JOHN R. McLEAN, PUBLISHER, DEAD
Washington, June 9 - John R. McLean, publisher of the Washington Post and the Cincinnati Enquirer, died at his residence in the suburbs here this afternoon. He had been ill for weeks.
Besides his newspaper properties, McLean, whose real and personal properties ran up into many millions, owned the controlling stock in the Western Gas Light Company and was a heavy stockholder in street railway companies.
McLean was born in Cincinnati in 1848. His millions will probably go to his son, Edward Beale McLean, who married the only child of the late Thomas Walsh, Colorado mining magnate.
