Death of Percy H. McMahon

Percy H. McMahon, a we'll knowr
 Los Angeles mining engineer, dieC
 suddenly near Franconia, this county
 while coming in from the mines ot
 Chemehuevis mountain, last Monday
 afternoon.
 Mir. McMahon had gone to the mines,
 near Scott's We'll, last Sunday and ex-
 amined properties owned by J. S. Nor
 we'll. During the night he was taken
 ill and the next morning went to the camp of John Carpenter and asked to
 be taken to the railroad at Franconia, as he was a very ill man. MT. Carpen- ter told him that he would do so, but that he would have to go to Arastra Well, where s. R. Porter and party had gone Saturday to examine mining property. Carpenter took MT. McMa- hon to the Forks of the road, whence he proceeded to Arastra We'll, picked up Mir. Porter, J. c. Bjorn and Manuel Ruiz, returning to the main road and picking up Mir. McMahon again. Me Mahon did no talking to the other men in the wagon, hut did not appear to be ill. On the way he drank twice from a canteen and soon thereafter those riding on the rear seat observed that he was leaning forward, as though looking down at the bottom of the wagon. MT. Carpenter turned around and looked at the man and said. "He is dying" The team was stopped and the men ascertained that McMahon had lapsed into unconsciousness. They worked over him for about thirty min utes and then took out the back seat of the wagon and laid him down on some bedding. Failing to bring hIm to they concluded that the best thing to do was to get to the railroad where | a physician could be brought in, but the stricken man died within three | miles of the railroad. His body was taken to the station and the Sheriff | was notified. Owing to the fact that the Franconia office is only open at night difficulty was had in communi- ;ating with that place, but finally the coroner ordered the body brought to Nngman, where it was embaImed and to Los Angeles Thursday afternoon.
 P. H. McMahon was we'll known throughout the desert section, having lad charge of one of the properties at for twelve years and had
 wide acquaintance. s. P. Mcknight, ivil engineer, of Kingman, was an old riend and took charge of the ship bent of the body to Los Angeles. He tates that MT. McMahon was one of he most wholesouled men and that wherever he went he made a wide ircle of friends.
 He leaves a wife in Los Angeles.

Henry Lovin this week circulated a petition addressed to the postoffice de- partment praying that some action be taken regarding the erection of new pOstoffice building. Mir. Lovin agrees to build a structure that will accom- modate the Kingman poStotfiee on the lots between the ice plant and the residence of H. H. Watkins, on Beale street, if the department will rent the building for a term of years. The petition was numerously signed by the people of Kingman and it is probable that it will result in Kingman getting a new postoffice building.

FINE ENTERTAINMENT
lutz Lyric Company Presents Excel
lent Program at Sank Centre

The first number of the four enter
tainments arranged for by Rev. r. w.
Duel was given at the Methodist
church Friday evening. December II,
when the Lutz Lyric Company ap-
peared before fair sized audience.
The company consists of Rev. G.
w. LutZ and his wife, and their two
daughters. Miss Gail Duniway LutZ.
Miss Imogene Lutz, all of St. Paul.
The program consisted of musical
numbers and recitations and was highly
pleasing: in fact many have often paid
four times the admission fee for
much inferior entertainment.
Mr. and Mrs. Lutz sang several
duets, the first being ''Die Nachti-
gall, and responding with the Cob
ble' duet from 1.-THE Mascot. Both
were rendered in artistic style. Mr..
Lulz has a clear tenor voice, well cul-
tlvated and his work is excellent.
Mrs. Lutzs soprano blends nicely
| with it. ~
The older of the two daughters,
Miss Gail Duniway Lutz, though but
nineteen. possesses contralto voice
of rare power which bids fair to bring
her goodly modicum of fame. She
sang several selections and each time
received a hearty encore. Miss Lutz's
voice has a remarkable range and
shows to the best effect in the lowest
lower register She was enthusiastic
cally received and it was quite gener-
| ally remarked after the entertain
nent that her voice was unusual if
not phenomenal. She certainly has
a bright future.
Miss Imogene Lutz gave several re-
citations and captured her audience,
especially with her portrayals of
child life. She received hearty en-
core after each number. She also &C
companied her parents and her sister
on the piano, her work there being in
every way satisfactory.
Mrs. LutZ gave two recitations
which demonstrated her ability in
that line. Mr. LutZ sandwiched in
several informal talks" in which he
preached the gospel of sunshine and
good cheer, enlivening all with hum
orous stories. The entertainment
closed with vocal trio, ''The Flag
Without Stain,' by Mr.. and Mrs.
LutZ and Miss Gail LutZ. The COM
pany will be warmly welcomed at any
time they may visit here again.

Typhoons increase their strength as
they go north and consequently there
may be quite difference between the
power of one in the southern end OF
the West Indian islands as compared
with one in the north. 1t is this fea-
ture, which makes the hurricanes OF
