This was the last term of couit that
Judge Kinkaid will hold in this county ,
and as a testimonial of their regardthe
local bar , Saturday , passed the follow
ing preamble and resolutions :
Wnen the legislature of 1886 formed
the Fifteenth .Judicial District in
northwest Nebraska , it became neces
sary for the governor to appoint a judge
for the district. Many applicants asked
for the appointment , but the executive
wisely chose Moses P. Kinkaid , who
was appointed in March , 1887 , and at
the following fall election was nomi
nated by the republicans and elected
by a large majority , and was succes
sively elected for three four-year terms ,
the last of which expires next January ,
when Judge Kinkaid will , from his
own choice , retire from the bench of
this district. Therefore , be it
KESOLVED , By the Cherry County
Bar , that we part with Judge Kinkaid
as judge of the Fifteenth Judicial Dis
trict with regret ; his kind treatment of
the bar. his forbearance and patience ,
has endeared him to us as a kindsocial
gentleman ; his strict impartiality and
integrity in his rulings and decisions ,
his careful and painstaking way in his
rulings in the trial of all cases , and his
allowing to all litigants , high or low ,
rich or poor , a fair and impartial trial ,
has , beyond contradiction , proved him
to be a fair and honest judge and will
ever commend him * to us as a learned ,
honest and fair minded man.
RESOLVED , That we part witli Judg *
Kinkaid as our judge with sindere re
gret , and we assure him that wherever
tie goes , or in whatever business he
may engage , he will cany with him
our best wishes and our prayers for his
success and well being.
RESOLVED , That this preamble and
resolutions be spread upon the journal
of this court , and published in each of
the qotinty papers. '
15y order of the committee.
J. WESLEY TUCKEH.
F. M. WALCOTT.
Judge Kinkaid has been on the
bench in this district for the last twelve
j'ears , and his familiar countenance
will be sadly missed by old time attend
ants at court , but we believe it is a case
of Kismet. Judge Kinkaid has. < } uring
his occupancy of the bench , won the es
teem and confidence of our people to a
Gjreat degree , and we wish him bounti
ful success in anything he may under
take , except running for office. As a
man we admire him , as a judge we re
spect him , as a lawver we bow to his
learning , but as a politician we have no
u-e for him. Judge Kinkaid is dead.
Long live Judge Harrington !

These gentlemen were suspicious and
