JUDGE r QUITS.
South Dakotan Ends Long Term a.
Jurist on July 1.

South Dakotan Ends Long Term Al
Jurist on July I.
On the first of next month the term
Of Judge l.. e. Gaffy, who has served
twelve and one-half years as circuit
Judge Of the Sixth district, will end
and he will step down after many
years service to the state. His last
official trip is now being made in the
northern counties of his circuit. The
last day Of his term will be in Faulk
county, where he made his first ap-
pearance as Judge over twelve years
ago.
The popularity Of the judge is
shown by the fact that bar banquets
have been given him in every county
Of the circuit at the close of the last
term of court for that county.
Judge Loring E. Gaffy is a native of
Wisconsin, Fond du Lac being his
birthplace. Early in his practice OF
law he went to Nebraska, and from
that state to the Black Hills, in the
early boom days Of that section. In
1884 he located at Blunt, where he
remained for several years. going to
Pierre a few years later.
In January, 1894. following the
death Of Judge Bennett of the SUI
preme bench, Judge Fuller of the
Sixth district was appointed to fill the
vacancy, and the circuit judgeship
conferred on Loring E. Gaffy by Gov.
Sheldon.
Twice since that he has been elect
ed to the position, and On the first OF
next month, when he steps out OF the
Office, he will have closed twelve and
a half years service on the bench OF
the Sixth circuit.
During the time he has been in Of
ice he has had to deal with a number
of important cases, in which he has
been sustained in nearly every case
by the supreme court.
The cases against the different
state officers in the Taylor ~defalcation
and the troubles following the incom-
ing of the Populist administration
were all tried by him, and while his
sentence Of Taylor was modified by
the supreme court his decisions on
the other cases were sustained.
The supreme court sustained his de-
cision that a lumber lien will nc lie
as against a homestead, and he was
sustained in holding the law against
itinerant liquor peddlers TO be con-
stitutional and the case is now in the
United States supreme court.
Judge Gaffy has been a terror to
evildoers, and has sent several men
to the ~penitentiary for life, a third OF
such prisoners in the penitentiary at
the present time having heeD SEN
tonced by him.
He leaves the Dench carrying with
him the good will of practically all
the residents of the Big Sixth cir.
cult who have made his acquaintance
in the time he has served as their
judicial officer, and all wish him sue
cess in his future law practice, which
he will again take up.

Grand Forks, N. D., June 14.-About
10 o'clock last night fire started in
Sinclair & Smiths livery building in
