So, Sir, frisked myself and fount
that I was the humble but homes
possessor of twenty-six,-yes twenty
six simoleons, and played the chunk

1t is alleged by some of the parti-
cipants, Your Honor, that this race
was held within an enclosure, in
order that there might not be vio-
lation of the law, and according to
the broad-minded view held by us
who have lived in the ways of the I'M
fenced range, it was an enclosure.
AS fragile memory serves me, there
was a barbed-wire fence partially
bounding the enclosure on the east;
to the north, by the elasticity of my
imagination, / could discern the
aurora borealis, on the south was the
procession of the equinoxes, and on
the west, sir, was eternity, the end
of time. AS / recall now, Your
Honor, those two sturdy horses could
still be running and not have covered
one-fifth of that half-mile straight
away course.
And, Sir, as I said before, there
was a race. And with the permits
sion of the Court, asking its pardon
for this depression, I desire to ask
you, Sir, have you ever been placed
in a position where twenty-six simo-
Icons, shekels, pesos, yen, or those
things known in this country as dol
lars, represented an overwhelming
majority of your capital stock? And,
sir, has it ever been your misfortune
to have taken Fair Chance by the
foretop and cast the die, to win or
lose your all in all, on the result of
a scrub horse-race? If so, Sir, you
are placed in a position to appreciate
the poignant pains which permeated
my more or less ponderous avoir-

lope leisurely under the imaginary

after the unbeatable and invincible
Dixie carrying the colors of the
sourdough coat and coon-skin cap,

Of grievous disappointment, dire
and financial engulf-
ment.
But, Your Honor, was not the on
ly sucker in that concourse of specta-
tors. There rose wall which could
be heard from Lavina to Milestone,

Epworth League; and the warmer
waxed the controversy the rifer it be-
came, Sir. l am trying to make an
honest living practicing law the best

Forsyth horse, having lost his money

was characteristic of him that not a
single lot was retained for himself
or his family.
In 1883 he married Miss Fannie
G. Irvine, the daughter of Col. Will
liam l.. Irvine, resident OF Deer
Lodge and pioneer of the state.
They resided in Deer Lodge until the
removal of Mrs. O'Bannon and their
three children to California to per-
NIT the hildren to attend the Uni
versity at Berkeley. Judge O'Ban-
non followed his family in a short
time and resided in California until
his death.
Judge O'Bannon was man one
would stop to look at in a crowd"
said Clinton HI. Moore, friend of
the deceased for more than 40 years.
HE had a most distinguished ap-
pearance, being tall and straight,
with black hair and eyes. He was
true representative of the southern
gentleman.
Ellis proudest boast was that he
had come to Montana as the first
United States commissioner in this
territory, referring to his commits
sion as register of the land office.
He was also a United States commits
sioner at Deer Lodge for many years.
Friend of Mark Twain
"The judge was a close personal
friend of Mark Twain, whom he first
met in Nevada. He never tired of re-
lating the jokes and tricks played by
the famous humorist during his days
as a news writer on paper at Vir-
ginia City, New, where they first be-
came warm friends, this friendship
lasting throughout life.
Judge O'Bannon was regarded as
one of the best land attorneys in
Montana during all the time he lived
in the state, making study of every
hing pertaining to land laws and wa
Ter rights. He was a man of great
learning and was one of the found
ers of the College of Montana at Deer
Lodge"
