even an. enlightened editor is likely
to be victim of the belief that a

ideas. Karl Marx generalized this
supposition into a philosophy. If,
however, it was true there could be
no hope for the human race.

HI ROBINSON DIES
WITH HYDROPHOB|A

An Independent reporter was today
informed that Hi Robinson, who was
bitten by rabid coyote last fall, re-
Gently died with rabies on the Dia
mond "A desert near the Nevada-Idaho
line.
II will be remembered that last fall
Mr.. Robinson was bit .en on the face
by rabid coyote W iile he laid out
in the sagebrush west of Elko on the
Tuscarora road. He had been drink
ing to considerable extent, and with
others started home. When some dis
tance out of town his companions
turned back, but he made his bed in
the sagebrush and during the night
he was attacked by rabtd coyote. He
received a laceration on the face, but
he ridiculed the idea of rabies among
the coyotes and refused to return for
the pasteur treatment. He continued
on is way 20 the Diamond A desert
where he developed the dread disease
and died. His death occurred some
time ago, but word of 1t was only re-
Gently brought here through Charles
Howard, the sheepman.
This Is the first death recorded from
rabies in this vicinity since that Of
Miles McKinnon in Palisade last year.
Mr.. Robinson's homes was in the ex-
treme north end of Elko county, far
distant from medical aid. During the
winter months communication with
this place is practically cut off on ac-

ment can show what are the posi-
bilities of the next development.

pare to leave Germany was "prema

out the impression that the report was
not entirely unwarranted.
