ances of the fine old gentleman.
Judge Blair was in his usual good
health on Sunday evening: on Monday

premonitiOn of his approaching end.
He was among his associates in the
club until noon, and then. not feeling
well, he went to RS room. He had
severe pain in his side, for which DR..
a G Ewing prescribed. Late Monday
evening the judge grew worse; DR..
PinkertOn and Dr.. Union WOrthingtOn
were called in. a trained nurse was Sc
cured and all that was possible was
done by doctors, nurses and attend
ants to alleviate the suffering of the
man who was favorite with all. It
was all in Yain, and just as the morn
ing was breaking his spirit took its
flight The doctors are CT the opinion
that death was the result OF heart fail
uIe. brought on by old age.
Judge Blair has had an eventful ca
reer; he was in public life the greater
part Of sixty years; he filed many high
offices and filed every one well. He
was universally liked and respected by
ali with whom he was brought into
contact.
The judge was born in Virginia April
%, 1921, so that had he lived until next
April he would have been so years
Old As a young man he studied law
and located in West Virginia. He

one of the most active in securing
statehood for his state during the civil
war. He also represented his govern
ment at Costa Rica and later was ap-
pointed associate justice of Wyoming
by President Grant. He served in that
Office for a number Of years and then
came to Utah in 1889 In 1891 he was
made probate judge here and served
in that Office until 1895. In 1897 he was
made surveyor general for Utah by

Chinese merchants contributed money
TO the police for gambling privileges
that gambling is going on and declar-
ing that it must be stopped, are what
some of the ast0nished denizens OF
Plum alley found pasted on their door
posts yesterday morning. The blood
red posters bearing these startling al
legations in black Chinese characters
caused no end of stir among the Celes-
tiaIs, who were strong in their denun-
citation of the Christian Chinanan

jealous because he cannot be the high
mandarin of the alley.
JOng Ming, who has been ceaseIess
in his efforts of late to secure the abO-
litiOn Of gambling among the Chinese
on the alley, stole through night before
last, it is claimed, and pasted his far
ing red devils, as they were called
in the Chinese lingo. Ching Ching. one
of the leading Cinnamon, translated
the posters. He said they were public
accusations against him that he col

paid it to the police so that the latter

satiOns were falsehOOds, invented by a
humbug Christian. who was hOodwink-

expressed it, Ming no good.
Ching and some Of the other China
men admitted that gambling had been
going on in the alley, even up to four
or five days ago, but declared that it
had stopped and that they We're going
to send some Cinnamon to the Chris

it had stopped.
The trouble all arose, Ching claimed
over the effort of Ming to be the boss
of the alley. This Ching said. the
Cinnamon would not stand, because
they were all equal and would not be
bOSSed by one man. Ching declared
that the authorities had no right to
close uD their gambling houses unless
they closed UP the others, too.
