INJURED BY A FALLING TREE
'Gene Lee was struck by a falling
tree Munds Park on Wednesday, and
at first was thought to have been
dangerously injured. Dr. H. K. Wil

reports are that his accident is not
liable to prove fatal.
Lee just recently returned from the
army and is the son of John Lee, a
well known cattleman. Youncr Lee
was assisting his father with a
9, when his unit, Co. D, was trans
ferred to the Argonne sector, and
placed on similar work through such
important points as Montfaucon, Cic
gas and Romagne.
On October 25th he was transferred
to Co. H, 21st Engineers, and moved
to the east of Verdun, where the Wild
Cat Division was advancing on Metz.
When the armistice became effective,
he was transferred to standard-gauge
repair work. It was over this railroad
after being repaired, that the first
U. S. A. train passed on its way to
Germany. Lieut. Duffield was rail

On December 1 he was located at
Briey in charge of railway operations
to Andun and on Decembon 9 was
again transferred, this time to Nantes
on the west coast, and placed in -full
charge of terminal operations.
On the 8th of April he sailed from
Brest on the steamship Kaiserin Au

ships to engage in 'U. S. transport

MRS.
J. E. KING DIES IN
PHILADELPHIA HOSPITAL
Sad news has come to Flagstaff of
the death in the Presbyterian Hospi
tal, Philadelphia, Pcnn., on May 29th
last, of Mrs. J. E. King, mother of
Mrs. C. P. Portz. of Flaestaff. Mrs.
King had many warm friends here
aside from the immediate family, hav
ing lived here from 1907 to 1915, go
ing back in that year to live with her
other daughter in Philadelphia.
' Mrs. J. E. King was bom in Bruns
wick, Maryland, on May 10, 1843. Her
maiden name was Mary Elizabeth
Frazier, one of the daughters of an
illustrious Southern-family. Early in
life she united with the Episcopal
church and during her lifetime was
consistent in the deep interest she took
in the welfare of that institution.
In 1867 sh married Josiah Edward
King, to which union eight children
were born, two surviving Mrs. Portz
of Flagstaff and Mrs. E. W, Barnes
of Philadelphia. Before coming to
Flagstaff she resided in White Haven,
Pfinn., in which town interment took
place.
Mrs. King had been ill for five
months preceding her death, but the
immediate cause of death was an acci
dent she suffered on the 28th day
of May, living 18 hours afterward.
Both friends of Mrs. Kinir and Mrs.
Portz join in offering thefr sympathy
to the bereaved daughter; knowing
Mrs. King, they know the loss sus
tained by the loved ones.
