Arizona Republican-November 18, 1909
Maley Levy, a boy of 14, whose parents live near Alhambra, 
was badly wounded last night by the accidental discharge of a 
gun. He and his elder brother, Frank Levy, had been on the 
other side of the river hunting.  While crossing the river at 
the foot of Carpenter Street, the boy got out of the wagon and 
while getting in the weapon discharged.

The main part of the load took effect in the right arm while a 
part of it entered the hip.  There was an instant outburst of 
blood and the brother, laying the wounded boy in the bottom of 
the wagon, hurried to town. It was feared at first that he 
would bleed to death.

The boy was taken to the Sisters Hospital and Dr. Tafel was 
sent for. It was thought last night that the wound would have 
no serious results.

November 19, 1909

That Maley Levy had little change of recovery from his 
self-inflicted wound, accidentally caused while he was out 
hunting Wednesday, is the statement made by Dr. Win Wylie 
last night about two hours after the boy's right arm had 
been amputated.  According to Dr. Wylie, gangrene had set 
in and amputation became necessary. The operations was 
performed by Dr Wylie, assisted by Drs. Craig, Bell and Dysart.

The case was at first under the care of Drs. Tafel and Bond.  
Dr. Tafel was asked for information in regard to the boy's 
condition and said that he was no longer connected with the 
case.  "I thought the boy was getting along as well as could 
be expected," he said. "I had determined to operate this 
afternoon as there was no pulse in the arm and the arteries 
were cut, I was then informed that the case had been taken 
out of my hands.  I do not know who has it now."

The amputation was made about 8 pm.  The right arm, was 
removed about half way between the elbow and shoulder.
