that representative of North Dakota
Ignite operators be appointed as a
member of the operators advisory

FIRE DESTROYS
BUILDINGS ON
I.P.BAKER FARM
Loss of Upwards Of $4,000
Caused in Fire Late
Saturday Afternoon I

Fire of undetermined origin burn
ed down a house, barn and other
buildings on the fam of l. P. Baker,
south of the Northern Pacific tracks
and west of the Iall park shortly
after 4 O'Clock Saturday afternoon.
The blaze burned fercely and the Ell.
tire house was in flames soon after
the fire was discovered
Workmen on the new road noticed
the fire and notified William Dahl
heimer, who lives in the house. He
was working on some machinery near
by. He rushed to the shouse, opened
door and narrowly escaped a severe
burning from the blast which issued.
Mrs. Dahlheimer and children were
downtown at the time. ,..s - 49,.
i The fire department was. called and
hose was stretched from a hydrant
at-the end of Main street. Two stacks
of hay burned but the wind did not
carry the flames to several stacks OF
recently cut wheat. The wood car
riage on a cement 1silo was burned
off. Because of the direction Of the
wind the fire just missed a great deal
of machinery.
A Tribune carrier boy reported an
incident of the fire.. A cat and kit
tens were caught in the: loft Of a
barn. The mother cat braved the fire
and rescued all of her kittens, carry
ing them safely to the ground.
Loss on the buildings is estimated
at about $4,000 with 1920 insurance.
Mr.. Dahleimer carried $500 insur-
ance on household goods which Will
not replace the loss. "

MERCURY GOES
TO 100 MARK
Reaches High Point of Season
at 3 O'clock Sunday

With the hottest months of the
summer passing the weather lords go'
busy and finally pushed the mercury
to the 100 mark for the benefit OF
those who will be wishing for the
good old summer time along about
the middle next January.
The thermometer registered 81
Saturday and Sunday began creep
ing again, reaching its highest point
Of 100 about three o'clock Sunday at
ternoon. Most OF the residents OF
Bismarck who sweltered Sunday an
the heat will agree that the thermo-
meter, of the weather bureau did not
register any loYer than it really
was. About the only people who
missed the. full effect of the heat at
8 o'clock were the baseball fans who
were pulling; for rally BY the Bis.
marck team just about that time.
Yesterday was the first time the
thermometer has touched 100 since
August 81, 1921. Fcssenden reported
101 for yesterday, while.sLisbon re"
ported a temperature of 100.
The heat blanket was spread all
over the plains states and the Mis-
sissippi Valley. Weather bureau re-
ports today said chat it was not as
hot over most Of the plains states
today with prospects of breeze
sending the mercury down somewhat
here. The high point yesterday is
nrettv close to the August record, but
mis- sed it by a few degrees.

LOUIS EGER, A
PIONEER RANCH
OWNER, is DEAD

Killdeer, N. D., Aug. 1.-THE
death of Louis Eyer, father of Fred
Eyer Of Manning, occurred Sast
Sunday at his home in Tacoma,
Wash. 1t followed the passing of his
wife by fourteen months, lacking
three days.
The Egers came to Dickinson in
1887 lived there two years and NOV
ed to Medora where Mr.. Eyer work
ed in the packing plant Of the
Count DeMores, famed in fact, and
fiction of those pioneer times. :.
Thence they moved to Rapid
City, S. Dak., but returned shortly
by OK team and settled on the pres
ent Eyer ranch property on the
Little Knife east of Manning, thirty
two years ago. About five years
ago they sold the ranch property to
their son, Fred and moved out to
Tacoma where both the old folks
passed away, and wkere both have
been buried.
Miss Effie Eyer, Mr.. and Mrs.
Manley Cone and Mr.. and Mrs.
Pete Frazier were at the bedside Of
the deceased during his last illness.
/. The following children survive:
Mrs. A. s. Robinson of Burbank.
CAL; Mrs. Harry Barker of Port
land, Oregon; Mrs. VIM. McCory Of
Summers, WASH; Mrs. P. Frazier,
Mrs. M. Cone and Miss Effie Eyer
of Tacoma, WASH, and Fred Eyer
of Manning, N. D.
The deceased was eighty-four
years old and was born in Berlin,
Germany, being eight years old
when he came to this country.
When Mr.. Eyer first came to
Dickinson buffalo hides were piled
up around the village like cord
wood. Another fact which will stir
the memories of all old timers of
this section is the connection OF
Mr.. Eyer with the DeMores packing
plant. He was likewise we'll ac-
quainted with Teddy Roosevelt and
bought many horses from him at
the old Maltese Cross ranch.
