Obituary

Robert Battice Tilley was born in
Washington County, Kentucky, Novem-
bef 2o, 1929, thus being rs years of age
at the time OF his death October %. He
came to California in the gold rush of
'49, and was resident of San Francisco
and vicinity for six years. During these
years he wrought at his trade, black
smith, and was present when the first
house of sawed lumber was erected in
San Francisco.
Thence he went to Eldorado, Gala
veras County, CAL, where he devoted
much time to mining and was prominent
in the affairs of that then active part of
the state. Here he married Miss Isa-
belle Davis in 1861 and after eleven
years of happy married life he laid his
young companion to rest. Soon he left
California and came to Pine Grove
bringing his four small children with
him. He remained in Nevada, spending
the last sixteen years in Mason Valley.
For years he has spent the winters with
his daughter Mrs. George w. Wilson
and the summers upon his own ranch.
The last year had been one of weak
ness. Many times his friends thought
him about to pass over, but he rallied
and went about the ranch. He did not
suffer acute pain but complained of
weakness and finally found rest October
23. During this year he had the tender
ministrations OF his daughter, Mrs. Will
son. and the family.
His son, Robert Tilley and family,
we're with him during these times of
extreme weakness.
The funeral services were held at the
home of Mr.. Wilson Sunday October rs.
Rev. George w. Beatty of the Methodist
church conducted the services assisted
by the following singers: Mrs. Dewitt
Crowninshield, Miss Mildred Whitman,
Mrs. v. F. Rawson and Mr.. Frank
Barnett.
A large number of friends accom-
panied the remains to the resting place
in the Elm Tree cemetery.
There mourns him two daughters,
Mrs. ]. R. Young of Los Angeles, Mrs.
George w. Wilson of Mason Valley, one
son, Robert Tilley, half brother S. M.
Mann of Quincy, ILL.,, and nine grand
children.

There has been some discussion about
the late arrival of some of the ballots at
the county seat, and various persons
have been blamed. The real cause OF
the delay was the failure of the Secre-
tary of State to certify the names of the
candidates for president and vice presi-
dent to the county clerk. The ballot
was set in type before his telegram was
received to add these names, which ne
cessitated Encouragement of the ballot
and delay of nearly two days.
This is all there is to it. No one in
Lyon county is to blame or gave wrong
advice.

Reno, New. Oct. %, 1905

Keno, Nev., Oct. %, lSUo.
Times, Yerington, Nevada: The an
onynous circular purporting to attack
Flanagan on account of his religion was
printed, circulated and paid for by the
Republican Committee as covert and
insidious attack upon Senator Newlands.
The Democratic Committee and Senator
Newlands denounce this circular and
condemn their use as time-worn, discred-
tied and contemplate method to deceive
the people. Senator Newlands never
has countenanced and never will counte-
nance an attack on any man on account
OF his religion, and knowing this the
Republican Committee is sending the
circular broadcast over the State in a
desperate effort to defeat Newlands.
The appearance of the circular was to
be simultaneous in all parts of Nevada,
and every Republican newspaper was to
be prepared to give it publicity and COM
ment editorially on it. We do not be-
lieve the practices of the forger and as
sassin will succeed in this instance.

is unamerican and beneath contempt
The attempt of the Republican press to
fasten responsibility sor this circular on
me or my friends will fail. My reputa-
ton for twenty-five years is worth moth

and iiberality of my views on such mat
tiers, and appeal to the Catholic clergy
to substantiate my statements.

Yerington Times, Yerington, Nevada;
Harry !. Humphreys, Chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
vives the following signed statement to
the press todaSs
" have In my possession copy of the
telegram alleged to have been sent to
The newspapers of Nevada over the sig
nature of Peter j. Somers, Chairman Of
the Democratic State Central Committee,
from which quote in part: The al
onymoas circular, purporting to attack
Flanagan on account Of his religion was
printed, circulated and paid for by the
Republicans as covert attack on Sena-
tor Newlands. and more to the sanie
effect ending with the declaration that
Instructions were issued from Republican
headquarters to the Republican press of
the State to use it simultaneously and
comment on 1t editorially.' Concerning
this statement that the circular eman-
aied from Republican headquarters di-
rectly or indirectly by, or was circulated
by the Republicans, or was paid for at
Republican headquarters after its dis
tribution over the State, shall not be
choice OF words, but declare 1t was an
unmitigated lie, That its source is from
some person bitterly opposed to Flani-
gan and the Republican party, is shown
by the fact that in Washoe county equal
ly scurrilous attacks in circular form,
printed on the same paper and in the
same type. and characterized by the
same style OF abusive language. is being
insiduously circulated against Hark,
Fitzgerald. Dodge and Sullivan. Repub-
lican nominees for the assembly. in
which language 10 used equally as abu-
sive and derogative, as against Flanagan.

Directors Meeting.

