Hill Saturday evening, June I8,
1904.
There is difference of opinion
as to the cause of the lads death.
On Thursday he complained of his
throat being sore but went in SWIM
ming. On Saturday The condition
of his throat was worse and after
eating his dinner his conditions be.
came alarming and three physicians
were summoned and everything that
medical science could accomplish
to relieve him but his throat closed
and he ceased to breath short
time after the doctors arrived.
According to the opinion Of some,
death was due to lung trouble
while others hold that black diph-
liberia was the cause of his death.
Ben was a bright boy and was
formerly newsie on the Post, but
lately has been employed at the
Seneca glass factory.
His mother died here about a
year ago and his father Patrick Do
Ian, died years ago. He was a
