bar, held in Toledo, committee COM

f1ecting the sentiments Of members OF
the bar of Tama county, touching the
retirement OF Judge G. w. Burnham
from the bench Of this judicial district.
The committee offered. and there was
unanimously adopted, the following:
I'VE the members Of the Tama coun-
ty bar. being duly assembly, take oc-
casion in this manner to assure Hon. q.
w. Burnham, upon his retirement
from the district bench, that during his
twelve years Of Judicial service We
have found him to be capable and
honest Judge. His rulings have been
characterized by conscientious re-
gard for the law, and by fairness and
impartiality as between litigants and
their attorneys. His unfailing cour-
tesy toward all the members of the bar,
young as we'll as old. has made 1t a
pleasure to transact business In his
court. In his social relations with the
members OF the bar and citizens gen.
orally. he has been affable and famil-
lar, yet always maintaining that pro-
priety Of speech and conduct which
people look to see in Judge. AS he
retires from the bench, he carries with
him our sincere esteem and our best
wishes for his continued health. hap
piness and prosperity.
1.-THE sentiments which we here ex-
press for ourselves we believe to be the
sentiments Of the people Of Tama coun-
ty, so far as they have had occasion
to know Judge Burnhams work as a
judge and his character and disposition
as man."
A committee composed Of Hon. E. G.
Ebersole. Hon. J. r. Caldwell, Hon. II.
]. Stiger and Hon. S. c. Huber was
selected to present this at the district
court, and also have the same spread
upon the records Of the district court.
The foregoing resolutions were pre-
scented by the committee to the district
court on Monday. with the request tina,
they be spread upon the records Of the
court, and 1t was so ordered.
Appropriate remarks were made by
the committee and other members OF
the bar of Tama county, highly eulog-
istic to Judge Burnham. The bar was
largely represented, and all present
made remarks in harmony with the
sentiment Of the resolutions. The oc-
casion was very interesting and enjoy
able and one in every way compli-
mentary to Judge Burnham and mani
tested the high esteem in which he is
held by the bar Of Tana county.
The compliment of the occasion, In
Guiding the resolutions and the re-
marks of the bar, was one Of which any
man might justly feel proud. Judge
Burnham most appropriately acknowl-
edged the compliment and high honor
paid him by the bar Of Tama county
He was deeply affected by the kind
sentiments expressed in the resolutions
and remarks made by the members OF
the bar. The occasion will long linger
in his memory as one Of the bright and
joyous things that take out OF life's
disappointments much Of their poig-
nancy.
