DOSE OF MEDICINE FATAL
Irving L. Randall Takes Too Much and Dies
Irving L. Randall, 48 years old, who was a clerk employed in the hardware store of N. C. Merges, 256 Russell street, lies dead in his apartments above the store, as the result of an overdose of a sedative medicine. He was discovered by his grown daughter, Miss Elsie Randall, a clerk with the Marshall-Wells Company, who made her home with her father, at midnight on Thursday night in a comatose condition. She aroused the neighbors and Dr. Curtis Holcomb, of 129 1/2 Russell street, was summoned and worked over the man almost constantly until noon yesterday when he died.
At an autopsy last night in the undertaking establishment of Duning, McEntee & Gilbaugh it was found death had resulted from the paralysis of the respiratory organs and the heart, following the use of some narcotic. What he had taken was not discovered.
Mr. Randall had been a resident of Portland for many years. He was a native of Maine and had been employed at the Merges store for a long time. He has a brother living in Sellwood.
