The Dead Body of D. w. Sparks
Found Yesterday at His Home.

David Washington Sparks. aged
about IS and a resident of Phoenix
for twenty years passed away at his
home at 40S North Seventh avenue
Tuesday night, it is thought, between
the hours of . and 10 o'clock. The
fact of his death was not discovered
till yesterday morning. a coroner
jury was summoned by Justice John
stone and after viewing the remains
returned a verdict of death by nat
ural causes. The members of the
jury were Luke Harden, r. G.. Ham
iltOn, w. V. Davenport, c. ]. She'll
man, ]. a. Porterie and Jos. F. Frank
lin.
The deceased had been seen about
town Tuesday and appeared to be in
his usual spirits though some thought
as long as a week ago he showed
signs of unusual feebleness and was
apparently worrying over something.
Tuesday night he took supper at the
home of William KnivetOn, a neigh
Dor, and he did not complain of any
illness.
He prepared for bed about 9 o'clock
and sat for a while in a chair on the
porch and fell asleep. Later he awak-
ened and lay down on the cot on
