MR. HINKLE

June 25, 1893

A Prescott man who arrived in the city yesterday reported 
a terrible accident at Prescott last Tuesday night, resulting 
in the death of two persons, one a man named Hinkle who lived 
at Ash Fork and the other a woman of the town.

During the night a lamp exploded in a room in which Hinkle, 
another man and the woman were.  Whether they had been 
asleep or not is not known, but when the fire was discovered 
they were found insensible and were carried out. Neither 
Hinkle or the woman appeared to be badly burned, but Hinkle 
died soon after  and the woman has died since.  The other 
occupant was fearfully burned but it is thought he will 
recover. He had a wooden leg which caught fire and was 
blazing when he was found.

Hinkle was well known in and about Phoenix.
