Throughout ithe past four years, it may be said that’ the district attorney has not lost a single important action for the county and through the enormously increased busiess of the office, the district attorney has discharged his duties without monetary increase—not one cent of income beyond thalt set by state statute for the county. al The incumbent has been a cooperative unit in county activities for the]. past nine years, ever since he moved to this community from Berkeley where he was graduated. from ‘the University of California Law school. He is a member and director of the Grass, Valley Chamber of Commerce, director of the Lions Club and the Rod and Gun club. He is secretary of the Tahoe Livestock, Association and a director of the Twenttieth Agricultural District.

But ‘he did repay them, ‘ almost immediately He had performed every duty in life, and ‘gave a perfect demonstration of . the fact, that real manhood ie where you find it. The unself— ish. loyalty of his young man is a perfect example of the fangrant flowering of the purest and noblest sentiment of the hgart and mind.

When later she was dis« covered by a. small boy, her husband was summoned from work and started out with her im search of a doctor. He stopped at every way place that offered any hope of relief, but she died before he arrived in Nevada City. He took the body to Kansas and returned to hiis work on . the highway. All parties whom he contacted rendered him substantial assistance regardless of the fact he assured them it might be a long time if ever, that he would be able to’ pay them. But ‘he did repay them, ‘ almost immediately He had performed every duty in life, and ‘gave a perfect demonstration of . the fact, that real manhood ie where you find it. The unself— ish. loyalty of his young man is a perfect example of the fangrant flowering of the purest and noblest sentiment of the hgart and mind.
