souri, as a classmate of Stephen b.
Elkins in July. 1860. He Joined
Bledsoee battery at the outbreak
of the civil war and fought in six
teen engagements, surrendering at
Meridian, Miss, in charge of the
Third Missouri light battery.
He came to Santa Fe on July 81,
1866, and became q law clerk for
a short period of time in the law
office of Judge Benedict. In Janu-
ary, 1867, he was appointed district
attorney for the third district, al
though he was not admitted to the
bar until June. 1867.
Upon his appointment as district
attorney he moved to Las Cruces,
settling at Mesilla on February 26,
1867. He was elected to the lower
house of the territorial assembly
in September of 1868 as a repre-
sentative of Dona Ana county.
While attending the legislature
he was appointed attorney general
of the state by Governor Robert b.
Mitchell and served in that capac-
ity for three and half years, at
which time he was APPOINTED Unit
ed States attorney by President
Ulysses Simpson Grant. This Of
flee was held for six years, after

ness, had been one of the most ac-
tive politicians in New Mexico. He
was said to have applied for the

ment.
In the last campaign in the state
he was a candidate for the repub-
lican nomination for supreme
court justice, but withdrew in fa-
vor of Justice Frank w. Parker,
it was said, because the ticket
contained the names of too many

and was at one time president OF
the board
