Milton M. Detch, Augustus Tilden
and j. G. Thompson, comprising a
committee of the Esmeralda County
Bar association, last Saturday pre-
sented to Judge Walsh of the dis
trict court resolutions upon the death
of P. F. Carney, a member OF the

90. Judge Walsh ordered the reso-
lutions spread upon the minutes OF

of the tribunal for the remainder OF

ory of Mr.. Carney. The resolutions
follow:
To the Honorable District Court
of the Seventh Judicial District OF
the State of Nevada and to the mem
bers of the Esmeralda County Bar
association of said state, hereby as
sembled.
Your committee appointed to pre-
pare a memorial of the late Patrick
F. Carney, a member of this bar, re-
ports as follows:
Patrick F. Carney was porn at
Watkins, county of Schuyler, state
of New York, on the 30th day Of Oc-
tober, 1872, and was called to his
untimely death in San Francisco,
Cal, on the 18th day of December,
1914. He leaves surviving him a
mother, widow and brothers and sis
ters, whose m we are unable
to procure. He was the son of the
late Francis Carney, lieutenant gov
ernor of Colorado. He was educat-
ed in the common schools of Colora-
do and completed his cours of edu-
cation in the University Of Colora-
do, where he received the degree OF
Bachelor of Law, and started the
practice of his chosen profession in
the courts of Colorado, where he
was associated with some of the lead
ing attorneys OF that state.
Being raised in a district devoted
to mining, he early received the call
of the lure of gold and turned to
Goldfield, where he was associated
as a member of the firm of Detch &
Carney and later branched out into
the firm of Detch, Carney & Stevens,
where he successfully practiced his
profession until September 1, 1911,
when he moved with his family to
Berkeley, Cal.
There are words and faces that
never lose their hold upon the
heart; Patrick F. Carney was one of
the kindest products of civilization.
He was a master of the science of
human experience. He was a mer-
chant of wisdom, and his stores
we're enriched by generations of leg
islators and judges. His learning
was sufficient to enable him to
realize the comparative littleness of
all human achievements. He had
outlived the ambition of display be-
fore courts and juries. He loved
justice, law and peace. He had
learned to bear criticism without 1r-
ri~tation; censure without anger and
calumny without retaliation.
He hated vice and delighted to
stand forth the conquering cham
pion of virtue, but neither love OF
friends nor fear of foes could
swerve him from the path of duty.
There is a voice from the tomb
sweeter than song; there is a re-
membrance of you, Pat, to which We
turn even from the charms of the
living; it buries every error, covers
every defect, extinguishes every
resentment. From our bosom
springs zone but fond regret and
tender recollection.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
lne court be requested to cause this
memorial to be spread upon the rec
ords of this court as a mark of es-
TEEN and respect of the bench and
bar, and that a copy thereof be for
warded to the widow and family of
Patrick F. Carney.
