David E. Morgan aged 60, former
chief justice Of the supreme court Of
Month Dakota died Saturday after.
noon at $3.50 at Banning, Calf. III
health caused him to resign from the
bench only few months ago after he
had served continuously as Judge since
statehood, part Of the time being on
the district bench in the Second dis.
trict. and the rest of the time on the
supreme bench.
Judge Morgan had not been very &C.
tive during the past two OF three years
because Of his illness.
Immediately following his resignation
h" went to thu Pacific coas', being ac-
companied by his sister, Mrs. Lewis,
and it was from her last night that
word of the former chief JUSTICES de-
mise was received.
Throat trouble was the indirect
Cause of his death. For soma tine ne
hal suffered a great deal, and at one
time his condition became so serious
tina. he was unable to talk. From this
malady, however, he gradually re.
covered, resuming his work on the
tench last summer, though he spent
little of his time at Bismarck.
Recently information has been re.
ceived in the state to this effc.t that
he was failing, although it was not
supposed that the end was 80 near.
Story Of His Life.
The late chief justice was native
Of Ohio, being born near Pomery in
Meigs county Of that state. While
yet child he moved with his parents
to Sank county, Wis, where his early
years were spent on farm. His edu.
cation was acquired in the common

Of his life to judicial service in this
state and no member Of any court in
the state has rendered service more
satisfactory to the litigants and to the
public. His opinions have been marked
by clearness Of thought and expression
Of justice, and a command of pure Eng
lish not excelled by the opinions found
in the reports of any court. They win
stand as models for years to come. His
courtesy to members Of the bar is pro.
verbal. The r alton of all members
of the court with him have been most
amiable. His integrity and the consci-
entiousness of his convictions have
never been called in question either by
word or sign. Each member Of this
court felt and knows the serious loss
which is occasioned by the st,te by his
enforcd resignation and we trust that
relief from the arduous duties which
have involved upon him in this Office
capacity will result in speedy and
permanent restoration of his health,
which has been so long impaired.
The funeral Of the late Judge Nor
gan will be held next Sunday at his
old home at Spring Green, Wis, &C.
cording to message received in this
city by Andrew J. Stade from John
Margan, a brother residing at Spring
Green. Great preparations are being
made here, however, to pay tribute in
Devils Lake, Mayor McClory designat-
ing next Sunday as memorial day to
Judge Morgan, when the Masonic bod
les and Elks lodge of this city, of
which he was member, will unite
with citizens in memorial services to
which his many friends over the state
are invited.
Many expressions of regret over the

death of this beloved man were made
in Devils Lake today. Ex-senator An.
drew J. Stade said "Judge Morgan was
my closest personal friend and his
great good will always be cherished in
my memory. Only a week ago I re.
ceived a letter from him in his own
handwriting. He was looking forward
to returning home and had sent for
time tables.''
Mayor McClory said: IT met Judge
Morgan first in 1888 and that acquain-
lance ripened into the warmest friend
ship that has continued during the
thirty years since, and feel his loss
as a personal one. He was a man of
the highest honor and always had the
courage of his convictions. He hated
sham and pretense wherever encounter
ed. Nature endowed him with fine
legal mind and he had the rare gift to
discern the meat OF any question pre-
sented and do substantial justice. What
I have said only expresses the opinion
Of all the older citizens Of this district
who had the privilege of his acquain-
ance.
Attorney Silver Serumgard said:
Judge Morgan was as fair, accommo-
dating, courteous as any man who ever
occupied the bench. He had fewer
cases reversed than any man who ever
occupied the bench. Over seventy per
cent Of his decisions were sustained,
the next best average being 81 per
cent?
Attorney M. H. Brennan. Judge Nor
gan was industrious, kind, courteous,
and sympathetic, especially to young
practitioners, always conscientious Of
the requirements to do right"
