LAWYERS PAY TRIBUTE
TO JUDGE A. C. SPENCER
Attorneys Take Advantage of Opportunity to Tell
Coiirt What They Think of Him
Judge A. C. Spencer, who recently
resigned from tha bench in the 13th
judicial district, composed of Yellow
stone, Big Horn and Carbon counties
and who will leave next week for Cal
ifornia to reside, was on Saturday
night the guest at banquet tendered
in his honor by members of the Yel
lowstone County Bar association and
attended not only by lawyers from
the three counties named, but from
others as far distant as Missoula
and Lewis and Clark. The banquet
was given at the Northern hotel tea
room.
The two principal addresses of the
evening were those of former Sena
tor H. L. Myers, who for the bar as
sociation expressed the regret of the
lawyers of the district that Judge
Spencer is leaving the bench and wish
ing him unbounded success and pros
perity, and the reply of Judge Spen
cer. The closing feature of the occa
sion was the presentation to Judge
Spencer by Col. O. F. Goddard, who
presided as toastmaster, of a travel
ing bag.
Those who spoke during the course
of the evening in addition to Senator
Myers and Judge Spencer, were Dan
Maddox of Hardin, Judge Charles Tay
lor of Billings, former Congressman
Washington J. McCormick of M>,,ou
la, Mrs. Emily Sloan of Red Lodge,
and Hugh Carter of Helena. Tele
grams of regret at their inability to
attend were read from Judge Robert
Stong who is in Red Lodge, C. C. Row
an of Red Lodge and Don Campbell.
Adopt Resolution of Regret
A resolution presented by the re
solutions committee qt the bar assoc
iation regretting the departure at
Judge Spencer, wishing him success
in his new surroundings and commend
ing him to the confidence of Los
Angeles, was adopted by unanimous
vote. The members of the committee
who signed it, were Edmund Nichols,
Rockwood Brown, and W. M. John
ston.
Judge Spencer, in taking a formal
j farewell of the men with whom he
j has been associated for many years
'past, both as a practicing lawyer and
for the last nne years as a jurist, ex
pressed his appreciation of what he
termed was the honor bestowed upon
him by the gathering. He voiced sur

my
Senator Meyers, the first speaker,
paid a sincere and graceful tribute to
the judicial career of Judge Spencer,
well mixed with humorous allusions
to the situation in which the judge
now found himself, one in which a
lawyer could unhesitatingly express
his real opinion of a judge without
danger of being held for contempt of
'It isn't often," said Senator
court.
Myers, "that members of the bar got
a chance to tell a judge what they
really think of him, although they of
ten crave the opportunity."
Pays Tribute to Fairness
He pointed to Judge Spencer as a
jurist of ability, of fairness, of im
partiality, fearlessness and honesty.
"What higher tribute," said he, "can
a lawyer give a judge? What else is
necessary to make a successful judge.
One who possesses thsee qualities is
certainly an ornament to the bench.
"It is not pleasing for a lawyer to
lose a case, so that a Judge cannot
please everyone. But he can by ren
dering his decision and rulings in a
fair and impartial manner, satisfy
every one and Judge Spencer is the
kind of a judge who has done that.
-1 Th( , „ who have appearod bê
fore him have always felt that he
has ruled honesty and impartially and
to the best of his ability."
Senator Myers referred to the work
of a judge "s of the most responsible
in the world. "There is nothing nob
1er or finer of a material nature," he
said, "than the administration of jus
tice from the bench, end when a judge
can feel thaâ he has the friendship
and confidence of the lawyers who »re
appearing in his court, and Judge
Spencer has always had it, it aids him
in the discharge of his dûtes."
Native Son ff Montana
The senator referred to Judge
Spencer as a native son of Montana,
one who had been born, reared and
educated in the state and for which
reason among others the people here

are P r oud of his work on the bench.,

POWELL COMPANY

Director Wakefield of the Powell
Motor Company In Red Lodge, This
Week. States Company Progressing
L. Wakefield of Forsyth, for the
past si* years director and treasurer
of the Powell Power Company is a
business visitor in Red Lodge this
week in the interests of the Powell
Company. While here Mr. Wakefield
demonstrated a model of the Powell
mechanism to mechanics and engine
ers at the local mines, who were out
spoken in seeing the advantage the
Powell invention.
The Powell Company's four cylinder
truck engine, according to Mr. Wake
field has been tested by the oldest
auto school in the United States and
also by the Clay Engine Works, both
of which concerns spoke very favor
ably of it.
Mr. Wakefield recently attended a
special meeting of the board of di
rectors and saw a copy of two royally
contracts with companies who agreed
to build and sell engines and pay the
company a 1 21-2 per cent royalty.
The prospect for the early product
tien of the truck engines relieves the
company of the necessity of sellmg

company's patents have been granted
