Brother of [[Dave Tonar]] and probably brother of [[George Toner]]. Shortly after [[Jason Strevell]] arrived in Miles City and word got out the he was a lawyer, [[Dick Tonar]] approached him. His brother Dave had been thrown in the stockade for his debts. Strevell told Dick that it wasn't legal to do that, and he helped obtain his release. In 1879, he's mentioned in Miles City. In 1880, he's a [[buffalo hunter]] and a partner of [[William Roach]]. One winter, Dick Tonar brought an Cheyenne friend of his into the [[Miles and Strevell]] hardware store named "[[Hardy Bear]]", who he said knew of a place with a "fine gold prospect" that Hardy Bear was going to show to Tonar in the spring. Then Hardy Bear wanted to see Strevell's gold fillings (which must have been quite a few).
