The Hot Springs star. (Hot Spings [Hot Springs], Dakota [Dakota Territory, i.e. S.D.]) 1886-189?, 1888-01-13

II. NJ. Sproul, the gentlemanly and
rustling station agent at llermosa,
came in on yesterday coach and will
take much needed rest of "a week or
more at the Springs. Mr.. Sproul is
one of the best men on the line, always
working assidiously and devote,lly for
the interests of his company, and we
look for his early promotion to IL more
lucrative and responsible position.
