was arrested by Sheriff Myers in

of having forged an alleged will

half that he was entirely innocent

until he was arrested. The will
purported to have been made in
November, 1906. Theresa Spriggs

tilted that he received the will in
an envelope, on March 81 There

and he took the will to the Or
phaus' Court. The names of the
Rev. Charles Carpenter, of JEFF
fersoa, and William Jones, of
Buckeystown, were on the alleged
will as witnesses.
LOwery was required to write
some words dictated to him, and
Robert A. Kemp, called as an
expert on handwriting, testified
that the writing resembled some
what the alleged will.
The court ordered that Lowery
be held for the action of the
Grand Jury. but reduced the bail
to $3.50. L0wery was unable to
furnish bail and was sent back
to Jail. He was represented by
ID. Princeton Buckley.

Nov. 3-Another pioneer has cross
ed the great divide in the person of
Benjamin Tyler of Oleta, who died at
his sons residence on Monday even
lug at sis, O'Clock. Mr. Tyler has
lived half century within few
miles of Oleta, at what was widely
known as ryler's ranch. In the early
COS be was engaged in numbering,
having a saw mill on his place. He
therefrom furnished a great deal to
the surrounding country. lie came
to the state, if remember rightly in
talk with him several years ago, in
1850 aud settled down to mining just
above Nevada City. He said that at
time the long tom and rocker we're
the only source of saving the gold
mined out from the beds OF the
streams. In its primitive wildness
men of that day we're untutored in
auy good way OF saving the precious
metal that so many had come seeking.
Dirt he said that would pay five or
ten cents to the pan was cast away
as refuse. One progressive man see
ing his chance of making a little
fortune, secured an option on all the
refused dirt that so many had cast
away as unworthy OF working. He
dug the first long ditch of that vicln-
lty being in length three or four
miles, and invented the sluice that is
now so commonly used by miners
and proceeded to wash up the east
away dirt that he had secured an
option on. The consequences we're,
he made fortune out of the venture.
No man was hardly better known
than Mr. Tyler. He was a man of
sterling qualities being the best of
citizen.
