EULOGIZE COLONEL DAILEY Associate * of the Dead Banister Give Him Meed of Praise , LAWYERS COMMENT ON HIS LONG CAREER liar Aanoclntlon Meed and Henri Drlef bnt Enriiext Panegyric * Pro nounced nnil Arrniiire * to Attend the Fuiicrnl. The Pottawattamlo County B r association beld a meeting In the court house ycotcrday afternoon for the purpose of taking appro priate notion concerning the death of Colonel D. B. Dalley. Hon. D. C. Bloomer , president of the association , presided , and D. E. Stuart was made temporary secretary. The meeting was chiefly devoted to brief eulogies of their associate by leadlug members of the bar. President Bloomer spoke feelingly of his long association with Colonel Dalley , and declared ho declrcd to pay as high a tribute to the character of the dead man as words could portray. He spoke particularly of the Interest Colonel Dalley had always token In the progress of the young members of the bar and young men who were studying law , and declared that Colonel Dalley had gradu ated more laWyers than any other member of the bar. There was never a time when there were not at least one or two young men In his office studying law under bis di rection. Interest In the young men did not cease when they ceaoed to bo students , but ho was always ready with advlco or more practical assistance to help them alcng In their cases whenever such help was needed. He had knonn Colonel Bailey intimately during all of the time since ho became a resident of the city , tad looking backward over those Icng and eventful yars , he was unable to recall an Incident In his pro fessional career that was not wholly to his credit. L. W. Rces paid a glowing tribute to the character of Colonel Dalley as a lawyer and as a man. Ho ascribed much of his success to his ability to draw men to him. Judge J. R. Reed said ho had become ac quainted with Colonel Dalley when the lat ter was first appo'nted prosecuting attorney for the Third judicial district of Iowa , which U now the Fifteenth. That association wca always of the most pleasant character , and throughout It all the habits and conduct of the man strengthened the good opinion formed at the start. Judge Reed paid a high compliment to Colonel Bailey's ability as a criminal lawyer , end declared that In this rcopect he stood at the head of the Iowa bar. As an attorney he was moat scrupulously exact and honest. He never took advantage of a client , the court nor the oppbslns counsel. Ho entered Into a cnao with hlo whole heart and soul , and while always a most formidable antagonist , ho was abso lutely Invincible when ho was convinced of the innocence of a client whom he was defending. In all recpccts ho was the Ideal of professional courtesy. A number of In cidents were recounted showing bis fidelity to his clients , which tha absence of a fee or any sort of compensation could not affect. Several incidents were called up wherd he had not only defended and acquitted clients without any hope ot compensation , but had expended large sums ot his own money to carry the ca < < < ! s through. At the conclusion of the euloglof a com mittee was appointed , consisting of L. W. Ross , Judge W. I. Smith , James McCabe and Flnlcy Burke , to draft suitable resolutions for adoption by the association. It was noted that a majority of the members were at ono time law students ot Colonel Dalley. A committee of fifteen was appointed to at tend the funeral on Monday afternoon ao representatives of the association. The rqen selected were : I. N. Fllcklnger , E. E. Aylcs- worth. C. G. Sounders , C. M. Harl , W. H. Ware. O. D. Wheeler , H. O. Ouren. J. J. Shea. G. H. Sttllman , John N. Baldwin , John Liidt. G. H. Stlllman. W. A. Mynster , W. E. Balnbrldgo and J. J. Stewart. A committee to provide flowers and decora tions for the casket was also appointed , con sisting ot Jacob Slma , James McCabe , Spencer Smith and H. J. Chambers.
