Last evening at about half past ten
Millard Catlin, one the best known
young men of Carson City was found
In a dying condition on the sidewalk
at the corner of Third and Nevada
streets in this city and before medical
aid could arrive he had passed away.
Heart disease was the cause of his
death.

Rose Norton, resident of that sec.
ton who had been attracted to the
window of her house by hearing a
moaning SOUND as if some one was
suffering. She called to lady friend
! and I he two saw the man lying there
on the sidewalk The Sheriff's Office
was. notified and Immediately officers
Brule and Jas. Moss hastened to the
scene. They turned the man over but
before they could raise him to sit
ting position he had breathed his last.
Coroner Stern was quickly summoned
as was also Dr. Huffaker and the body
was taken to the undertaking parlors
OF George Kitzmeyer where an exami-
nation was made by DR.. Huffaker who
pronounced that death had been
caused by heart failure.
This morning coroner's jury was
called by Coroner Stern ard a ver-
dict similar to that of DR.. Huffaker
was reached.

cigars. After leaving the place Cat

and said he did not desire to accom-
pany the other two for walk down
town. The boys started down the
street and Millard started up. This
was the last seen of him until he was
found In dying condition as stated
before. It appears that he had
changed his mind and started toward
the southern part of the city taking
one OF the back streets.
When at the corner of Third and Ne
yada streets he was stricken with
the heart trouble and death followed
quickly. He had fallen on his face
