Charles W. Greenleaf, bookkeeper and gamekeeper of the Cabinet 
Saloon in Tucson was found dead at the room of R.E. Rogers on 
North Church Street at 12:45 Thursday and the following 
particulars are furnished by the Star.  From the condition 
of the body at the time of the discovery the unfortunate 
man had been dead for some hours.  He was last seen alive 
at 2:30 o'clock on the morning of his death.

Mr. Greenleaf had not been well for some time past and had 
lately been in the habit of taking morphine injections to 
quiet himself and induce rest.  The last injection taken 
was more than his weak heart would stand and the long sleep 
was the result.  Charles W. Greenleaf had lived in Tucson 
about six years and ill health had driven him to drink.  
When he first came to Tucson he did not drink at all but 
lately he hand had several periods when drink had the upper 
hand, all caused by the despondency of disease.

He was a man well liked by Tucson people who knew him and 
had many friends in the territory.  Before coming here he 
lived at Tombstone and at Phoenix.  At the former place he 
was operator and express agent at Phoenix.  He was an expert 
accountant and while in Tucson was in the employ of a number 
of gambling houses.  He roomed at the Kibby house and there, 
as elsewhere, was well liked. He left there two days ago 
and did not return.  He had a sister living at North Berwick 
Maine and she has been notified of the sad affair.
