As a young adult, he worked for a number of years in the newspaper business, founding his own paper, the Humboldt Leader (probably Humboldt, Nebraska), in 1897. In 1911, he sold the paper in order to join the Indian Service. He was first assigned to the Navajo Reservation in Arizona, then in 1913 to the Menominee Indian Reservation in Wisconsin, followed by work with the Sioux tribes at Fort Thompson, South Dakota. Later, he was in charge of the Southern Pueblos in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and finally returned to Arizona.

In 1926, he retired from the Indian Service and moved to Long Beach, California, where he owned a cigar store. Later, he joined family in Las Vegas, Nevada and lived out his remaining years there. He was a prominent civic leader and mayor of Las Vegas, and was instrumental in establishing the first low-income family housing development in the city, which was renamed "Marble Manor" in his honor after his death in 1945.
