Bozarth Tonopah, Feb. 12.- (Special to the Gazette).- The last honors were paid to the remains of the late W. R. Bozarth yesterday afternoon with services in Masonic hall by Tonopah lodge, No. 28, F. & A. M. The body was returned to the undertakings parlors and escorted from there to the railroad station this morning for transfer to Oakland where it will be cremated. Acting by direction of the Nevada industrial commission an autopsy was held by Drs. Craig and Richards who reported that death was due to a weakened heart. An inquested followed Saturday at which a verdict was returned that the deceased came to his death in pursuance of his duties as master mechanic of the Tonopah Mining Company, when he went out with a rescue crew to save employees of the company at Millers from probably death when marooned in the blizzard of Thursday night. Mr. Bozarth was one of the oldest employes of the Tonopah Mining Company, having been in the service of the company for seventeen years. He recently returned after spending a month in Victor, Colo., superintending developments on the Tonopah-Ajax mines recently acquired by the Tonopah Mining Company. It is believed that the altitude of ten thousand feet weakened his heart action and the exertion of digging out the relief truck on its mission of mercy caused his collapse.
