MALEY LEVY
November 18, 1909
Maley Levy, a boy of 14, whose parents live near Alhambra,
was badly wounded last night by the accidental discharge of a
gun. He and his elder brother, Frank Levy, had been on the
other side of the river hunting. While crossing the river at
the foot of Carpenter Street, the boy got out of the wagon and
while getting in the weapon discharged.
The main part of the load took effect in the right arm while a
part of it entered the hip. There was an instant outburst of
blood and the brother, laying the wounded boy in the bottom of
the wagon, hurried to town. It was feared at first that he
would bleed to death.
The boy was taken to the Sisters Hospital and Dr. Tafel was
sent for. It was thought last night that the wound would have
no serious results.
November 19, 1909
That Maley Levy had little change of recovery from his
self-inflicted wound, accidentally caused while he was out
hunting Wednesday, is the statement made by Dr. Win Wylie
last night about two hours after the boy's right arm had
been amputated. According to Dr. Wylie, gangrene had set
in and amputation became necessary. The operations was
performed by Dr Wylie, assisted by Drs. Craig, Bell and Dysart.
The case was at first under the care of Drs. Tafel and Bond.
Dr. Tafel was asked for information in regard to the boy's
condition and said that he was no longer connected with the
case. "I thought the boy was getting along as well as could
be expected," he said. "I had determined to operate this
afternoon as there was no pulse in the arm and the arteries
were cut, I was then informed that the case had been taken
out of my hands. I do not know who has it now."
The amputation was made about 8 pm. The right arm, was
removed about half way between the elbow and shoulder.
ANDY F. LIGGETT
June 12, 1909
Andrew Liggett died yesterday morning at half past six at
his temporary home on North Mill Street. Mr. Liggett has
been in ill health for several years, coming here a year
ago last March on that account. He improved for a time but
several months ago suffered a set back from which he never
fully recovered. Though it was realized by his most
intimate friends that his chances of recovery were poor,
it was hardly thought he would pass away so sudden and
unexpected.
Mr. Liggett was a native of Ohio, having at this time relatives
at that place. He and his family were intimate friends of A.M.
Harmer in Ohio and Mr. Harmer yesterday wired his sister and
his home Masonic Lodge relative to the funeral and disposition
of the body. No reply had been received up to last evening;
hence the arrangements have not yet been made.
The deceased was a newspaper man by profession, having for a
number of years published a paper in his hometown. Since being
in Tempe he has had charge of the Tempe department of the
Gazette. He was a competent man and made many friends in
Tempe, all of whom will regret to learn of his untimely end.
Liggett's death
June 22, 1909
Last Friday afternoon, Professor S.F. DeFord of Ottawa,
received a telegram telling of the death of Andrew F. Liggett
at Tempe, Az. Mr. Liggett was well known in Putnam County, Ohio,
being the son of ex-County Commissioner Amos Liggett. Andrew
was for many years a resident of this county, living near
Hartsburg. He attended the Ottawa public schools and was
within one year of graduating when circumstances obliged
him to take up other duties. He began learning the printer's
trade in the office of the Sentinel and steadily worked his
way up to the editorship. This position he kept until the
condition of his health obliged him to seek a change of
climate. He made a hard fight to regain his health but
to no avail.

MR. LACEY
August 15, 1902
News has just been received of a sudden death of a
cowboy named Lacey, who was in the employ of a cattle
company near Baker's Butte on the Mogollon rim. The
young man was riding the range when a storm came up.
The lightning struck all around, but the cowboy paid no
attention to the bolts, as electrical storms are of
frequent occurrence in that country. A bolt struck
him square between the shoulders, the current then
traveling down his body and escaping through both
feet. The heels of both shoes were cut off while
the socks he wore remained in place on both feet.
It is supposed that this was due to a heavy pair of
spurs worn by the cowboy which served as a magnet
for the current to spend its force on. A remarkable
feature of the affair was that his horse was
uninjured save being slightly stunned.
