RE MINISCENT.


Judge Benjamin s. Baker is not the
first Nebraskan to be appointed asso-
ciate justice and assigned 10 this dis
trict with headquarters at Albuquer
que.
In May, 1876, the then Judge. Hon.
HeZekiah $ Johnson. died suddenly
during the term of court at AlDuqucr-
que. Hon. Henry l.. Waldo. then chief
justice, came at my request from San
Ia Fe. and finished the term. Later,
and during vacation between spring
and fall. Hon John l. Redick, of Oma-
ha. Nebraska. was appointed associate
Justice and assigned to this district.

The Judge held the fall term at Albu-

first visit, caused one or more of his
Nebraska friends to put up job on
him. in the shape of story, to ac-
| count for his brief absence from his
Nebraska home. The story was in
substance as follows:
On the morning of the first day of
the court Judge Redick appeared in
the old adobe hall used as a court
room, unknown to almost all who en-
tered The attorneys and officers of
the court came in, removed their belts.
