JUDGE SANFORD EULoGIzED:

Resolutions Adopted at the Ear Meet. Q ing Saturday on His Death-Eulogies
 Delivered by ex.Governor Ingerson,
 State Attorney Doolittle and Profess
 .sor Robinson.
 At the bar meeting held in the superior court room Saturday morning fine and we'll deserved tributes were paid to the memory of Judge Edward I. Sanford by ex-Gover- nor Ingersoll, State Attorney Doolittle and Professor Robinson. The meeting was very impressive and was presided over by At torney John W. filling. Prior to the meet, ing 8 committee consisting of ex-Governor Charles R. Ingersoll, Triton E. Doolittle, Professor William O. Robinson and ex- Judge Henry Ssoddard had been appointed to prepare suitable resolutions. Immediately after the meeting had been called to order President filling called for the report. Ex-Governor Ingersoll read the resolutions and spoke in glowing eulo- gy of the deceased's lifelong service on the bench. He said in part:
 l There have been instances of longer judicial careers but I do not think there has been an instance where the duties of a judge of the superior court have been prolonged to such an extent and performed so steadily as in the cage of Judge Sanford. His duties as judge carried him to every county in the state within every few months. He become acquainted not only ! with the people of every town but every ! school district. He adjudicated questions l in the courts, both criminal and civil, in. ! volviug the interests of all the people. l He exercised the duties of the high DO sition he obtained in life conscientiously
 and uprightly. He was conscientious man and his death causes sincere sorrow among us.
 l In his remarks MT. Doolittle said: Very 1 few of us remember Judge Sanford's en. trance into the profession which he had chosen for his life work. He was brought up and educated here in the city of his 1 birtb. He was known as studious, quiet modest man. He soon attracted attention ! among the business men of the community ! They called to consult him, and found tha
 he gave them sound advice. And so re ! spect for him increased and with it hii
 clientage. Very rarely was & controversy
 carried into the courts in 8 matter that h'
 had been consulted upon. Upon the bencl ! he was kind, courteous, patient, and wher
 his judgment came we felt that it cam,
 from a man whose only aim was to do thu
 right. No judge has given more satisfAc
 tion than Judge Sanford. He was an orna
 ment to the bench, an ornament to tn
 church and to the state. He lived an up
 right, worthy Christian life.
 | Professor Robinson told of Judge San
 ford's interest in the progress and success
 of the younger members of the bar ant
 said that the law school of to day owed 1t
 existence to Judge Sanford, who, by hi
 labors, prevented its abandonment by Val
 university. While judge of the city cour
 he made that place the training ground fo young lawyers, and in his transfer fron
 the city court bench to the superior cour I his interest in the younger members of tn
 bar was not lost.
 At the close of Professor Robinson's ad
 dress President filling put the resolution to vote and they were unanimously adopt
 ed by the members of the bar present.
 The resolutions were as follows:
