law library with him, and has taken up
his permanent residence in Williamsport.

companied by his two sons, arrived in the

owned the land for a number of years and
has now determined to improve it and
either farm it or put a band of cattle

and he believes the air of North Dakota

The late Secretary Window was a lea
relation OF his, and through him Doug
las got his first pull. A long and re-
markably bitter fight between. Hans.
brough and Loren Fletcher results in a
victory for Hansbrough. North Dakota
positions for North Dakota people won
the day. An Indian leadership is some
times very profitable and sometimes not,
the business is almost entirely done on
a very long credit system, and is depend
ent to some extent on good payments to
Indians. There is now only one large
paying federal position left in the Indian
service held by a North Dakotan and a
democrat, viz: the inspectorship held
by Major Mclaughlin, and whose term
does not expire until next January.
There are a number of aspirants for
this position.
