MORGAN.

The Fargo Forum pays tribute to
Judge Morgan, the republican nominee
for the supreme court, and by way Of
biography it says:
D. e. Morgan was born in Coldport,
now Pomeroy, in Meigs county, Ohio,
about fifty years ago. He moved with
his parents to Wisconsin in81S54, where
he resided until 1881, being admitted
to the bar in 1880. Leaving Wiscon-
sin he located III Grand Forks, where
he engaged In the practice Of his pro-
Aession, being associated with Arthur
and Rolla Moves. Arthur Noyes is
now q. S. district Judge of Alaska, and
recently passed through Devils Lake
en- route to his new field Of labor.
Rolla Moves is county attorney Of Bar
aboo, Wisconsin. In 1888 the judge
removed from Grand Forks to Devils
Lake and formed a partnership with
Hon. John r. MCGEE, now one of the
district judges Of Hennepin county,
Mimi. Judge Morgan held the Office
OF county attorney of Ramsey county,
North Dakota, for several years and
was always noted for his honesty and
reliability, his opinions on legal mat
tiers being sought for and considered
as the law upon the subjects embraced
therein. In 1889 he was nominated
by his party for the position of judge
Of the Second judicial district, and was
elected by a handsome majority, the
late James F. O'Brien being his oppon-
ent. The judge has held this posi-
ton aver since, having been repeatedly
elected without opposition as the peo-
pie OF his district recognized in him
the qualities requisite for the position
which he has so ably filled, and desired
to keep him there, and while we all
with n accord extend to him hearty
congratulations upon his elevation to
the highest judicial position In the gift
OF the people, his semi-annuaI visits 10

the number Of yards in the long side by

assuming AC, the longest side. to be

has been robbed Of her ready money.
It was doubtless in the other drawer"
"How came she by the key, then?"
