GOVERNMENT SURVEYOR
KILLS HIMSELF AT ELkO

H## H H A#aHHHH.4#
w. Il. Hoffman, a government sur
yeyor OF st. Paul, Mimi. slashed a
deep cash in his neck, under the lett
ear. severing the carotid artery n
bled to death in room 54 of the Com
mercial hotel at 7 o'clock Tuesday
morning.
The first known of the suicide was
when J. C. Clark, who occupies room
81, opposite Hoffman, visited o
mans room and knocking on the door
entered. Clark saw HOFFMAN lying on
the floor and Immediately ran to the
clerks office and notified Clerk
George Whalen that Hoffman was
having q fit. The two men raj to
Hoffman's room and found him in a
pool of blood. Whalen and Rupert
BRYANT saw Hoffman gasping and
pulled the body out of the pool of
blood and Whalen hurriedly called
DR.. Sheffield. who quickly responded,
but was too late to be of any assist
ance as Hoffman was breathing his
list.
Coroner Castle was notified and the
body was removed to the undertaking
rooms of J. l.. Keyser. and an in
quest was held Tuesday afternoon.
Little is known of Hoffman, only
that be came to the Commercial hotel
May 30, registering from St. Paul. He
is said to have lived in Reno for
some time and came to Elko from
Salt Lake to take charge of a crew
of surveyors to work on government
lands in Lamoille valley.
J. L. Clark. who is also in the gov
eminent service, was, 1t Is under
stood, to be working under Hoffman
and was to have charge of a crew
of surveyors. Early Tuesday morn
ing Clark and his crew were to have
left on their trip. They had their
wagon In front of the Commercial
hotel loaded up and had just return
ed from the Observation-Disclosures
grocery where they had got their sup
plies, when Hoffman suicided.
In an interview with Mr.. Clark by
a representative of the Independent,
he said; Il met Hoffman about a
week ago In Salt Lake and was in
structed to report to him at Elko, I
arrived here two days ago and had
been in Hoffman's company consider
ably. Last night we were going over
accounts together and l noticed he
acted strangely and his mind seemed
to be distracted and several times he
