C. A. ZARING.
C. A. Zaring, who since 1910 has occupied the position of city attorney of Basin, was born February 7, 1870, in Washington county, Indiana. his parents being John A. and Margaret ( Mitchell) Zaring. He was educated in the public schools of his native county and afterward entered the State University of Indiana, from which he was graduated with the Bachelor of Arts degree in 1895. He then continued a student at Bloomington in order to prepare for the practice of law and won his LL. B. degree upon graduation in 1896. He did not at once enter upon the practice of law but accepted the position of assistant principal of the high school at Salem, Indiana, occupying that position in 1897 and 1898. The following year he entered upon law practice in Salem, there remaining in the active work of his profession for two years. In April, 1901, he arrived in Basin, Wyoming, where he has since engaged in general law practice and his ability has brought him prominently to the front in the ranks of the legal profession in the northwestern part of the state. Much of the success which has attended him in his professional career is due to his careful preparation, his naturally logical and inductive mind and the thoroughness with which he studies out the relation of incidents to principles of jurisprudence. He is now accorded a large law practice and has been connected with all the leading oil litigation for the past several years in the Big Horn basin, having had several cases in the federal court. His devotion to his clients’ interests is proverbial, and in addition to his practice he is a director of the Wyoming Life Insurance Company. The activities of C. A. Zaring have moreover extended into other fields. He is a well known Mason, being affiliated with the consistory, Knights Templar and Mystic Shrine. He is prominent in the ranks of the republican party in Wyoming and from 1910 until 1912 served as a member of the state central committee. In 1910 he also became chairman of the republican county central committee and occupied that position for four years. He has been county and prosecuting attorney of Bighorn county, filling the office from 1905 until 1909, and since 1910 he has been city attorney of Basin. In 1901 Mr. Zaring married Miss Nellie Miller, of Decatur, Illinois, a daughter of Joseph and Catherine Miller. To this union six children have been born, Dorothy, Arthur, Miller, Milton, James and Hortense, all yet at home. In no profession is there a career more open to talent than in that of the law and in no field of endeavor is there demanded a more careful preparation, a more thorough appreciation of the absolute ethics of life or of the underlying principles which form the basis of all human rights and privileges. Recognizing that progress must result from individual effort, Mr. Zaring has so directed his efforts and utilized his time that he stands today in the front rank among the leading lawyers of northwestern Wyoming.
