Sturgis advertiser. (Sturgis, Dakota [S.D.]) 1887-1???, 1889-08-01
Chairman Lawrence County Board

A genuine, old-time sjour," printer
struck this Office last Thursday morning
whom we knew twelve years ago. His
name is l. R. Busby and he.is undoubt-
edly the greatest travelling manipulation
of the silent messengers of thought now
living. For forty years he has. travelled
over this continent and, as consequence
has an experience alongside Of which
that Of Phineas Fogg is an airy nothing
ness. The eColonel," as he is called,
had just returned from an excursion" to
Salt Lake, via Spokane and Helena, and
was in the Judith basin country at the
time of the murder of the five people
found there short time ago and saw
one of the bodies--a woman. We had
not seen the Colonel for twelve long
years, as we have before stated, but he
looked at least ten years younger. He,
like many of the itinerant disciples Of
the art preservative, has never been
troubled with constitutional prohibition
and as result is living example Of the
failure of prohibition and the unqualified
success of the free whisky movement.
In fact, the more free whisky moves the
better he likes it. The colonel is now
enjoying pleasure jaunt'' eastward.
The Deadwood Touring mill has been
sold to new company, recently formed,
in Rapid City, and will be torn down
and moved to the latter place immedi-
ately. w. A. Wager, the well known
manager of the mill in Deadwood, will
also move to Rapid to take charge of the
new concern. This step was necessary
as the extreme distance from all agricul-
tural sections of the Hills and the build
ing of mills at Tilford, Sturgis and
Whitewood, in conjunction with the old
established ones of Minnesota, Spearfish
and Rapid, made it entirely useless to
keep the property in its present location
as farmers would not make the long,
tedious mountain journey to sell their
wheat at the same prices they would re-
ceive at this and other valley points.
A very elaborate interview appeared
in the Minneapolis Tribune of a week ago
with the president of the American
Building and Loan association. In
nearly column that officer tells how
people can make skads Of money by in
vesting in the stock Of the concern. In
speaking of its financial responsibility
the s'boss' says: ''No one need be
alarmed. We have applications for three
times the amount of money at our COM
mand. Every thing is running as smooth
as possible The Sturgis contingent is
of the opinion there is cause for alarm
and as consequence have quit putting
up for this outside combination.
Messrs. Davenport and Charles King,
with their families and a colored cook
to make an overland trip to
Hot Springs where they viii spend a
few weeks recuperating their appetites
and health. They will go via Hill City,
Custer and other country points and try
their hands at fishing, hunting and may
be prospecting while en- route. They
viii supply themselves with complete
camping outfit before starting and expect
to have an elegant time. They viii,
perhaps, leave Saturday.
The ADVERTISER has been selected by
the war department, at Washington, as
the official advertising medium for this
section. In another column viii be
found q call for proposals for the fur
nishing Of ninety three cavalry horses to
