Death OF BEN dean
WELL KNOWN GROCER DIES While
VISITING FRIENDS.
Is Stricken Suddenly at the Home Of
John {. ShaptOn Tuesday Evening,
and Dies Soon After Arrival Of a
Doctor. Nay Have Been Result OF
Old Injury.

Death came suddenly to Ben. Dean.
the well known grocer at 211 South
G street, Tuesday evening, while he
was visiting at the home of John
c. Shapton, 4O1 West First street.
Mr.. Dean was violently thrown from
bicycle about ten years ago, alight-
ing on his head and with almost fatal
results. Since then he had been
troubled more or less with headaches,
for which he was in the habit of
using a preparation of bromide
He called at the Shapton home
about eight o'clock Tuesday evening,
and, after conversing in his usual
manner for ten or fifteen minutes,
complained Of his head, saying that
he had taken medicine at $50 that
had tasted more bitter than usual and
that he felt queer since. He then
fell from his chair to the floor in
convulsions, and the family suggest
ed calling a physician, to which he
objected, saying he would be all
right directly. When an attempt
ws made to raise him from the floor,
a second and more severe attack
seized him and then the family called
up DR.. Watkins.
Dean was still in convulsions when
the doctor arrived, but was conscious
and told DR.. Watkins about his mede-
cine and said he feared he had taken
the wrong drug. A few minutes later
he was dead. DR.. Watkins pronounc-
ed the death from poison, and Coro-
near Smits made an autopsy yesterday
afternoon, at the Randolph morgue.
An analysis of the stomach showed
a poisonous ingredient of the brOm-
ide preparations Dean had been us
ing in a quantity sufficient to cause
death.
Rumors were afloat to effect that
he had committed suicide, but without
any foundation. From the bottles
of his favorite headache remedy
found in his room, and his state
ment as to the quantity used that dav
it was evident his death resulted from
using the drug too freely.
Mr.. Dean had been a resident Of
Aberdeen about q years, and most of
the time engaged in the grocery bust
ness. For a time he was in the eni
ploy of Wheeler Bros, but for the
past six years had been in business
on his own account. His business
affairs were apparently in a thriv-
ing condition, and always received
his very close attention. He was be-
tween 80 and 40 years of age and
unmarried, and had a sister in Ne
braska and a cousin in Tacoma. His
sister. Mrs. F. P. Ledgerwood, Max
well. Nebraska. was telegraphed news
of his sad end, and wired back last

LOSES
BOUNDARY FIGHT

WASHINGTON, May 26.-The SUI
preme court today denied a rehearing
of the Oregon Washington boundary
case, which involves the jurisdiction
of number of shoal islands in the
Columbia and certain fishing rights
which have heretofore been claimed
by Washington fishermen under the
laws of Washington. The decision
of the lower court, which has been
upheld by today's decision, was to
the effect that Washington domin-
ion did not follow the changing
current of the Columbia at this point
and extended only to the point in
the old channel, which was fixed as
the original boundary.
