	T. B. LONG, one of the representative member of the bar of Brule 
county, is a native of Iowa, and secured his early educational 
discipline in the public schools of Mason City, Iowa, being graduated 
in the high school, and later he was for one year a student in the law 
department of the Iowa State University, at Iowa City, having 
previously prosecuted his technical reading under an able preceptor, 
and was admitted to the bar. In 1880 Judge Long came to what is now the 
state of South Dakota and located in Mitchell, where he was engaged in 
the practice of his profession about two years, while he also took up a 
pre-emption claim adjoining the town site of Mount Vernon, in the same 
county. Later he came to Brule county and took up his residence in 
Kimball, where he has ever since maintained his home and where he has 
gained prestige in his profession and distinguished precedence as a 
citizen. He is an uncompromising Republican in his political 
proclivities and was elected state's attorney of Brule county. He was 
also elected to the probate bench, and he acceptably administered the 
affairs of this important office for one term. Under the administration 
of President Harrison, Judge Long was appointed postmaster at Kimball, 
and held the office four years. Since retiring from office he has given 
his attention to the active work of his profession. Fraternally he is 
identified with the Masonic order and also the Knights of Pythias. 
Judge Long was united in marriage to Miss Minnie Egloff, and they have 
one child.
