She never regained her senses.
Miss Tanner was attended by a local physician and on Saturday, Dr. C.C. Snyder, an uncle, was notified of the desperate nature of her condition. Knowing full well that he could not render any assistance at Cokeville, wher there is no hospital, nor accomodations such as the case required, Dr. Snyder instructed those in attendance to take the girl to Salt Lake, meanwhile having sent to Cokeville, Miss Lydia Lantz, a trained nuirse.
The patient was placed on a train at 1 o'clock Monday morning, but her condition was such that she died before reaching Granger at noon. Her mother and a number of her relatives were present when the end came.
County Commissioner J.A. Back of Piney was present and assisted in placing Miss Tanner's remains in the casket.
The grief-strick mother has the sympthy of the people of this county.
