Ozro Haskins, a prominent rancher and mining man,
was blown to pieces in the Tucson mountains, says
the Citizen. Mr. Haskins, who runs a ranch three
miles north of the city on the Mammoth Road had
been a resident of this section for eighteen years.
He owned some claims in the Tucson Mountains, twenty
two miles northwest of town, and last Saturday, in
company with his son, left for the mines to do some
work. They established their camp on Sunday and on
Monday morning the son, O.A. Haskins, decided to come
to town to get Tom Driscoll to help them in deciding
where the work was to be done. There was an old tunnel,
100 feet deep on the property and in the absence of his
son, Mr. Haskins said he would put in some shots in the
old tunnel.
The son went down below the mine to hitch up the horses
and just before he left, he heard a shot and supposed
that his father was blasting in the old mine. He
arrived in the city Monday night but Mr. Discoll
could not go out to the mine until yesterday. When
they arrived at the mine they could not find Mr.
Haskins anywhere in the neighborhood and proceeded
to make a search. The limbs of the dead man were
found buried in the dirt and debris and there as
every evidence of an explosion.
After finding the body Mr. Driscoll and young Mr.
Haskins came right to town and notified Judge Wilson,
who left for the scene of the accident with a coroner's
jury. The jury rendered a verdict that death was caused
by an accidental explosion.
Mr. Haskins was well known in Tucson. He leaves a wife
and son, who live on the ranch and another son, J.J.
Haskins, who is a fireman on the railroad. At the
time of his death he was 61 years of age.

Alva Hickey, about 12 years of age, died in Yuma
yesterday as the result of a peculiar accident
which happened at the Rockland canal heading.
Two or three days ago he was whittling a post,
when the knife slipped from the wood, the blade
struck his leg near the knee and the artery was
severed. The wound was bandaged, but continued
to bleed and the boy grew weaker until yesterday
he was brought down the river to Yuma in a skiff
for medical attention. Dr. Cotter was called to
see the boy but he was beyond human skill and
died in a few hours from blood poisoning. His
parents live in Yuma Valley. The remains were

MRS. E.J.F. HORNE
September 4, 1902
The Prescott Journal Miner of Monday says" Death is always
a sad occurrence but in some instances it seems to be
attended with greater features of sadness than others.
Such a one occurred yesterday morning in the demise of
Mrs. E.J.F. Horne. Their little baby, born on Sunday
evening is also dead. Mr. Horne has the sympathy of
the community in his affliction. During recent years,
Mr. Horne has been called upon to suffer more afflictions
in the loss of dear ones than ordinarily falls to the
lot of a human being during the same period of time.
Mrs. Howard
October 31, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper
A frame house of two rooms was consumed by fire and a woman
named Howard was burned to death Sunday night at Douglas,
says the Prospector.
The fire started from the explosion of a gasoline stove
that Mrs. Howard had just lighted, prior to cooking her
evening meal for herself and husband. The burning fluid
was thrown all over the unfortunate woman and soon her
clothes were a mass of flames. Her husband grabbed some
blankets and rushed to her aid and subdued the flames,
badly burning himself, he then went to the front door
and tried to get out, but the night catch refused to
word and he could not get out, and telling his wife to
wait until he could go out and break the door in from
the outside, he made a rush through the flames into
the kitchen and going around broke in the door, but
found that his wife had tried to follow him out
through the kitchen and fallen into the flames.
By this time the house was completely in flames
and nothing could be done to rescue the woman.
When the fire had burned out, her body was found
burned to a crisp. Her husband was badly burned
about the face and hands. The house in which the
fire occurred was on Eleventh Street and near the
outskirts of town and could not be reached by the
water from the fire hose. Howard was a painter
in the employ of the Copper Queen Company and had
been a resident of Douglas for a number of months.
Corporal Irish
January 19, 1902
Arizona Republican Newspaper
Within the last few days two bad men have been apprehended
in eastern Arizona and two murders that were more or less
mysteriously accomplished are about to be explained and
the guilty men brought to justice.
The first of these is the Apache Indian who killed Corporal
Irish, about twelve miles from Wilcox on the Fort Grant
Road on December 20. It is reported that he has been
captured at San Carlos and will be turned over to the
civil authorities for trial. Both Corporal Irish and
his slayer were scouts and so far as was previously
known were on friendly terms. Why the Indian turned
murderer probably no one but himself knows and he has not
said.
