MR.. GREBE's PRESENT.
At the close of the Saturday morning
session of the district court, Mr.. George
Ambrose sprang to his feet and
stated that he had q little matter he de-
sired to lay before the court. He said
that In the court room was q man who
had been engaged as a court officer since
November, 1869. That during all the
long years he had conducted himself and
his business in q manner which called for
nothing but commentator and praise.
That he had been faithful to every trust
and had been courteous and gentlemanly
at all timer. Mr.. Ambrose said thas in
these times when public officials were 30
prone to be unfaithful 1t Is meet and
right that a deserving officer should be
rewarded. He then called upon Judge
Wakeley to call upon Mr.. Grebs and
pronounce sentence upon him,
Mr.. Grebe wa called within the railing
and was asked by the court whether he
guilty or not as charged. He sad that he
was guilty. CHOW" said Judge Wake,
ley, ''have you anything to say why tn,
sentence of this court should not be passed
upon your Mr.. Grebe said he haC
nothing to say. The court then ordered
that he go from the court house hence tt
General Frederick's hat store, and there
be fitted with a sealskin cap and a pair o
sealskin gloves as a token of esteem anC
respect from the old members of the ban
in this city. After pronouncing sentencC
the court followed with a few well chosen
words, complimenting Mr.. Grebe upol
the manner in which he had pc formed
his every duty.
While sentence was being pronounced
the old veteran stood with uncovered heaC
and a tear sparkled in his eye. At it
closed he simply said, Gentlemen,
thank YOU"
For sixteen years Mr.. Grebe has per
formed his duties in a manner becoming
faithful officer, and this mark of conf
dence and esteem, coming as it does from
the court and the most prominent mem
bers of the bar, is something which speak
louder than words, and can be LOOKED
back to with justitiable pride by tn
worthy recipient.
