JUDGE COOPER IS DEAD.

u. of the Superior court of Pima county, died Saturday afternoon at 4 o'clok, at his home, 616 Fest Sixth street, after continued illness and gradual brea king of health that has kept him from his official duties for several months, says Mondays Tucson Citizen. Judge Cooper was a prominent citizen of this city and of Arizona, and was admired and eStee med by all who knew him.
 Judge Cooper has been aff1ict- ed with asthma for number of years, and during the last year his illness. kept hum closely con- fined to his home. His death was not unexpected.
 Judge Cooper had the distic- tion not only of being the first judge of the superior court in Pima county, but was also the first superior judge sworn in after the admission of the state. His creditable and enviable re- putation as representative of the bench was well earned. The record of no public man had been more faultleSS.
 Judge Cooper was native of Wayne county. Indiana, born August 6, 1858, and to the public school system of tbat state he was indebted for his early educa- tiOnal opportunities He was graduted from the high school at Richmond, Indiana, and af- terwards entered the Peekskill Military Academy, at Peekskill, New York, there completing a classical course by graduation in June, 1887. At the early age of 8 years he began to work during his school vacations in a country newspaper office, and served his apprenticeship as printer, and in after years worked as a com poSitOr on many of the leading daily papers of the United States. He had been member of the He had determined, however, to make the practice of law his life work, and after his gradua- tion returned to Richmond, In diana, where he began his read ing in the office and under the preceptorship of Judge W. A. Peelle.
 . As a result of too close ap- plication to his studies, he suf- fered very severe physical breakdown, and was compelled in the latter part of 1879 to aban- don his wAtk and seek health in the west. After two or three years service as cowboy, he regained his strength and re- sumed his studies. He was ad- mitted to the bar of the district court of Arizona in October, 1894, and to the supreme court in December of the same year, and was licensed to practise before the superior court of Los Angeles in 1895.
 In 1891 Judge Cooper was married to Miss Elizabeth A. Douglas, a native of Arizona, and a daughter of James s. and Melquiades Douglas, the former a Scotchman. To Judge and Mrs. Cooper were born six child ren, John D., Vida E., Orville w., Xulla M., William F., Jr., and Mary Eileen.
 The funeral was held this af- ternoon at o'clock from the family residence, under the of the Masonic lodge. was at the Masonic cemetery.
