Jone W. White, born in Virginia, came to Carrington from Des Moines, Iowa, in September 1902 to be a partner of C.B. Craven. The partnership lasted for two years and he practiced on his own until he ran for and was elected States Attorney in 1906. He resigned from that office in 1908 on account of pressing business affairs in his Virginia home. He was succeeded by C.B. Craven, who was appointed to fill out the term. He returned to Carrington briefly to resume his practice but left again to go to Twin Falls, Idaho. A year or so later he moved back to a practice in Des Moines, Iowa.
