the Humboldt river west of town.
A number of linemen were at work
and Cosct started to climb a pole
setting in the river. AS he step

the river and found the water so
deep and cold that it was impossi-
bic to reach the drowning man.

the river and brought to town.
Corner Morgan held an inquest and
a verdict of accidental drowning
was returned by the jury.
Coset's home was at Bhst Oak

Just before o'clock this morn,
ing one of Elko's fairest and best
young women, Miss Winifred Hester
COtant, closed her eyes in eternal
sleep.
Miss Cotant was born at Fort

good health. Monday afternoon

covered from the shock of the ope-
ration and seemed to be getting
along nicely until Friday after

Miss Cotant was a bright Iowa
BILE young woman She was justly
popular with all who knew her.
Today host of relatives and

forever.
A father, mother, two sisters,
three brothers and aged grand
parents survive her. They have
the sympathy of the entire COM
munity in their great sorrow.
May God comfort and console
them.

sleep be as peaceful as her life was
gentle and pure.

WHERE TO SEE THE COMET

Everybody will want to get a
peep at Halley's comet, but in order
to do so now, you will have to get
up very early in the morning. The
comet now rising in the east about
two hours ahead of the sun, but
after the 10th you will be unable
to again see the heavenly visitor
until the 10Th, when it can be
observed in. the northwest i'm
mediately after sunset. From May
20th to the 23d the comet will
probably be at its brightest, though
a tail of great lenght is not probable.
On these dates it can be observed
in the northwest where it sets two
hours after the sun on May 2lst,
three hours after on May Odd and
four hours after on May 9th
Within in two weeks from that
time it will fade from view to the
naked eye. Don't get excited in
regard to Halley's comet. That
same old comet has been doing
business for a good many hundred
years, and will probably continue
to do Business for many hundred
years to come. Twelve million of
miles is the nearest that it will
come to the earth, and there is no
danger of a collision. AS mat
ter of fact, the comet was nearer
to the earth a week ago than it
will be again while you are alive,
and as to passing through the tail
Of the comet, don't let that bother
you, as there is nothing to it. The
heavenly bodies are much like the
works of watch they keep right
on doing business in the same old
way. However, don't miss the op-
portunity to see Halley's comet as
you will probably have to wait
about rs years before you get
another chance.

MR.. S. A. HIGHFIELD

The friends of MIR. 5. A. High
field of Carlin were shocked this
forenoon to learn of his death. At
10 O'Clock last night, he suffered a
stroke of apoplcXy and this morning
at 1880 o'clock he passed into the
great beyond.
Mr.. Highfeld was born in Eng
land forty-one years ago. He came
to the United States in 1876 and
settled in Carlin. In May, 1902,
he married Miss Lou Lane of Elko.
A little boy came to bless the union
and gladden. their home.
For many years Mr.. Highfeld
was trusted employe of the
Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany. Yesterday he ran stationary
engine and seemed to be in his
usual health. About 10 O'Clock
last night he complained of his
head hurting him and soon lapsed
into Inconsistencies. DR.. Hood
was summoned, but when he reach
ed his bedside, Mr.. Highfield was
beyond human help.
MIR. Highfeld was one of Carlin's S
most highly respected citizens.
Nearly his whole life was spent
there. He was an honorable, up
right man, faithful employe and
one of Elko county's best citizen.
Today the home he loved so we'll
is desolate. A young wife mourns
beside the bier of her loved one.
To her, the world looks dark and
drear. Loving friends offer
sympathy and consolation, but they
fail to drive away the gloom or
heal the broken heart. God alone
can do that. To Him we COM
mend the grief-stricken wife.
Besides a widow and young son,
the deceased leaves a brother,
Harry, living at Carlin and a sister
residing in Scranton, Pennsyl-
vania. To all of them the Indepen-
dent extends its sincerest
sympathy.

MISS COTANT'S FUNERAL

One of the largest, and yet one

the deceased, acted as pallbearers.
At the services held in the home,
the choir under the leadership of
Miss Nettie Armstrong, sang, Safe
in the Arms of Jesus" and "Abide
with Me-" and at the grave, Good
Night"
In the course of his remarks, the
Rev. S. G.. Gilman said, at is hard
to part with life so young: so
beautiful. and so full of promise
and yet this life was already sue
cess, because it had learned how to
live; and it isn't always the num-
ber of years that we live, but how
we live the years that we do live.
Some of the most helpful lives have
been lives that were not permitted

they were here they excrted an in.
