TEACHER LOOSES [sic] LIFE IN FLOODED HUMBOLT

    Miss Rachel RAND, art instructor in the Reno city school department, 
was drowned Monday afternoon near her home in the Palisade while trying 
to swim the rushing waters of the Humbolt river. Funeral services will 
be held at Palisade today.
    Having completed her work in the Reno schools, Miss RAND was 
spending the vacation with her parents at their home 12 miles from 
Palisade. Monday she attempted to swim the Humbolt river, which is 
running fast with the melting snows, getting as far as the center of the 
stream when she became exhausted and sank before assistance could be 
given.  -  Reno Gazette
