JUDGE NICHOLS DEAD.
The Career of an Able and Upright Judge
Brought to O Close.


Judge William A. Nichols, for many
years leading light in the legal world,
died at bis home in New Lisboa, yesterday.
Judge Nichols has been for many years
the leading attorney OF New Lisbon, Co.
lumbiana county.one OF the three counties
of the sub-division, Stark, Carroll and
Columbisna countieg. The Judge was
elected to the common pleas bench IN 1884
succeeding Judge Labbie who had been
elected to the circuit court bench. Before
prosecuting attorney for that county and
won for himself the esteem and approval
of all who knew him. Judge Nichols held
common pleas court in New Lisbon and
Carrollton, although before his election
of judge in that division he frequently
held court in Canton, being well known to
the people OF this city. Some idea of his
popularity may be gained by the knowl'
edge that he was elected 10 his second
term without opposition, and though he
was Republican, the Democrats did not
even oppose bis election. Judge Nichols
was universally esteemed by all who
knew him. He was naturally fair and
impartial, as well as able In
his decisions. There probably has
been no common pleas Judge in Ohio
who has given better satisfaction tLan
Judge Nichols, and bis loss will be deeply
felt by the bar and people, and his place
will be exceedingly hard to hll Judge
McCariy went to New Lisbon this morn
ing TO assist In arranging for tie funeral.
The members of the bar of this county
will meet at the court house tomorrow
afternoon Mt l 80 o'clock to conclude ar
raDgements.
