The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1917-01-25

May 16, 1871, at his home in Belcourt,
one mile north Of the village of Penn
bina, where his remains now rest. His
father was leader in the pioneer
days, a fighter and a mighty man
among men.
jolly Joe, while he never accumu-
lated much worldly goods, did earn
undying fame by his numerous ex-
ploits, and full-length portrait of
Rolette occupies a place Of honor in
the rooms of the Minnesota Historical
society at St. Paul, where tablet
tells how he ran away with the bill
that saved the capital. Even more
characteristic of the old courier of the
Pembina, are the ancient, worn snow
shoes which now occupy pedestal in
Curator Gilmore's office. The "rac-
quets" seem to have partaken some
what of the rugged qualities and the
free and wild character of their owner;
they appear to possess certain con-
seriousness of Importance.

HISTORIC SNOWSHOES RECALL
EXPLOIT BY JOE ROLETTE

Bismarck, Jan. 15.-"Jolly Joe" Rol-
lette, one of the most romantic char
acters the northwest has produced and
how he saved the capital of Minnesota
to st. Paul, are recalled by an ancient
pair of snowshoes which have been
brot into prominence by rearrange-
ment in the office of Curator M. R.
Gilmore of the state historical mu-
scum.
The shoes, of generous proportions,
evidently designed to carry a robust
man, are the very ones upon which
"Jolly Joe," then a member Of the
council" made his historic getaway
with the bill providing for the re-
moval of the capital of Minnesota
from St. Paul to St. Peter When the
time came to vote on the proposition,
st. Peter had a safe majority pledged
in its favor. But it did not have Rol
-lette; and Rolette had the original bill
safely in his possession, tracking away
into the northwest towards his native
wilds in Pembina. By the time Joe
and the bill were finally located, it was
too late for St. Peter to score, and to
the end of his days, St. Paul acknowl-
edged it's debt Of gratitude to the Penn
bina adventurer by rendering him the
freedom of the city whenever he hove
in sight.
And tradition has it that "Jolly Joe''
took the freedom Of the city literally
and made excellent use of it. In the
olden days when any undue commotion
was heard, the sanity citizens were
wont to remark: cts fire or Joe
Rolette's in town." When Joe swept
into St. Paul with his fine dog team in
full cry, and with Joe's lusty lungs
ringing forth the call Of the trail,
there never was any question in the
mind of anyone that Rolette was
among those present
In those days Pembina was part of
Minnesota, and Joe was first elected to
serve his district in the Council" in
1853. He was a veteran member in
1857, when the movement for the
transfer of the capital to St. Peter
came up.
This romantic figure in northwest
ern history was born at Prairie du
Chen on October %, 1920, and he died
