NO INQUEST NECESSARY
Sudden Death of Frank B. Wad-
man, a Peddler.
A POISONING SUSPECTED
After An Examination Of the Facts, the
Coroner Came to the Conclusion
That Death Was Due to
Natural Causes

Frank r. Wadman. who with his
family. occupied rooms at 22l South
Arizona street, died night before last
under circumstances which prompted
an official inquiry into the cause of his
demise. Wadman was about 40 years
old and by occupation a peddler. lie
came To Butte last spring from Og
dem Utah with his family. Shortly
after his arrival his wife made COM
plant that she believed he had lost his
mind and a commission was appointed
to examine into his sanity. AS a re-
suit he was sent to Warm Springs,
where he was treated and after five
weeks was discharged as convalescent.
DR.. Brooke, who had prescribed for
Wadman, saw his wife some time after
his discharge and inquired how he was
doing. She said his mind seemed to be
all right, but that he was failing ply
sically and suffered greatly from i'm
somnia DIR. Brooke left some med-
cine and heard nothing further about
the man until day before yesterday.
While he was out in the country a
message came to his office asking him
to call on Wadman. When he returned
in the evening he called at the house
and found two physicians had already
been there.
Wadman. so his wife informed DR..
Brooke. was taken i'll about noon and
became UNCONSCIOUS, from winch con-
dition he had not recovered. DR.. Brooke
found the man breathing about four or
five times a minute and otherwise
showing every symptom Of opium poi
soning. He informed Mrs. Wadman
there was no hope for her husband, and
went away. Meeting some of the neigh
bors he inquired if they had noticed
anything peculiar about the Wadman
residence and was informed that the
day before Wadman had some trouble
with his family and was heard 10 re-
mark that he would not trouble them
much longer.
Wadman died about I:30 in the even
ing and DR.. Brooke informed Coroner
Tremblay he believed the man had died
from opium poisoning. DR. Tremblay
visited the place during the day and
after making some inquiry into the
case. came to the conclusion the death
was regular enough and that there was
no occasion for an inquest to be held.
Deceased was member of the a. q.
L. w. the Woodmen of the World and
of the Masons. in two Of which SO
cietes he had a beneficiary policy
drawn in favor of his wife. He leaves
two children by the present Mrs. Wad-
man and one, it is said. by "a former
wife. The remains We're taken in
charge by the Woodmen. who ordered
Undertaken Sherman to prepare the
body for burial.
