CATION of his extreme partizan views,
he aroused bitter enmities and ans

severity. He had kind heart, and

The Gate CITY says:
Judge Claggett was sixty-one years
of age. lie came to Keokuk In 1850
and has resided here ever since. He
occupied a position on the bench for
two years, and served Que term as a
member OF the Legislature. Hepur-
