E. c. CHEASTY'S DEAF H
 RESULT OF ACCIDENT

The Seattle newspapers all agree that the death of E. c. Cheasty was the result of accident rather than sui. eide as was at first thought. The theory is that he had been attacked by dizziness and had gone to the window of his room for fresh air, fell out distance of S5 feet to the roof of the hotel lobby.
 Describing the accident, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer says.
 "Tll health, recurrent during the past two years and more serious since spring, is believed to have been, di. rectly or indirectly, responsible for Mir. Cheasty's death, Frequent dizzy spells, which have caused pain and discomfort, lead friends of the dead merchant to believe he was attacked by vertigo while at the window.
 Tt was apparent that Mir. Cheasty was taken with a spell of dizziness on reaching his room, for while his cane was hung up carefully, his coat and hat were hurriedly removed and toss. ed at the foot of the bed"
 Dr. Will A. Shannon, his physician, speaking of his condition said:
 "Mr. Cheasty has been subject to fainting spells for some time, Ere quently he fell down. He has been a very sick man for months and was ar ranging to retire from business and go abroad. He was to have been op- erated on next week"
 The funeral services were held at St. James Catholic cathedral, and the pail bearers, active and honorary, were among the leading men of Seat tie, including:
 A. G. Dunn, J. J. Doheny, J. H. Sut- thofr. J. A. Baillargeon, J. R. Pidduck, A. Shepard, c. l.. Denny, Edmond s. Meany, J. E. Chilberg, F. s. Winslow, D. E. Frederick, c. E. Miller, c. c. Heifner Frank McDermott, Gov. Ern- est Lister, l.. S. Booth, William Hick- man Moore and E. F. Blaine.
