In spite of the valiant efforts of the physicans of the Sisters' 
Hospital at Prescott, Frank McCrea, the lineman who was severely 
scalded in an accident on the Santa Fe Road near Iron Springs, 
Tuesday died at three a.m. yesterday.

McCrea was the second victim of the accident, Fireman Wolfe 
having died just four hours before him. He was riding on the 
engine at the time of the explosion looking out for trouble 
with the wires.  With Fireman Wolfe and Engineer Roose who 
was not so badly injured, he was taken to Prescott by a relief 
train.

His brother Arthur E. McCrea, went up from Phoneix yesterday 
to bring back the body.  His mother, Mrs. J.M. Patterson, 
lives at 141 North Twelfth Avenue, Phoenix and he has a brother 
and a sister in Los Angeles, both of whom are now on their way 
to Phoenix.  McCrea lived with his young wife in Prescott and 
just two months ago lost their young child.

The funeral will be held in Prescott Friday under the direction 
of the railroad men.  The body will then be brought here for 
interment next Sunday.
