AND RESOLUTION
ON THE DEATH OF HON.
JOHN LEE LOGAN

10 the Honorable Supreme Court of the (
Territory Of Idaho.
Your committee heretofore appointed
by an order Of this Court to prepare
suitable Memorial with reference to the
death of Hon. John Lee Logan, late
Associate Justice of this Court, beg
leave to report as follows:
John Lee Logan was born March 9th,
A. ID. lS4S, at Salem, Virginia, was
educated at Washington and Lee Uni
vorsity, at Lexington, Virginia, and was
admitted to the practice of law in 1869.
He began the practice of his profession
in the City of New York, with tho firm
of Day, Lord Il Day, with whom he re-
manned for five years, when Re organized
the firm of Logan d Mellis, in 1880, and
continued in octive'practice until March
14lh, 1888, when Mr.. Cleveland ap-
pointed him Associate Justice of this
Court.
Hard work and study at his profession
had already sown the seeds of consump-
ton, and upon his first appearance among
us il was apparent to everyone that his
days Of lie and usefulness were limited,
and that it was matter of but short
time until he would be taken from US.
On October llth, 1885, he was mar
ried TO Miss Gertrude Tucker, daughter
of Hon. j. Randolph Tucker, of Virginia,
who accompanied him to Idaho, and
whose wifely devotion, continued with
uniailng attention, served to prolong his
life, and smooth bis path to the grave.
He died at Lewiston, on January 18th,
1890, passing away quietly and without
pain.
1t is to be regretted that he did not
come among u. in the full vigor of health
and strength. As it was, We could dis-
cern in him qualities of mind and char
acter, keenncss of perception, thorough
and scholarly knowledge Of law, and
that elevation of mind which gentle
breeding always brings, elements which
had good health and physical vigor ac
com panied them, would long have made
him an ornament to the Bench.
His brilliant talents and his kindly
and social qualities made him many ant
lasting friends and admirers during hi
short career among us. who can think o
) him only with affection and regret.
Therefore, Your committee offer thes
resolutions:
Resolved, That in the death of job
: Lee Logan, the Bar of this Territory ha
4 lost an able member, and an ornament t
' the profession to which he was devoted
!, That we tender to the family OF tn
' deceased our sincere and hearty sym
. ? pathy and condolence.
That these Resolutions and th
& Memorial be entered upon the records I
) this Court, and certified copy there'
d be forwarded to the widow Of the de
# ceased, by the Clerk Of this Court.
d Respectfully Submitted.

Near Van Vert, o.
VAN VERT, o., July 19.-An unsuc-
cessful attempt was made late Friday
night to rob the north-bound passenger
train on the Cincinnati, Jackson g. Mich
igan railroad. Three men boarded the
engine of the train at Enterprise.
O., and attacked the engineer.
Vandevender, and his assistant with
iron bars and coupling-pins. The
trainmen made plucky fight, but were
finally overpowered and knocked sense
less. The robbers, however, did not
succeed in stopping the train, and just
before reaching Van Vert made their
escape. The train rushed on with the
engineer and fireman lying bleeding
and unconscious in the cab.
Passengers who were waiting for the
train at Van Vert were astonished to
see it going through the station at the
rate of twenty five miles an hour and
with apparently nobody on the engine
to guide it. At the north end of the yard
the train ran into a switch engine and
was brought to a standstill, both en-
gines being wrecked. Engineer Van
devender was found dead in the wreck.
