John A. M'LEAN
PIONEER, DIES
IN BOSTON
~ -
First Mayor of Bismarck Passes
Away in an Eastern
City.
SIGNED FIRST DEEDS
4 TO CITY PROPERTY

Word was received here yesterday
,'of the death Of John A. Mclean. who
died in Boston, Mass. His son, H. F..
Mclean, was with him at the time Of
his death. Mr.. Mclean has been i'll
for several years and his death was
not unexpected.
In the death of Mr.. Mclean another
of the early pioneers of Dakota Ter
ritory has passed to the Great eyond.
Mr.. Mclean was born September Is,
1S49, at Highbank, Prince Edward
Island. He attended Prince of Wales
college and afterwards taught school
for one year. Later he came west,
where he engaged in contract. work
with the Northern Pacific railroad
company, between Duluth and Brain
erd, MINI. s-~
Came Here in 1873.
Mr.. Mclean came to Bismarck, Da-
kota Territory, in 1873, and engaged
in the mercantile business, his store
being located on the lot now coupled
by Grambs & Peet on Main street.
Later he entered into a co-partner-
ship with Robert MacNider. This
was one Of the leading firms in the
city of Bismarck and for ten years
did: an extensive business. -.
First Mayor. ~.
Mr.. Mclean was the first mayor
elected by the people, and as mayor
of the City of Bismarck he filed un-
der the townsite act for the use and
benefit Of, the occupants thereof on
land known as the original townsite
Of the City of Bismarck, and under
his administration as mayor the town
site litigation was fought to a sue
cessful issue. All the first deeds to
the occupants of the city bear his
signature as mayor.
In March, 1876, over 40 years ago,
Mr.. Mclean and Col. Lounsberry
made a trip to Washington, D. c.,
taking with them samples Of gold
dust from the Black Hills. They pre-
vailed upon President Grant and con-
gress to open the Black Hills for set
tlement
Supplies to Custer.
When Gen. Custer left on his ILL.,
fated expedition from Fort Lincoln,
on May II, 1876, Mr.. Mclean obtain.
ed the contract from the government
for furnishing the civilian teams to
carry supplies for this expedition and
when forts were established on the
Yellowstone river, he entered into
contract with the government to sup
ply hay and wood for these posts.
County Named For Him.
Mr.. Mclean took an active interest
in the development of the country
and as a recognition for what he had
done to help advertise the Territory
of Dakota, the county of Mclean was
named for him. Gen. E. A. Williams,
who was then speaker of the house
at Yankton, in 1888 introduced bill
creating this county.
The old store of Mclean & Mac
Nider was known by all the people
living along the Missouri river, their
principal business being supplying
steamboat trade and freighters to the
Black Hills. For many years he was
a conspicuous figure in the CONNER
cial and political life of the Capital
City.
The sons survive. William of Halt
fax. N. s.: H. F. of Montreal, and G.
G. Mclean of Mandan. The body will
be brought to st. Paul and inferred
in the family burying ground.

cial Agent Murphy to the effect that

Every section of the state is taking
up the rapid-fire campaign to raise
funds by private subscription for the
motor ambulance of the North Dako-
ia regiment at the front, to replace
the WORKOUT, mule-hauled vehicle,
less .springy that a farm wagon.
The newspapers are taking up the
campaign, with editorials and news
stories, pointing cut the great need
of the proper equipment for the hos
pital corps, to enable it to reach any
place where the boys may be in the
least time. Every other regiment at
the front has an automobile ambu-
lance, fully equipped, ready to minis
ter at minutes notice to a soldier
stricken by heat or other things.
All readers of the Bismarck Trib-
une are invited to send contributions
to it, The money will be held in
trust for Major Steedman, military
secretary to Governor Hanna.
Lets Get That Ambulance" I'm
der that caption the Fargo Courier
ews comes. out editorially in support
of the movement as follows:
"E. H. Drummer of Bismarck has
assumed the task Of receiving funds
to purchase a motor ambulance for
the First North Dakota Infantry on
the Mexican border.
''The fact that the militia from
practicable every other state lis nh
ready 50 equipped is sufficient to
open the purse strings of the patri-
OTIS here at home.

pared to what they are now subjected
under the desert sun at Mercedes,
Texas.
''In addition, are all the other ac-
companying discomftures and unsan.
itary conditions attendant to mobili-
zation for which the. war department
was unprepared.
"Fortunately our guardsmen are
not now engaged in warfare. But
war is ever potential and the motor
ambulance is but an addition to pre-
paredness. It is just little test OF
the sincerity of preparedness advo'
Gates of North Dakota.
"Bismarck citizens alredy have
subscribed $24250 to the ambulance
which, it is estimated, will cost $2,7OO
Fargo citizens may send donations di
rect to E. H. Dummer, Bismarck, or
The Courier-News will be glad to for
ward them.'' . .,.. ,,.
The following comes from Valley
City:
"Word from the camp at Mercedes
Texas, that the North Dakota regi
ment had no hospital ambulance ex'
cept an antiquated affair, drawn by
mules, has started an agitation to
subscribe funds to purchase motor
ambulance. The daily papers of the
state have enlisted to make rapid
fire campaign as the time is short
and the amount needed is only about
$2,7G0. Valley City is expected to
come to the front with $3.50 or $500.
C. F. Mudgett of the First National
bank has consented to receive dona-
tions, and all sums should be given
or sent to him. A list of the dona-
tions will be printed each day until
the amount has been raised"

GIVING HIM CONFIDENCE.

1t was his first campaign, his first
political speech, even. Although the
county committee had sent him into n
rural district to try out his oratorical
wings, he was encouraged by the warm
welcome of the local committee and the
elaborate preparations for the meeting
that were evident on all sides. There
was even band that played on the
stand in the public square for half an
hour before the speech. Finally the
great moment arrived. The chairman
stepped to the platform rail and ad-
dressed the crowd.
"Fellow citizens" he said, eve have
with us today a young man who is des-
| tined to make his mark in the ranks OF
our party. He comes to tell us of the
burning issues that confront us, and his
fame as an orator has preceded him. He
will now address you, and when he has
finished the band will call you together
again."-Youth's Companion.

Prussians and Germans.

Many authorities hold that the orig.
inal Prussians were not OF the same
breed of the old, or South, Germans
being of the Hunnish or Mongoliau
stock. The kinship of the English
Dutch, Scandinavian and South Ger
man is indisputable, but the Prussian'
(ethnologically speaking). are not in
cluded in the Teutonic circle. They
are, to say the least, originally of non
Teutonic blood.
