CAPTAIN N. SHARPE
 DIED IN LOS ANGELES
Passing of Another We'll Known
 Arizona Pioneer.

Frank AlEire received a telegram last night from Mrs. Dora Burger in Los Angeles, announcing the death of her father, Captain Nathaniel Sharpe, in that city, and with the further m- formation that tGC funeral would he held in Phoenix on Tuesday afternoon at 2:S0 o'clock, at the undertaking parlors.

He was to all merely ''an old timer, and one of the leading men in the county when 1 came here" It is sufficient to know that he was among the first settlers and had lived in Arizona possibly thirty or thirty five years Previous to that time he lived in California for a number of years, for he was of that old school of frontiersmen who have pushed the civilization of the east across the western plains and through the Rocky mountains to the western sea.

With ad- vancing years he gave up ranching and moved to the valley, living for some years near Tempe. From there he moved to the vicinity of Alhambra, but sold his farm there some time ago. Mrs. Sharpe died two or three years ago, and since then her husband had been failing rapidly, his death ensuing from the complications of old age.
 The captain was S6 years old, and was born in the state of Tennessee. He was a lifelong democrat of the old
