announcement of his death was not
made until shortly after 3 p. m.
Death was due to diabetes and COM
pications.
Mr.. Mckenzie was taken to the
hospital Wednesday afternoon from
the Minnesota Club where he has
been making his residence this sum-
mer. His health has been failing for
two years but serious complications
did not set i'm until Tuesday.
Alexander Mckenzie came to North
Dakota in 1868 with Don Stevenson's
train, carrying supplies to Fort Rice.
There he was employed by the mill
tary authorities to carry important
dispatches to Fort Buford, passing
through country infested with hos
tile Indians.
He returned in 1872, then a young
man Of %, in connection with the
construction of the Northern Pacific
railroad, and during that summer had
charge of the track laying west of
Fargo. After the completion Of the
railroad to Bismarck in June, 1873.
he engaged in the manufacture Of
carhonated drinks.
After the organization of Burlelgh
county in 1873 and the election of of.
ficers in 1874, he was appointed
sheriff to fill the unexpired term
caused by the death of Sheriff Miller.
He was reelected in 1876 and there
after for ten years, when he refused
to become candidate for reelection.
He had brilliant and picturesque ca
reer as a sheriff, and made many rec
ords for the capture of criminals.
/ In 1882 he attended the session OF
the legislature at Yankton, and it
was through his persistent labor
that North Dakota gained it's set OF
territorial institutions, the peniten-
tiarys being located at Bismarck, the
agricultural college at Fargo and the
university at Grand Forks. This was
the foundation for the location OF
these institutions in the constitution
of the state, ~ r,u-.

is going to be elected to the United
States Senate, and candidacy is not
so much matter of an honorary po-
sition as is democratic. Of course,
Carl Riddick, the little republican
chicadee, who is now in congress, was
the first hopeful in the field. Carl
has the advantage of being there to
campaign at the expense of Uncle |
Sam and he is on the job all of the
time; he has written at least dozen
letters to every voter in the state. /
However, Carl can't get beyond the
joke stage in his campaign, although
sometimes the "joker" wins. Well
ington Rankin, attorney general OF
the state, who is now prosecuting
Conley and making himself famous
in the prison investigation a native
son, has been an active candidate
since he got out of his ronpers and
has since that time been impatiently
awaiting the time and the tide. Well
ington sets great store on his ances-
! try certain one Of whom was
| battle at some outlandish seaport. He
has the active support of such inf1u-
entail political fixers as Joe Pope, and
Commodore with Lord Nelson at some
others of that sort. Rankin tries to
make a noise like a progress, but he
keeps fatting his song. Since start
ing the Conley prosecution he often
gets his name in the headlines of the
dailies, which is some satisfaction
to Rankin, who thinks his name
makes a picture worthy of the Louvre.
With the assistance Of Joe Pope and
the personal popularity of his sister,
Miss Jeanette, who it is reported,
will make speaking tour through
the League territory and in the labor
centers in her brothers behalf Well
lington expects to cut the mustard.
There, however, is no Rankin senti-
nent to be found anywhere, and I'M
less Jeanette can turn the tide for
him, he is going to get an awful
drubbing. Sen. Johnny Edwards of
Rosebud county, who was prospec-
tive candidate for such long time,
cleared the water by announcing HIM
self out of it, and at the same time
Hon. Charles Pray of Great Falls,
announced himself, and the pictures
of Riddick on Main street commenced
to come down. Pray has many
friends. He was formerly in con-
gress for two terms and was defeat
ed for the United States Senate by
Henry L. Meyers in 1916. He is well
known and will about clean up on the
great "Bull Thrower." The "copper"
. crowd" is behind Pray and his candi-
dacy is surely formidable. Shortly
: after Pray announced his candidacy.

