Look and Act.

John e. Garland, Bismarck, was among
the hotel arrivals Yesterday. He has re-
Gently been appointed United States district
attorney for the territory and has just CON-
pleted his first prosecution for murder
committed on an Indian reserv alton, which
prosecution resulted in verdict of guilty
for the accused murderer. Mr.. Garland
has been resident of Dakota for the past
ten years. during which time he resided at
Bismarck, practicing his chosen profession.
He is considered one Of the best takers in
the territory and is equally effective at court
OF on the stump. He is rock-rooted Dem
ocrat and is leading member OF that party
in the territory.

Mr.. Garland is native of Michigan, hay
ing been born in Detroit thirty odd years
ago. His father is an officer in the regular
army, and for many years was stationed at
Fort Wayne, just out of Detroit. Having
completed his education he began the study
of law, and attended one term at the Michi-
gan University law school at Ann Arbor,
and completed his studies in an Office in
Detroit. Shortly thereafter he started for
the Northwest, and located in DakOta's
capital city. He worked up large law
practice in short time, and is now con-
sldered rising man OF the territory.
Judson La Moure, Pembina was another
Dakota arriver. He is one of the charac-
tiers of the territory, and no inspection of
the great Dakota is complete until Pembi-
mas early settler is met and comprehended.
He is very tall, and has beardless, dried
up face that might belong to mah of 80
or so. Early in 1860 Dakota and he first
met each other. At that time La Moure
was engaged in freighting, and Dakota was
largely given up to the Indians. He To-
Gated in YanktOn, which claimed three log
houses. After remaining there a short time
he moved to the north and settled perma-
nently in Pembina.
So
He has witnessed the growth of the terri
tory and has seen towns spring up through
out its broad domain, until at the present
time scores of thousands of residents claim
the territory as their homes. Mr.. La Moure
is one of the most active Republicans in the
territory and has hand in nearly every
scheme that has been worked up there for
many and many year. At the present
time he is Scheming to get the contract for
the construction of new railroad into Bis
marck that, it is said, will be run at no
distant date by the Chicago, Milwaukee d
st. Paul company.
