OBITUARY.
R. T. LEES.
Mr Richard Thomas Lees, familiarly known as " Tom," succumbed on Sunday evening last, after some 8 or 9 months of suffering, to a malignant internal growth at the residence of Mr A. Turner, Condobolin, with whom he was connected by marriage. From a robust man of about 13 or 14 stone, the late Mr Lees had become reduced to about half that weight when death put an end to his sufferings. Though latterly residing at Bogan Gate, the deceased was a native of Bandon, Forbes, formerly conducted an hotel in Condobolin, and was well-known throughout the whole of this district. He was a noted tank sinker, and the large tank at Carlachy Siding and numerous others, big and little within an area of scores of miles in this part of the country, are jobs he carried out. Mr Lees was 46 years of age, and leaves a wife and young family of 5, for whom the keenest sympathy will be felt. The remains were conveyed to Bogan Gate for interment yesterday.4
