ANOTHER FATALITY.
w. B. Taylor Meets His Death While Taking Supplies to
 Ills Ranch.

into a fever of excitement, and thrill of commisserstion was experienced by all when the dead body of Wm. B. Tayl br was brought into town, the vic tim of a sad accident.
 On Wednesday afternoon MT. Tay- Tor, accompanied by Chas. Mowbrey, left Tombstone tor the formers ranch win load ef supplies. When about 9 niles from town the horses attached to the blackboard became unmanage- abe and preceded to run away at a break-neck speed. The horses were powerful and spirited animals, and on several occasions before evinced their ungoyernableness. During the excite ment of the moment the reins were evidently dropped and the leit-hand liue falling on the wheel was instantly wound about the axle and the horses ran around in circle, throwing both occupants from their seats, Mowbrey being thrown to the right while swing ing around, and Taylor was thrown directly beneath the front wheel which passed over his head and caused his death. The violence and force of his fall can best be judged from descrip- ton of the tracks where he fell, which were seen by the relief party, when it is stated that hole was noticed into which it was evident his head had been ground by the wheel. The ho,- ses made four distinct circles with the blackboard and finally got to a point about 200 yeards from the accident where they stopped, having become en- tangled in theIr harness and Inab e to go further.
 Mowbrey, upon recovering from his fall, outside of few bruises being otherwise unhurt, went 10 Taylor's side and found him grooming and ask ing for water Whereupon Mowbrey set out for Cowan's ranch, about s miles distant, little thinking that his friend was 60 seriously hurt. He truged on and during the darkness lost his road and at dsybreak found himself wandering in wrong direc- iion. He finally reached Cowan's ranch at abou, , o'clock in the morn ing and returned with the water only to find that Taylor was cead.
 The team, which was thought by Mowbrey 10 have gone direct home, was found standing in one spot all through the night and as evidence of their restlessness they had stamped the ground solid beneath their feet.
 Mowbrey unlastened the team and rehitched them, making all possible haste to the Duval ranch to secure help and bring tue dead body to town. Messrs. Hugh Conlon, Ssmona, Beatty and Mowbrey returned and found Taylor under mesquite. Evidences of the last struggle, sgonies and throes Of death of the deceased was indie sted by the convulsive grasps at the grass and marss on the ground-every spear within reach having been torn up. Traces We're found where Taylor had walked some 100 feet and in that short distance had fell three different times
