Judge Hall, an Old Time Lawyer, Drops Dead From a Chair
Seattle, April 25
Judge Isaac M.Hall, a pioneer lawyer of this city, and at one time leader in 
his profession in this section, dropped dead in Sheehan's saloon this morning 
of fatty degeneration of the heart. Judge Hall came to Seattle 30 years ago 
and commenced in practicing law, but afterward ran the Gazette, a weekly 
paper, for a time.He then went to San Fransisco, and worked for a time on 
newspapers, among them the American Flag. In 1866 he has returned to this 
city, and has since lived here. He was county auditor and county judge. 
Although a man of great learning and fine legal attainments, convivial habits 
rendered him unfit to take care of the large practice offered him, and for 
several years he has only nominally practiced. Last night he psent with boon 
companionsin the Pantheon saloon. At 7 o'clock he was asked by the porter to 
go out so he could clean up. He aroused himself and went to the saloon next 
door and went to sleep in a chair. A few moments later he fell over dea. 
Although he had thrown away his opportunities, he was highly respected by the 
bar and people generally for his learning, and hsi funeral will be marke by 
the presence of the bar association and several civic societies. He was 52 
years old.
