Attorney Doughty
Goes to High Court
End Follow Long Illness At
Bismarck Hospital Had
Been Pioneer Here

The passing of another of Lang
don's early day pioneers comes as
considerable surprise this week when
the news reached friends of the death
in a hospital at Bismarck of A.tor-
ney Horace B. Doughty, practicing
lawyer in this county of no mean
ability from the time of it's first or
ganization in the early .8O's until
about fifteen years ago, when he To-
Gated in the Missouri slope country
at Wilton, N. D., not far from the
state capitol. His ability as a crimi-
nal lawyer is recalled by old resi-
dents as shown in all of the more
noted cases that have been tried in
the county during the past thirty odd
years. Members Of the Legislature
from this county frequently saw MIR
Doughty while in Bismarck last win
ter, at that time hopes for his re-
covery being considered good. 1t
is understood that he has a grown
son who has lately entered upon the
practice of law. AS is generally
known here, Mrs. Doughty has been
helpless invalid for number of
years under treatment in private
sanitarium. In spite of his fine legal
attainment the career Of Attorney
Doughty was marked at many periods
along the way of disappoiDtments.i
both to himself and his friends, but
for that he would in the hey day of
his profession have easily passed out
of the vision of the email
town practitioner. Attorney Doughty
was known and liked by all the early
day residents of the county and now
that he has gone there will be those
to mourn the many fine attributes of
character and mind that we're up-
permost in his warm hearted and i'm
pulsive nature.

Grant Johnson Dies
0fB|ood Poisoning
Sudden End Comes to Man
Held In High Regard By
All Langdon People

A letter from Weyburn, Sask.,
received on Mondays mail by Mr.. j.
F. Ramage brought to Langdon news
OF the death On Saturday last. the
23rd inst, of Grant johnson after
short illness in which the presence of
blood poison was responsible for it's
sudden termination at shortly after
three O'Clock last Saturday morning
No particulars are given, Just the
bare statement that Grant johnson
had died, giving the date and stating
that the end was due to blood poison.
Up to the time of disposing of his
restaurant, pool hall and bowling
alley here about ten years ago to
Frank Green, when he went to Wey-
burn, Sask., to engage in the same
line of business, Grant Johnson had
in residence of several years in
Langdon become what might be
be styled central figure in the busi-
ness life eff the town He came here
as one of the players on the first sal.
aried baseball team that Langdon
assumed the ownership of some
twenty odd years ago. What perhaps
popularized Grant with Langdon
people was the fact that no matter
whether it was in the line of busi-
ness or sport if he had anything to
to do with it had to be clean and
on the square. When the ball team
disbanded and left town Grant de-
cided to remain behind and became
one Of our townspeople.
AS representing the colored popula-
tion of Langdon Grant johnson was
at all times during his Langdon resi-
dence the equal of any in good
citizenship, and the same high endor-
sement of character comes from those
at Weyburu, Sask., among whom he
had lived and built up an honorable
business career during the past ten
years. He was a man probably in
the middle ffties, is known to have
three brothers, all in Western Canada
and one of them, Luke, has been with
him in business at Weyburn, since
leaving Langdon His widow, is left
witha property that will bring in
quite comfortable income
