"A. d. PERKINS APPOINTED JUDGE.
Word came OH Saturday last that the
Governor had appointed 1oa. A. D.
Perkins of Window, judge for the new
18th Judicial District Our preference,
naturally enough, was a home man,
but the mantle of Judge Severance has
fallen upon the shoulders of an able
and fair minded attorney and we have
no doubt he will give satisfaction to
the lawyers and the people of the dis
trict.
The Window Reporter thus speaks
of the new Judge:
The division of the old 9th district
has brought to the front Hon. n. d.
Perkins as 4 candidate for the judge.
ship Of the new 18th District, and the
people of Cottonwood have signilied
desire to Gov Hubbard for his appoint
ment, without division Of sentiment,
which is gratifying to his friends rs an
evidence Ot the esteem of his neighbors
who have known him intimately for
years. For nearly twenty years he has
been in active and uninterrupted prac-
tice, and since the spring OF 1872 has
practiced continuously in the courts of
Jackson, Murray and Cottonwood
largely, attending nearly every term Of
court in each during that time. For
eleven years he has been county attor-
ney and been engaged in many impor.
tant cases for the county and state,
among which were tax cases against
the w. s.. st. z. II. r., involving large
sums, which he prosecuted to a success

has been very successful. and won a
high rank before the judges and among
the bar, not only rs AL attorney, but rs

judgment. During our late term Of
court lie was engaged III nearly every
case on the calendar. and successful in
each. At the Supreme Court he has
equally successful. AS state senator
for four years he was 4 member Ot the
judiciary cOmmitte, and stood abreast
with his peers, and was il member of
the Cox impeachment court. SO it will be
seen that Mr.. Perkins has had not only

The Luverne Herald says:
The people Of Luverne will be glad to
learn that Hon. A. NJ. Crosby has de.
ci,lcd to move to I4uverne and will be-
gin his residence here about the 24tl

valuable acquisition to Luverne.
Tie Pipestone Star says:
Among the hardest workers in the
legislature just closed were Hon. W. b!
Brown, of this county, and Hon. a..
house Mr.. Brown was the acknowledged
though this was his first term, he wields
An influence second to no other mem
Der. He was always at his post of duty,
whether on committees or in session,
and his clear head and cool judgment
on all matters for the benefit of the
people went 4 long way in preventing a
great deal of pernicious legislation. and
his vote was always found recorded
against anything having the appear
ance of 4 job to waste the people 's
money. In the railroad, grain and
warehouse bills Mr.. Browns influence
was felt on the side of the people, and
on the license question-notwithsta
ing it was failure-he was always
found battling on the temperance side.
AZ stood Mr.. Brown in the lower house
for honesty and uprightness, so stood
Mr.. Crosby in the Senate. He had
large influence and knew how to WELD
it, and his bill for dividing this judicial
district, one of the finest and most
beneficial pieces of legislation of the
session, although fought desperately by
many of the older heads, was carried
through triumphantly by Mr.. Crosby,
and he is deserving the credit he re.
ceived. We feel proud of our able and
faithful representatives and the record
they have made.
