with entries in the Indiana state fair objected to the judge named for the event. They demanded that Mr. Webb serve as judge, despite the fact that he had a number of his own sheep entered. He accepted and. although he awarded a few blue ribbons to his own sheep, there was not a single objection from competing breeders. Mr. Webb, with a member of the Ohio general assembly, was the first importer of Rambouillet sheep from France to the United States. He was one of the organizers of the National Rambouillet Breeders’ Association forty-five years ago. One of his last sales of sheep was to the emperor of Japan. He had been awarded scores of blue ribbons and cups for his sheep entries at expositions. In his youth, Mr. Webb spent several years working on sheep ranches. He always made Marion county his home, however, and was Dorn on the farm where he made his home. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Frances V. Webb, and a son, John Bright Webb, member of the Indiana house of representatives. Hold Grocer on Gaming Charge James Alfred Canady, Negro, owner of a grocery at 1618 Mill
