DICK" COHEN PASSES

To the average person who met him. Dick Cohen
was Just little man in minor county job, who pre-
sumably did his work and was hardly to be given a
ond thought.
Those who had the pleasure of an intimate ac-
quantance however, knew Dick" as most interest
ing character. Born in Caaveras country prior to the
Civil War, Dick lived a boy in highly interesting
times. He veritabe mine of information and
tradition regarding the stirring days of Joaquin Muri-
eta, Bret Harte, and many others who played mpor
tant parts in the early times of California.
On his mothers side he connected with
eral of the old California Spanish families-those
lords of estates of thousands of who bitterly
resented the encroachments of the "grngoes." His
father built the first stone building in Calaveras coun
ty and according to 'Dcks' story Cohen senior left
his little family at the outbreak of the Civil War;
help the Union cause.
In his early manhood Dick was figure in San
Francisco politics, being elected the 9th session
of the legislature from that city, and he had many
quaint tales of politics the game conducted in
the early eighties
AS Spanish interpreter of the superior court here
for nearly two decades Dick did not limit his duties
to the Interpretation of testimony in the courts He
was sort of general overseer among the Mexican
people. They to him with their troubles, to get
information the law, for assistance in getting mar
ried in Strengthening out family quarrels, and the
many demands unlearned people in foreign land
are bound to make upon someone whom they consider
friend Dick" had his code for handling these
people. He did not hesitate to scod them properly If
he believed the occasion demanded it. Without any
real legal authority he assumed considerable of that
commodity yet would say that he abused 1t. He
cut red tape in dealing with his sem-charges and he
usually right, else he could not have retained the
confidence of attorneys judges and the hundreds
whose affairs he handled.
Dick" served Imperial county we'll in many i'm
portant cases. and particularly proud of being
connected with its affairs He was proudest of all OF
being native Californian and of having this state
emerge from sparsey settled wilderness, to great
empire.
He will be missed around the courthouse as he has
been missed during his last illness The Mexican peo-
pie will not be alone in mourning him for Dick num-
bered his friends among all walks of life and II he
valued highly the friendships that his. too did
those who knew him best value his friendship some
thing really worth while.
