JUDGE 8. ]. OSBORN.
Last Saturday the governor appointed
the above named gentleman Judge of the
| newly created twenty-third judicial dis
trict. The appointment is an eminently
proper one. Among the many bright
young lawyers of Western Kansas, Judge
Osborn is perhaps the most thoroughly
equipped for these high honors. He rep
resented Trego county on the floor OF the
House during the last two sessions and
was early recognized as one of the most
prominent and useful members. That
his judicial career will be one Of honor
and marked by ability of the highest
order none who know him will for 9
moment Doubt Winfield Daily Courier,

To the Editor of the Eaton (Ohio) Register:
NEPHEW OF JUDGE ELLIOTT ON THE
KANSAS BENCH.
Stephen J. Osborn, of Wa-Keeney, late
representative in the Kansas Legislature
from Trego county, has been appointed
by the governor, judge of the new TWEEN.
ty-third judicial district of Kansas,
created at the recent session of the legis-
lature. Judge Osborn is native Of
Preble county, having been born in Lam
Ter township, near West Alexandria, in
1916. Old citizens of that vicinity will
remember his father, Samuel Osborn,
who, with his brother, Enoch Osborn,
lived in the Bantas Ford neighborhood,
in the vicinity of Martin Fontz's wooden
mill. The wife of Samuel Osborn. and
mother of the new Judge, was Rachel
Elliott, sister of Judge Henderson Elliott
of Dayton. The family left Preble coun-
ty many years ago, and Mrs. Osborn has
been dead about twenty years. Samuel
lives with his son, at Wa-Keeney, and
Enoch lives at Tabor, Fremont county,
Iowa.
Mr.. Stockmeyer, of Fort Scott, a
weather prophet of some local repute,
was also, believe, former resident in
the vicinity of West Alexandra.
The wife of Judge w. A. Johnston, of
the Kansas supreme court, was born in
Somers township, Preble county. Her
maiden name was Brown. Yours, Sol.
