We are in receipt of q copy of the
Hot Springs Star containing the salu-
tatoYy of our old friend N. c. Nash as
publisher. MIR. Nash is we'll known IN
this part Of Dakota as the veteran pub
Usher of the Sioux Valley Ncws, Cam

The STAR returns thanks to the
Cascade p%Ostlnaster. G.. e.. Chambers
for a handsome apple, fully ripe, which
was grown in his orchard. This slcci-
men shows that fruit raising is a pro-
nounced success in Fall River county.
and the STAR hopes every farm or
ranch in the county will soon have an
orchard of we'll selected fruit trees.
The harder varieties should be select
ed, and then with proper care we can
not only raire enough for ourselves.
but can supply our more unfortunate
neighbors.
One of the most cowardly acts we
were ver called upon to chronicle, was
pcrpetrated last Sunday night in this
town. Some snealing villain killed
Mr.. O. Ferguson's most valuable horse
by stabbing it with a bowie knife.
The animal was valued at 5000, and the
cowardly cur who thus vented his spite
on IL dumb brute has the satisfaction
of knowing that he is the dirtiest cow
ard that e struck this country. The
rascal is suspected and if the fact can
he proven Il rope should be attached TO
his heels and he should be dragged
within an inch of his life.
Sanford Parker, Oelrichs popular
banker and w. ID. Mathews inspector

evening. Wednesday they went ia

He went SO Far as to purchase an out
