Mrs. CogsWell

At Los Angeles, California, at 4:15
Wednesday afternoon, Mrs. Frank
Cogswel of Elko. closed her ewes on
earthly scenes to reopen them in the
land beyond the river. The sad news
was conveyed to Judge Morgan in a
dispatch received from Mr.. Cogswell
this morning.
Mrs. Cogswel was born in California
October 8, 1866. When she was six
years of age, she came to Elko with her
father, the late r. M. Dorsey, and this
has been her home. Here she was
married and raised family and here
she was held in high esteem by large
circle of friends.
Last summer her health began TO fail
and few weeks ago she went to Los
Angeles in the hope that a change of
climate would benefit her. On We'd
nesday, an operation was performed on
her, but her weakened constitution
could not recover from the shock.
A husband, one daughter, one son
and two grandchildren, all residents of
Elko survive her. They have the
sincere sympathy of this community in
their bereavement. May the pure, I'M
selfish, Christian life of their loved one
be to them solace in their great
sorrow.
At this writing it is not known when
the remains will arrive here nor when
the funeral will be. . o..

Hans Miller

Hans Miller, whose sudden death at

toned yesterday, was born at Varde,
Denmark on the 18th day of November,
1912. In 1857 he left his native land
and went to Utica, New y DIRK, where
he remained about year. He then
left for the west and came to what is
now the eastern part of Elko county.
He worked for the Central Pacific rail-
road company and was selected as one
of the men to guard the pay Car. When
this service was over he settled in Elko
and made it his home.
On April 20, 1878, he was married to
Miss Christina Kruse, who survives him.
Eight children were the fruits of this
marriage, five of whom, four daughters
and one son are living. all of whom are
here to attend their fathers funeral.
Mr.. Miller was q Industrious, honest
man. He did his work we'll and his
record as a citizen is without stain.
His work is done and he now sleeps in
death. May that sleep be unbroken
until the resurrection morn.
The INDEPENDENT extends it's sympa-

aged mother be comforted by the love
and tenderness Of her children and may
her last days be days of joy and glad

Caught A Foraer

Sunday John j.; Kelley left Battle
Mountain for Salt Lake. When he
reached Carlin, he left the train long
enough to pass q forged time check of
the Nancy Bros. for $4S on Mr.. Line.
barger. He took $1S of the money and
left the remainder on deposit, saying
Tnat he would return Monday and get
1t as he was going to Elko to get his
teeth fixed. Monday Constable Happier
took the time-check to Mr. Ayrs, the
time-keeper for Nancy Bros, who was
four miles west of Palisade, and learned
that the time-check was u forgery and
and that Kelley had stolen ten blanks
from the time keepers check book. He
returned to Carlin and reported. the
forgery to Mr.. Linebarger and began a
search for Kelley. On Tuesday, Mr..
.Lllinebarger: received dispatch from
Kelley at Salt Lake asking him to for
ward the $50 due. him to Salt Lake
through the Walker Bros bank and to
waive Identification. Constable Kap-
pier wired Kelley over Mr.. Linebarger's
signature that the money would be for,
warded the next day by express, and.at
the same time wired the chief of police
to watch for Kelley and arrest him
when he went for the money. Con-
stable Happier followed on the first
train and REACHED the chiefs Office just
hs the detectives were leaving for the
bank to watch for Kelley. They soon
returned with their man. Kelley was
somewhat surprised to meet Constable
Happier and at first ne demanded re-
QUESTION papers,. After some talk he
agreed to return without them and he
is now safely locked in the Carlin jail.
Kelley's capture adds one more
feather to Constable Kappler's plume.
Whenever he has gone after criminal,
he has returned with the bacon.

AS there has been some speculation
regarding Judge Browns views on the
communication of John Dolan's sentence,
we interviewed him this forenoon and
he expressed himself as follows:
81 am glad that the board. of pardons
took the view that they could properly
commute John Dolan's punishment from
death to life Imprisonment. The action
of the board is no reflection on the action
of the jury which tried Dolan. The
jurors performed their duty consSi-
entiously and intelligently and their
verdict was in accord with the law and
the evidence. 1 think most of those
whip followed the trial must have up
proved both the jury's finding of guilt
a11 thEHenalty which was fixed by the
velflictH1 The evidence did not show
Dolan to be insane according to any
legal definition of the word and the
deliberate brutality of the crime called
for thetdeath penalty as matter of
strict justice under our law. To neither
the court nor the jury does the preroga-
tive of showing mercy pertain in case
like this was But the board of pardons
can consider matters which are outside
OF the evidence and the law. Dolan's
deplorable physical condition, and the
peculiar warp and twist of his eccentric
mentality were things which the board
could take into consideration. To the
board of pardons alone, belonged the
privilege. of tempering justice with
mercy. lam sure that high privilege
was properly exercised in this case"
