Sloan served as district federal

He became known among working

Here are two samples OF Judge
Sloan's work on the bench: M
Near Prescott are the $100,000,00O

The woman brought suit against
the Pullman company for $4,000
damages. The company offered TO
settle for $4,000. but the woman re-

lawyers secured a new trial for the
Negro.
Before Judge Sloan the case was
called for trial again. II opened with
a short consultation In low tones be-

At the 1908 Republican national
convention Sloan voted against every
progressive plank offered by insur-
