whose schools and those OF Virginia
he received his education he
pursued his law studies in n was
graduated from the law depart
ment of the University Of Virginia
n OF the formost schools for legai
education in the country and where
many of the prominent lawyers and
statesmen of the nation have re-
ceived their training in sound legal
learning. After his admission to
the bar in Virginia, Mr. Horsey re-
moved to Spokane, Washington,
where for a time he practiced his
profession. Upon the suggestion OF
a friend who was Interested in the
mining development then taking
place in Phoebe, Mr.. Horsey in 1905.
removed to that camp and has since
with his family made it his
home. II may be noted in passing
that Mr.. Horsey is the fortunate
possessor of a good wife and three
children, two sturdy boys and a
baby daughter. These hostages
to fortune" do not necessarily
qualify a man for public Office, but
they are apt to make a man a YET
ter as well as a more aHioltlous
citizen than he otherwise might be.
Mr.. Horsey's character and promise
as d lawyer so soon won public re-
gard, that in the winter of 1906,
when the district attorney of
Lincoln County, died the County
Commissioners appointed Horsey L
fill the vacancy. At the election il
1906, the people of the count!
ratified the choice Of the commits
sioners by electing him to the Office
In 1908, he could again, had hC
wished to be a candidate, hav,
been elected district attorney. Blu
he declined to accept the nomination
rendered to him.
Mr.. Horsey was an able an,
succeusSful district attorney. II
was fearless and vigorous in tn,
enforcement of law skillful i
prosecution, securing far high pei
centage of convictions. and did niue
to repress certain forms of Law
l~cssness with which Lincoln Count
had been afflicted. Since his retur
to private practice he has been as
ISOLATED with or alone conducte
the defense in all the importan.
criminal trial in his county. an
has been connected with one side {
the other of almost every civ
litigation of Importance. II
services as a legal adviser and as a
advocate are much sought afte
and r highly valued by the poop
OF his county.
: Although not a large man, ply!
ically. he is strong and forceful
character. Studious and logial i
mental habit he forms opinions d,
~liberately but with certainty. II
judgment is sound, and he is NJ
only to form conclusions but whe
formed he is not wanting in courag
to express them or ability to mantai
their correctness. 1t has been sal
of him that few young men ha,
grown mentally so rapidly as h
has or shown as much capacity fc
development along the lines of pr
fessional attainments.
With his sound training in II
law, his record as a public ofici
and a lawyer, his untarnishe
reputation for integrity. his hig
ideals of public duty, and-not lea
of all-his marked capacity f
growth along the lines to which
apples his powes, the people of ii
Fourth Judicial District may fe,
assured that if they elect Charl,
Lee Horsey their district Judge, h
will prove to them the wisdom {
their choice, by being that mo!
valuable of public servants, a
honorable, Impartial, upright judg.
and by becoming with the trainin
which experience alone can give, q
able one. The Independent con
mends MIR. Horsey to the consid,
alton Of all voters in the distri,
regardless of party. We feel co,
fident that if elected, he will reali,
the position Of Elko county in Il
judicial district and that Elko wi
be the gamer by his making II h
home.
