a very sad and startling accident occurred which deprived Mr. Feasel of his life. It seems that the log was not coming off of the wagon straight. Mr. Feasel was handling one end, while two other men were straightening it at the other. When it was in proper position one of the men gave the word to let go, and jumped back. Mr. Feasel’s foot caught, throwing him to the ground, the log passing directly over his body. He was carefully removed by his friends to the cabin, and a physician and Mrs. Feasel immediately summoned. Mrs. Feasel arrived at 5 p.m., but too late to see her husband in this world, as his spirit had passed away not two minutes before. Mr. Feasel had resided in Grant county some seven or eight years, being engaged during that time in the saw mill and lumber business. He was held in high regard by the business community. He was a kind husband and an in- dulgent father. He leaves a devoted wife and four children to mourn his untimely death. Bear Hunting In The Mogollons
