WARREN E. TUBBS.

WARREN E. TUBBS.
With the judicial history of Natrona county Warren E. Tubbs is closely associated, in that he is now filling the positions of city judge and police judge, having presided over the police court since 1903. In this connection he has made a most creditable and honorable record, administering justice with a fair and impartial hand. He was born in Pennsylvania, May 5, 1849, a son of Daniel J. and Elizabeth (Ellsworth) Tubbs, both of whom were natives of the Keystone state. They removed to Minnesota in 1853 and the father there engaged in contracting and building. He and his wife spent their remaining days in Minnesota and there reared their family, which numbered six children, all of whom survive. Judge Tubbs, whose name introduces this record, acquired his education in the common schools of Minnesota, to which state he went with his parents when a little lad of but, four years. In 1877 he removed to South Dakota, where he resided for twelve years, and during that period he served for two terms as sheriff of Brookings county. In 1889 he came to Wyoming, settling in Casper, where he has since made his home. He was elected sheriff of Natrona county in 1902, serving for one term as the successor of Sheriff Charles Ricker, who was murdered by Charles F. Woodard, who later expiated his crime at the hands of a mob. In 1903 Mr. Tubbs was elected police judge and has since served upon the bench, making a most creditable record by the fair and impartial manner in which he discharges his duties, his opinions being based upon a knowledge of the law and the equity in the case. With other public interests and concerns he has been closely connected and his aid and influence can always be counted upon to further any measure for the general good. He has been a member of the school board of Casper for more than twenty years and aided in the development of the schools, in the organization of the grades and the establishment of high school and college. He is indeed a stalwart champion of the cause of public education and has put forth most earnest and effective effort to provide the young with ample opportunity for that training which is a preparation for life's practical and responsible duties. In 1888 Judge Tubbs was united in marriage, in South Dakota, to Miss Clara E. Loomis, a native of Wisconsin. To them have been born eight children, as follows: Ward E., at home; Roland, who is deceased; Daniel J.; Wilbur T.; Ellsworth J.; Zora, who is the wife of Frank Perkins, of Denver, Colorado; Zada, who gave her hand in marriage to Claude Protsman, of Casper, Wyoming: and Benjamin, who has passed away. The family is prominent socially, the hospitality of the best homes being cordially extended to them. Politically Judge Tubbs has always been a stalwart republican and fraternally he is connected with Casper Lodge, No. 15, F. & A. M., in which he has filled some of the offices. He has also taken the chapter degrees in Masonry and is a faithful follower of the teachings of the craft. His has been an active and useful life, well spent in the service of the public and characterized by fidelity to the ties of home and of friendship. He has a wide acquaintance throughout this section of the state and is held in the highest esteem by all who know him.
