Besides Wm. NJ. Gray, he was also he father of Thomas Gray of Phe- nix and Mrs. G. w. NJ. Tatum of Georgla. His wife died in 1882. 1 find out from people who have lived near him in the various locations where he has resided, that he was always the same high minded, hon orable gentleman, and in every way done his part to make the world better that he lived in. I have had a personal acquaintance with Grand pa Gray for over five years. I always found him to be a grand old man. One of the touching scenes at the funeral was the grief of the children of Wm. M. Gray over the loss of their grandpa. Last fall he fell and injured his spine, causing partial paralysis, which grew worse until he became perfectly helpless. He bore his suffering without murInur and made as little trouble for the family as possible, and patiently waited for the final summons. He was a mem Der of the Masonic order for about fifty years and also a member of the Baptist church. He was one of na- ture's nobIemen in life and has gone to meet the welcome of natures God in death.
 He was buried near the new church on Lower Verde. There was large funeral procession. MT. Gray and family feel very greatful to the peo- pie for their many kind acts toward deceased ard themselves during the sickness and death of their father 1 q " H

A FATAL ACCIDENT.
A Little Boy Run Over and Killed by the Tram Near the Electric
 Light Works.


 A horrible accident occurred this afternoon near the electric light plant, resulting in the instant death of a little boy, the son of Section Foreman D. G. Locke and wife. The passenger train was just pulling out, with Thos. MeGrath as conductor and Tobe Miller as engineer, ,and just as it was on the curve past the cleo tric light plant, the little fellow was noticed on the track, within a few feet of the engine. The air brakes were immediately applied, but, though the train was not running at high rate of speed, it could not be stopped and the ponderous en- zine crushed the boy beneath its wheels, cutting the little body in two pieces and severing one arm from the body.
 The train was brought to a stand still and the remains were tenderly gathered up and placed in the baggage car and the train backed tC the depot where they were cared for The agony of the mother, on being informed of the death of her loveC one, was heart rending in the ex treme. The little one was only three or four years old, and tht mother, it is said, had often ex pressed fear that such an accident would befall it. Se far as particu lars were learned no blame could b, attached to anyone
