William D. Pratt, one of the best known publishers in Northern California died at the home of his friend, Ex-Judge W. R. Conant, at 9 o'clock last evening. The demise was as sudden as it was startling, as the decedent was an unusually hearty man and showed no signs of serious affliction until five minutes previous to expiring.
Mr. Pratt was aged 52, was a widower but had many relatives in Washington, Oregon and other parts. He was a native of Missouri.
Deputy Coroner Leslie Alward arrived here this morning and held a formal inquiry into the death. The body will be shipped to Redding tonight to the parlors of the Redding Undertaking Company, where it will be held awaiting instruction.
The dead journalist was a maker of friends, but did not fraternize very much out of the usual business and political circles. He was a staunch Republican and used his newspapers to the advantage of all those who ran under that political banner. He was in turn proprietor of the Delamar Enterprise, the Heroult Itemiser, Kennett View and Coram Enterprise, both the latter being his property at the time of his demise.
W. D. Pratt will be missed by a large circle of friends for a kindliness of disposition and general regard for his fellows that was remarkable.
