He was studious as a youth, and it is said that his legal studies wero completed while he was engaged in driving a freight wagon bc-tu" bc-tu" eeu Utah points and mining camps in Nevada. He had the spirit of determination deter-mination while a boy, and he climbed to the top of his profession while yet comparatively young. Justice McCarty was intensely patriotic and two of his sons are now' in tho service of their country. He was a just judge, a sterling ster-ling citizen, a devoted husband and a lovin father. He will be sorely missed by his colleagues upon the bench and sincerely mourned by all who know him.
