However, the Indians were at last
outgeneraled by the white men. The

the ways of the American railroad
builders. Lamro was promoted
while the railroad was still 20
miles away. but headed in that direc-
ton. In fact. the survey ran through
the spot upon which the Indians built
the town. But the railroad made a
detour just great enough to put Lam

men built the town of Winner on the
road and only three miles from the In
dian town. In the meantime Lamro
had grown rapidly and was town

the matter before the voters at the

True to its name. Winner won out by
a small vote, and the very next day
arrangements were begun for the
house moving.

several hundred houses, was put
on wheels the other day and moved
over to Winner. where, as the
result of a bitter county seat war and
agreement between the two towns, 1t
was consolidated with Winner and as
town ceased wholly to exist. Store
buildings, with their valuable contents,
were moved intact. Banks, with their
cash in the vaults, were put on wheels
and made the trip across the prairie.
Without disturbing the officials, the
county court house was hitched to two
of the largest traction engines ever
built and was hauled from Lamro over
to Winner. where 1t was placed on a
foundation previously prepared for it.
The Lamro hotel, drawn by 72 teams
