NEW MANUFACTURING
....... COMPANY ORGANIZED

! Chas. Bake, general contractor,
and W. J. Elliott, general manager of
the North Dakota Pressed Brick Co.,
have organized company for the
manufacture and sale of silo tile.
The name of the new company is the
Dickinson Vitrifed Tile Silo Co.
Beth Of the above gentlemen are we'll
known here as thoroughly expert
enced men in everything that per-
tains to tile manufacture and con-
struction.
Mr.. Elliott has patented a frost
proof silo door and system of rein
forcement, used in connection with
| ticn. Mr.. Elliott says that there
isn't question but that clay pro-
duct silo is the best that can be
built, and that a hollow tile silo
properly built will return more value
for the money than any other kind.
He says there is no shrinking or
swelling, no cracks, no loosening
banks, no disintregation and no fire
risk; neither is any paint needed.
They are also tornado proof and i'm
previous to moisture and silage acids.
Mr.. Elliott further states that the
best evidence of the superiority of the
tile silo is the fact that nobody can
find anv fault with this clcss of con-
struction. There are no offs" enter
ing into the building, such as are Oft
en- used in connection with cement or
wooden construction: There is no "if
your gravel is clean;" eff your water
is free from alkah;" eff your cement
is not too cold;" or "If you can get
the proper mixture" There is no
eff they do not warp, rot or blow
down." 90,
tise extensively in the farm and
dairy journals, as we'll as in local
papers on the Missouri Slope. They
believe there is a great future in
North Dakota and Montana, as we'll
as other states, for permanent silo
construction. The farmers are be-
ginning to realize more and more
with each passing year the value of
the silo for both beef and dairy cat
tie. The present prosperous condi-
tions should see many silos erected
during the coming year, and the
Dickinson Vitrifed Tile Silo Co. pro-
poses to get it's share of the silo
business.
AS skilled labor is necessary in the
construction of hollow tile silos, it is
the plan Of the company to sell the
silos to the farmers erected complete
upon their farms. The company will
then be able. to guarantee the silo in
every detail as one Of the most
permanent and lasting type.

ZENITH SIA6OL TEACHER
NEARLY BURNS TO DEATH

The Andy Gilmore house at. Zenith,
used as scnool house and. also as a
dwelling by the teacher and the C.
Hempdon family, caught fire in some
unknown way Tuesday night and
burned to the ground. Miss Hazel
Allard, the teacher, was awakened
about 2 .o'dlock in the morning, by
the flames which had already reached
her bed. The entire ceiling of her
room was ablaze, as was also the
portions of the wallis and the bed
clothing. Fire had already. ignited
her hair. With a scream she dashed
through the flames and aroused Mr.
and Mrs. Hempdon :-and their little
daughter. They. just barely had time
to get outside, bare footed and clad
only in their sleeping garments, when
the house burst into one, solid mass
Of flames. Miss Allard attempted tc
rush back into the burning structure
to save some of her: things, but was
prevented by Mr.. Hempdon. All the
clothing and household effects Of Miss
Allard and the Hempdon family were
destroyed, and to add ITO their misery
Mrs. Hempdon had her feet badly
frosted while forced to walk through
the snow to neighboring house.
Miss Allard was quite badly burned
about the face and hands and came
to Dickinson on No. 4 in the morn
ing to obtain medical treatment

old DICKINSON PIONEER .
DIES AFTER BRIEF ILLNESS

The death of Michael j. Lally at
his home on Second Avenue East at
7:3O o'clock the morning of January
26th, removed from our midst one of
the oldest settlers of Stark county
and Western North Dakota. De-
ceased came to this place about SO
years ago, some two years before
there was any Dickinson, and was in
the Territory Of Dakota, with the
Northern Pacific surveying engineers,
as early as 1877 to 1879, while the
Indian and buffalo still had full
sway in this great state of ours.
Deceased had been real sick but two
days, although in poor health for sew
eral months, keeping his bed most of
the time.
Michael Lally was born in Ireland
about the year 1888, coming to
America in 1865, landing on the CONT
nent the night before Christmas. He
spent some time i'm the eastern states,
and used to tell many interesting
tales of his sojourns in Philadelphia
When he came west Of the Missouri
river there was little to denote civili-
zation other than a government fort
south Of the place now known as Man
dan and surveying camps here and
there near the present line of the
Northern Pacific railroad.
Mr.. La1ly Was in Dickinson :Ss .early
as 1880-S1, when the spot on the
prairie was known as Pleasant Valley
In company with Jack McDonough he
erected "a small building at place
not far from the present location OF
the Mckenzie store on Willard street
This was late in 1881 and it was
about the first frame building erected
here. Subsequently he homesteaded
what is now portion of the Con-
solidated Coal Co.. mines four miles
east of the city. This property he
sold to the late A. &c. McGillivray and
capitalists of Fargo for about $4,000,
and, as he often said, thought his
fortune was made.
About the time of Mr.. Lally's mar
,:iage in St. Paul to Miss Nora Ruddy
he was engaged for a time in the
seQuently moving back to Dickinson
and buying the l.. ID. Kidder hotel,
later renamed the st. Paul and the
present property of Michael McGin-
ley- John Lally, 20 years of age,
was born in this hotel, Miss Catherine
being born in this city also.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lally made trip to
Ireland together while they resided
in St. Paul.
Services were held Friday morning
from St. .Patrick's Catholic church,
Rev. FIR. John Dignam officiating, in
terment heing made IN St. Patrick's
cemetery
The pail bearers were: T. B. Nc
'Donough, Joe Murphy, Patrick Nc
Ginley, P. lB. Corbett, lack Leon
'begger and Lawrence Regan. The re-
mains were prepared for burial by
Boulger & Hughes.
Besides the wife, Mrs. Nora Lally,
there is one son, John, and a daugh-
ter, Catherine, left to mourn the loss
Of husband and father; also a sister,
Mrs. James Harrington, residing in
this city with her daughter, Mrs. Bert
.Sprague.
Michael Lally was one of thbse
happy beings who enjoyed telling a
good story and he had many of them.
Many readers of the Press will re-
gret to learn Of his death.

