CONSIDERING THE
SUCCESSOR OF SMITH
Vacancy on Bench Of Seventh
Judicial District Caused by
Death-Six Well Known
Lawyers Mentioned.

Governor Davis will not announce
the successor to Judge Isaac N. Smith
OF the Seventh judicial district court
bench, who died last week in Boise,
until on or about May s, 1t is an
nounced. There are six men being Sc
riously considered for the appoint.
ment at the present time. One of
these six will likely be named. They
are Harry s. Workman of Emmett;
Frank d. Ryan, F. B. Lloyd and B. s..
Berry of Weiser; B. J. Dillon of Coun-
Gil and F. H. Lyon Of Payette.e
Judge Smith died after lingering
illness which started with influenza.
He was originally appointed to the
position of Judge of the Seventh ju-
dicial district by Governor Alexander
after the legislature two years ago
passed an act providing for two Judges
of that district, the legal work of
which is becoming very heavy. Judge
Ed L. Bryan is the other presiding
judge. A bill was passed by the last
legislature, but vetoed by Governor
Davis, seeking to create the Eleventh
district out of the Seventh, combining
1T to Adams and Washington counties.
The attorneys spoken of as possible
successors to the late Judge Smith
are all well known in southern and
southwestern Idaho. Harry S. Worth
man was a candidate for judge of the
Seventh district last fall, but was de-
feated. Frank d. Ryan is known over
the state as the father of the public
utilities commission law of Idaho,
having introduced the bill that later
became law In the Twelfth session.
of which he was member, and which
passed it.
The vacancy caused on the Seventh
judicial district court bench by the
death of Judge Smith makes possible
the first judicial appointment by Ida
hos new chief executive.

were buried who died during the war
of 1870. There are some 400 graves
In the latter, all neatly arranged and
marked. The American cemetery is
being similarly laid out and al, graves

identification cards. We wanted to
erect suitable monument over his
grave which is No. 1853, but were in
formed that only a small headstonc set
flush with the top of the ground would
be permitted in addition to the cross
At the captains request I took the
matter in hand and ordered a polished
dark grey granite headstone inscribed
with Meals name, rank, serial num-
Der, organization and date of DEATH
l personally supervised it's erection and
everything has been done that possibly
could be done. There are already sew
eral hundred graves in this cemetery
which IS In the midst of a beautiful
grove of hardwood trees. The hardest
part of 1t all to me is that these men
We're denied death on the battlefield
and unfortunately found their last
resting place here.

pital with him from the chaplain OF
