The Episcopal Church.

The Episcopal Church.
The initial service of the newly or
ganized Episcopal society was held in
the Presbyterian church on Sunday
evening. Every seat was occupied, and
the audience by their close attention
demonstrated their interest in, and APP
probation of, the exercises as a whole.
Rev. Mr.. Wand eerlin, the rector, preached
an able and interesting discourse. The
reverend gentleman has an easy, grace
full and somewhat rapid delivery, speak
ing forcibly and to the point. We be-
speak for him liberal support and
prophecy the unlimited success Of the
church under his administration.
The ADVERTISERS new job press will
be in this week, after which we will be
able to do all kinds of job printing at
the shortest possible notice. We lay the
flattering JUNCTION to our soul that this
Office can do the finest work of any office
in the Hills, in that particular line. Try
us once and We will prove it.

Messrs. Bitney, Comstock and Miller
while out on small hunting trip dis
covered a hole in the ground just back
of the brick yard, and like true sports
men Immediately prospected it, After
digging in about forty feet they I'M
earthed five young gray foxes about
three weeks old, which tley Gagged and
brought into town. A good ending to
the days sport.
j. H. Gale and George T. Payne have
formed co-partnership for the purpose
of doing all kinds of plastering and strc-
co work. They are experienced work
men and will guarantee all they do.
Their speciality is their stucco work,
which they claim is far superior in every
respect to ordinary plaster, aside from
its quality and cheapness. When in
need of anything OF the kind call on
Gale & Payne.
On Saturday, April 81, car contain
ing fourteen horses belonging to the
Desparios bridge outfit, while en- route
from Missouri Valley to Glenrock, Wy
oming, was discovered to be in flames
near Cody, small station sixty miles
east of Chadron After hard labor the
fire was extinguished, but NOT until
eight of the horses had burned to DEATH
The six remaining were in bad condi-
ton, but the veterinary surgeon now at
tending them thinks he can pull at least
five of them through. 1t is thought the
fire originated from sparks thrown from
the engine.
Yesterdays Rapid papers referring to
the celebration of the Goth anniversary
of Odd Fellows, seize the opportunity to
testify to the high order Of merit at
tanned by the Sturgis City brass band.
The band deserves all the tribute rem
dered, and is, without doubt, one Of the
best in the Hills. Pioneer.
The Pioneer should have said the best
band, etc. VIII that enterprising jour
nal please accept the amendment?
Travel between Deadwood and Sturgis
has, according to hack drivers, picked
up greatly in the last ten days. Seats
are at a premium, and it is probable an
increase of facilities will shortly prove
necessary. Pioneer.
The above is true, and we would add
that the travel is still increasing.
