White Supremacist Family Moves to Leith

LEITH, N.D. (AP) — A white supremacist trying to turn a small southwestern North Dakota town into an all-white enclave has convinced a family to join him.

Craig Cobb has been buying property in Leith and recruiting others with similar views to come to the community of two dozen people so he can create a voting majority and take over the town.

The Bismarck Tribune reports Kynan and Deborah Dutton, of Oregon, have moved into Cobb's home with their five children. Cobb plans to put a mobile home on his property.

Area residents have been pushing Cobb to leave. City Councilman Lee Cook says the presence of the Dutton family raises the level of seriousness.

Health officials have ordered Cobb to equip his house with water and sewer. Cobb says he won't comply.
