County Division Rumors Hit Conrad Across County Lines
Reports from Conrad describe a planned northern county division around July 1 with a west east line through township 27 north in Teton county. The plan would set Conrad as temporary county seat and lead to a political fight among Conrad Crs Bank and Valier for a permanent seat, contingent on Eight million dollars valuation of Teton after amputation. Names circulated include C C Davis for state senator and Thomas Alfalfa Busey for the house, with a slate of local officers including J G Weitzel and J W Shields as county officials.
