 DIES SUDlL.HNI.,'Y.!I! ]. HN ], !! 1!

The people of Iditarod were grievously shocked yesterday morning as the sad ln- telEgence of the sudden demise of Mrs Alta M Auten, wife of George M. Auten, most estimable woman of this place, became known. The cause of death was heart fail ure. and she passed away shortly before 10 o'clock Thursday night, February 12, at her home at the Elk lodging house, which place she had been conducting for several months past.
 About two months ago Mrs. Auten was very i'll from the effects of an attack Of heart trouble, and was confined to her room for several weeks, but during the past month her condition had improved so mar velously that to her many friends she ap- peared in better health than they had ever seen her before All day Thursday she was cheerfulIy about her usual vacations, and several lady friends who called during the day and evening had congratulated her on her seemingly complete recovery from the late illness. In the evening MT. and Mrs. T. L. Thurston had made short call on Mrs Auten and had departed for their home before 9 o'clock, leaving the deceased in the best of spirits, busily engaged at her ia vorite pastime of doing fancy needlework. Shortly before 10 o'clock H. H. Porter, one of the lodgers, arrived from his day s business at his store, and found Mrs. Auten lying on the couch in the sitting room. Speaking to her and receiving no response, he approached, and saw at once that life was almost extinct Hurriedly looking for assistance, he hastened to the Thurstons' home, and both Mr and Mrs. Thurston lost no time in getting to the side of the stricken neighbor Everything possible was done by them to resuscitate her, but all efforts were
 in vain.
 Besides her husband, Mrs. Auten leaves one son, Lawrence, very promising young man, aged nearly 19 years, who left this city in the fall of 1912, and is now attend ing business college in Seattle.
 The funeral services will be held tomor- row Sunday afternoon at A. B. hall, this city, of which Mir Auten has been a mem Der for many years. Interment will De 1T Idtarod cemetery.
