particulars are given by our informant, it would seem that Mr. Stull was working in one of the stopes in that mine, and evidently had lost his footing and fell a distance of nearly fifty feet into a drift below. He was badly bruised about the head and otherwise injured. At the point he was working most of his tools still remained, the candle stick being in place, but a drill was found beside him. Mr. Stull is said to have been subject to fainting or dizzy spells, and probably it was while experiencing an attack of this nature that he lost his balance. The deceased was a well-known miner of this section, and in his death much sorrow is felt. He leaves a wife and one child. Judge Moore went out this afternoon to hold an inquest, and upon his return definite particulars will be given. ----------------------------------------- Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, February 17, 1897, page 3, column 3 (From Friday's Daily) The funeral of the late Owen Stull will take place on Sunday between one and two o'clock from his late residence on Pleasant street under the auspices of the A.O.U.W. ----------------------------------------- Arizona Weekly Journal-Miner, Prescott, Arizona Wednesday, February 17, 1897, page 3, column 6 The late Owen W.
