Special to Times Republican.


Des Moines, Feb. 27.--Judsa Horace
f. Deemer, for twenty three years on
the Iowa supreme bench, whose death
took place at his home in Red Oak at
o'clock Monday morning. has been
in poor health for some TINA, his asso-
ciates here say. He has had some
liver trouble which has gradually
poisoned his system.
The news of his death spread quick
ly about the public offices here and on
every hand deep regret was expressed.
He has been considered one of the
strong men on the Iowa supreme court
bench for several years. He was a
tireless worker, was always up with
his work in the court and his opinions
had come to be accepted by lawyers
generally as the best law coming from
the Iowa courts.
1t is said here that Judge Decmer
worried far more than conditions war
ranted over the election last fall.
There was close contest on but
Deemer led all of the candidates and
many of his friends told him at the
Time tndl he was HSeuieSsly SOutelilSu
over the result But he seemed to take
the election to heart more than he ever
had any previous contests and it is
said that this helped to undermine his
health.
To Attend Funeral in Body.
The members Of the supreme court
will attend the funeral in body. Many
of state officials will also attend. Dur
ing his long career in public life he
has gained a wide acquaintanceship
among public men and was universally
held in high esteem.
Judge Deemer began the practice Of
law in the law office Of Lamb, Billings
ley and Lambertson Of Lincoln, Neb
He moved to Red Oak in 1879 where
he formed a law partnership with J. NJ.
Junkin. In 1885 he was elected district
Judge in his district and in 1890 he
was reelected. He was appointed
judge of the Iowa supreme court in
1894 by Governor Jackson at the time
the legislature increased the number
Of supreme court judges from five to
six. Since that time he has served
on the bench. He has been chief JUS
tice four times during his career on the
bench first in 1898, then in 1904, in
1910 and 1915.
He took a deep interest in all move
ments for the development Of the state
and was always ready and anxious to
encourage any movement looking to-
ward state growth. n
