Many of the friends Of Judge Clay
Carpenter will be glad to learn that
he has established a law Office in this
city and will become a resident OF
Watertown, where he lived for so
many years, having spent his boy
hood here. After graduating from the
law department of the state univer-
sity of Minnesota, Mr.. Carpenter en-
gagged in the practice of law at Sisse-
ton. A few years thereafter the gov
ernor of the state appointed him to
preside over the circuit court in the
district embracing the northwestern
part Of the state. Filling the Office
two and a half years, Judge Carpen-=
rendered his resignation and asked
to be relieved, having reached the
conclusion that he could not afford,
from a financial standpoint, to con-
tinue to serve on the bench-a posi-
ton which, to do it justice, required
his whole time, preventing him from
giving attention to his private bust
ness affairs. For the past two years
he has been practicing at Mobridge,
but determined to locate again in the
best town in the state. For the pres
ent the family is occupying the B. p.
Moe cottage at the lake. but the
Judge has leased a house in the east
ern portion Of the city-the dwelling
built by H. D. Rice. The Office will.
be on the second floor Of the Hee-
! gard block.
