BURLEIGH PIONEER SUCCUMBS IN CITY Diabetes Fatal to Andrew John- son, 79, A Resident of County For 50 Years Andrew Johnson, 79, who first came to North Dakota nearly 50 years ago, died here Thursday morning from the complications of diabetes.

Eight years ago, he retired from ac- tive life and moved to Bismarck.
