gan with his election to the office OF city
attorney for Olympia, which trust was so
acceptably discharged an 10 earn him
e.ection in the fall of 1890 to the Office of
prosecuting attorney of Thurston county.
In 1895 he was elected mayor OF Olympia.
and his every public trust has been faith
fully and carefully discharged.
Up to this time he had always been 4
Republican. but since the agitation of the
silver question he had been a strong cham
pion of silver. Following the st. Louis
convention of 1896 he emulated the exam
pic of Henry l.. Teller in making a more
or less dramatic exit from the Republican
party, and was prominent among those
who assembled at Tacoma a few days
later to take part in the Silver Repub-
lican party in Washington. His judicial
nomination followed. and in the election
of 1896 he was triumphanily elected over
Hon. i. NJ. Reed, ex-register of the United
States district land office at Seattle. and
then incumbent upon the Thurston county
bench. Judge Ayers occupancy OF the
bench was brief. but highly efficient and
honorable
In 1891 he was married to Miss Cora
Ellis. daughter OF Isaac Ellis. now of
Seattle. To this union five children were
born. the oldest but a child OF years
and the youngest about months old. all
but the youngest of whom are boys.
Judge Aver was an honored and active
member of the Washington State Bar
Association and of the Thurston County
Bar Association, but aside from this he
held no membership in fraternal or secret
organizations. He had made little pro-
vision for his young family aside from
a modest life insurance.

LINDFORS' BODY IS FOUND,
Calvert Lake Gives u Its Dead.
but Mystery StIil P1evnlas-.Do
Evidence of Foul Piay

Special Dispatch to the ost-Intelligencer.
CHENEY, March 9.-The body OF Oliver
Lindfors. the wealthy Calvert lake ranch
er. who mysteriously disappeared in Sep
tember last, was found floating in the lake
near his ranch last Sunday afternoon by
Andrew Lindfors. the dead mans brother.
The coroner held an inquest and the Jury
found that death resulted from unknown
causes. On the body were found two five
dollar bills and twenty-six twenty-dollar
gold pieces in a belt. The clothing was
badly torn from the body. The remains
were well preserved. No marks of violence
or Indications of foul play were found.
Lindfors disappeared during harvest. and
had been working very hard, aud. it was
thought. had possibly become mentally de-
ranged from that cause and killed himself.
The fact that he was known to have a
large sum OF money with him caused mur-
der and robbery TO be suspected.
Lindfors niece. Marie Lindfors who has
since married a man named Larson. stated
after her uncles disappearance that on the
night he was last seen alive he made i'm
proper advances towards her and became
angry when repulsed. Some argue that re-
morse for his action towards the girl
caused Lindfors to drown himself. She
says she made 10 threats Of prosecution
against him: in fact thought little of his
action. and fear of the law could not have
driven him TO suicide, most persons here
think.

OLYMPIA, March 9.-Hon. Charles Hen
ry Aver, judge of the superior court of
Thurston county, died at his home On
Union street at 9:l5 o'clock tonight, after
a long and painful illness. which baffled
all medical skill. For several days prior
to his death Judge Aver suffered terrible
agony and was of necessity kept con-
stantly under the influence of opiates, and
his last moments tonight were marked by
absence Of pain. lie bore all his suffer-
ings with remarkable fortitude and al
lowed no word of complaint 10 escape his
lips. He was fully aware some time ago
that his case was hopeless and had fully
prepared himself for death by settling up
all earthly affairs days before the end
came.
The cause OF Judge Ayers disease, and
even It's exact nature. was unknown TO his
physicians. and an autopsy IS now being
held to determine these matters. The gem
eral opinion OF the medical men Was that
the disease was an aneurism OF the heart.
The malady attacked Judge Aver while
holding court In Montesano last winter.
and Increased gradually until death re-
suited.
