She was injured in an automobile accident on Dec. 18 near Cottonwood, Ariz., which is 56 miles from iMesa. They had hoped to spend the winter in Arizona, but the accident changed ' ' tbeir plans.

"He was a nice guy, actually, "and wasn't as bad a character as a lot of people have said he. was. He might rob a stage or hold up a train and a few hours later give the money to some family that was hard up and needed it. He pulled off a lot of robberies as more of a joke tljan anything else. "Sheriff Boyd had a lot of guts. -- . He wasn't afraid of a gun. You could fire one at his feet and he wouldn't jump. Mr. Lee said he's been married three times and that he married his present wife about seven years ago in Salt Lake City. He has so many grandchildren he said he's lost track of the exact . number. Seen a Lot. He's seen a lot of things pass before his eyes over the years-s- uch as the coming of the automobile, the airplane and television.
