.DR. |. W. V|CKERs FOUND DEAD H H|S HOME A[ONE
Pioneer Physician Passes Away While Wife Is Ab- sent in Ohio-Neighbor Discovers Body After Three Days.

Dr. George W. Viekers, one of the best known citizens of Arizona and for 35 years or more resident of the territory and the state, was found dead at his home $40 North First avenue, yesterday morning. He had evidently been dead for days. The gruesome discovery was made by W. s. Hum bert, a neighbor, who noticed that in passing the house that it had remained closed and that the morning and even- ing papers were accommodating in front of the house. He had for some time been meeting pr. Vickers in the even- ing and had walked home with him Tuesday night. The doctor had said nothing of expecting to leave the city.
 Mir Humbert went to the house and looking in through a bedroom window saw the body of Dr. Vickers lying on bed. The body lay on it's face, the arms thrown cut indicating struggle just before death ensued. On account of the condition of the body no investi- gation could be made of it. It was placed in a steel casket and sealed.
 Not in Good Health
 l Dr. Vicers for a long time had not been in good health and on the last night he was seen alive, as he was walking home with MT. Humbert, he remarked that he was suffering from a severe pain in the shoulder. Mrs. Wick CTS is absent from the city, visiting relatives at Greenville, Ohio.
 The only relatives in the city or in the state are Mrs. D. M. Gillian, a niece of Mrs. Vickers and Harry Lane, nephew of F. D. Lane, the latter a nephew of Mrs. Vickers. MT. Lane was at first unaware of the address of Mrs. Vickers or of his brother in i law. 4. ". Edwards of Prescott, who was known to be somewhere on the coast with Mrs. Edwards, a sister of Mrs. Vickers. It was later learned that Mir. and Mrs Edwards who have been l in California since last spring, are stopping at Chemeketa Farm near Alma, about 50 miles from San Fran cisco. A telegram was sent Mfr Ed wards yesterday afternoon.
 Was Native of England
 1 A change had been observed in Dr. Vickers since the death of President 1 Frank M. Murphy of the Santa Fa l lines in Arizona couple of years ago. Mir. Murphy and Dr. Vickers had long been associated. and close friend ship existed between them. Of late 1 the doctor had been spending the greater part of his time about the house, visiting in the evening with neighbors, Dr. Harbridge, MT. Maus and MT. Humbert. He was member of the Arizona club and formerly spent a deal of leisure time there, but not lately.
 Dr. viekers was between 65 and 70 years of age. He was native of England and grew to manhood there and was for a time engaged in the practice of medicine. He afterward spent some time in India and visited various parts of the world before com l ing to America