DICKINSON ITO ENTERTAIN
SCHOOL ,.SUP!ER|NTENDENTS

If present plans materialize the
city of Dickinson will entertain the
county superintendent of schools at
their annual convention to be held
during the latter part Of April. The
Dickinson Commercial Club sent an
urgent invitation to State Superin-
tehdent Taylor last fall, asking that
Dickinson be named the official meet
ing place for next spring. Mr.. Taylor
took the matter up with the officers
of the association, and the Press
understands that plans are practically y
complete for the naming of Dickin-
son as the spring convention city for
this organization.
It will be with great pleasure that
the people of this city will welcome
this gathering, and that everything
in the power of our people to pro-
vide an enjoyable and profitable ses-
sion, is assured. Suitable entertain
ment will be arranged and every ef-
fort made to make the visitors feel
that they are among friends.
Dickinson has every facility as a
convention city. The spacious
armofy, together with a half dozen
other fine assembly halls provide a
ispiendid selection of meeting places.
Our hotels are among the best in the
state, and have facilities for the car
ing Of large crowds. Last, but not
least, is the fact that the city has a
live Commercial Club which always
stands ready to do everything in its
power for the entertainment and sat
isfaction Of guests who may come to
the city.

Farmers Institute Will
Be Held in Dickinson
Two Days, March rs

The North Dakota Farmers Insti-
tute authorities have announced that
an institute will be held in Dickinson
on Tuesday and Wednesday, March
7th and 9Th. Several able agricultur-
al and stock raising experts will be
here to conduct the work, and it is
hoped that record breaking at
tendance of farmers will result.
There will also be woman instructor
accompanying the institute, who will
demonstrate many things that: the
ladies on the farms will be glad to
know.
It is expected that there will be
a forenoon, afternoon and evening
The Dickinson press., 1916-01-29

session on Tuesday, and a forenoon
and afternoon session on Wednesday.
The Dickinson Commercial Club is
financing the proposition, and the
members are working hard to make
the institute a complete success in
every way. A most cordial invitation
is extended to the farmers and ranch
ers of Stark and adjoining counties to
attend.
1t will be remembered that the
Commercial Club decided some weeks
ago to arrange for an institute, and
at that time took the matter up
with the proper authorities. The re-
suit is that an institute was secured
for March 7th and 9th.

GROUND TO DEATH
\ BENEATH WHEELS
YOUNG FREIGHT BRAKEMAN
MEETS HORRIBLE DEATH
NEAR RICHARDTON.
Slips From Engine Step While Pre-
pairing to Catch Hoop Holding
Orders-HOrribly Mangled

Floyd Kempffer, head brakeman on
extra stock freight No. 1886, east
bound, which left Dickinson at $40
a. M, lost his life in a most tragic
manner ~ about 4 o'clock Monday
morning while attempting to catch
the hoop orders at Richardton. AS he
climbed down the engine steps he
evidently slipped from the narrow
steps, and in a moment was ground
into an unrecognizable mass beneath
the tender wheels. When he did not
return with the train orders, the fire.
man went out to look for him. AS he
was not in sight, the terrible truth
was at once guessed and the train
brought to stop, nearly half "a mile
out of Richardton. The bloody trucks
instantly told the story, and the
train was backed into Richardton.
Upon examination it was found
that pieces of the body had been
strewn along the tracks for a long
distance. The legs of the unfortu-
nate man were found close to the
depot platform, pieces of flesh and
other parts of the body were found
further along the track and the
back of Kempfer's head, neck and one
shoulder were dragging under a truck
of one of the cars. No part of the
body picked up weighed over 25
pounds. It was literally ground to
pieces, some of the keys he was
carrying even being bent almost
double.
States Attorney H. A. Burgeson
and Coroner A. d. Davis were mott
! fed Immediately, and they went to
Richardton on No. A. The horribly
mangled remains were picked up and
placed in a box and taken to the
nlorgue in Dickinson, where they
were placed in a casket, and on
Tuesday shipped to Two .Harbors
Minnesota, for burial, Brakeman
Frank Kirby accompanying.
The victim Of the tragedy was COM
paratively a new man on the Man
Dickinson division, coming herf
from the Duluth & Iron Range rail
way in Minnesota, on December 23rd
: He was only a few days over 22
years of age, and was married only
last June. His wife was Jesiding
temporarily at Biwabik, Mimi.
awaiting word to move to -Mandan
where they expected to make their
permanent home. The father of the
deceased resides at Two .Harbors
>Minn.,. where intern1ent Of the re-
mains was made.
AS far as can be ascertained, the
deceased carried no life insurance,
nor, was he a member of any of the
trainmen's fraternal orders. The
Press has been informed, however,
that, list is being circulated by the
trainmen to raise a sum of money
to- present to the surviving widow.
The: extra stock train on which
Kempfer met his death was pulled
by Engineer Billy Williams and was
in charge of Conductor James Wilson.
E. II. Pope. was the rear brakeman
and * Kempffer was at the head end.
AS. the deceased was comparatively
new. man on this division, he was
not very generally known to the
Dickinson railway men. He evidently
was a pleasant fellow to meet and
those who know him best speak very
highly of him. He made his home In
the train caboose whenever at this
end of the line.
