YEE JACK CHONG
Arizona Republican Newspaper
June 27, 1895

Yesterday morning Yee Jack Chong, a Chinaman aged about 50 
years, was driving his span of hoses hitched to a heavy freight 
wagon on Granite Street, when the horses ran away.  Chong 
fell from the seat, the wagon wheels passing over his chest 
inflicting injuries of which he died in about an hour.

He formerly ran a ranch at Walnut Grove and for years 
peddled between Prescott and Phoneix. He recently started 
a store on Granite Street. His funeral takes place today. 
As he was a man of good standing his funeral ceremonies 
will probalby be replete with pagan pomp.  The wagon was 
run into a tree and broken up somewhat.
