CORONER INVESTIGATING
Cause Of the Death Of .. r. Hedges Not
Altogether Clear

<AiIOSSetlSF OiSdFs
SIOUX CITY, IOWA-A dispatch from
San Francisco states that the cause Of
the death of D. II. Hedges, one of the
builders of Sioux City, is being investi-
gated by the coroner. It was at first
thought death was due to asphyxiation,
and this may be correct. Mr.. Hedges had
gone to his bathroom to take bath,
where he turned on a gas stove. He was
heard breathing heavily and help came.
but failed to revive him.
. Mr.. Hedges came to Sioux City in 1857.
In 1867, when the Sioux City & Pacific,
the first road here, was knocking, at Sioux
City's door, Hedges circulated a subscrip-
ton paper which brought the railroad.
When the crash came in 1898, Hedges
failed for a personal sum of $500, 900. 1t
broke his heart to see all his loved en-
terpr1ses fall fiat. He left Sioux City and
never returned.
