Scarcely fifty years: ago a man crossed Apple Creek, and wandering over boundless prairies, came to the Missouri river along whoxe banks sl s denoted litims filed bn the town site of Edwinton. When the townsite was first decided —that was when the Northern ic decided to cross the river at point—two different parties knew | the location of the proposed crossing and the town site on the east bankj of the river. One of these parties was ; the-Lake Superior and Puget Soune | Company, whose purpose was to buy all the town sites between Lake Su-! perior and Puget Sound that were on; the Northern Pacific’s right of way. ‘The’ othe® party was J, J. Jackman who learned this from some unknown source. J. J. Jackman -and a com-) pany of selected companions started! for the town site, and at the same| Sound company started for the same destinations. The ‘two parties raced: necross the then trac plains of | North Dakota. J. J. Jackman arrived first. He and his companions staked out claims on the banks of the river. A day later the other party arrived and being unable to stake claims on| the river banks satisfied themselves by staking others to the east of Jack-} man’s party. It happened that they filed claims on the spot where Bis- marck is now located. ) {simply of his name and the .office; uable additions to the pistory compositions have been pres and they are herewith g! cellence warrants: of ted a little way to a settlement on ‘the river’ bank known as ‘The: Point.”! four miles to the newly settled town {known as: Burleightown. This was, on lithe then proposed line of ‘the North- ern \Pacific and therefore was settled pauickly. 7 As originally planned the railroad Twas to pit through Burleightown jand cross the river at The Point. Later, however, the course was chang- } ed so that it branched off of the orig- inal line just east of the Penitentiary. On October 13, 1872, the first elec- tion was held in the unfinished house jot Edmond Hackett (this house stood fon what is now Fifth Street. between | Main and Broadway). There were at; for this reason all. the ballots were! written in pen or ‘pencil on paper of! any shape or Color. -One candidate at this election, however, sent to Saint Paul for his ‘ballots, these ‘consisted | that he was running for. A soap box was pressed into service as a hallot box. At this election Charles H. Mc- Carty territorial council and W. P. Synon and E. A, Williams representa- tives. 4 At the time Edwinton was ‘platted, it was included in Buffalo County. Buffalo County extended -from the Missouri and the Montana state line on the west to the ninth meridian on the! east. and from’ Canada ‘oi’ the north to Charles Mix county, on the south. During the legislature of 1872 and 1873 E. A. Williams proposed di- viding . Buffalo County ‘into smaller counties, and suggested the one in which Edwinton was located be called Burleigh in honor of a doctor by that name jin South Dakota. The first fourth of July celebration took place in 1874. ‘On the west side. In 1872 the Lake Superior and; Puget Sound Company plotted ‘the! town of Edwinton, The town as orig- inally planned, occupied the north half | of section four. "A few months later | the first settlers entered town and; soon the horizon was ‘dotted. with) small claim shacks, Soon after, the | people began to settle here, the gov-| ernment establisiied Fort Hancock— the, Weather Bureau now. stands on! the former site of the fort, In 1872 the Northern Pacific award-j ed to Burleigh and Keith the contract to grade the last fifty miles this side! of ‘the river. The prospect of the graders being in the vicinity brought in a number of stores and sgloons, | many of which held ‘fotth’ in large, tents. At the same time a number! of settlers came in, .but instead of; settling at Edwinton some. went? out!

The rest ot ‘the town became peeved ‘at ‘this! exclusiveness and decided to celebrate ; also. The day of the celebration; dawned. bright and clear and.soon parade wended its way through the main street past Knob’s Hill and to a place a little west of the city (what| is now the ‘Country Club) where the celebration commenced. For this oc- casion a minister had been :imported’ from Saint Paul and upon arriving became slightly “fussed” on- finding two celebrations where one had been planned. However, he followed, the crowd-and ended up with the masses. Here he made a speech and as soon as he got them going .good:he disap-. peared and :soon “the aristocrates: on Knob's Hill were..being .honored by his presents, thus satisfying both par- ties. The speakers for the day lined! p as follows: Aristocrats—G, ‘P. Planery, Masses—E. A. Williams. Both—The Minister._ The name of Edwinton was changed to Bismarck. in 1874 by the Northern Pacitic railroad. At the time of the change Bismarek was a great states- man in Germany and was honored all over the world; ‘so’ in hopes of interesting ,German capital in the sale of Northern Pacific bonds the name was changed to. Bismarck. The ‘peo- ple having at that time no reason. for objecting allowed this changed with- out complaint. But Bismarck’ at that wus not, amd never has been, a German city. . , In 1875 the city was given its qwn officers. From 1873 when the city was organized till 1875 the city was under county control ‘but: in 1875. it was incorporated. The first city of- ficers were as follows: Mayor—Edmond Hackett. ' Treasurer—J. W. Raymond. Clerk-—Thomas O’Connel. It transacts.a gen- fd y BISMARCK, N. D.

This may be ‘exaggerated but every store had a bar-and ‘besides this there were forty-five saloons. Between 1874 and 1880 was probab- ly. Bismarci’s ‘most exciting time. Gambling halls were running full blast: and +shootings -were common. During \ this’ period . nothing » was thought ‘of a killing, and from num- berless shootings one incident is enough to show the “spirits” of the tintes. John D. Marontield was shot on Broadway, Everybody liked John so a celebration and funeral was planned. ‘They. had the celebration first and gn the way to the grave- yard they Jost John. Coming back they couldn't. find the body so the funeral was postponed. In 1875 the great grasshopper plague hit Bismarck and all the gar- dens-were destroyed.

In 1883 the brewery was built by Mr. Miller of Wilwaukee with the idea of supplying. the surrounding country with heer. This, did. not please his competitors who established agencies here with the result. that Bismarck had four or five fine beer wagons making the rounds. In this same year the last buffalo was killed inside ‘the city limits. Thé Capito) and the Penitentiary. were lo- cated at Bismarck during the year. When the: Capitol was built it was situated in the middle of the city as it was ‘then plotted. When the Capitol came with it’was the Capitol boom and the.population of Bismarck jumped to five thousand, At that time the town supported three daily news- paper's besides other weeklies. Among, the most prominent-were: The Capi- tol, Herald. Tribune, and Blade. The Capitol boom soon broke and in a GIRLS!

Williams got an appropriation for ‘the present Wil- liam Moor€ school: Land speculation was at its height and the people ap- pointed’ to select: the site, selected a block that sloped in from both sides. The result was that after the build- ing was finished the first rain flooded the ‘basenient and the grounds had to be filled in. The building now stands three feet below the leyel it was orig- inally planned. The first School in Bismarck stood wheresthe Will school now stands’ and, was built by the money raised from.'the sale of bonds issued ‘by the school board. Some of the ‘hotels of that ‘period were: The Capitol, a two story log building, situated where Gussner’s store now stands. The Auslin House stood where the.McKenzie now stands and was moved across the street.

We can-not close a history of Bis- marck: before we name some of the early settlers who were influentiat| in the foundation of the town. -Some that should be mentioned are: Williams, who drew up the city’s char- ter and’ was very influential in the Legislature; James W. Raymond, first president of the Bismarck Bank; G. P. Flannery; Alex McKenzie; J. A.
