MORENC| W OMAN MEETS SUDDEN
 DEATH
Mrs. J. D. Ramsey, of Morenei, Acci- dentally Shot While on Way to Mountains in Company With Illus band.

A pail of deepest gloom and sor- row surrounds a party of Morenci men and women who started this morning for pleasant outing in the hills, and instead of enjoying the anti cipated happy camping trip to the mountains, the party returned to Clifton this evening bearing with hem one of their number cold in death. Her ending was sudden and tr gic and the dead womans com panions are bowed in grief.
 The party from Morenci which was composed of MT. ana Mrs. J. D. Ramsey and son, MT. and Mrs. D. Brown and Miss Leila Ulery left this morning for an extended hunting and pleasure trip to the mountains going by the way of Clifton up the Frisco river. They had proceeded to a point about three miles above the Harper ranch about 4:S0 o'clock when they decided to make camp
 
 were some two or three hundred yards ahead of the rest of the party and had dismounted by the side of the road. Mrs. Ramsey com plained to her husband of feeling i'll and wished to rest for time before making camp. MT. Ramsey united slicker from behind his saddle and supporting his wife with one arm took her to the side of the road and started to lay her on the slicker when in stopping over a Al calibre six-shooter dropped out of its folds and striking the ground was dis charged, the bullet striking Mrs. Ramsey in the stomach near her right thigh and lodging in her back.
 About this time the remainder of the party rode up and Will Zumwalt, who was coming to Clifton in a wag- on, reached the spot as the accident occurred. Mrs. Ramsey was uncon- scfous from the first and her friends did not know for a few minutes that she had been shot, thinking that she had tainted from her illness Blood was soon found trickling from the wound and everything possible was done to aid her in her fight for life, but she succumbed in short time. MT. zumwalt brought the body to Clifton to the Pascoe Undertaking Parlors, reaching here about eight O. clock tonight. A coroner's jury was empaneled and their finding was to the effect that the woman's death was purely accidental. At the time of going to press the disposition of the body had not been decided upon but it is thought that the remains will for time at least be inferred in the Morenci cemetery.
 Mrs. Ramsey was the oldest dau- ghter of MT. and Mrs. c. M. Ulery, of Morenci, and was also the sister of Mrs. Brown and Miss Leila Ulery, who were her companions on the trip which ended in the tragedy. She had lived in Morenci for the past three years, her husband having been en- ployed in the D. c. shelter, and has many friends there who will be inex- pressably shocked over her sudden demise. The bereaved husband and near relatives have the sympathy of everyone in their sudden loss.
 This is the second sudden death in this section within a week, both cases being practically parralel. It was one week ago this afternoon when Ed Van Antwerp met similar fate near Duncan while returning from a hunt ing trip, his death being caused by the accidental discharge of gun and the time and similarity of the two accidents are remarkable coinciden- |ces
