Historical Old School House

There is considerable historical i'm
terest attached to the old Burlington
school house which is about to be re-
placed by an $4,000 modern brick
structure The old building has the
distinction of having been the first
school house, court house and church,
west of Devils Lake. Judge Francis
tried the first case in that building,
ever tried west of Devils Lake. This
was morethan25 years ago, when the
country was very sparsely settled.
Justice in those days, was melted out
for the entire western half of the
state, including what is now Ward,
Williams, Mckenzie, McHemry, Nc
Lean and several other counties. AS
the country was settled so very lit

mills of justice. The early SETTLERS
themselves found little need of this
building for a court house, for they
got along like brothers. In those
days they had to help each other and
they did it with willing hand. The

considered one of the most collasal
frauds ever disclosed.

was under arrest, were received here
late yesterday afternoon. While fed
eral officials have been scored for not
laying hands on this man, they have
been steadily at work. not 10 cease

little building that now is about to be
torn down or converted into a barn
or a granary, was the one place of
worship for many miles around. Here
the little band of God fearing peo-
pie would meet Sunday after Sunday,
and fer up prayer that the All-Wise
Ruler of Destiny might see fit to
make their lot a pleasant one on
what was then lonely frontier; to
keep them in health and lead them
in the paths that they should tread.
Those prayers offered up in that
little church must have been ans
wered.
1t seems too bad that tthe building lis
about to be converted to other uses.
Someone has fittingly suggested that
the building, be preserved for. histor-
ical purposes. 1t could be moved to
Minot or for that matter be left at
Burlington. As the years ROLL on, the
building will become more and more
cherished. Lets preserve this inter
esting old structure.
