J.M. Schriver died at Douglas Saturday night of injuries 
received in falling from the loft of a livery stable, an 
account of which was published in The Republican last 
week.  In speaking of the incident, the Bisbee Review 
says: "An autopsy conducted by Dr. Randall revealed a 
fracture of the skull on the right side of the head, 
about four inches in length."  Schriver had remained 
unconscious for seventy-two hours ever since the night 
of the accident.  He was a carpenter and builder and 
has been engaged at contracting in Douglas.  Schriver 
came to Douglas from Phoenix where a stepdaughter lives.  
Up to the time he left Phoenix Mr. Schriver was a Deputy 
United States Marshal but told a friend since his arrival 
in Douglas that he had resigned his commission just 
before leaving Phoenix.
The Funeral services were held Saturday at 1 p.m. from the 
undertaking parlors of W.DeH. Washington, on Tenth Street, 
the Rev. J.M. McComb officiating.  A nephew, Mr. Vaughn of 
Naco arrived today and took charge of Mr. Schriver's remains.  
Interment took palce in Douglas.  Mr. Schriver made many 
friends while here who feel keenly the unfortunate 
circumstances under which he passed away.
