world. He was born In Pinole on the
day that Dewey made his famous en-.
trance into Manila harbor. Bob prov
ed himself to be a fighter and was
named In honor of great naval hero of
that time. He was a victim Of six
powder explosions, but never received a
worse Injury than n singed coat One
day he was run over by n train, and
the workers at the powder mills gather
ed collection of 500 for his funeral.
Ever since then, when one Of the
boys of those bygone days comes to this
city, he visits the grave Of Bob Evans
anu ucNoiuttS IL Wltu lOktUS OI SNU
pathy for the brave and faithful play

Nearing has not been In this city for
eight years until he made his pilgrim
age to the shrine Of his memories. He
left here in 1901 for the Boer war and
after peace was declared went to Los
Angeles, where he is railroad man.
