DIES SUDDENLY ON STREET

New Hampton, Iowa, March 25 – “Cody” Cotant fell dead on Main Street in New Hampton on Sunday morning. Some men who were near saw him throw up his hands and then fall face downward upon the pavement. He was carried to Miller and Kenyon’s bus barn but had died before physicians arrived. His death may have been due to disease of the heart or to absence of alcoholic stimulants, which he used too freely, and without which, no doubt, he would have collapsed.
