FROM the reports of interviews that
are coming from the west 1t appears
that Senator Tillman is not much of
Bryanite. This is not surprising. Mr..
Bryan is a great man all right, but he
is not in very close touch with the

grieved as well AZ shocked last night
when the news spread abroad that
William l.. Thompson was dead. Few
knew that the gentleman was III. In
fact, the acute stage Of his Illness
lasted less than twenty.four hours.
Eleven years ago Mr.. Thompson
came to Las Vegas suffering with lung
trouble. He entirely recovered. For
the past week or two he had not
been feeling entirely well. but he had
no approximations Of serious dis
case. The insidious and deadly dia-
betes In acute form had, however.
fastened itself upon his system, and,
when the doctors were called only a
day or two ago, they at once realized
that the patient was doomed.
The end came peacefully and with.
out pain last evening at twenty min
utes past six.

January 4, 1863 at Atalissa, Iowa.
While = small child he moved to Mus
catine. There ut the age Of eighteen
years he engaged in the hardware
business with his brother Theron
Thompson. In 1890, he married Miss
Hattie G. 6tockdale. The widow and
one daughter. Gladys, survive.
II was May 10, 1926, that Mr..
Thompson and family came to Las
Vegas. After the gentleman's health
was restored he engaged In the hard'
ware business and for several years
he conducted a first class establish
ment here while retaining his inter
est IN the business at Muscatine. Less
than ! year ago Mr.. Thompson DIS

VIII Is a Strong One.

That Senator Brown drew his will with
the express determination of making it
plain that he refused to recognize the
offspring of Mrs. Bradley is apparent 20
anyone who has read that remarkable
document. Because it expressly states
that nothing whatever shall so to these
children and because it disowns them en-
tirely will make it extremely difficult
to contest. The laws of Utah provide
that the will is valid when the testator' s
intention is plain. and it allows him to
even cut off his own legitimate children
from any share in his estate, although
he cannot cut his wife off with less than
a third, unless by her written consent
For this reason it is apparent that the
attorneys for Mrs Bradley must have
some evidence at hand which can be en-
ployed in bringing into effect Sec. 2732
of the statutes. which is as follows:
"A will or part of a will; procured to
be made by dUress, menace, fraud or I'M
due influence may be denied probate"
