.PULM0TER USED

FRANK BERGMAN ASPHYXIATED
IN BOILER AT DICKINSON
FIRE & PRESSED BRICK
IN co. WORKS ON
.y ... WEDNESDAY.
Limp Body Pulled into Open Air and
Pulmoter Machine Quickly Re-
STORED Life Almost Extinct.

Frank Bergman was asphyxiated
at the Dickinson Fire & Pressed Brick
Co. works at about s10:00 o'clock on
/; Wednesday which was the cause of
much excitement for a half hour, or
until friends were sure that his life
was saved. The man was in boiler
with Foreman Matt Fnrneis helping
to open up mud drum. A torch
was used and it is supposed that the
gasoline was turned ON a little too
strongly. Manager w. S. Russell had
cautioned the men to be very careful
and that Frank should come out of
the boiler before turning on the
torch, but the men did not think that
there was any real danger. as there
we're several small openings in the
boiler Mr.. Russell was in, the office
about SO feet from the boiler when he
heard the cali for help, Matt Furneis
excitedlyS shouting that Frank was
dead: 3 Mr. Russell directed, men of
the plant to make all possible haste
m getting Frank out. Of the boiler and
turned in ascall for a physician. "

was overcome with gas until his limp
body was placed in the open air, out
side the boiler and it possibly 10
minutes later when DR.. A. P.
Nachtwey and Mayor Alf.. White ar
rived on the scene with the pulmoter
machine which is kept at st. Joseph's
hospital. :, The man was revived at
once and within a few minutes had re-
gained consciousness, little later
being taken. to his home by
Manager Russell. Mr.. Bergman was
able to step from the auto and walk
into his home in South Dickinson.
However, he was weak and his head
was aching terribly. Aside from the
aching head, he was feeling all right
on Thursday and expected to return
to. work within a day or two. He is
an engineer, having worked for the
company II years. s.
The pulmoter is certainly a great
thing and saves many lives. 1t has
been the means Of saving many lives
already at St. Joseph's hospital. Of
course in the case at. the brick plant

man would have regained conscious
ness without the aid Of the pulmoter.

Foreman Furneis says that the first

boiler was when he failed to hold the

:BElE|E[D: WILL Be CITY,.
$4,000 BONDS CARRY

On the 23rd Of March an election
was held in the village of Belfeld on
the proposition of incorporating as a
city. At the same time it was voted
to bond for $4,000 for waterworks
purposes and now the question is
asked could the village legally au-
thorize vote on bonds? The valu-
alton of the village does not permit
of a $4,000 bond issue, but as a city
the people 2 would have a right to
bond for this amount. M
Belfeld Times:-At the election
held Tuesday, the only interest mani
fest was in the success or defeat OF
the proposition to incorporate Bel
field as city, and the issuance of
1000 bonds for waterworks sys-
tenn. However, the principal fight
was made on the bonding issue.
Many Of the more conservative ad-
vanced the argument that our popu-
lation was harly sufficient just now
to warrant this additional tax burd-
en-, claiming that no one experienced
any particular hardship in obtaining
the necessary water for drinking and
other purposes. On the other hand
there were those who averred that
unless a waterworks system could be
secured .Belfeld would be reduced to
a, hamlet, Thus the pros and antis
argued and Grated for a week or more
prior to election. III
When the ballots were counted it
was found that the issue had carried
by a very substantial majority, there
being 73 votes for and AZ against.
The city proposition carried with "
votes for and 33 against.
Herewith we give the names Of the
candidates elected to fill the follow
ing village Offices: Max Schwartz,
Frank Sharman and J. O. Milsten,
trustees; A. S. Ward, clerk; w. VIM.
Beebe, treasurer; Vernon Bloomquist,
assessor; John Boltz, marshal, and
Oscar Simonson, justice of the peace.
A special election will be held some
time soon to elect city officers. 5%
AS soon as the electric light system
is installed and the waterworks sys-
tenn in opera tion, the citizens of Bel
field can boast Of many modern con-
veniences to be found only in metro
politan centers. &S

GREENLEAF DOE
BACK FROM FLA,

Greenleaf Doe of Havelock was re-
turning Monday from spending the
winter in Florida. He found the
climate enjoyable around Tampa, the
mercury not getting lower than 65
at any time in December. Fruit is
very cheap in Florida this season, the
growers being glad to get 40c per box
for oranges, or barely enough to pay
cost of picking and boxing. AS a
matter Of fact, there is no market at
the present time down there for
either oranges or grape fruit. The
trees are loaded and the owners, in
many instances, would be glad to
have some one come along and pick
the. fruit to save it,, Mr., Doe is a
farmer in the Tepee Butte country,
where he will cultivate $50 acres the
coming season. Last year he raised
$500 bushels Of wheat and sold 1000
bushels at $1.05 per bushel. How
ever, he believes in growing stock
and feeding his corn and rough feed
on the farm. His son, Thomas Doe,
has charge Of the place, which en-
ables the father to go and come in
the winter season as he likes. Last
winter was spent in California. Mr..
Doe went out from Dickinson on the
New England auto livery, expecting
to reach home Tuesday.

Hill Family Moving to Lewistown,
Montana. Formerly Resided in
Gorham Country. At Ante
lOpe 10 Years.

F. A. Redetzke, formerly with the
Urban Mercantile Co. at Hebron and
at one time with the George Drenkel
store in Dickinson, has bought the E.
F. Hill store property at Antelope and
will invoice and take charge the first

Mr.. and Mrs. E. F. Hill, who have
conducted the store at Antelope the
past ten years, decided last year to
move to Montana with their sons,
Leslie and Howard, as soon as they
could straighten up their business af-
fairs in Stark county. They have
filed upon a homestead of 32O acres
near Lewistown and feel that they
have a desirable location. Attorney
Eddie Hagernan, son of Conductor
H. E. Hagerman, is practicing law at
Harlowtown, Montana, not far from
where his uncle and aunt are settling.
Mr.. Hill was formerly in the stock
business in the Gorham country, TAX
ing his family to Dickinson for time
before going to Antelope, where he
followed Koesel Bros. in the nnercan-
tile trade. He has also held the post
office and is now resigning in favor
of Mr.. Redetzke.
Mr.. Redetzke has been resident
of Hebron for II years and is famil-
lar with the mercantile trade. He
will rearrange the store, enlarge the
stock and make it point to carry
such articles as are usually found in
a country store. Mrs. Redetzke will
assist her husband in the store and
together they feel confident that they
can please the people of their locality
They will have the Antelope postoffice
and will open a cream agency at thei,
store. New grocery stock has beer
arriving the past few days for the
new owner.
The Redetzkes are shipping thei1
household effects to Antelope in cal
and the same car will be re-loadet
next week with the Hill goods ant
horses and consigned to their new
home in Montana.
The Stark and Billings county
friends of Mr.. and Mrs. Hill hope
that they will be prospered in thei1
new home. They still retain quar-.
ter section of land near Antelope.

people to activity. The Dickinson Of

you folks wish to put up any signs,
we will put them up in the same place
