lone Buie liat of it poignancy
when the departed had made prop'-r
accountlui,' for the talent thai were
given into hi keejdriK; when the
life had been bo lived that there
were left 110 regret at its manner
regret only that there must come
aeparatlon, Ioh of aai-0' laMon, the
Clolri of the hook for one who had
done hla duty well.
There In no death for tlx; workn
of a man like ('baric '. Coutant,
and in those works our friend shall
continue to live. Wherever bin la
bor have taken him, flrn in the
treat city of New York, then In Old
Mexlro, In Alaska, and finally In Ore
gon, thin man hu left hl lmpreHH.
Charles 0. Coutant I remembered
for the kooi he has done and In that
memory and In tho t rut urfs which
be hag hullded through friendship be
till llvei though the pnls hns
ceased Its bcatlnR.
Endowed with an energy that knew
no bound, n rourafn that knew no
defeat, nn ahllify that made him
marked In every community, he wan
a power unto himself, a tower of
trenjrth for every enterprise In
which ho enlisted.
Tear nre shed for tho loss of this
man but none becntiKe In life he had
done less than hl full duty by his
fellow man.

On ( hristinas Uiy for the last time
Mr. Con taut came lowi town, hut
then una in did lie suffer from an at
tack of the disease, and when lit re
turnisl to his home, it was to leave it
no more in the ir of life. Hut
against the infirmity as nuaint all
the problems that ever i onfront'sd
( harh-s (i. Coutant, did the man make
a iletennintI Hnht, unci time and again it appeared tluit lie
would he the victor. Till the last few days he liad spoken confident

Charles (',. Conduit was of (Junker parentage, horn in l ister
county, New York, on Octolier Kith, IK 10. At the nee of seven
years he was left an orphan, and the second seven-year period of his
life was nssil iihui a farm where he made his home with an
uncle. The ambition to Ixsoiue ii newsxiper man took possession
of the lad, and when foui'ttsen he went to New York City, where he
obtained employment as oflice lxy in a publishing house. The
youth was alire with the spirit of his work, however, and in a very
few years he bud hccoiiu a newspaper writer, all of his spare nio
inenis having been given to the obtaining of an eiluealiiiii. Self
eiluciueil, Mr. Coutant had stonsl tip in his retentive memory a fund
of information that was the greatest asset in his professional work,

work of the greatest value to the journals with which he was em

the story of the (iolden West for the
Xew York papers. later visiting Old
Mexico in the Mime rapacity. Wittt
the outbreak of the c ivll war the
young rorresoiHletit was given a rov
ing commission, and during the
years of national strife he followed
tin' fortunes of the contending arm
ies, telling the story of buttle, to the
thousands of readers of the great
ilnily uiiers lie represented. In like
manner he followed the Indian wars
on the western plains in the 70s, u
faithful recorder of events on un ad
vancing frontier.
Leaving the employment 'f the
Xew York publications, Mr. Coutant
settled in Kansas, where he at once
became a leader of public thought,
the paper which be published ibeing
recogiiiied an one of the strongest
editorially in the state. He was in
strumental in the organiJition of the
Kansas Editorial association, of
which Ixxly he was president for
many years.
The early Wh f.nmd Mr. O'uwnt in Wyoming, and here iu In
Kansas he at once became prominent in promoting the welfare of
u adopted state. In addition to his newspaper work there he wrote
a history of Wyoming, a magnificent record of the commonwealth
from its earliest days, a work that is authority in all matters per
fining to territory and state. Through the publication of these
volumes be established his position as a historian of ability.
As state librarian of Wy in Mr. Coutant won the commen
dation f the entire citi.enship. being admirably fitted by nature and
by inclination for this oflice.
The following characterization of Charles (i. Coutant, publish
ed in the Cheyenne Tribune during the period of his work in that
state, well shows the manner of the man and the position be occti
pied in the public mind:
"IVoluihly no man who ever lived in the state has given so
much gratuitous 'labor for the public good. Colonel Coutant might
be railed Wyoming's industrial 'John the Ilaptist,' for he has been
preaching in the wilderness and preparing the way for lo these
many years.
'Colonel Coutant could get more real pleasure out of boring for
water on a sandy desert and waiting for the potato to supplant the
cactus than most men could derive from settling down on a highly
