DICKEY IS DEAD
Picked Up in Unconcious Con
dition Wednesday.
. IDENTITY OF MAM DISCLOSED
Mini Was Traveling Without -Money
I'eKow Traveling With Him
Said His Xaine Wtw Dickey
Coroner Investigates.
Wednesday evening at about six
o'clock a young man was discovered
by some boys sitting on the step of
the Commercial Club exhibit build
ing just south of the passenger de
pot, and his peculiar appearance
alarmed them so they ran across to a
barber shop just opposite and told
the proprietor to go over and Bee
what was the matter with the fellow.
The barber, Mr. Cottrel!, did so, and
when he touched the man he pitched
forward on the gravel, unconscious.
His face was so black that at first
he was mistaken for a negro, but a
purplish ting of the ears evidenced
that switch was not the case. He was
evidently suffering from some sort
of a fit or from an overdose of some
powerful drug. G. V. Rapp, the
grocer, immediately telephoned for
a physician, and in fact sent hurried
messages after two or three doctors,
but it was not until more than an
hour had elapsed and a boy was sent
In person to summon medical aid,
that assistance came. Meanwhile
the young man was left lying on the
gravel of the depot grounds, where
those who had first gone to his as
sistance had stretched him, they not
knowing any remedies to adminis
ter. After arrival of the doctors
the man was removed to a rooming
house and given restoratives, but all
efforts were unavailing. He linger
ed until early Thursday morning
when he died.
At the time the man was taken
III there were present a couple of
young fellows, who were apparently
his traveling (companions. One of
these fellows said that the sick man
was Charles Dickey, and that his
father lived in Spokane. There was
not a scrap of anything on the body
by which the man's identity could
bo told. With the exception of a
spool of threat, a ple and 10 cents,
he had nothing on his person. The
coroner followed this slight clew and
immediately sent a wire to Spokane
In search of the father of the de
ceased. The wire was addressed to
Chief of Police Doust, of Spokane,
who In turn began a search for the
relatives of Dickey, with the result I
that late in the evening Coroner
Jewett received the following wire: '
Lewiston, Idaho, Sept. 18. '13.
Coroner N. T. Jewett, Koseburg,
Or. Hold remains of Charles Dick
ey. Am coming at once. Will bury
there. THOMAS DICKEY.
According to this announcement
Mr. Dickey will probably arrive In
Iloseburg on the early train tomor
row morning.
Investigating the sources of .in
formation concerning the affair; .
Newi representative discovered ti'l
Wednesday af.teruoon a man giving
his name as Murphey called on a
local physician and said that a
friend of his required a prescription
for morphine. It was given him and
Inter filled at a drug store. In the
meantime the man Dickey was
waiting near the depot for. the
"dope"' and was engaged in conver
sation by several person?! among!
them B. G. Riley, a Southern Pa
cific brakeman. Riley f.iid that
Dickey talked In a perfectly ration
al way, and there was nothing to
indicate that he was a dojK fiend.
When Riley started for his supper
he lert Dickey sitting on the steps
of a barber shop on Casa street.
This was shortly after five o'clock.
At six oVlork Riley said that he
was attracted bv the crowd near the
evhiblt building, and going down
here to see who was entertaining
the crowd, saw his acquaintance of
en hour before tying on the sand In
an unconscious condition. Two men
t resent stated that they knew the
v-'ck man. and that his name wa
r!'?.-. Dickey. One of them said
'st he was adicted to such fits,
cr.d tiat he would soon be all right.
stating that he had been with him
for five years and had seen Dickey
in the same condition many times.
Another said that Dickey was just re
covering from a prolonged epibe.
These men were later called before
the coroner who questioned them as
to the identity of th man who died
while'under the influence of a pow
erful drug, and they told practically
the same story, and it was from
Uem that the clew was obtained
which finally resulted in finding
Thomas Dickey, a relative of the
dead man. The men who gave what
tittle information was obtained con
cerning Dickey have not been seen
in the vicinity of the depot since
they gave their testimony, and it is
believed that they have traveled on.
The body of Dickey Is being held
at the Koseburg Ur.dertaking Par
lors awaiting the arrival of Thomas
Dickey, who wired from Lewiston.
