tinction in the profession. He was
best known, however, for his kindly,
gentle spirit, his genial ways, rare
fund of humor, intense love of all out
door sports, and the passionate devo-
tion manifested by his friends. He
was good comrade who looked out
upon the world with human eyes, a
man who treasured friendship and the
pleasures it brought high among the
best gifts the gods could bestow. In
the practice of his profession he was
a strong and vigorous but a clean and
manly fighter. His magnanimous spir-
it was strikingly illustrated during the
recent labor troubles on the Illinois
Central, caused by the striking ma
chinists at McComb and Water Valley
AS district counsel of the Illinois Cen.

the most radical punishment inflicted
on strikers who had violated the In.
junction order, and were in contempt
of court, but it was at his suggestion
that Judge Niles made the punishment
as lenient as possible.
