Good Words for ATTORNEY Tew.

IL always fequli Ulue W Dullu up
paying business in profession.
People naturally hesitate about in
trusting any important work to man
of whom they have no personal knowl
edge. But in this age the world moves
fast and it often becomes necess airy to
take the word Of others as to any pro-
fessional mans abilities or qualifca-
tions.
Martin e. lew has located in Will
mar for the practice of law and it is
quite natural that those who have need
of the services Of an attorney will be
interested in knowing what his init
mate friends and those who know him
best think of his character, his ability
and his qualifications. We feel sure
that the following extracts from letters
received by Mr.. lew shortly after To-
eating here, AMI which we have per-
mission to publish, will be of interest
to TRIBUNE readers.
The following is from a letter to
Martin E. lew from the president OF
the Minnesota University:
** s. II have an impression that Willmar is
not particularly good place for legal business,
but nasmuch as you have settled there I hope
l am mistaken in my Judgment. am sure you
will have whatever success sound legal knowl-
edge, personal integrity and faithful atten-
| ton to business can secure. l have known
you as a student and as u soldier, and l am
sure that whatever business may be intrusted
to you will be most faithfully and successfully
| attended to.
"YOu have my best wishes for your success,

| so great us to prove the wisdom of your loca.
! ton. and to satisfy your reasonable expecta,
| tons. Very truly your friend,

Thomas Canty, ex-jus,ice Of the SUI
preme court, said in a letter:

it, and any time can do anything for you let
me know. Yours,

Shortly after coming here Mr.. Tew
applied to the governors private

Lind, who was then governor, en-
closed the following note:
