 troI of Machine Relatives in New Mexico Are Notified

His back broken in a fall from motorcycle N D. Dillon. of Douglas. died last evening at the Copper Queen hospital He had been suffering from the effects of the fall since Sunday afternoon when he was thrown from his machine near the Forest ranch. Besides a broken back the young man suffered severe bruises about the side and head. and many cuts of a minor nature.
 Dillon was riding a Harley.Davison machine and was on his way back to Douglas His companions had gained on him from the time he left Bisbee. and he had opened his machine to highest speed in an effort to regain his lost ground. After crossing the Forest bridge, as near as can be de- termined. he struck a rock and lost control of the mochine. He was thrown off the road and pitched along with the machine several yards. the heavy engine finally falling with him.
 John Foster, of Bisbee, saw the sc- cideHt from a distance anI -vfhed iu his machine to the spot Dillon was unconscious when Foster reached his side, and was still in a daze when he had been brought to the Copper Queen hospital.
 Medical aid was at once gwen the youth at the hospital and at first there was much hope of his recovery. How ever, it was discovered on closer in- spection that his back was severely fractured. and he was dispaired of from then on. The end came at 9.3O o'clock last evening.
 Mir Dillon was an operator in the office of the El Paso & Southwestern railroad, at Douglas. He had been in the office of the company at that sta ton for the past year. He came to Douglas from Los Vegas, New Mexico where his parents are now residing Relatives In New Mexico have been notified of the accident and subse- quent death, and word is awaited from them before the final disposition of the body is made.
