drew into his shell, silent and Grabbed,
and Selwood saw that something was
necessary to encourage him. He or
dered breakfast, and while It was

OF COUNTY ANDCITY
Authoritative Historian Has
Been Resident Of Bis
marck 81 Years

A history of Bismarck and Rur
leigh county is being prepared b,
William A. Falconer resident her
! for "a years.
alconer is now collecting dat,
and assembling some of the his
torical sketches which he has nre
pared already. He says that i
might be two years before the vel
hlmc is published. ~
The book will consist principall,
o. the works of the prominen,
citizens who have aided in tho do
velopmcnt OF the city and the sur.
rounding territory.
The book will present a chronicle
and features of important events
here, some Of which have beer
published before, beginning with the
early settling of Bismarck and ~
the townsite litigation in connec.
ton with the settling.
Discussion Of the gold rush to tho
Black Hills, extending from 1874 to
1879. will be thorough. Falconer
says. The coming of the Northern
Pacific railway into the city in 1879
the coming of General Sibley into
what is now Burleigh county. his.
ktOry OF the location of old Fort Lin
coin, officers and soldiers here. and
accounts of the many Indian battles
will all be given lengthy description.
Falconer says the history is So
colorful, interesting, and important
and the requests he has received to
write it SO numerous. that he
couldn't resist the temptation to
work on it,.
The writer came to Bismarck July
49,. 1874, on the Northern Pacific
train. Bismarck was the end of the
line at that time, though the grade
for the future steel road was com
pleted far west Of here. He was ac-
companied by his sister, Mrs. John
Mclean, who died here during the
last summer.
Upon arriving in Bismarck he
secured position as clerk in the
Mclean MacNider general store.
where he worked until 1884.
lie then became deputy register
OF deeds, remaining in this position
until 1890, when he was elected
register Of deeds.
Finishing his second term as req
lister of deeds in 1894, Falconer then
became deputy county treasurer, in
which office he served until 1900.
when he was elected treasurer.
Completing his second term as
county treasurer in 1904, he became
deputy state treasurer, remaining in
that office until 1908.
From 1908 to 1920, he was en- |
ployed by the international Har-
vester company, and he has been city
assessor since that time.
Falconer was born Feb. 26, 1859
at Glengary, Ont, Can. In 1868 he
came west with his brothers, work.
ing on the construction of the I'm
tied Pacific railway. He settled
with his brothers at place called
Red Desert, Wyo., when the Un-
tied Pacific reached that far, he
said.
Falconer is considered an author
ity on Bismarck occurrences in the
early days.

died in office, though John E. Carl
an resigned when he was appointed

E. A. Williams, who began his
four-year term in April, 1909, was
the first man elected president of
the city commission after the COM
mission form of government was
adopted.
Falconer's statistics also show
that A. w. Lucas and A. P. Lenhart
have spent the most years in the
office. Lucas served two four-year
terms and Lenhart will soon finish
his second four-year term.
Only one man was elected mayor
at two different periods. He was
