Alex Mckenzie Dies Thurs
day-..Buried at Bismarck

The lives and achievements of
MANY big man of the northwest
are dwarfed in comparison with the
life and achievements Of Alexander
McKensie who passed away Thurs.
day afternoon of last week at St,
Paul. He was buried Monday at
Bismarck, the city which owes 30
much to him and around which 50
much OF his activities in the past
had centered.
Mr., McKensie was one of the three
stockholders in the Stiles Cattle Co.
The only one of the three now left is
A. B. Cook Of Helena, Mont.
Among the old.timers in and
about Fort Yates are numbered many
acquaintances and personal friends of
Alex Mckensie, to whom the news
of his death comes as a severe shock.
AT the age Of 81 McKensie was
boss of a railway construction crew
from Fargo west; at 81 he was
Sheriff of Burleigh county, and at
81 he accomplished the supposedly
impossible removal of the territorial
capitol from Yankton to Bismarck
He was absolutely true to his
friends and his motto was "Once a
friend, always a friend". He ex.
pected his friends to sharply disagree
with him on some points, having no
place for "yes-yes-yes" individual
who was merely vest-pocket man.
Dozens Of cases can be named where
he helped old friends who had be-
come decrying enemies to the where
with-all for daily living. And in
scores Of cases he was restrained from
throwing out Of a4job an enemy be-
cause the fellow had an infrm wife,
or child or was himself dependent
upon his job. His sense Of pity and
his sense of gratitude was large.
As the political dictator of North
Dakota for so many years and be-
cauee of the important role that he
played In national politics, his enc.
mics were many. However, even
his enemies respected Alec McKensie
for the real man that he was.
