H. r. Murdoch:
Resolved, by the members Of the bar OF the
First judicial district of Minnesota That the
death of Hon. William McCluer, judge OF the
district court for this judicial district, has
brought to the bar grief as sharp and poig..
nant as the event was sudden and unlocked
for. The sad words, Judge McCluer is
dead" came to us one after another ike a
bolt from a clear sky, and each OF US felt a
most painful shock and tearing at the heart
strings. The swift summons removed from
us the man who was not honored and re-
spected merely as ar able. just and c0nsc1-
entious judge, but was loved by us all as a
dear and personal friend. NO one came 70
know him without being impressed with the
kindly nature of the man. Every one valued
his friendship, and those most who knew
him best and longest.
To his judicial duties and determinations
he gave most patient, earnest and conscIen-
tious attention, which, with his more than
ordinary ability and learning, resulted in just
and well-grounded decisions. His kindness
and courtesy to all who had occasion 10 ap-
pear beforehim put every one at ease Though
by no means wanting in dignity, ne was
singulariy approachable and friendly. he
did not hedge himself about with any OF the
formality which keeps one at distance
His CHEEKY greeting ana pie ania1 h Wolo,
which never failed him, were not forced or
assumed. but came from the kindness OF his
heart and his natural good will to his fellow
men.
His prominence as patriotic citizen, MS
interest in every good word and Work, ms
genuine kindness to every one, and especial
ly to those in afflction or distress, make his
loss keenly felt by the whole community;
ana to the members of the bar, or those with
whom he was most intimately associated,
both officially and socially, the appreciation
of the great loss sustained by his death comes
with especial force.
"A Just Judge, patriotic citizen, a good
neighbor and dear friend has gone from
our midst.
To the sacred sorrow of his stricken wife
and family in this sudden and distressing
bereavement. we can only offer our profound
and sincere sympathy.
Resolved, That members OF the bar OF this
district attend the funeral as body. and
wear the usual badge Of mourning for
period of Thirty days.
" Reilly and COnnors, who were de-
feated in the bateau race last Saturday.
have challenged Barron and Sutton to
another race for a hundred dollars a
side. and no doubt the gauntlet thus
thrown down will be promptly picked
up. The partisans of each crew are as
confident as ever.
The city council last night accepted
the resignation of j. R. Carli, alderman
from the Third ward. The committee
on lights reported in favor of replacing
the incandescent lamps on Main street
by twelve arc lights, at a cost of $65.2S
per month.
Messrs. Sauntry & Co. bought yester-
day, for 1928 per Thousand, the 100000
feet of logs picked up below Hudson
bridge by the boom corporation.
A special programme has been ar
ranged for the badge shoot of the gun
club this afternoon.
