Win. J. Davis contributes to the Record-Union this story of pioneer times: It was an unhappy combination ‘of politics and temperaiice that cost young Robert Tevis his life in the summer of 1855, in the mountsins of Sierra county. Tevis was a brother of the late Lloyd Tevis, and a native of Kentucky. He was a lawyer, practicing at Downieville and had met with success in the mining litigation that epgaged the atten-, tion of the courts so much in those days. In politics he sided with the “Know Notbings,” and was an aspirant for the Congressional nomination, witb fair hope of success. Miss Sarah Pellet was conducting a temperance crusade in the State, and some of the newspapers had attacked her somewhat scandalously. At Downieville she established a lodge of the Sons of Temperance with a large and respectable membership, and numbered among her friends and defenders the majority of the men of that’ mountain town. Atemperanve Fourth of July celebration was arranged, and despite the protest of those who objected to a woman orator, Miss Pellet was invited to deliver the principal speech. Tevis, who was also prominent in the 4 temperaneé movenient, was anxious to deliver the oration in order to make a favorable presentation of himself and to further his: political ambition. He made no concealment of his disappointment at the selection of Miss Pellet, and to pacify him he was selected to read the Declaration of Independence, with the understanding that he might speak briefly in reference to that docament. When the day for the celebration arrived about 2000 people were gathered in the town. Tevis read the Declaration, and followed it with a longspeech of¢@he regular Fourth of July order. The audience became impatient, and in order to terminate his oration anvils were fired off todrown his voice. Tevis angrily gave way to the orator for the day. Calvin B. McDonald was publishing the Sierra “Citizen,” an American party paper, aud the Democrats had engaged two columns in that journal to espouse their cause during the campaign. hese columns were edited by Chas. E. Lippincott, then the State Senator from Yuba county, and in them appeared a ludicrous account of Tevis’ participation in the celebration—an article that caused considerable fun in the town, but which was mortifying to Tevis and calculated to fire his chivalric spirit. He called on McDonald and demanded the publication of a card denouncing the author of the article as a “liar and a slanderer.” McDonald explained that he had no control over the columns in which the article appeared, but Tevis insisted on the publication of his card, and declared that if it was not published he would hold McDonald personally responsible and would challenge him. The card appeared and was promptly followed by a challenge from Lippincott to Tevis, which was immediately accepted. by ibe latter. Frieuds endeavored to prevent the meeting, and at one time iit was thought to be amicably arranged, but it was renewed. On the 7th of July the principals and their frends left Downieville. secretly for the duelling ground, which had been selected. about. six miles from town on a flat near the top of the lofty hills, but when about ready for the fight the Sheriff and posse approached and the duelling party moved beyond the county line and beyond the jurisdiction of the officers. In the meantime the principals with their seconds separated and practiced at targets forty yards off with doublebarreled shotguns loaded with balls, the weapons and distance that had been agreed on forthe duel. It was afterward told that each had broken a bottle at the word. Lippincot had declared that he did not wish to kill his adversary, to. whom he had never spoken, and wished to avoid the conflict, if possible, but the nature of the insult was such that he could not avoid sending the challenge. Tevis had selected. McDonald, in writing of” ner] ‘said: “The duellists took places, forty yards apart. The ground sloped alittle, and the higher position fell by lot t6 Tevis. ‘The sun was going sk and the faint voice of proadh night, the mysterious, i which always comes at that aie’ the vast solitudinous forest, was beginning} to spread through the air and through the buman ‘hearts that beard. it.’ As the second of Tevis walked away he turned once, and laid his finger low on his own breast, as an indication of where to aim. Lippincott observed the gestare, and fixed his eye on the same place on Tevis’ body. “The word was given, and both guns cracked at the same instant. Tevis sank down, shot directly through the heart and a lock of hair fell from near Lippincott’s ear. The fallen man had not made the necessary allowance for} descending ground, and his ball had passed directly over his adversary’s left shoulder and grazed his face. The wound was frightfully ‘large, as “if it bad been bored with an auger, and the green, sun-kissed ground was a horrible reek to see, as the red, life-tide gasbed and spurted over it. “The survivor and his friends departed; and the dead man was temporarily buried at the lonely spot where he had falien. On the following day the body was taken up, properly inclosed, and ‘packed on a mule to Downieville. The faneral there was large and impressive.” Lippincott fled to Nevada City but afterward returned to Downieville. His reception there was cold, and he felt himself “like another Ishmael.” After completing his term in the Senate Lippincott returned to his native home in Tilinois, to find his. father, who was'a minister, dying—it is said from a broken heart at the action of his son. ~ At the outbreak of the Civil war Lippincott joined the Union army, distinguished himself in battle and rose to be a Brigadier General. Later ‘on he was State Auditor of his native State. Religious Services Tomorrow. Tomorrow willbe the ninth Stinday after Trinity.
