From Dakota Some Time
Bismarck, N. D.-Governor Briggs
health is considerably improved since
his visit to l<irksville, Mo-, but the
weather was so bad that he could not
remain there. Late diagnosis of the
governors case is that he has no con-
sumption, but that he is in a chronic
condition Of pneumonia, and that only
a long residence in warm, dry climate
will benefit him. The governor ex-
poets to find such climate somewhere
in the vicinity Of Los Angeles, for
which place he left Bismarck Dec. Is.
The governor greatly regrets his en-
forced absence from the state, but he
feels that as no public business suffers
from his absence that he owes it to his
family to make every effort possible to
recover his health. Business requiring
executive action will be promptly and
carefully taken care Of.
