The Bottineau courant. (Bottineau, Bottineau County, N.D.) 1895-1929, 1919-11-20

The Westhope Standard of a few weeks back made the
statement that it would not be necessary for the legis-
lature to meet in extra session as Townley and Mills
made all the laws anyhow. Now it appears that brakes
own town has a Townley on their city council in the
person of W. +. Lackey, who of his own free will guar
anteed a certain bill in an amount Of some over one hun
bred, and at a recent meeting of the City Council the
bill was allowed, and by the way friend Drake is City
Auditor. Drake surmises that Townley and Mills run
North Dakota but from the above it appears to be d
fact that Lackey runs the city Of Westhope.
