A SERIOUS IMJURY.-Ellis Will
cox left for Los Angeles last night
in company with his brother, Carl
Wilcox, to secure the services of an
eye specialist for the former. Mr.. Will
COX. as has been previously announced,
during the past summer invented a
moving machine that is operated on
entirely new lines and that promises
to be a remarkable success. The in
vention, though, may cost him the
sight of one eye. About three weeks
ago while he was working on his model
at the Standard Iron works a silver Of
steel was accidentally thrown into
the eye just above the pupil. Thus far
its removal has not been accomplish
ed and Mr.. Wilcox was advised to go
to Los Angeles for that purpose.

MRS. /. L. MERRILL OEAO.-Thc
many friends of I. L. Merrill. late su-
Derintendent OF the Calumet and Arr
IONA properties in the Warren dis
| trict. will be grieved to hear of the
death Of Mrs. !. L. Merrill. at her home
! in Les Angeles, says the Bsbce Re
view. The grim visitor came without
a moments warning ard struck down
the life which it seemed was Just en-
ter'ing into the full fruition of its ac-
comDlishment. Mr. Merrill had just
completed a very handsome residence
| in Les Angeles, and was the soul of
delight at the near approach of what
his esteemed wife had so ardently de-
sired, a home of rest and peace, and
quiet, after. years of activity upon the
part of her husband. whose active life
Is 50 wen known TO the people of Bis
bee. Just before Christmas Mr.. Mer-
rill left Bisbee to join his family in Los
Angeles. Mrs. Merrill died OF heart
failure, and it seems all the sadder
that after years devotedly spent with
her energetic husband in the rougher
experiences of mining camps, and then
removing amidst scenes of surround
ing more refined, she should be cut off
in a moment, right at the threshold of
her desires. Mrs. Merrill leaves her
husband and two children, one a boy
about twelve, and a little girl of ;soout
seven years of age.
