He was unconscious for so long a time that the physicians had but little hope of his re- covery. Portions of the skull and brain were re- moved. After many days he became conscious and returned to his home in Benton, where he was ap- parently fully recovered. Years afterward, while carrying a bag of grain up stairs, he accidentally hit the healed wound, again cracking the skull, as was found on examination after his death. Soon after the last injury he was seized with fits, which occurred with greater frequency until he died. His condition required the constant care of his wife, who was devoted to him. She was a, woman of remarkable energy and strength, and although he was a man weighing over two hundred pounds she · often lifted him from the floor or ground and placed him on a bed unaided. Her strength and care made the remainder of his life comfortable.

He has a thorough knowledge of the law and rules of practice, and a logical and practical way of handling a case that make him strong as an advocate and formidable as an opponent. His practice has been
large, and he has been connected with many of the most important causes adjudicated by the courts of the state in recent years.
