Was born at Bethany, Wayne county
Penn, 1854. Educated in common
schools and other institutions and by dint
OF close study and perseverance, made
good progress. Read law with Tiff
Ward, of Scranton, and admitted to bar
in 1858, when twenty-four years Oil.
Formed partnership with his old tutor
and practiced in Scranton for four
years. Married Miss Alena F. Baker,
daughter of Rev. Elnathan Baker. I'M
1858, who died in the spring of 1862.
Came to LIE Sueur, Mimi, where he ar
rived in time to serve his state briefly
and glOriously at the time of the New
Ulm massacre. He was there during
the whole affair. He practiced law in
LIE Sueur until 1882, when he came to
Grand Forks, having for twelve or four
teen years served with credit as prose-
cutting attorney of LIE Sueur county,
during which time he signalized himself
by vigorous measures in eXterminating
the worst gang of horse thieves that ever
after his location here with his interest
ing family in 1882, he at once took lead
ing rank at the bar and has maintained
his hold and popularity TO this day, be-
ing now senior member of the firm of
Bangs d Bangs, the junior being Tracy
r., his oldest son. He was county at
torney for Grand Forks in 1888, and is
now president of the city council and
chairman of the Democratic territorial
central committee, position which
was accorded him at the Aberdeen con-
yention as a token of appreciation for
the witty and appropriate speeches he
there made in the interest of harmony
1t was largely due to his able leadership
in the North last fall that SO heavy a
vote was polled for Hon. M. FL.
Day, and if rewarded with good office,
requiring tact and ability, it will be due
to merit as well as excellent service.

THE WEEK IN FARGO.
Dizziness Caused by the Absence of
the Municipal Head-A Full
LITTER of Blind Pigs.

FARGO, March 16.-AS the mayor has
been absent this week looking after the
shipment of condolences and material
relief to Roscoe Conkling and the other
sufferers by Eastern billiards., the town
has been remarkably quiet. Even the
pointed and plingent newspaper con-
trogersy between Chief of Police Wood
and Mother Hutch has afforded little
relief. The acting mayor this week has
been MOorhead wholesale and retail
liquor dealer, who has no leniency for
the eleven blind pigs that are keeping
SO many from taking their small change
over the river. The anti-saloon league
seem to think its work is about done
when the saloons are closed. Two
or three years ago there was a
social club that didn't stop at 5
cent ante, that required eighty keys to
supply its members. There are blind
pig clubs now that might use more than
eighty keys. Jealousy of the rising and
glowing fame of Judge Guptill has
caused complete reconstruction of the
Republican club by those WHO ''know
not Joseph in the fellowship of ambi-
ton. Twas ever thusly. Mai. Fleming
has been appointed Mort Dakota agent
for the 800" route, and proposes to
make that the great outlet for the hard
wheat belt This section looks with
some apprehension to the. opening of
the Sioux reservation, lest it will divert
the immigration this season to that sec
ton; but there is acQuiescence, as
there is to local option and billiards.

