Laub, K. C., L.. L. D., is dead, and
Canada has lost a jurist of wide re-
putation and outstanding ability, a
lawyer who, for over half a century
bad practised his profession in the
Dominion,,. Death came late Saturday
night, as a result of a stroke of par-
alysis suffered about two weeks ago.
For several, days_ past he had been
sinking steadily and his death Was
not unexpected.
