- The Scientific World Agitated About a Dakota Photographer’s Work. Special to the Globe. Jamestown, July 1. – Shortly after Mr. C. L. Judd, of this place, obtained two negatives of the small cyclone which passed to the northwest, June 6, he wrote an account of the same for an eastern journal of Photography, describing the photographs and the storm cloud, the appearance of which had been caught by the magic of his camera. The scientific world is now more than ever before engaged in the investigation of these phenomenas, and the information of Mr. Judd’s cyclone was not long in reaching their ears. A day of so ago he was in receipt of a letter from the proprietors of Scribner’s Magazine, offering to purchase the negative, or at least photographs from the same, to be used in an illustrated article in the August number of that monthly, the paper to be prepared by the professor of natural history at Harvard university. Full credit is to be given to the Dakota photographer. Mr. Judd has forwarded the negatives, and the public is awaiting with interest the publication of the cyclone article.

- Charles L. Judd. One of the best photographers in the West is C. L. Judd, of Fargo. There is nothing new in the art that he is not familiar with. He has the best instruments and the best material, and employs none but competent workmen. His retouchers and operators understand their business, and none but satisfactory work is allowed to leave the establishment. His portraits are remarkable for their clearness and for the character in them. As a view artist Mr. Judd does superior work. Considerable of the World’s Fair work for North Dakota was done by him, and many of the best illustrations in The Record are from photos made by him. (The Record, March 1897, Volume 2, Number 9)
