MEMORIAL SERVICE
 FOR REV. R. ). LATTER
His Only Regret at Dying Was That His Work Was Unfinished.

Memorial services were held In the Baptist church yesterday morning for Rev. R. D. Latter. A fund was taken for the purchase of a colposteurage wagon, R. b Latter was engaged in the colporteuTs service at the time of his death. The large audience gener- ously responded to the call for funds and a collection of $31 was taken. Rev. c. Sidney Maddox then spoke on the circumstances connected with his death which were as follows:
 Rev. R. D. Latter died at Middle Verde, Ariz., where he was assisting Pastor Eugene Keene in revival meet ings. On Monday Jan. Il. he mounted a horse which fell backward and crushed him. On Wednesday at 2:30 am. he passed quietly away from heart
 failure. After his death 1t was found that the remains could not be shipped and it was necessary to bury him the same day.
 Bro Latter left Phoenix just before
 Christmas to hold meetings at Upper
 Verde. He had not been well. but he
 got better and was never in finer spirits than at the time of the acci-
 dent The meetings at Middle Verde began Wednesday evening; from the
 first there was a good interest, which seemed to grow until Sunday when there were four confessions. After the
 pastor had preached both morning and evening Bro Latter made strong eX-
 hortations. He had great hopes for many conversions and even after he
 was hurt he urged the pastor not to close the meetings. He said there were especially three men to whom he wish ed to speak about their souls. He said that he could not give up, as he had so much to do for the Lord. His only thought seemed to be about the
 work which was always nearer to his heart than anything else.
 Bro. Latter had been Sunday school missionary and colportuer for Arizona under the American Baptist Publication Society for the past five years or more No one in Arizona has been so universally loved for his works sake; and no one could be missed more from the work at this time. But we must leave all things with Him who loves us and gave Himself for us. Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord" | The cemetery where Bro. Latter's body was laid to rest is the oldest in the Verde Valley, near the church
 where he helped to conduct his last revival. In June. 1905, this same church was revived through his preaching and faithful work It was i through the efforts of Bro. Latter that
 Rev. Eugene Keene came to the Verde

DEATH CAME
 IN A FLASH The EIeCtrOcutiOn of Harry
 Williams TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE The Lad Had Climbed One of the Government Trans missionssT O v CTS and Touched a Nearby Wire With His Foot.
HE TOUCHED A LIVE WIRE

A most deplorable accident happen ed yesterday at half past eleven near the Pacific creamery, when Harry Will Hams. the l1-vear- son of w. Will Hams, an employe of the creamery. lost his life by electrocution.
 Harry and a boy friend, Victor Cor bell. were playing about the creamery and, when the accident occurred, they were engaged in climbing the govern ment transmission towers. The boys had removed their shoes to better climb the steel towers mad Harry was well toward the top of one of them and Victor was on the ground when the fatal accident occurred. At that point the Tempe Light and Power company's line comes near the govern ment line and. by reaching out his foot, it was possible for the lad to touch the power company's wire. This line yesterday carried something near II 900 volts The boy clinging to the steel tower playfully reached out his left foot and touched one of the live wires. Death was practically instanta- neOus. No one SO far as could be learned yesterday afternoon, witnessed the accident just at the moment the victim received the shock, but Ray Nichols at the creamery noticed the boy on the tower and but a few mo- ments later glanced his way again. This was probably not over thirty seconds after the shock, for the lads head had fallen back and he hung for perhaps a minute longer to the tower before he fell to the ground. a distance prob ably of thirty-five or forty feet
 Word was sent to town at once and Dr. Brechan arrived in a few minutes. He made an examination of the boys body and found no marks or injuries other than a small burned spot on the foot where it had come in contact with the live wire.
 Justice of the Peace Carr was also promptly notified and he empaneled a jury. the members of which. after wis itine the scene of the accident and learning all they could of it, submitted the following report:
 We. the jury empaneled and sworn on this, the 31st day of January. 1909, to view the remains of one certain de ceased and to inquire the name of the person and the cause of his death, do on our oaths affirm as follows: That we find the name of the deceased to be Harry Williams. boy II years old. and that he accidentally came to his death by an act of his own, having climbed one of the government trans mission towers and then reaching his left foot over and placing it on live wire about three feet distant, the said live wire belonging to the Tempe Light and Power company. located just north of the Pacific creamery.
