James A. Moss was found dead last Sunday morning by John 
Neidpram and George McVeigh on the roadside at the first 
crossing of Pinal Creek north of Gerald's Ranch.  There 
were no marks of violence on the body and everything 
went to show that Moss had camped there the night before, 
tied his horses to a bush, spread his blankets and had 
died during the night, probably of heart disease.  He 
left Salt River, Saturday morning for Globe with a 
wagonload of melons.  Acting Coroner W.F. Rawlins 
after viewing the body had it brought to town and an 
inquest was held, the verdict of the jury being that 
deceased came to his death from causes unknown to the 
jury.  Moss was a native of Michigan and was about 57 
years old.  Silver Belt.
