The cattle slaughtered today are
from six dairy herds, and the cows left
in those herds are absolutely free

THE LATE JUDGE SEVERANCE.

trict, caused by the elevation of
Judge Dickinson to the supreme bench
of the state, on June %, 1881, Mr.
Severance, a democrat, was appointed
by Governor Pillsbury, republican
to fill out the uneXpired term of
Judge Dickinson. So well did the bar
and people of the district like him
that, although the district was over
whelmingly republican, he was elec-
ted to the same office for three sue
cessive terms. After his retirement
fro mthe bench he formed a brief
partnership with c. n Andrews,
esq, then of this city; but about
six years ago he retired from active
practice.
Mr.. Severance was married on June
is, 1858, to Elizabeth p. Van Horn
of Chicopee, Mass. They have had three
children, namely: Winthrop G. who
died at the age of thirty nine: Frank
g. at present engaged in railroad
business in the state of Nebraska:

His Fame as q Lawyer.
After the close of the war, Judge
Severance located at lie Sucur and
resumed the practice of the law. He
associated himself here with Francis Cod

district. He soon gained statewide
fame as an able and skillful trial
lawyer and forensic orator, and the
state was then especially rich in great
and brilliant men. In 1870 he came to
Mankato and was for one year as

Gentleman of the Old School.
Judge Severance was cultured
gentleman of the old school. Physi-
cally he was large and handsome
man. Intellectually he was a great
man. His fine presence and natural
dignity would attract attention in
any assemblage yof men, He was
careful and laborious student of the
law. possessed keen reasoning mind
and had deep sense of justice. In
the discharge of his judicial duties, he
was courteous, but firm and impartial
and exceedingly considerate toward the
Younger members of the bar who APP
reared before him. In giving instruc-
tions to iuries he was master. No
one who ever heard him will forget
him in this respect. dis impressive
manner and lucid way of stating the
law in a full voice, well-modulated
and under perfect control, was the
very perfection of this kind of Judi
cial utterances both in form and sub
stance.
Some one remarked on the occasion
of his funeral that if the random say
ings Judge Severance had thrown out
to the world could be collected to-
oether they would make volume of
delightful reading. That remark is
true. For he was a mature scholar
and deep thinker and gifted with a
piquant and original fancy. He thought
great thoughts and knew how to
clothe them in such beautiful Ian
guage as to make us marvel at the
workmanship and admire the genius
of the man. Lastly, he was stylist

Because he erred on the side of

confidence and responsiveness with
which they were delivered.
Judge Severance delighted in the
company of friends and was a roy
al host at his hospitable home, pre-
sided over by a worthy wife and a
charming daughter.
Though he travelled but little, few
men had as extensive an acquaintance
throughout the state as he. The name
of Severance sounded big wherever
heard. Its very ring was genuinely
sterling and bespoke a human worth
of the finest quality.
Notwithstanding that he had fine
record as a soldier and legislature,
he hated war and despised the mar
rowness of partisan politics. SO it was
but natural that he should be an ar
dent advocate of peace among ma
tions and of individual independence
among men. Being kindly disposed
toward all, his genial personality
radiated an influence akin to love. He
was a guileless man of undevious
ways.
Believed In Country.
No church goer was this man; and
with creed made doomas he had no
patience. But he believed in country
and in defence of country. in home
and the fireside virtues and in liv-
ing pure and upright life, and in
doing right by his fellow men. And
these were no mere professions with
him. he translated them into deeds.
