MORRIS BAR.
A Strong Array of Shining
Legal Lights.
The Best Equipped FAssocia-
ton in the West.

It is generally conceded that the
strongest bar in the northwestern part
of the state is at Morris. The Judge
of the sixteenth judicial district Hon.
C..L. Brown residing atMorris, makes
! it practically headquarters for the law
business of this district.
Among attorneys practicing at this
bar we may mention VIM. G, Bicknell,
Esq, who is one of the old members
in practice at this bar having been in
active practice for the past ten or
twelve years, he is now district attor-
ney for the second term,
Geo. p. Darling is also one of the
older practitioners at this bar having
been here a number of years, has oc-
cupied the position of Probate Judge
for the last twelve years here, he has
also been city attorney for several
years and enjoys lucrative practice.
Fred 3. Smith recently admitted
to the bar has put out his shingIs
and is building up quite practice
for a young member of the bar, and
is at present city attorney,
R. H. Grace and H. G. Berry are
young members of the bar and have
been in practice at this bar for two
years and are quite busy in their
profession.
Spooner & Shelley probably enjoy
the largest practice of any firm in the
northwest, and have the best equipped
and commodious law offices west Of
the twin cities. The senior member
of the firm, Lewis G. Spooner, former
ly practiced law at this bar for several
years, and for about ten years was
chief counsellor for the Plano & Deer
ing Harvester companies of Chicago,
returned to Morris about a year ago
and resumed business here, His
large acquaintance and prestige as a 8
lawyer brought back his old clients
and many new ones.
Marshall A. Spooner one of the
members of this firm has enjoyed
very extensive practice for the last
ten or fifteen years, and spends his
time between his practice at Mime
apolis and this bar.
Charles L. Shelley became asso-
ciated with this firm about year
ago and has given large share of his
time to real estate litigation. This
firm practices in all courts of the
state and before u. S. Land Office
and in the federal and supreme courts
Of the u. S., the members of this firm
nave all been in active practice for
twenty years and have achieved
at the bar.
Morris may feel justly proud of its
oar and the TRIBUNE takes pleasure
n recommending the Morris bar as
being worthy of the patronage of the
public, and possessing the requisite
ability to handle all litigation that
may come before the state as ably
and well as can be done by any bar
