Event: Burial Event Date: 08/20/1906 Event Place: Yuma
Notes:
This is the first fatal case of heat prostration which has occurred in the prison to my knowledge, and this might not have proven fatal had the victim been in good health; as it was, his system was weakened by venereal disease, and while he recovered from the first shock, he died as a result of the heavy congestion.
