One of the hottest contests of the kind was a three-cornered affair, involving Sprague, Harrington and Davenport, for the honor of being the first county seat for the newly-erected Lincoln county. 'Joe' Wormald, pioneer railroader, was one of the Sprague crowd that raided Davenport and brought away the county records. He tells his story today to William S.
