Judge Lewis J. Laws, a Nestor of the Colorado Bar, passed away
at his home, 1672 South Sherman Street, Tuesday after an illness

The death of Judge Laws resulted from a stroke of paralysis. He
is survived by his second wife and a young daughter, who live in
Denver, and three children by a first wife, who reside in the East.
Four brothers also survive. Two live in Colorado and two in California.

Urbana, Champaign County, Ill.  He moved later to another part of
the state, where he joined the Union Army in 1862, with which he
served throughout the rebellion. Judge laws lived thirty years in
Denver and previous to coming here practiced law in Colorado Springs
and Leadville. The funeral will be held tomorrow at 2 p.m., and will
