Geocache Description:


In 1884 Grand Rapids was the LaMoure County seat by default as it was the only town when the county was created. LaMoure was named the county seat after an election. It was decided by the new council, now headed by “The LaMoure Gang”, to have all county records moved to LaMoure within 10 days. An application to a judge in Jamestown was made on behalf of Grand Rapids to keep its county seat status. The injunction was granted but before it was received, a grand plot was hatched and executed to steal the records. The 18 volunteer raiders from LaMoure reached the court house in Grand Rapids around midnight, to find it brightly lit, locked, and bristling with gun carrying defenders. Luckily there was no bloodshed, the door was broken down, and all records and everything not bolted down stowed into wagons to be taken to LaMoure. The raiders arrived back in LaMoure and were enjoying breakfast when the injunction was served to them. Everything was taken back until the courts decided on the matter, and the records were brought to LaMoure where they remain to this day.
