Yuma Sentinel:  A man by the name of R.J. Perry, traveling from 
Los Angeles to Texas with a four horse team wagon and coach, was 
discovered dead last Sunday six miles east of Old Gila City on 
the way via Mohawk Valley. Justice Duke of this place was 
notified and left Monday for the scene, accompanied by 
Constable Jones. Only 55 cents in money was found on the 
dead man and a few letters bearing the above name. He was 
last seen passing Bedoya's Ranch about 4 o'clock Friday 
afternoon of last week. He was lying when found, under 
the tongue of the coach, just in the rear of his wagon 
and it is thought that when he retired he had an attack 
of heart disease and expired.  The horses were nearly 
dead for water, having been three days without it.  
Constable Jones brought the wagons, horse and the 
dead body to town Monday here.  It was learned that 
he has a couple of grandsons living in Texas and 
they have been written and informed of the death.