He Absorbs the Taffy of the Ex-
Governor and Puts Up His
Lightning Rod for Congress.
Special to the GLOBE.
Sioux FALLS, March 16.-It is safe to
say that the political sensation of the
week has been the article of ex-Gov.
Pierce, bringing out ex-Audltor E. w.
Caldwell as candidate for delegate,
and the surprising manner in which the
modest ..CaI" greeted the profound
honor. The scheme is looked upon in
different lights here. Some think that
the ex-governor is playing little joke
on the ex-member of his ex-cabinet-or
with malicious irony is trying to laugh
him out of the campaign before it has
begun. Others take the letter in good
faith. Among the latter class is CaId-
well himself, who ardently thanks his
friend for the honor he has seen
fit to bestow, and who agrees to
take the nomination if it shall
be accompanied by sworn certificate
to the effect that he shall not be COM
PEELED to work for the nomination; that
his election shall be guaranteed, and
that all bills shall be paid in advance by
the party. Cal modestiy admits that he
has felt under his vest some slight itch
ing for official preferment, and almost
admits that he knows himself to be COM
petent to fill the place. The fact is, Mr..
Caldwell takes the words of the eX-
governor-every letter-in good faith,
and is now holding up the lightning rod
of expectancy, ready and willing at any
time to be struck.
There is serious doubt, however,
L, IL bn 70 inf. tba
convention with the support of his own
county or not. Personally, Cardwell is
one of the most popular men here, but
the mercury of his
POLITICAL THERMOMETER
is rather falling. His failure to bring
the railroads to time while auditor lost
him friends, and his uncalled for and
impOlitic opposition to his successor
when he tried to do so, has lost him
hosts of friends-especially among the
his anxiety for office-and his
willingness to accept it from
the hauds of party to which
he was opposed-his servile treatment
of that administration as long as he
stood at the public crib, and his treat
ment of it since has cost him the friend
ship of many of those who might be
termed leaders in the Republican party.
Republicans regard him as traitor,and
Democrats as an intruder. The united
opposition of these classes would be al
most sure to down him in this county
and to break his back and hamstring his
legs before he went into the convention.
Senator Grigsley stands free from all
these entangling alliances and will
carry the Minnehaha delegation off on
his shoulder.

A POINT FOR WHOLESALERS.
Court Holds That Attachments
Will Hold Without Paying Off


Mortgages.
Special to the Globe.
W ATERTowN. OAK, March 16.-The
Hon. James Spencer, judge of this dis
trict. recently rendered decision IN a
case brought in his court, which, while
it gives general satisfaction, has been
the innocent cause of no small amount
of comment in legal and business cir
cles. The case referred to was that of
the Jas. NJ. Hayes Wooden company, of
St. Louis. Mo-. against the late firm OF
Doty Il Dean, of this city. The defend
ants formed copartnership i'll May
last for the purpose OF doing a merchant
tailoring business in connection with
gents furnishing goods. They seemed
to be doing large business, so large
that when the opera-house block
was finished they secured more
commOdious quarters III the
new building and sailed along
very pleasantly and smoothly so far as
was known here. When it came time
to stock ND for the fall and winter trade
they had worked up quite good line of
credit, and this was made use of by the
senior member of the firm going to Chi
cago and st. Louis and making large
purchases. and in the latter place the
firm of Doty IL Dean became creditors
to the plaintiffs in this action for more
than $500. 1t was shown in the trial
that the firm of Doty d Dean were not
successful in applying the proceeds OF
the business to the
PAYMENT OF THEIR DEBTS,
and on the 10th of November last gave
a mortgage on their entire stock of goods
and the increase of the same, to one Mrs.
Fuller, Doty's mother, to secure note
maturing in this present month of
March for s1,614. The mortgage was
duly recorded on Nov. 2, and the
firm of Doty q Dean continued in bust
ness in the usual way until Saturday
evening, Nov. IL, and early Monday
morning. Nov. IA. Mrs. Fuller, through
her attorneys, Eddy and Seward, took
possession and proceeded to foreclose.
On Monday, the 21st of November, the
above referred to, by their attorneys,
Nicholson. Naper and Glass, of this
city, brought suit and attached the
goods. on the ground that Doty & Dean
had disposed of their property to de-
fraud their creditors, and also that
Doty, one of the defendants, had alb
seconded from the territory. On motion
of defendants attorneys to dissolve
this and other attachments ON the
ground that they were improvidently
brought. Judge Spencer denied
the motion, thereby sustain
ing the attachments. The pre-
vailing opinion seems to have been
among lawyers, and especially in this
and similar cases, that creditors could
not attach without first paying off the
mortgage. and it had been SO held by
some of the district judges, but our SUI
preme court has held that this is not
necessary in order to attach. This is of
great importance to wholesale mer-
chants abroad, as any merchant of easy
OF elastic integrity, after having gained
credit and confidence, could put his
whole stock out of his hands by making
a fraudulent mortgage and making it in
proportion to his stock. Hence this de-
cision is alike important and interest
ing to honest dealers at home and the
wholesale trade abroad.
