CARL H. COCHRAN.

	Carl H. Cochran, devoting his attention to an important and 
growing law practice in Denver, comes to the west from Illinois, his 
birth having occurred at Carmi, that state, on the 13th of January, 
1873, He is a son of Sanford and Marie (Dickens) Cochran. who were also 
natives of Illinois, where they resided for some years and then removed 
with their family to Iowa. where the father is still engaged in the 
practice of law, but his wife has now passed away.

	Carl H. Cochran began his education in the public schools of 
Carmi, Illinois, and afterward continued his studies in a preparatory 
school at Tabor, Iowa. He next entered the University of Indiana at 
Bloomington and completed a course there in the class of 1892, at which 
time the LL. B. degree was conferred upon him. He was then admitted to 
the bar at Omaha, where he practiced for two years in association with 
his father, the firm having offices in both Omaha. Nebraska, and 
Council Bluffs, Iowa. He thus received his initial training and 
experience under favorable conditions, but believing the west offered 
still better opportunities, he came to Denver in 1897 and has since 
engaged in the practice of his profession. Mr. Cochran continues in the 
general practice of law, having never concentrated his efforts and 
attention along a single line. He is well versed in various departments 
of jurisprudence and most carefully and thoroughly prepares his cases, 
while the strength of his argument is based upon a clear understanding 
of the facts and of the law applicable thereto.

	Mr. Cochran is a stalwart republican in his political views and 
has been very active in local ranks of the party. For twelve years he 
served as republican committeeman from the fifteenth ward. but though 
he works earnestly for the adoption of party principles and the success 
of party candidates, he does not seek nor desire official rewards for 
his party fealty. He is a Mason, belonging to Highlands Lodge, No. 86, 
A. F. & A. M.; to Denver Chapter, No. 39, R. A. M.; to Highland 
Commandery, No. 30, K. T.; and to El Jebel Temple of the Mystic Shrine. 
He is also a past grand of United Lodge. No. 4. I. O. O. F., and has 
membership in the Elks lodge. He turns to fishing and hunting for 
recreation and greatly enjoys those phases of outdoor life. For more 
than two decades he has been a member of the Denver bar and in this 
connection has made steady progress. working his way upward until his 
position is today a most creditable one in the ranks of the legal 
fraternity.
