j. Warner Mills, one of the foremost

Annotated Statutes, died in Denver
Friday after being unconscious two
days. The Herald editor became ac-
quainted with Mr. Mills in 1889 in
Lake city and was present when he
married. At that time Mr.. Mills was
a young man Just getting into legal
harness. But he was a student and
a hard worker. 1t is related of Mr..
Mills that at one time he was interest
ed in case that required much study
and oratorical effort before the jury.
He betook himself to a secluded spot
uear Lake City and for an hour ad-
dressed an imaginary court and jury,
becoming as eloquent and excited as
though he were addressing real peo-
pie instead of pine stumps. The cpl
sode leaked out by some one dis
covering him, but the party refrained
from saying anything about it until
after the trial in which Mr.. Mills won
the case 1t is little wonder, there
lore, that Mr.. Mills made an enviable
name and record.
