JUDGE LYONS.
Everywhere ill Alaska I lie news
will be received wilh grave re- I
gret that in a short lime .Judge
Thomas R. Lyons will cease to be
a United Stales district .judge.
It is doubtful if there has ever
been an occupant of the federal
-bench who in four short years
lias so completely won Ihc con
lidence of the people as has Judge !
Lyons. Everywhere in the terri j
lory, wherever by has’ tried a;
-ease, lie lias the reputation of
being o judge "sans fear and sails’
reproach.'’
Ilisext rai/rdinary success is due
in a veryU large measure to the
fact iTial his ability is greater
than that of the average judge
who obtains appointnicnl, for his
unusual excellence as a student
and a judge of law is conceded
universally by members of I be
bar. i
Bui, it lias been Jus painstak
ing endeavor to bring justice to j
bear at every liearin, bis evident j
and successful effort to secure a
fair and careful hearing in every
cause, the unbiased and impar
tial manner in which he has pt'e- i
sided at every trial since his ap-!
poinlmenl, which has endeared
him to the people of this com-j
munity.
So the passing of Judge Thom- j
as R. Lyons as the presiding otl'i- j
■cer of the United Slates district :
court in this division will be a|
matter of Very deep regret to the
people. Judges will come and
judges will go, but. Judge Lyons
rwill be remembered for those vir
tues which made him conspicu
ous as a jurist .--J imeau I >is- j

A Huston man writes: "If 1
