Accidental Death near Franconia

Last night message was received by the coroner from Franconia con- veying the intelligence of the death of Mir. Rivard by the accidental dis charge of his gun. Mir. Rivard was at the time of his death at the head of a company of Los Angeles men that had in view the putting in of large mill ing plant to handle the gold bearing concreted gravel beds of the eastern slope of the Chemehuevis mountains, twelve miles south of Franconia. The company was receiving material for the plant, several carloads of which is on the road. Just how the accident which resulted in the death of Rivard occurred could not be learned. The body will be brought to Franconia and after the inquest will probably be shipped to Los Angeles.
 Mr. Rivard was one of the first en- gineers on the Santa Fe railroad and was the first sheriff of Coconino coun- ty, Arizona. He was a bright, hust- ling man and had many warm friends along the line of the Santa Fe and among the railroad men of the other roads,

Mrs. Maggie Kayser, only daughter of Mir. and Mrs. William B. Ridenour, died at Blackberry, Arizona, October 4, 1907, after a ten days illness. Mrs. Kayser was born and educated in this territory. She was an amiable, sweet spirited young woman and greatly be- loved by all who had the pleasure of her acquaintance. She was married to William l.. Kayser January 25th. 1899, and for nearly nine years shared with him the lights and shadows of pioneer life. She was faithful, de- voted wife, tender mother, loving sister and atfectionate daughter, and a true and sympathetic friend. Her death has spread a gloom over the en- tire community. Friends came from a distance to attend the funeral. King man Lodge No. 46S Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks sent dele- gation to convey flowers and express their sympathy with the bereaved husband and members of the family oi deceased.
 The writer, at the request of the relatives, conducted the funeral serv. ice at the home. The choir sang at the house and at the grave the hymns she loved, and Mrs. Patterson sang with great sweetness Looking this Way" The body lies in beautifully lined grave, banked with flowers near her Blackberry home, where the light of her love and goodness still finger and where she spent so many happy days walking hand in hand and taking sweet counsel with her beloved com, panion who, as also her parepts an6 brothers, have the heart felt sympathy of the entire community in their grea, loss. w.

Jail Break.

Yesterday morning when the jailer went into the county jail to look after the prisoners confined therein he found that all the birds but one had flown. There were four men in the jail when locking up time came the night before, but only one was on hand to respond to roll call the follow ing morning. Two of the men were in for burglary and the other on a mis- demeanor charge. It is believed that one of the burglars giving the name of R. J. Keayting did the job and the others took advantage of the opening to make their escape. The big staple on the door of the corridor had been sawn almost through and only requir- ed slight pressure to break, and when the prisoners were locked up for the night the staple was broken off and the men had only to saw hole through the wooden wall of the build- ing to get out. Indians tracked one of the men over the hills north of town to a point on the railroad east of town, where he was joined by the others. It is supposed that the men there board ed train and were miles away before morning
 Every effort is being made by the sheriff's office to apprehend the fugi- tives. Keayting was held for bur- glary, committed some time ago in Kingman. He was apparantely an old offender. Porfrio Olivas committed burglary at the San Francisco mine, robbing saloon of nearly 5O0$ and some liquors. The other man was a misdemeanor case.
