JUDGE DICKINSON ACCEPTS.

On Wednesday Judge Dickinson
formally accepted the appointment of
Associate Justice of the Supreme
Court rendered by Gov. Pillsbury
and to which appointment we last
week duly alluded. There were
surrounding circumstances that led
Judge Dickinson to hesitate about
accepting, but the appointment is
generally commended and Is accepted
with universal satisfaction through
out the State. His numerous friends
throughout the District naturally
regret the occasion that takes from
us SO popular and able II Judge, yet
all congratulate him upon his deserved
promotion. All who know Judge
Dickinson and are familiar with his
record as u Judge and his ability rs Il
lawyer, and his worth as a man. do
not think strange of the selection.
He is peculiarly fitted for such posi-.
ton and those who know him best
appreciate the more fully this fact.
Judge ID. A. Dickinson was born in
Hartford, Vermont, in 1889, and when
q lad moved Il few miles from his
native town into New Hampshire and
fitted for college ut Meridian, IN that
State. and in 1850 graduated from
Dartmouth College. After gradual
ing he removed to Pittsburgh. New
York, and studied law in the Office of
Smith VI. Weed, a gentleman who in
later years became distinguished in
his profession. He was admitted to
the bar in 1858, but soon thereafter
received the appointment of pay
master in the navy, which position
he resigned in the spring of 1885 and
returned To Plattsburgh and com
menced practice in the office with
Mr.. Weed. In 1865 he came to Min
neSota and settled in this city, and
soon thereafter entered into partner.
ship in practice with Hon. NJ. J.
Severance. In the fall of 1874 he
was nominated for Judge of this
District by the Republicans in con.
vention at Madelia, and at the
election following defeated his com
petitor, Hon. Daniel Buck, also of this
city.
Referring to the appointment the
Pioneer Press of Wednesday says that
Zone matter which had rather de
tanned his decision had been settled
namely. the cases brought by the
Southern Minnesota and the Southern
Minnesota Extension company against
the st. Paul 4 Sioux City. involving
the title to sundry ceded lands, and
which cases had been partially heard
before him. He feared if he accepted
the associate justiceship, all the testi
mony heard would 90 for naught and
would have to be repeated. An
arrangement has been entered into
by counsel, however, that the cases
shall still be brought before him as
referee, and be taken up at the point
where they were left off before"
