There he died, his yellow ea old law books and court files around him, the certificate of his election as justice of the peace in Casper, still his proudest memento, hanging on the wall above him. He was in his 77th year. W. 8. Kimball and ‘Thomas Cooper both recalled incidents of Judge Wil- liams regime as justice, an office which they agreed he filled admir- ably.

He had the dis- tinction of being the first colored man ever elected to any office in Wyoming. His nomination was considered something of a joke by many people, but during the two years he served, several important cases came before him and all, par- ties agreed that he conducted his court with dignity and wisdom. am reminded of an — incident that..happened at Inez during. our first campaign after Wyoming was admitted to statehood in 189 Mr. George T.

He told us that his father, Senator James M. Beck of Kentucky, had served several terms in Washington. This would give him a great deal of prestige, Mr. Beck asserted, and his wide acquaintance with public men would be of inestimable value to our young state. “At the conclusion of his remarks Judge Williams.took the floor, and said: ‘Mr. Beck, I have enjoyed your remarks, and personally I have the highest regard for you.’ Then, stepping before Mr. Beck and shak- ing his finger in his face, he sald: VAN NORMAN HOME AT SALT CREEK SADDENED BY DEATH OF LAD ‘The home of Mr. and Mra.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 1.—Travel- ing almost half way around the world to spend two hours on the witness stand in the government’ suit to break the Elk Hills naval reserve oil leases, Gano Dunn, presi- dent of the J. G. White Engineering pany which was accepted, Dunn said, eliminated any profit for the Deheny interests other than that for transporting the 1,500,000 bar- rels of fuel oi] to fill the tanks. The government has been saved $466,000 to daté on the work, the witness stated. The additional storage order for tanks to hold 2,700,000 barrels of oil at Pearl Harbor is 95 per cent com- pleted, Dunn said. The cost will approximate $4,000,000. : No progress of the work has been taken by the White company, Dunn said. ‘The trial was continued until next Wednesda; following the short sassion today. Admiral J. K. Robin- son, chief of the engineering divi- sion-of the navy, is expected to testify for the defense on that day. . THANKS! | i i : for. < I wish to publicly thank Mr. Nick A.
