SENATOR OF IDAHO DEAD
SENATOR WELDON HEYBURN DIED IN WASHINGTON LAST EVENING
WAS PROMINENT SENATOR
DEATH RESULT OF COMPLICATION OF DISEASES - WAS 60 YEARS OLD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, - United States Senator Weldon Brinton Heyburn of

Idaho died at his apartments here tonight after a lingering illness. He

was 60 years old and had been in the senate nine years.
A complication of diseases, involving the heart and kidneys, caused

death. He had not been well since last March when he collapses after

delivering a speech in the senate on the arbitration treaties. Several

weeks ago, apparently gaining strength after a serious relapse, the

senator and Mrs. Heyburn made preparations for a trip west. Another

relapse followed, however, since then the patient had been growing

steadily weaker. Today the doctors thought he was slightly improved, but

death came suddenly a few minutes before eight o'clock tonight. No

arrangements have been made for the funeral, but the body will be taken to

the old home of Senator Heyburn, in Birmingham, Pa., for burial.
Senator Heyburn was born in Delaware, May 23, 1852, his parents being

John Brinton and Sarah Gilpin Heyburn, Quakers of English descent. After

being admitted to the bar in 1876, he practiced law continuously until he

entered the senate. He married Miss Gheretein Yeatman, who survives him.

They had no children.
In 1883 the senator moved to Shoshone, Idaho, which had been his home

ever since. He was a member of the Idaho constitutional convention and as

republican national committeeman. January 13, 1903, he was elected to the

senate and in January, 1909, was unanimously re-elected to serve until

1915.
One of the staunchest of the regular republicans and a man of strong

convictions, frankly and emphatically expressed on all occasions, Senator

Heyburn had for many years been a conspicuous figure in the senate. He was

mostly known, perhaps, for his unyielding bitterness toward the south.
