WILD DEATH RIDE KILLS BROTHER
 A "death ride" of William Goodman, thirty-seven, now of Bellingham, but formerly of Blaine, ended tragically in Bellingham late yesterday afternoon with his brother, Stoney N. Goodman, thirty-six, dead by drowning, and William in a cell in the Bellingham jail pending an investigation of his admitted suicide attempt. Driving his car at a high rate of speed and with his brother in the front seat beside him, William plunged the machine off a twenty foot dock into eighteen feet of water. Harold Doyle, a member of the crew of the Sound steamer, Mohawk, berthed at the dock, witnessed the plunge of the car, and when the brothers came to the surface he swam to their rescue. Firemen with a lungmotor worked for nearly an hour in an effort to revived Stoney, but to no avail. With news of his brother's death withheld from him at the time, William told police he had attempted to commit suicide. As the car careened to the dock, William said he urged his brother to leap to safety before they hit the water, but Stoney was intent upon stopping him. The deceased was a brother of Mike Goodman of this city. Funeral services for the deceased man will be held from the Icelandic Lutheran church in this city at 2 p.m. Saturday, Rev. Eylands officiating.

Subsequently he came to Seattle and entered the employ of the Stewart & Holmes Drug company, eventually being promoted to chief clerk. Returning to Bellingham in 1899, Mr. Graham joined with L.

This corporation continued active until December 12, 1912, when Mr. Graham purchased Mr. Munch's interest and changed the firm name to the Graham Drug Company.

Daniel Avery Griffen, who was taken ill about six weeks ago, passed away at a hospital in Bellingham at 6:35 Sunday morning. Mr. Griffen was one of the most prominent men in Deming where he had lived for the past 34 years, he having platted the townsite, and was universally known all over the county. At the time of his death he was conducting general merchandise stores at Deming, Maple Falls and Glacier. He was one of the largest property owners in Deming and for many years conducted the only hotel, which was burned last June when fire destroyed a whole block. He just recently completed a new building which contains the hardware store, postoffice, barber shop, printing office and the Standard Oil company's office.

Tuesday morning our little city was shocked by the announcement that Mrs. Ella L.

Griffen, Deming's prominent business man, and is survived by him and one daughter here, Miss Laomi (Peggy) and four brothers living at Stella, Wash., Oscar, Aleck, Edwin and Henry Anderson. In the death of this estimable lady Deming and this entire section has lost one of its most active and public-spirited citizens. Coming to this place with her husband some thirty-one years ago she has been a prominent figure in the social and civic elements of the town, making lasting friendships, which will linger long in the memory of those who survive her. Of dominant courage, sympathy and hospitality, we quote a paragraph from a writer in the Bellingham Herald: "A woman of quick wit, independent mind, broad sympathy and limitless hospitality, there was not a phase of life in her entire community into which her earnestness and energy did not enter and magnetize or color, while her gitts (sic) as hostess of the well-remembered Regina Hotel will live long in the memory of the traveling public, by whom she was everywhere known and loved." The Prospector joins the entire community in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones in their hour of sorrow.

GRIFFIN, Augustus (d. 1909)

By the death of Augustus Griffin aged 82 years at St. Luke's Hospital at 11 o'clock Sunday night after a lingering illness, occasioned by general senility, there is removed another of the few remaining historical characters of the era of the boom days of Chicago, Pennsylvania oil wells, California days of '49 and Whatcom County in the "eighties." Decedent was born in New York, September 27, 1826. Arriving at his majority he was imbued of that indomitable spirit with which the builders and explorers of the day were possessed and set out West to lay the foundation for his future career. The oil wells of Pennsylvania fascinated the young man and there he went. In company with a brother he located in Chicago in the early days and built the first grain elevator in that city. He was extensively engaged in the manufacturing business in various lines, but the big fire that devastated that city in the early seventies swept away his holding and by successive failures his fortune was reduced to practically nothing.

As an argonaut of California in the days of '49 he ranked as one of the pioneer figures. He crossed the plains with the caravan of ox teams and after, a long tedious journey reached the land of the new El Dorado. A brother who had sailed by way of Cape Horn, joined him in the search for gold. The hidden gold came to him as if by magic. He amassed a big fortune and returned to Pennsylvania with his load of golden treasure. He at once launched into the oil business and reigned, for a few years, as one of the leading oil kings and merchants of the State of Pennsylvania. But while fortune caressed him his wealth slipped away as easily as it came. During his career he won and lost several fortunes.

Twenty years ago he came to Whatcom County with a big bank account and located at the part of the town of Ferndale known as Griffintown, of which he was the founder. He identified with the interests of that town until about twelve years ago, when he moved to the city. The disastrous financial panic of 1892 caused him the loss of his holdings. But he was accustomed to such reverses and he never lost his courage not mourned over his fate. Too old to again seek a recovery of that which he had lost he came to the city and established a home at 1415 West Holly Street. He is survived by a widow, Mrs. Harriet E. Griffin, who has held a position in the schools of the city for the last twelve years, an only daughter, Miss Jennie Griffin, who resides in San Francisco and a nephew by the name of Monroe, who resides in Ferndale. Funeral services will be held at the funeral parlors of H. O. Bingham at 2 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, February 10, subject to change, however, pending a telegram announcing the inability a Miss Jennie Griffin to arrive in the city. Services will be conducted by the Rev. William Orr Wark. Interment will be made in Bay View cemetery.