came out, and the friends of Carl

POLITICAL DOPE
By the Dopester

There are now four avowed candi~
dates for the nomination for the Of
flee of United States Senator on the
democratic ticket: namely, 3. i.
Wheeler, the noted Butte lawyer, VINO
runs this time as a regular Demo
crat and wants the world to know 1t,
in spite of his famous Hannah Jones
position which he took with so much
enthusiasm last year; Tom Stout, the
editor of the Lewistown Democrat,
who was in congress two terms frcm
this state: Judge O'Conner of Living
son, who has served for some time
as Judge of the district court, but
who is now one of Conley's lawyers:
and last but not least, Hugh Wells of
Miles City, ex-cowpuncher and ex-
Sheriff of Custer county and ex-Dem-
ocratic National committeeman. Be
sides rumor has it that there may be
others who may yet cast hats into
the ring.
Judge O'Connar was the first demo
crat to come out and it is claimed
that he has the support of the Con-
lev faction of the Democratic party
and the old original stand pat element.
The next to come was B. K. Wheeler,
who is widely known as a progress
siye. and announces his candidacy
upon a very progressive platform, but
9avs that it would be Political Sui
idle" to run with the League endorse
ment. even after he lead the League
into the, shambles on the Democratic
ticket at the last election. However,
B. K. Wheeler is known as square
shooter with leaning Of very pro
gressive nature, and it is claimed
that he has a perfect working with
ID. G. Dorman, who is known to fame
in this state as the National Mana
ger of the NoHpartisan League.
Tom Stout has host of friends and
seems to be the popular democratic
candidate in the central part of the
state. Stout does not have any par
ticular inclinations in politics, but
seems to be travelling with the cop
per crowd" who are to man behind
him. Copper expects to erase Wheeler
from the political horizon with Stout.
Tom has been coaxed by Wheeler to
stav out of the race, but Tom don't

Wheeler's old. Boyle of the Great
Falls Tribune was the clever gunner.
The simultaneous report seemed more
than a coincident. The latest entry,
Hugh Wells comes out in favor of the
primaries but stands for the repeal of
the Volstead act and favors the res
toration of light wines and beers.
Wells has the support of the Helena
independent. He won't cut much ice
in the campaign one way or the 9TH

K. R. CONTRACTS
 ITS REPAIR WORK
"NeW Haven" Takes Second Step
 in Fighting Strike

New Haven. July 7-The New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company made its second big move in fighting the strike yesterday when 1t contracted for the rebuilding of 5000 bad order freight cars with the Keith Car and Mfg. Co. of Sagamore. Mass, according to an announcement issued last night.
 The first move to offset the absence of shopEnen on strike was made when the company sent seven locomotives to the Baldwin Loco. Works yester- day afternoon.
 In explaining the action the com pany's statement said:
 This will help to provide equip ment 10 meet the requirement. of traf- hc. At various times in past years when bad order cars have increased beyond normal the excess have been sent to the Sagamore plant.
 There are q large number Of ad- ditional cars awaiting repairs so this will not affect the run ming of this company's shops on nor nal basis and the giving of contin- uance employment to those now in or may be taken in the employ of the company
 Tt Is the program of the company to give preference to its own shops in currently performing the normal amount of work"
 The company has issued no state ment on its attitude on the question of seniority rights of strikers.

ARMED WOMAN HOLD
 OFF STRIKE RAIDERS
Proves Heroine in Chicago Rail.
 road Disturbances

Chicago, July 7,-Chicago, in the last 94 hours experienced its first violence in connection with the strike mob of strikers and sym pathizers which included many women, attempted to burn the homes of two Illinois Central employees at Burnside who refused to join the walkout. Police dispersed the mob after Mrs, Julia Gebel, 59. wife of one Of the Illinois Central men, held the attackers at bay with a revolver.
 Picketing of railroad shops con tinned in numerous parts of the country and arrests were made.
 Trend Toward Peace.
 There was general impression in rail circles however that the trend of the strike was towards peace and hope was expressed that Mir, Jewell would be brought together with the labor boards two diplomats in mediation.
 Railroads continued to employ new work next week or forfeit seniority and pension rights stood effective.
 Strikers were reported at various points to be struggling back 10 the old jobs in uncertain numbers but these reports reflected no weakness in statements from union quarters.
 Says Strike Is Success.
 MT. Jewell reiterated that the strike was virtually 100 per cent effective.
 Jewell exhibited telegrams from womens auxiiaries of shops crafts organizations expressing support. He announced also the first systematic walkout by exhibiting messages in- forming him that 2,500 moulders em- ployed on railroads had joined the ranks of the strikers.
 A small number of shopmen em- ployed by the Chicago, Peoria and St, Louis railroad at Alton, H., returned to work.
 Striking shopmen of the Dakota dl- vision of the Great Northern offered to volunteer their services without pay in any case where loss Of life by wrecks or property by fire IS threat ened.

