Located as 1t is in the very centric

there are buyers here who deal largely

For the accommodation of the plant

]. A. VESSEL SHOULD
Be NAMED ON the BOARD
As a Member OF the Game and Fish
Commission His Choice Would
Be Popular.

There is considerable speculation
here as to who will be named by
Governor Johnson as member of
the board of State Game and Fish
commissioners to succeed c.. w.
Stanton, who will resign from the
board to assume the position of
judge of the Fifteenth judicial dis
trict.
There is strong sentiment in this
part of the state in favor of the ap-
pointment of Joseph A. Vessel of
St. Paul, who is we'll known and very
popular in northern Minnesota.
Mr.. Vessel is a member of the
firm of Vessel Bros, large manu-
facturers of confectionery in St.
Paul, and he has also extensive
interests throughout the northern
part of the state.
Mr.. Vessel is an enthusiastic
sportsman, and has always been a
firm believer in the protection of
the game and fish of the state.
It is earnestly hoped that Gov
ernor Johnson will appoint Mr.. Wes-
sci as Mr.. Stanton's successor. The
appointment will give great salts

WILL TENDER BANQUET
TO JUDGE N, A, SPOONER
Members of Bar Will Attend Farewell
Gathering in Honor of the
Retiring jurist.

The members of the Beltrami
County Bar association have decided
to tender banquet to Marshal A.
Spooner of this city, the retiring
associate judge of Fifteenth Judicial
district, on Wednesday evening,
April 1, at which time it is proposed
to demonstrate the high esteem in
which the judge is held by the prac-
ticing attorneys of the district.
The proposition of giving the
banquet was discussed at meet
ing of the bar association, when the
following committee was appointed
to arrange for the affair:
E. E. Mcdonald, D. H. Fisk and
F. A. Jackson of this city.
The arrangement committee has
engaged the spacious dining room
of the Markham hotel for banquet
ing room, and Landlord Lycan has
been given cart blanche in prepar-
ing the feast.
The committee has sent out invi-
tations to every attorney practicing
law in the Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict, and it is expected that there
will be large number of outside
members of the bar in attendance.
There is the most sincere regret
expressed on all sides among the
attorneys of the Fifteenth district at
the action taken by Judge Spooner
in sending his resignation to
Governor Johnson. When it was
first rumored that the Judge would
resign he was flooded with letters ex.
pressing the hope that the rumors of
his intended resi- gnation would prove
untrue, and adding regrets that he
had in mind such a move. These
letters undoubtedly retarded the
judge in making his announcement
of retirement; but he received so
fattering an offer to practice law in
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-03-28

The appointment of C. w. Stanton
of International Falls, as judge of the
Fifteenth Judicial district to sue
coed Marshall A. Spooner, resigned,
is received with general satisfaction
here, both among the members of
the bar of Beltrami county and the
public generally.
Since Judge Spooner rendered his
resignation to Governor Johnson,
there has been much controversy
and no little bitterness among local
attorneys as to which of two Bemidji
attorneys might have been recon-
mended for appointment as judge,
with the result that the attorneys
could not unanimously agree on any
Bemidji candidate. The naming of
Mr.. Stanton comes as a sort of &C
ceptable compromise to the warning
factions, and as the gentleman is in
every way qualified for the position,
it is generally conceded thatGovernor
Johnson acted wisely in naming Mr..
Stanton for the judgeship.
Mr.. Stanton has authorized the
statement that he will accept the
appointment, and further, that he
will at once move from International
Falls to Bemidji and make his
home in this city, it being con-
coded that this city is the only
really advantageous location for
the chambers of the judge, on
account of being the general Gen.
ter of the territory, not covered by
Judge McClenahan of Brainerd, the
senior judge of the district.
c. W.Stanton,the newly-appointed
Judge of the Fifteenth Judicial dis
trict, is native son" of the great
state of Minnesota, having been
born in Goodhue county in 1862,
and has made his home in the
North Star" state continuously.
Mr.. Stanton received a common
school education, and later attended
the University of Minnesota. After
leaving the University of Mime

