A SUDDEN DEATH.

     W. T. Tow, one of Nevada's old and most highly respected citizens, passed away at three o'clock Saturday morning.

     Mr. Tow's illness was a short one. He had been working in the yard Friday and was feeling well until about 7 o'clock in the evening when, it is supposed, he suffered a stroke of apoplexy. It was supposed he would recover until about noon Saturday when he commenced sinking.  At 3 o'clock the next morning death claimed its own.
