Webster, formerly of Jacksonville, who before his re moval to Portland was circuit Judge of the first Judicial district, then comprising Jackson, Josephine, Lake 'and Klamath counties, and after wards county judge of .Multnomah, 'county and one of Portland's prom-; iinent lawyers, was . instantly killed Wednesday afternoon at G:3U o'clock ;when he fell from the fourth floor of Stile Columbia (gliding, Portland, to jthe bottom of the elevator shaft. He (was a member of the legal firm of. 'Emmons & Webster, which has of fices In this building. ' Mr. "Webster was leaving his oTrice to go to dinner when the accident oc curred. When the elevator stopped at the fourth flqor in response to his ring, the bottom or the cage was about two feet above the level of the floor,- according to a circumstantiul account to the police. Mr. Wobster took a false step, fell and rolled be tween the elevator and the floor. The cage, which was operated by J. C. Sumner, was descending to the floor level at the time. Mr. Webster was badly crushed before his body released itself and crashed lo the bot tom of the shaft. Mr. Webster was GO years old and a native of New York. He practiced law In southern Oregon and for four years was circuit judge In Jackson and Klamath counties, in 1 S 3 r. he icame to I ortland was a member of the firm of Carey, Idlcinan, Mays A: fWebstor. Two years later this firm dissolved and Mr. Webster and C. M Idleman continued in partnership for five years. For two terms, begin ning In 1902, he was county judge, resigning In 1910 and being succeed ed by Judge Cleoton. As a good roads advocato Mr. Web ster was very active. lie also took a great Interest in tho juvenile court, which was under his jurisdiction. He was a widower. He was well known In .Medford and a frequent visitor here. In Southern Oregon Judge Webster's experience ii southern Oregon rends like n ehiitc from far west romance. Married in opposition lo his wife's guardian': wish, her pnlrimonv wn turned over to him ami perhaps injudiciously in vested in railroad slocks. Tloth were highly talented and gifted with his-' trionie. powers. The troupe which, they iieaded failed to prove a finan cial success mi tl went broke in nutli ern California and tiie two young people in lSSIl drifted into Jackson ville where tile late C. C. llcckman nnd'Thos. G. Kennies interested theiri sclves in their welfare. Webster clerked in Hie store of Kennies Bros., and Mrs. Webster taught school for several terms. i Judge Webster possessed a mosl plcnsimr personally "Mil even as a boy displayed great oratorical ability. While studying law as a clerk, lie won the hearts of the pioneers by a most eloquent plea in the murder Irial known historically ns I he "Justus Cnse." This before admission to the bar. The famous Kellcy-Uiible min ing ease was (lien the engrossing legal niatlcr in southern Oregon, verging closely on a mining war, so intense was the interest, lion. J. K. Ilaiina presided on the circuit bench. More familiar than the supreii'e couri on mining law and custom, he hazarded an order which was Innlamoant to "reversing the supreme court." The sheriff, the late A. S. Jacobs, enforc ed the mandate ot the supreme court. while the precinct constable was call ed on to enforce liie order of Ihe cir cuit court. 1 5 ii t for the firmness of the sheriff, gun piny would have been resorted to. llaiimt Itcsigns I'rom Itcncli 1'ndcr the circumstances, it seemed advisable for Judge linna lo resign from the circuit bench, which he did is the Kellov-Iiuhlo case was not fi nally off the docket, none of the other attorneys of southern Oregon could see their way clear to accept the ii pointmeut. On petition ot warm friends of Judge Webster, floveruor Lord was induced to appoint him to the vacancy, nolwitli-tanding the fact that he had never had n case on Ihe civil docket of tin- court. It is official history that Weli-tcr made good on the ben -h, being re-elected for n six-year trim at the expiration of the term for which lie was ap pointed, lie then was a candidate against (leorge K.
