M.C. Tilden, who practiced law in Virginia City for several years and established a law office in Sacramento some four or five years ago, died in San Francisco a few days ago. He had an altercation with Clinton L. White some months ago and sued him for $10,000 damages. The jury awarded him one dollar and he had to pay $90 fees to the jury besides costs of court. He was a native of Ohio, 62 years of age.
