After his reverses he went to Colorado and there made another fortune and about twenty years ago went to Cody, Wyoming, where he died Tuesday morning.
While residing here, Mr. Lantry filled the office of county surveyor and he was engaged in the newspaper business at one time. He was always prominent in politics and had newspaper interests wherever located.
