mand of police headquarters on the
night when Mrs Emilio Barbara and
her six children were burned to death
in their home, only few feet from
the headquarters building, formal
charges of cowardice were preferred
last night at a meeting of the VII
lage council.
A thorough hearing will be held
Friday night and additional charges
against Chaneeman Charles Geritz
will also be probed
Delay into the investigation caused
a lively tilt between George Smith,
chairman of the board Of council, and
Charles Reheodat, member OF the
board, at the regular meeting of that
body last night.
Chief of Police Michael Mcintyre,
whose efforts to place the RESPONSE
bility for the inefficiency of the po-
lice have been untiring, urged that
the matter be probed and that the
guilty suffer.
With one man under arrest on sus-
picion of having set fire to the build

Policeman Robert Ringland, who
was in charge of police headquarters
the night the fire occurred, and Pat
rick Sheehan, the night engineer of
the Lackawanna shops, whose duty 1t
was to sound the fire alarm. CHARGED
with neglect of duty, the entire corr

hall to hear the result
All efforts to bring the affair to
speedy end, however, were unavaii-

against those under suspicion and
that the investigation should take

Lightning struck the house. and

retired, were not hurt by the

ouench the flames and save pa

received painful burns. The fur.
pishings of their home were bad

II was, in truth, not u fight for princi-

and followers willing TO reyolutioni2e

wreck they could satiate their greed
for power. AS evidence of the true
motives of the Roosevelt howlers Mr..
LaFoilette cites these pertinent facts.
They put forward no platform, no
issues. They made no fight against
the reactionary platform adopted.
They substituted vuglar personalities
and coarse epithets for serious consid-
GRAFTON of great economic problems
and brought ridicuIe and contempt
upon great cause.
The republican platform pledges
fidelity to the constitution OF the INIT
ed States Therefore Senator IaFoj-

are reminded of the old saying about

A. G. Brennick, of Mason City,
Ia, is visitor to thecity, with a
view to establishing here a plant
for the manufacture of building
brick. More than two years ago
Mr.. Brennick received ana tested
clays from near Lennon, sent
hin by Messrs. John Malloy and
Essex, and determined their high
value for the making of brick.
He is a specialist in the line of
establishing this industry in com.
munitles, and organized COM
panies at Mason City and Mar
shalltown, Ia, as we'll as other
points, which have done great
things industrically for those
towns and are running with sue
cess at present.
Mr., Brennick hopes to organize
a company here for an up-to-date
plant. Stock for the venture,
he states, will in part be taken
by outside parties, but he be-
lieyes that the venture is of
benefit SO great to the city that
many residents will gladly join,
The market is wide open for all
the brick now being manufactur.
ed-in fact. contractors are
throughout the northwest badly
behind for lack of necessary
material. This point, he shows,
could supply the heavy demands
of Aberdeen and even further
east. Aberdeen having no brick
making plant. and towards the
west all eastern Montana could
be reached profitably. Lennon
he shows, would profit immensely
by the steady employment of a
number of workmen, who would
occupy vacant residences and
build new ones.
He finds an immense deposit
of workable brick clay right at
the door of the city, to both sides
of the railroad cut, where the
bank is exposed to depth of IL
feet or more, and probably
reaches downward as much OF
better. The Ignite coal mined
close by could be brought here
at comparatively low cost, either
by rail from Haynes or Scranton
or by team from the north. All
the meterial would practically be
furnished by the country here.
abouts, and thus every dollar
would stay at home for home de.
velopment.
Those who have visited at He
bron and Dickinson, know of the
splendid showing made there by
the development of the brick
making industry. AT Hebron
especially the tall smokstack
and broad buildings speak fol
the vastness Of its industry.
Here are manufactured the very
finest grades of facing brick and
tile the plant being one of the
proudest boasts of the North
Dakota manufacturing industries
There is no reason why sim
ilarly flattering results could not
be obtained here at Lennon.
and Mr.. Brennick ks hopes prepare
the way for such success.
