SENATOR MITCHELL is DEAD
The Aged Oregon Senator succumbs
to Weakness Following HemOr-
rhage From Tooth Extraction

Portland, Ore, Dec. 9.-United States
Senator John H. Mitchell died at the
Good Samaritan hospital in this city at
11,40 O'Clock Friday forenoon, death
resulting from complications which fol-
lowed the removal of four teeth at a
dental office.
A hemcrrhage Of unusal severity fol-
lowed the removal of the teeth, and
despite the application Of the most pow
full styptics known to dental science,
the flow of blood could not be stayed.
Physicians were summoned to the dem
tai Office, but the combined scientific
knowledge of the dentists and physi-
clans could not stop the flow of blood.
Senator Mitchell had long been a suf-
ferer from diabetes and other vitiating
diseases and in his weakened physical
condition rapidly succumbed to inevlta-
BILE weakness following such violent
hemorrhages and lapsed into stage of
semi-consciousness from which he
never rallied.
Senator Mitchelps wife is in Paris,
France. where she has spent a large
part of her time since the marriage OF
their daughter, Margaret, to the duke
Of Rouchefoucould.