ARMY CAPT. SAVES
 PILOT AFTER FALL
Heroic Work Prevents Companion
 From Being Crushed

Mineola. L. l., July 7.-Captain Cas- sius H. Styles saved his companion and pilot, Lieutenant Dayton D. Wat son, from being crushed by wreckage when a De Haviland plane in which they had just taken off fell from height of about 20 feet The gaso- line tank and the engine were thrown out, covering Lieutenant Watson with mass of debris.
 The aviators had just left Mitchell field for a practice spin when pun of wind caught the tail of the afr plane and, turning it at an angie or about 50 degrees, shot the nose Into the earth. The center section of the plane collapsed as the engine and the gasoline tank fell out.
 Captain Styles was thrown forward on his face and severely cut on his chin and upper lip. He looked around to see Lieutenant Watson unconscious, pinned beneath the debris. Removing with difficulty the heavy parts of the plane from the chest and head Of the lieutenant, Captain Styles dragged his friend few feet from the wreck and collapsed in a faint.
 When the officers were taken to the Post hospital it was found that l Lieutenant Watson had suffered fracture of the upper and lower jaws and had had four teeth knocked out in addition to a number of bruises upon his chest and legs. Captain Styles face was badly cut and he was in a very weak condition, but is thought not to have any internal in- juries.
 Captain Styles and Lieutenant Wat son are experienced aviators with records of service in the World War. Lieutenant Watson recently returned from France field, Christobal in the Canal Zone, where he had been sta- toned for several months.
 It was said at the field last night that the accident probably was due to the tanning of the stick" as the rear control lever is called.

 State Has Hard Time Ahead

London, July !, (By Associated Press)-The provisional Irish free state government by its substantial victory over the insurgent republican forces in Dublin is believed to have taken a long step toward establish ment of itself firmly and bringing peace 10 Ireland,
 The ready response 10 the national call 10 arms is regarded as encouras- ing, and as further proof that most Irishmca are back of the new govern mcnt and opposed 10 the republic m extremists.
 Need Fullest Support
 Indications are not lacking how ever, that Michael Collins and his col leagues will need all the support they can get to put down the remaining resistance, which, according to reports from some correspondents in Dublin is of an important character.

 Many Troops Necessary,
 It Is predicted that the provisional government will need to enroll sol diers 10 the full strength allowed un- der the Ango-Irish treaty and then will have none too many for the job of rounding up the guerilla bands acting under orders of the republican headquarters.
 The arrival in Cork harbor last night of a small squadron of British warships, lends additional color to these reports as t is believed the ves- ses were sent in anticipation Of seri- ous trouble in that district and possi- hle attacks on the British naval sta tion there.
 Republican headquarters at Mallow Is issuing daily bulletins claiming that the irregulars are holding large areas and making rapid progress in several directions but there are no means of sitting these or other reports from the south and southwest owing to the of communication. This applies also to reports from practical ly all the provincial areas,
 The public is still kept guessing as to the whereabouts of Ramon De Val era The latest report published in today's Daily Mail says he spent last night at Brittas a hamlet II miles south of Dublin. with Austin Stack who IS commanding a flying column of irregulars in that district.

Soldiers on Duty at Pawtuxet Valley
 Strike Area to DiSband.

Providence, R. l., July 7.-The pro- visional company of the state militia, which has been on duty in the Paw tuxet valley since the blowing up of the Flat River reservoir dam, was yesterday ordered home.
