MESA NEWS NOTES
DEATH RESULTS FROM
PECULIAR ACCIDENT
Julius Hanson, Aged Sixty Years,
Threw Burning Match in Rake
Load of Hay

julius Eansen, aged sixty years and
unmarried died yesterday forenoon
about nine o'clock as result of burns
received about the head and chest in
a bayfield, on the Christensen ranch,
seven miles southwest of Mesa Tues
day evenirS about six O'Clock. y short
funeral service was held at the UNDER
taking perlors yesterday evening after
which the body was laid to rest in the
Mesa cemetery. The deceased has d
brother in Phoenix. Theodore Hansen,
who is driver of an express and bag
gage wagon.
1t is stated that the deceased came
to the Mesa section about three weeks
ago and was given employment on the
Christensen ranch. He was engaged
in raking bay with an ordinary self
dumping rake on the ranch when the
accident causing his death transpired.
According to the statement made, he
had lighted his pipe and thrown the
match down, which was presumably
still burning, into the hay collected
underneath the rake. The hay soon
commenced burning the flames envel-
opinS tho man sitting upon the seat.
Just why the man did not leave the
rake and save his life is uneXplain-
able. He had ample time to make his
escape before the flames had mounted
as high as his body. II is believed by
the men on the ranch that he became
confused until he was unable to under
stand Just bow he could eXtricate him
self. There was = foot lever on the
rake which would have dumped the
load with little eXerticn on the part o.
the driver and whereby. had he kept
the team moving. would have left the
burning hay behind. He was familiar
with the working of the rake and evil
gently knew the manner in which he
could have made his escape had he
taken time to have given the matter
consideration.
Medical attendance was summoned
soon after the accident but the flames
had been breathed into the lungs and
all efforts were UnaVaiIing. 1t was de-
cided yesterday morning to remove the
man to tie home of Mrs. Nilette Lee
Baron, where he could have better ac-
