Dispatches from Medora indicate
that the Little Missouri metropolis
will retain the county seat of Billings
county. Under the new law passed at
the last legislature, the question of
county seat removal was permitted to
be taken up on petition of certain
number of citizens in those counties
where no court house had been erect.
ed. Billings county came within tho
provisions of this law. From an his.
torical standpoint at least, it would
seem that Medora was entitled to re-
tain the county seat unless the nature
OF settlement of the county was such
that it would have been hardship to
residents to retain it at that place.
Medora was the first town in Billings
county and was the scene of the bust
ness activities of the Marquis de
Mores back in the early SOS. At that
time it was typical western COW
town and the Marquis built there an
immense slaughtering plant and made
1t the western headquarters for his
dressed beef enterprises. While the
FORMER grandeur of the place has de.
parted to some extent and it is now a
sleepy and unpretentious little hamlet,
it would seem hardly in keeping with
historical traditions to deprive it of
what little grandeur it now has as the
county seat of Billings county. It is
likely, however, that if the settlement
continues to grow, the question of
county seat removal will hardly down
with this one election,

legal and has been sustained by the
