JUDGE BUMP
LEAVES CITY
is APPOINTED ASSISTANT
ATTORNEY GENERAL
LEAVES ON MONDAY

Judge Franklin E. Bump, for eight
years presiding over the county court
of Marathon county, this afternoon
received the official notice Of his ap-
pointment by VIM. j. Morgan, attor-
ney general of the state, as an assist
ant attorney general of the state of
Wisconsin. Wausau and Marathon
county are naturally proud to learn of
the selection of such a prominent To-
cal attorney and judge for the post
but at the same time the whole com
munity will feel the loss of Judge
Bump keenly.
The appointment is made to fill the
vacancy created on the attorney gem
erals staff by the resignation of AS
sistant Attorney General Z. E. Bros
sard, who has accepted an appoint
ment as revisor of the statutes. Judge
Bump, in conversation with the edi-
tor of The Pilot this afternoon, said
that he would in all probability leave
| Immediately to assume his new duties
at Madison. The appointment will
take effect on Monday, May Sth.
Starts Practice
Judge Bump commenced his prac-
tice of law in this city in 1897 after
having completed thorough legal
training at the University of Michigan,
at Ann Arbor. Mich, where the law
school is ranked with the finest in the
United States. His academic educa-
ton previously had been an unusual
one, Judge Bump having studied at
both the University of Wisconsin and |
at Leland Stanford Junior university, |
obtaining his degree as a Bachelor of |
Arts at the latter institution His |
first association in Wausau was with |
Louis A. Pradt and the late Neal |
Brown. Later Judge Bump became
connected with the law firm in which,
besides himself, were his father, the
late E. l.. Bump and Judge Marchetti
When Judge Marchetti became munich
pal judge in 1904, Mr.. Bump continued |
to practice with his father until his
death in 1909 In 1909 the late H. H.
Manson became associated with the
judge and they remained in partner
ship until 1914, the year of Mr.. Man
sons demise. In the election of that
year Mr.. Bum pwas elected as county
judge and so efficiently and capably |
did he serve the people that he was |
elected for second term in 1920.
In City Offices
During his career in Wausau, Judge |
Bump was several times city attor-
ney, serving in that capacity in both |
1900 and 1901 and again in 1909, 1910
and 1911, and in 1906 and 1906 he was |
district attorney.
Actively interested in everything of
vital interest to the community, we
cannot but feel that his place will be
hard to fill. In educational, church
and fraternal circles Judge Bump is
looked upon as leader and all
his efforts have been such as to win
the highest esteem of all citizens. He
is at present president Of the Wau-
sau High School Parent-Teachers as
sociation, which under his leadership
has grown rapidly enrolling several
hundreds of persons. AS a member of
Forest Lodge, No. 1870. F. & A. M,
Wausau Chapter. No. 81, r. A. M. and
OF St Omer Commandery, No 10, X.
T., Judge Bump has rendered fine
services, acting at various times as
an officer in all three bodies.
At Madison, if Judge Bump as
sumes the pre- sent duties of Mr. Bros
sard, he will have for the most part
those cases coming to the state in
reference to matters of taxation.
And so, despite the fact that we feel
distinctly downcast about losing this
splendid citizen TO our community, The
Pilot desires to express its best wishes
for success to Judge Bump.
