DEATH OF SUPREME JUDGE C. V. BARDEEN.

 

Judge C. V. Bardeen who has been Justice of the Supreme Court for five or six years died at his home in Madison Friday last.  Judge Bardeen was an able lawyer and a careful Jurist, one who would undoubtedly have risen to eminence had he lived to the age allotted to many.  He formerly lived at Wausau and in 1893 when the celebrated Mead murder case, where the great trial progressed for a month, Judge Bardeen, then Judge in Marathon circuit was called in to sit as trial Judge in the case.  He was well liked for his many good qualities of mind and heart wherever he was known and would have succeeded himself on the bench had he lived as there was no opposition.
