burn, at present receiver of the United
States land Office at Bismarck, was
honored by q delegation of his friends
from the Mclean county metropolis
last evening Twenty-Five or thirty
of the leading citizens of Washburn
came down on last evenings train, and
shortly before g O'Clock last evening
they surrounded the Mclean county
pioneer at his residence in this city and
presented him with a massive leathern
rocking chair and davenport. The
presentation was made by States Attor-
ney McCulloch of Mclean county. The
articles with which Mr.. Satterlund was
presented were made to order, and are
models Of massiyeness and beauty. The
davenport has a silver plate inscribed
From the Citizens OF Mclean County
to King John" The presentation
was a complete surprise to Mr.. satter-
lund. who was much affected by these
tokens of esteem and regard.
The presentation was made, both in
token Of the esteem and admiration in
which king" John is held by the citi-
zens of Mclean county and in remem-
brance of the long and arduous service
he has rendered in behalf of the devel-
opment of Mclean county. For
twenty years he has been a worker for
the advancement of Mclean county and
Washburn. Originally a resident of
Burleigh county, Mr.. Satterlund carved
out another immense county to the
northward and set about to develop
and settle it with thrifty farmers. He
was one of the original promoters of
the toWnsite of Washburn and one of
the first builders in the metropolis OF
the upper Missouri slope. For twenty
years also he has worked to keep
Washburn to the front, and to obtain
railway connections with Bismarck.
He it was who interested General
Washburn in the land enterprise,
which resulted in the building Of the
Bismarck, Washburn & Great Falls
road, recently completed to Washburn.
This work has resulted in prosperity to
Mclean county and the upbuilding of
the city of Washburn and county Of
Mclean. Thousands of settlers have
taken land, and new enterprises have
been launched, until the growth of
Washburn in the past year has been
remarkable. Mr.. Satterlund has also
been one of the consistent advocates
OF the development of the Ignite coal
industry, and his work has done much
to bring that to the front. For all these
things the residents of Mclean county
esteem him, and it was in token of this
esteem that the presentation of last
evening was made
After the presentation, MT. and Mrs.
satterlund invited the guests to spend
the evening, which was celebrated with
true western informality and hospi-
tality. Tables were spread for twenty
five guests and twice were they spread
before all had been seated. Excellent
refreshments were served. music was
furnished and the, evening was a. highly
pleasant one for all. Beside the Nc
