His Heart Failed
Ben Richardson, a Well-Known Prospector, Expires Suddenly
At noon yesterday Ben Richardson appeared in normal health.  Fifteen minutes
later he was dead.  He spent the morning on the streets and seemed in excellent
spirits due to word having been received that work was to begin upon mines on
Granite Hill that he recently bonded.
A few minutes before 12 he left for the home of his sister Mrs. D. Dickey, on
West street near Third.  He sat down to dinner, when he was suddenly taken with
an attack of nausea.  He hurriedly walked to his room and fell dead at the door.
 Heart disease was the cause of his death.  By a singular coincidence, John
Belz, an old time friend of his, died in a similar manner exactly a year ago.
Ben was aged 42 years.  He was born in Vermont, but resided in Reno nearly all
his life.  He was spent most of his time prospecting and, had he lived a few
months longer, would doubtless have had his time and money well repaid.  Mrs.
Dickey is his only relative residing here.
