DEATH CLAIMS A VICTIM. 
Dr. A. D. Risdon Dies, Suddenly and Without Warning, of Neuralgia of the Heart. 
Just before three o'clock yesterday afternoon the announcement came that Dr. A. D. Risdon was dead. As he had not been ill the news was startling and unexpected, but proved only too true. Dr. Risdon had been suffering for several days from a cold, and Tuesday symptoms of neuralgia, as he thought it, developed. Dr. Curtis was consulted and the patient seemed better. 
Yesterday morning he visited some of his patients in the city, returning home at noon, suffering again from neuralgia. Dr. Curtis called at one o'clock and upon leaving was informed by the sufferer that he was resting easy and in no pain. But at about 2:40 yesterday afternoon he was taken suddenly worse and died after five minutes, before medical aid could arrive. Dr. Curtis was sent for, but when he arrived Dr. Risdon was dead, the neuralgia having gone to the heart, resulting in his almost instant death. 
The deceased, Dr. Augustus D. Risdon, was born at Mt. Morris, N. Y., June 2, 1826, and was consequently over 63 years of age. One son and two daughters survive him, all living in California except Miss Ada, who was with him when he died. He also has three brothers and two sisters residing in California. They have been informed of his death and one of the daughters is expected up from her home in Oakland in the morning to attend the funeral Friday. Dr. Risdon came to Salem, in June 1882, and has many friends here.
