Bismarck daily tribune., 1903-12-18

Editor Tribune: There are in Bis
marck many old houses and parts OF
houses that recall interesting memoir
les of olden times to the pioneer.
Ont of these is the one-story kitchen
and washrooE attached to the rear of
tho Banner house, which formerly
stood on the front of the lot on Main
street. It was the first landOfiice in
Bismarck and was built by Col.
Robert Wilson. ex-partner Of Mai.
Dickey in the post-trader's store Of
Fort Lincoln, and was rented by him
to the government.
The landoffice was established in
the fall of 1874. with Col. E. NJ. Brown,
who has recently died, as receiver, and
his son, frank p Brown as clerk.
These conducted the Office business
for Capt. Peter Mantor who had been
appointed register, spent nearly all his
time at his home in Mantorville,
Mimi, and seldom came to Bismarck.
Capt. Mantor is now dead.
In January 1875 I, as postmaster of
the city Of Bismarck, appointed E. NJ.
Brown, jr, son of the receiver, my
deputy postmaster and for three
months the Bismarck postof!ice was
kept in the land office in the front
room. The family of the receiver for
a time living in the back room, house
room being then at premium.
1t was in this building that the
famous contest over the townsite OF
Bismarck was heard Strange to say
all the claimants, pre- emptors and
homesteaders were then living on city
lots. Joseph Pernel. the original pre-
emptor for the Lake Superior and
Puget Sound Company, was living on
the corner of Main and Second streets
where tie Baker block now stands,
where he kept a boarding house for
the men who were holding pre-emp-
ton claims for the Lake Superior and
Puget Sound Co. in the "Big Bottom"
south of Bismarck, and north and east
of the city.
Mark Tippie who claimed home
stead in the townsite, lived on the lots
on the northwest corner of Main and