T. j. Britt of St. Paul, special
agent for the Great Northern
railway company, spent today in
the city looking after some official
business. Mr.. Britt is always on
the still hunt" and beyond stating
that he was looking for some thieves
would give no particular account oil
his visit here.
Mr.. Britt is one of the oldest and
most trusted special agents in the
employ of the Great Northern com
pany and he has many friends in this
part of the state. '.>

sofa, Mr.. Stanton located at Apple
ton, Mimi, Gin 1889 and began the
practice of law, and he spent most
of his life at that place.
While he was practicing law at
Appleton, Mr.. Stanton was engaged
in much important litigation. One of
the most important matters in which
he took prominent part was that
in behalf of the settlers of Swift and
adjoining counties against Russell
Sage, which litigation involved the
! Hastings & Dakota railroad land
grant, and which resulted in restor-
ing some $4,000 acres of land to the
settlers. This case was carried
through all the state courts and
finally went to the United States
supreme court for adjudication. The
result of the case was great victory
for Mr.. Stanton.
In October, 1904, Mr.. Stanton
moved from Appleton to the present
town of International Falls which
was then called overwhelmingly
and he has made his home at that
place since then.
Mr.. Stanton was the prime mover
in organizing the new county of
Koochiching, and was very active
in carrying the organization through
a successful election whereby the
territory wanted for the county was
detached from Itasca county. Mr..
Stanton represented Koochiching
county's interests in the courts, and
he won out in every instance.
Mr.. Stanton has been county at
torney of Koochiching county since
its organization.
The newly-appointed Judge will,
in all probability, take his seat on
Wednesday, at which time Judge
Spooner has requested that he be re-
lieved. There is term of court in
progress here now, and Mr.. Stanton
will at once get into" judicial har-
ness, as there are still many cases to
dispose of, including several criminal
indictments.

with grand larceny in the first de

claimed the money in controvers
was taken, was the principal witness
in the case, Charles Knox, George
Denley and William Love, members
of the local police force, also testi.
flying on behalf of the state, after
which the state rested.
G. M. Torrance, of the attorneys
for the defendants, moved for dis.
missal of the case on the grounds
that the evidence produced by the
state did not connect the defendants
with the persons who were alleged
to have entered the room and com
mitted the crime of larceny, or. in
any way shows that the money was
in their possession. The motion
was denied. ..t-. -.

ants, testified in his own behalf, and

The grand jury also presented a
resolution relative to the retirement
OF Judge M. A. Spooner, which
was also filed and which was as fol-

We, the grand jury; respectfully
submit that we sincerely regret that
Judge M. A. Spooner has decided
to resign from the bench.
In his departure we realize that
we lose a most manly man and
efficient, able, faithful, fair and i'm

Our fondness for his many splen-
did qualities as citizen, neighbor,
companion and judge will endure
into legend, which will be outlived
only by the splendor of his public
record.
Though keenly we realize our
own and the districts loss, we hope
that the call from the west, to which
our friend responds by leaving US,
will truly prove way to favor and

thither will be paved with pleasure.

When the grand jury had filed its
final report Judge Spooner spoke to
them briefly concerning their duties
as grand jurors and their work at
this term of court. He thanked the
jurors for their careful and conscien.
tious labors as members of the grand
jury and unhesitatingly pronounced
the grand jury at this term of court
as being the very best in the history
OF his five years on the bench of the
Fifteenth Judicial district.
With husky voice Judge Spooner
thanked the jurors for their kind
words concerning his labors as Judge,
and said that although he would in
the f uture be far removed from
Bemidji and Beltrami county, he
would always remember their ex-
pressions of regret.
The judge extolled the present
grand jury system and stated that
he was unqualifedly in favor of con-
tinuing the grand juries. They were
as old as law itself and were an
essential part of law enforcement.
The Judge commended the jury in
their display of excellent judgment
in handling the many different prob
lens which have been up for their
consideration at this term of court.
The judge closed his remarks with
a fine eulogy on the grand jury sys-
tenn in general.
