JURY b[AMES RAILWAY
 IN BAD ACCIDENT

The coroner's jury in the inquest on the bodies of John $. Williams, his wife and two daughters, killed at the crossing of the Southern Pacific rail- road at Casa Grande last Sunday night holds the railroad company responsi- ble for the tragedy, in a verdict re- turned last night to Justice of the Peace Charles F. Bennett of Casa Grande, acting coroner. The testi- mony was taken last Tuesday, but the notes were brought 10 Phoenix for transcription, and were returned only yesterday. The members of the jury were George Burgess. A. T. Mckinley, Dave Cummings, $. o. Chapman Gordon McMurray, Howard Snyder, Jack Charlton, H. M. Minear and Charles Randolph.
 The verdict, after reciting the fact and the place of the killing of Mr. Williams and his family, proceeds:
 fThe cause of death was that the automobile in which they were riding was struck on said crossing by the engine of Southern Pacific train. No. 1, west bound; that at the time the said automobile was struck, and said four persons were killed as aforesaid the train No. 1 was running at an ex- cessive and reckless rate of speed, and as shown by the evidence submitted to this jury, the said train was run
Arizona republican., 1918-05-12

ming at from 40 to 50 miles an hour; that at the time of the killing of said persons said train was about two hours behind the schedule; that no whistle was blown or bell rung on said engine so rods before reaching said crossing and that no whistle was blown until the moment of striking said automobile; and that though it was sundown, no headlight was burning on said engine at the time of said killing.
 And for the foregoing reasons we therefore find that the death of John $. Williams, Edith C. Williams. his wife; Dorothy Williams and Maurine Williams, his daughters, was caused by the gross mismanagement and negligence of the Southern Pacific railroad company, its agents and en- ployes in charge of said train; and especially because of the excessive and dangerous rate of speed at which said train was running through the cor porate limits of Casa Grande.' There was one other victim of the tragedy, Paul Williams, the 12-year- old son who was taken to the hospital at Tucson the night of the accident, dying there soon after his arrival.

BRANCH LIBRARY

Boone. for the month of April, shows that 52 enrollments of members were made during that period. This makes a total of 113 registrations since the new branch was opened few weeks ago. During April SS5 books were is- sued and there were 124 readers, total of 509 users of the library during the month.
 As the citizens of Phoenix are learn ing of the branch library more in- terest is being taken more members are being registered and greater use of the library privilege generally is made New books are being, added month by month. In addition by a system of exchange with the main library there is constantly a fresh sup ply of books on the shelves of the branch library.
 To the readers who visit the library there is an excellent selection of mag 1zines and papers of general interest. X special invitation is extended the public to make use of this privilege.

 McArthur Brothers, continued Mir. James, feel very optimistic about the used car market and we have about 1lfty cars on sale at our lot at the corner of Central and Jefferson. which makes an ideal demonstrating grouni.
