ACCIDENTAL DEATH MEETS DUNCAN
 RESIDENT

DUNCAN, April 6.-(Special to Era) John Martin was shot and instantly killed by the accidental discharge of a rife early Saturday morning last at the Martin ranch near Mud Springs in New Mexico. His brother, Clarence, was with him at the time and word was sent into Duncan as soon as pos sible, notifying the family of the young mans death.
 Friends of the family went out to the ranch in autos and brought the remains of the young man to Duncan, where they were prepared for burial, the arrangements being in charge of the local lodge of Knights of Pythias, of which he was member.
 John Martin was 26 years of age on January 31st last, being born on Blue Creek in New Mexico, and had made his home in this vicinity all his life. He was a young man who had many friends, due to his cheerful disposi. tion and upright character. His death was severe blow to his par ents, especially so because of the fact that his brother Henry passed away but a short time ago.
 Besides the parents, and Mrs. J A. Martin, there is left to mourn his loss five sisters and two brothers, as fol lows: Mrs. Charles Fuller, of Lords burg, Mrs. Vernon Martin, of Clifton Mrs. Will Brooks, of Duncan; Miss Irene Martin, who is attending the Tempe Normal School; Miss Lucy Martin, residing at home; Charles c. and Clarence Martin, residing in Dun- can.
 The funeral services were conduct ed by the Knights of Pythias on Sun day afternoon, burial taking place in the local cemetery. The pail bearers were: W. M. Balfour, w. T. Witt, M. T. Sanders, w. T. Sanders, w. L. Cauthen, George Cosper and Wal ter Foster. The remains were fol lowed to their last resting place by a large number of friends and relatives Appropriate music was rendered at the grave by choir.
 The sympathy of the entire com munity is extended the bereaved fami, ly.

PHOENIX, Arizona, April

PHOENIX, Arizona, April G.
 Reese M. Ling, prominent attorney, democratic leader and good citizen of this state and city, died this morning shortly after g o'clock, following a short and severe illness. The imme- diate cause of death was odoema of the lungs following an attack of acute indigestion.
 It became known last night that MT. Ling's condition was highly dangerous but it was reprted early this morn ing that he was still alive and that there was possibility of his recov- cry. His death comes as a shock to his hosts of friends throughout the state, county and city.
 Reese M. Ling had been a resident of Arizona since 1885. He was born in Holmes county, Ohio, May 16, 1866, the only son of Martin and Mary Reese Ling. His father was veteran of the civil war and was one of the first to respond to President Lin til Lees surrender.
 Reese Ling attended the public schools of Holmes county, and at the unusually early age of fourteen en- tered the state university at Colum- bus, O., where he was a student for three years. He came to Arizona in 1885 and was graduated from the Tempe Normal school in the same year. He taught school for two years at Prescott and then entered the law department of the university of Michi- gan, from which he was graduated in 1890, valedictorian of class number ing 2S0 students. He was admitted to practice in Michigan, but returned to Arizona and practiced successfully for a number of years in Prescott. In 1912 he removed to Phoenix and en- tered into partnership with George H. Stoneman, which partnership con- tinued until 1914. He was known throughout the state as a sound and brilliant lawyer and his firm has been engaged in some of the most import ant litigation that has come before the state and federal courts.
 He was active in democratic poli- tics and was a candidate at the pri- maries for the office of United States senator. He was the first national committeeman from the state of Ari- zona and held that position until suc- needed by Senator Fred Colter a few Geeks ago.
 MT. Ling was prominent member
 the Elks, being the oldest living
 t exalted ruler in the state. He :c--3d the B. P. O. E. in Prescott.

REESE LING DEAD AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
 WELL KNOWN ATTORNEY HAS PASSED ON

did manhood, at the height of his use fitness, our brother, Reese M. Ling, has been taken from us.
 He stood without peer in the no ble profession of the law, always steadfast for his clients, true and trusted, ethical and of the highest ideals; a man beloved by his fellow practitioners and held in the utmost esteem and respect by all. His voice was ever raised in behalf of the op- pressed and in the upholding of the law,the courts and the institutions of the nation. He had attained unusual distinction in his chosen profession, in which he had labored since his early manhood for more than a quar- ter of a century, when, as a youth of but twenty-two iyears,at Prescott, Ari- zona, he embarked upon his career as a lawyer. He was man of excep- tional oratorical ability, clear judg- ment and remarkably strong reason ing power.
 He met his death with a calm and courageous confidence born of quiet conscience and a firm conviction that his well spent life was a guaranty of future welfare.
 ''The vase is broken; the wine has oozed forth.
 Therefore, be it resolved, That in the untinely demise of our brother, Reese M. Ling, we, the members of the Bar Association of Maricopa coun- ty, Arizona, have suffered an irrepara- ble loss and; to the dear ones left in grief by our departed brothers, we, as our only means of attempting to al leviate their keen sorrow, do tender our sincere sympathy and condolence in this, their hour of trial and be it further,
 Resolved, that this memento of our brother be spread upon the records of the Maricopa County Bar Associe- tion; copy delivered to the supreme court of Arizona, the United States district court of Arizona, the superior Courts of Maricopa and Yavapai coun- ties and the Bar association of Arizo- na, with the request that it be en- rolled upon the records of such courts and association, and a further copy be given to the relatives of the departed one.

