DEATH OF A PIONEER.
Judge Isaac M. Hall, of Seattle, Expires Suddenly.
SEATTLE, April 26 — Judge Isaac M. Hall, the well known pioneer lawyer, dropped dead in Sheehan's saloon on Second street, yesterday, the cause of his death being fatty degeneration of the heart. He had not been home the night before, but had spent the night with some boon companions. He had been drinking some, but was by no means intoxicated.
At about 11 o'clock he went into the Pantheon saloon, and after spending some time there with friends talking about curious things in ancient history and reciting poetry, he went to sleep in a chair and remained thus until about 7:30 in the morning, when W. B. Stevens, the potter, wanted to scrub out the place. He woke the judge up and asked him to get out of the way.
Hall then went into Sheehan's place next door, and not seeing any place to sit down leaned up against the counter, and after awhile fell asleep. The porter aroused him and told him he had better go home. He said he was unable to walk home and asked for a chair. Stevens then conducted him into the little card room in front of the bar, where the Judge went to sleep in a chair.
The porter went on about his work, but in about 15 minutes he heard a crash in the little room. He rushed in and found the Judge lying on his face on the floor. It was quite evident that Hall was dead, and Stevens called in Patrolman Jackson, who summoned Coroner Horton. The body was at once removed to Bonney & Stewart's and embalmed.
I. M. Hall was born in Indiana in 1841, and came to California in 1863, and after remaining a short time in San Francisco came to Seattle in 1864, and commenced to practice law. This not proving very remunerative, he became connected with the Seattle Weekly Gazette, and after a while became its owner. He kept up his law practice at the same time, but was unable to make the paper pay, and it died in 1866.
Hall then went to San Francisco, where he worked as a journeyman printer on the American Flag, he having learned to set type during the three or four years he was connected with the Gazette. The demise of the American Flag shortly after he went to work on it again set him adrift and he went to Hawaii for his health, which at that time was not very good.
He returned to Seattle in 1867 and ran against A. S. Pinkham for County Auditor, the election resulting in 140 votes for each candidate. The contestants drew lots for the office and Hall won. The first marriage license ever issued in King county was that given by Judge Hall to Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Parker.
He afterwards went to Port Townsend, where he again got into the newspaper business with Al Pettigrove, but after a short time he sold out his interest and gave his entire attention to practicing law. In 1872 he returned to Seattle and has remained here ever since, with the exception of a few months in 1886, during which he resided in Olympia. From 1881 to 1885 he was Probate Judge of King county.

LECTURE MANAGER AND PIANIST DIES
Mrs. C. M. Kitchell Developed Own Method
Mrs. Charles M. Kitchell, who taught many Clevelanders their first piano lessons by a method she developed and who managed lecture series for 15 years, died yesterday in a private sanatorium in Euclid.
Mrs. Kitchell, known to many as Llewlla Kitchell, was born 72 years ago in Seattle, the daughter of Judge Isaac M. and Laura Crane Hall. As a young woman she was sent to a finishing school in Switzerland, where she studied German and French and began her musical career.
After returning to the United States she developed her method of piano instruction and taught privately for 20 years in Cleveland. For 15 years she managed lectures in the Higbee Co. auditorium. Among speakers she brought to Clevelan were Lowell Thomas, Carl Sandburg and William Beebe.
She married Charles M. Kitchell, now a retired dealer in artists' supplies, of 2940 Washington Boulevard, Clevelan Heights, in 1904. Besides Mr. Kitcehll, she is survived by a son, Charles H. Kitchell of Longview, Wash., and a grandson.
