- CAPTAIN FRANK G. HIGGINS -
Frank G. Higgins was born December 28, 1863, at Hell Gate, near the present site of the city of Missoula, Mont. His father, Captain C. P. Higgins, was one of the earliest settlers in Montana, and at an early age young Frank learned to ride, hunt and shoot, and the bracing air and free life of the plains developed him into a physical giant. He was always fond of manly sports (Football at the University of Michigan in 1885) and is an expert athlete. He was educated at Shattuck Military School, Faribault, Minn., and graduated at the Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N. H., class of 1884, and from the law department of the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, class of 1886. He was admitted to the bar in Montana the same year and was the first native Montanan to be admitted to practice in all the courts of the state. He was elected to the first legislative assembly in 1889 and again in 1890; elected mayor of Missoula in 1890 and was tendered the democratic caucus nomination for governor of the state in 1892, but was compelled to decline on account of being under the constitutional age; was a member of the delegation from Montana to the Democratic National Convention at Chicago in 1892. He was very actively engaged in the organization of Troop F, Third United States Volunteer Cavalry, at the outbreak of the Spanish-American war, with which troop he was mustered into the United States service May 13, 1898, being the ranking captain in the Montana squadron and the second ranking captain in the regiment. He served with his troop at Camp Thomas, Ga., until muster-out September 8, 1898, after which he returned to Missoula, Mont., where he is now extensively engaged in stock raising.