The Directors of the Yerington
Commercial Club met on Wednes
day evening and considered sew
eral matters of importance.
The proposition to act with the
city officials for better system of
fire protection was endorsed and
will be acted upon. This matter
is important. The city cannot af-
ford to equip and man a fire de-
partment, but a volunteer COM
pany can do efficient work in case
of a fire if aided by the city in the
way of small equipment and the
support of the officers to maintain
order and prevent unauthorized
persons from causing confusion
and loss at time when coolness
and quick, effective work is needed. !.
Investigation was started as to
the cause of complaints by various
telephone patrons.
The High School committee was
present and reported splendid
progress. -,
After November IS, there will
be an increase in the amount re-
ouired as a membership fee, so all
should get in by that date.
Arrangements will be made te
receive the election returns at the
Clubs rooms next Tuesday eve
ming, and the intention is to make
them complete.

The District Attorney contest in the
present campaign has been quietly waged
between the competing candidates Messrs
Miller and Lothrop during the past four
weeks and the public has not been adj
dressed heretofore as to its merits. How
ever as the public OF Lyon county is the
party most concerned in the long run.
the following information will enable the
voters to select intelligently their
candidate.
Mr.. Miller has lived and practiced his
profession for nearly two years among
the people OF this city, and there Is vet
to be heard any complaint as to his
honesty or capability. He has carried
on much of the most important litigation
begun in this part OF the county and has
always conducted the cases entrusted to
him as a lawyer should and with large
percentage of success to his credit. This
is sufficient proof OF his capability to fill
the Office.
D.
be faithful 10 his clients, rich or poor,
whether retained or appointed. Instance
his defense of Fay Furgeson, who was
held imprisoned in the county Jail at
Dayton. awaiting trial for six months on
a charge Of grand larceny, and when
Mr.. Miller took her case, on appoint
t..,S 80 x.,stH. faa rf nfaixy
fifty dollars allowed. yet he paid out Of
his own pocket more than half of the
amount of the fee, to get an expert wit
ness over from Yerington, and thus re-
duced the charge to where it justly be-
longed that of petty larceny, and Judge
Langan mercifully imposed sentence Of
thirty days in the county Jail.
In line with the above action it is only
fair that Mr.. Miller's action with regard
to the present suit to determine the
boundary between Lyon and Storey
cnunty, now pending on motion for new
trial should be indicated. When Mr..
Miller was appointed to the Office on the
o~fN~hCSA oNSciOh Va tnC AOaio, attCh-
tion was called to this case, and the
assertion made that his unfamiliarity
with the preceding conduct thereof
would prevent him rendering the quality
OF service to which Lyon county is en-
titled. He Immediately proposed in the
presence of the Board of County Com
missioners to pay to Mr.. Lothrop $12S
to continue to assist, as in the past,
Messrs. Mack and Green of Reno, in
the further conduct OF the same, which
proposition was accepted on the spot by
Mr.. Lothrop.
This, and other like action, insure the
public square and efficient officer, in
the event of Mr.. Miller's election to the
Office of District Attorney of Lyon
county, besides, vote for him means a
hit to young man, struggling for
success.

A Pioneer Dead

Milton Bovard, prominent citizen of
Yerington, died at his home in this city
on October 2S, 1908.
The deceased was born In London,
Canada, 0ctobEf 10, 1881, and crossed
the Plains in the early sos t6 esiifornia,
where he engaged in mining and mer-
chandising on the Mokelumne river, Cal
averas county, and the town of Camanche
Camp was named by him. In the SOS
he returned to Clinton county, Iowa.
and married Miss Mary Jane Waldorf.
Three children were the result of this
marriage ADELAIDE Bovard, Eliza Bo-
ward and Charles Bovafd. On returning
TO California In 1863 he settled In Sacraa
inento Valley ard engaged In farming
for few years, after moving to Elliott,
San Joaquin county, and engaged In
storekeeping and farming for several
years. He then moved to Acampo
| (Which place he named), on the South
ern Pacific railroad, and started store
there. From there he moved back to
Elliott and engaged in farming and
threshing until the fail of 1888, when be
came to Mason Valley, and has followed
farming and threshing up to the tinie Of
| his death. !.
The following children survive him:
Addie Benson. Sutter Creek, CAL: Chas.
Bovard, Yerington; George M. Bovard,
Yerington; Frank Bovard, Fairbanks,
Alaska, besides the following grand
children; Albert and Francis Bovard
and Elmer, Elva and Frank Hanson.
Our elders say; "Ah, when the
leaves begin falling, and then gaze at
one another. reading the question in
each others eyes: Whose turn nextf"
The leaves have been falling thick and
fast of late-so have some of the trees

Typical, this, the going out Of pioneer
whose good right arm had set out MANY
sapling to ''blaze the way for en-
pires," stranger, as such are, to fear.
| suppose Old Man Bovard had his
faults, but at this hour his virtues loom
big enough to balance them. Never
went man, woman or child hungry from
his door. Hundreds have tasted the
hospitality OF his roof tree. Never was
camper turned away from camp ground
or pasture. Around the old gentleman,
alwavs. there seemed to be plenty of
room. room and welcome for everybody.
To the last the man was efftinently pub
lie spirited. At three score and ten, and
ten more. when others would have been
bewailing aches and pains and fleeing
draughts, this man was jogging about
with his old horse and buggy even to
Ave days before his last, seeing with the
eve Of the philanthropic seer, great fu-
lures for Yerington and planning his
part in those futures.
There is a saving clause in the Good
Book by which many of us, indeed, shall,
perforce, be constrained to claim our day