SCHOOL TRUSTEES HELD MEETING
 SATURDAY
At Which Time Officers Were Elected and Matters Pertaining to School Work Were Discussed

The school trustees of Clifton Dis- tr1ct No. met at the South Clifton Grammar School building on Saturday last for the purpose of electing. off. cers and the discussion of various matters of importance which had re- gently come up for consideration. O. A. Risdon was elected president of the board with Chas. L. Alt clerk. G.. L. Coffee, the recently elected member, was also present.
 One of the first matters attended to by the board was the reelection of J. A. Davis as superintendent of the Clifton public schools for a period of two years at salary of $2500 per year. The selection of MT. Davis will undoubtedly meet with the ap- proval of the patrons of the schools and the public in general, as during his first year of encumbency as super 1ntendent of the Clifton schools he has. given perfect satisfaction in the management of school affairs and through his energetic methods has anticipated every need along the lines of betterment in all departments of the work. MT. Davis is aggressive and energetic and enters into his du- ties with spirit of determination and a preconceived knowledge of what is to the best interests of all concern ed. In selecting him to succeed himself 1t is felt that the board has made wise selection
 The result of the recent bond cleo. tion was also considered at length by the board and the advisability of holding another election was thorough ly gone into. It is thought by the
 board as well as a majority of the public that the measure should have been carried at the election It is the consensus of opinion that the | bond issue was favorable to the ma. jority of the taxpayers but owing to the lack of interest taken in the cleo i tion by those who did favor the measure it was, defeated With the holding of another election it is { thought that all who are in favor of the measure will go to the polls and register their votes in it's favor. For the purpose of holding another cleo. tion a petition is now in the course of circulation and on account of the strong sentiment in favor of the bonds it is hoped by the board that they will be carried through to victory. The election will be called for the 22nd of April, 1916.
 DSlOiC duJOuTulHS l1e 6OdrQ LOOK up the matter. of the resignation of Miss Celia Hut, teacher in the North Clifton school. Her resignation was accepted to take place at nee. Miss Hut is one of the most able teachers in the Clifton schools, and the board received and accepted her resignation with much regret. Miss Hut will leave shortly for Salem, Oregon, where she has been offered a much more lucrative position in the public schools of that place.
 No other action was taken at this time in regard to the teaching force for the coming year, although it is understood that the majority of the present force will be retained.

FATAL SHOOTINI.. OCCURS AT
 DUNCAN

DUNCAN, April G-(Sreci,l to Era. .)-George B. Spang'er, }. E;!TeI City, New Mexico, was shot and in stantly killed under peculiar circ:lnl- stances on Wednesday afternoon ar about l :00 o'clock. The shooting oc- cured in Jesse Hills grocery store Spangler staggering out of the build ing and falling at the entrance, G%- ing in a few minutes.
 It is said that there had been some trouble between Hill and Spangler over ali alleged fake gold nugget, the property of Hill; that Hill is alleged to have sold it to him for $40. co; that the latter changed his mind for some unknown reason and demanded that his money be returned him, and that Hill refunded his money. It was claimed by Hill that Spangler refus- ed to return the nugget to him after he had received his money back, and when he demanded it, Spangler drew his gun and threatened to blow him in two"
 M. O. Goodspeed, who was in the adjoining pool hall at the time, was attracted by raised voices and saw Spangler was holding a gun in his hand, and sent a boy after Constable
 
 hall and passed into the store. Spang- Ter had his gun in his hand and the officer said: Young man, you had better give me that gum Spangler mmediately opened fire on the officer, the first shot missing him, and before Brooks could fire he was hit by the second shot. Brooks then returned the fire of Spangler, emptying his gun, and shot him twice in the chest, three shots going wild. Brooks was struck by another bullet from Spang- ler's gun before the latter turned and stumbled out the front door.
 Dr. Wallace was called and she arrived in a few minutes, but too late to be of any assistance to Spangler, as he died about minute after her arrival. Brooks was placed in an auto and taken to Dr. Briley's office, where his wounds were dressed and then he was taken to his home. His injuries are flesh wounds, one bullet passing through the flesh over his ribs, while the other glanced off a rib.
 Inquest Held.
 Justice of the Peace Bullard, ex- officio coroner, empanelled a jury and an inquest was held. After viewing the remains the interior of the Hill place was examined and a number of witnesses testified similarly. The sum of the evidence was that no oth- CTS were in the store save Hill and Spangler when the trouble arose. The jury then called on Constable Brooks, who testified that he was in front of Spaw's place when he was called across the tracks to the Hill place. That he went into the grocery store through the passageway leading from the pool hall; that when he saw Spangler he asked him for his gun, the latter opened fire on him.
 The jury rendered a verdict to the effect that Spangler's death was caused by gunshot wounds received while resisting arrest by Constable w.
