His father’s name was Celestin Houde. a Canadian Frenchman. Leon’s father took a homestead in wbae is now the town of Belle Prairie, and there he raised a large family.Leon left borne at an early age, at first working as cookee in the lumber woods, and later as cook, which business he followed for several years in the lumber camps and on the log drives. He attended school but little, and therefore his education was limited. His mother tongue was French. He was naturally proud and somewhat vain. In his prime Mr. Houde was a handsome man, and when dressed in the captain’s uniform be used to wear, made an imposing figure.He was a very energetic man, and had rather high aspirations. In spite of his limited education, by his earnestness and persistence he attained several lucrative offices.While yet quite a young man he got elected to the office of justice of the peace, which office be held for several years. When a company of state militia was formed in Little Falls many years ago, Mr. Houde was made 1st lieutenant, and later elected captain, which position be filled with great dignity. The companies short lived.In 1875 the deceased was elected clerk of the district court, which office he held for twelve years. In 1890 he was elected sheriff and held the office four years. This was the last important office he held. In 1874 or 1875, he was an independent candidate for the legislature, not with success. He got some votes in this county, but only one in Brain-erd. He used to tell, as a good joke, how when he went to Brainerd, nearly every man there claimed to have cast that solitary vote.About 1870 Houde was employed by Minneapolis lumbermen to purchase what was known as half-breed scrip, which could be located on pine lands. This proved to be a lucrative business, as in two or three years he made quite a stake, clearing something like $17,000, which he got in cash. Shortly after he engaged in the saloon business, th n in the mercantile business, going into partqership with A. Tanner and L. Worthington, Houde putting in the most of his ready cash. In about two years the firm found itself financially embarassed, bo much so that it was dissolved, A. Tanner succeeding to the business.Although professing to be a democrat, Houde was considerable of h free lance in county politics.The deceased was never married.Since the deceased’s term of office as sheriff expired at the end of 1894, he had been on the decline financially, and mentally, dying in poverty at the state asylum, and being buried by the state—a melancholy end for a man of his ambition and energy.N.

In an interesting review of the market, the St. Cloud Journal-Press of Tuesday says:“Based pn the general feeling possibly more than on the conditions, every country merchant has bought potatoes to the exclusion of almost everything else. The passion of speculation wa3 on him and he bought and stored and waited. Ten days ago a Little Falls merchant was eagerly buying, paying 75 cents for any variety and any size of the vegetable. A weak later he was paying 50 cents, provided the potatoes were of good size and marketable. He has 2,000 bushels and has sent a representative to St. Joseph, Mo., in an effort to dispose of the lot. He will coant himself lucky if he ie able to get 60 cents per bushel for the lot delivered at St. Joseph. The same condition prevails at Foley, where a firm has 1,500 bushels for which they were offered and declined 43TOOK THE VEIL.Solemn Service at St. Gabriel’s Hospital.At St. Gabriel'* coo vent this morning.
