FRKMn.VT, Noh., March
F.. F. Gray, doan of tho Ftpitkh I l-ir
r-nd onn of the oldost practitioners In
Nebraska, has dopartod for Sioux Falls,
P. T)., to make his home with his daugh
ter, Mrs. E. O. Jones. Mr. Cray mado the ..."H""-,"-.,

journey srron me rnminrni in an ox
art In 1R to California In search of
fold. The next year he did survrylnK
work In Oregon and Washington. Mudy
lnR law when he could find time. Ho
then went to Koine City, Idaho, and vim
admitted to the bar. Going to Lowiston
he was named district attorney of the
Third district, comprising a third of the
state. He drew the present criminal code
foe the state of Idaho. In 1S67 ho set out
to visit his parents, Mr. and Mrs. A. V.
Uray of Johnson county. Nebraska. His
father was serving: In the Nebraska leg
islature, then held In the eapltol at
Omaha. E. F. Gray was shortly after
ward Hppolnted district attorney, wii
lieaditunrtprs In Fremont, and that was
Iht beginning of his residence here In
Jhtit.
Sfrvrii Client Thlrt r-Tnree Venrn.
From that time to this Mr. Gray has
occupied a prominent j.Iace In his profes
ion. He has been regarded as the pos
sessor of one of the finest legal n tnd
In the state. He haa been known to say
tiist lawyers and JiulgcB might disagree
as to facts and Interpretation of law, but
the making of a clerical error or mistake)
!n practice was Inexcusable. He haa teen
attorney for thirty-three years for a local
bank, and this client declares that Mr.
Gray never had been mistaken In his ad
v Ice as to legal status or had made a
mistake In procedure. Falling voice and
advanced years, added to by the Impor
tunltlea of his daughters, Mrs,
Jones of
Ploux Falls and Mrs. V. A. Robertson
of Plnttsmouth, Neb., at last pprsuaded
him to retire, although he did It with
great reluctance. When he left here a
considerable delegation of the local bar
went to the station to say farewell. Hi
was accompanied by his son-in-law, At
torney W. A. Robertson of Plattsmouth.
When Mr. Gray was district attorney,
Ms district comprised the entire stute of
Nebraska, with the exception of Omaha,
He haa related in bar meetings several
Interesting experiences. Ills first case
was to prosecuto a man for cutting tim
ber. The easo was clear und a convic
tion seemed absolutely sure. Still the
verdict was "not guilty." Mr. Gray
later asked one of the Jurymen about it
and waa dumfounded by tho reply: Why,
everybody cute timber. "Every Juryman
In that case docs the same thing. The
only time a man Is prosecuted for It Is
when some one Is venting a spite."
Long Trip to Omaha
In taking the trip from Idaho to Omaha
Mr. Gray went by boat down the Colum
bia river to the coast, thence by ship to
Panama, crossed the ttshmua on the rail
road, sailed for New York and was able
to reach Omaha by rail. He was born In
Homesdale, Pa., January 30, 1837, arid Is
therefore Just Past his seventy-eighth
birthday. He waa city attorney of Fre
mcnt one -term beginning in 1901. It Is
Bald that never were the city ordinances
enforced with euch strictness as under
the Gray administration. His sudden de
tcimtnation to leave Fremont was a great
surprise to his wide circle of acquaint-1
ances, and especially the members of the !
bar, who hold him and hla abilities m the
highest esteem.
