Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1892-02-26
HOT SPRINGS. SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2e

G. G.. Fargo went up to Deadwood
Tuesday to look after his extensive
business affairs at that thriving me-
tropolis.
Frank Stevens went to Hot Springs
yesterday to recurerate. He has had
a serious time with the grip and is very
much out of health.-HW City Tin
Miner.
j. l.. Denman came down from
Whitewood the first of the week to
look after his growing business at this
place. The STAR was favored with an
agreeable call from Mr.. Denman and
his efficient representative in the city,
Mr.. Thompson, on Monday. Mr.. Dem
man took the evening train Monday
for Omaha.
Will E. Thayer. brother of L. E. and
F. c., arrived from Chadron, Neb.,
last Friday, accompanied by his family
and will hereafter make this place his
home, and will reside in Mr.. Cush-
mans residence at corner of jennings
Ave. and Third street. The Thayer
boys mother will also make her home
with them hereafter.
J. D. Mcdonald was in from Wind
Cave Thursday and did not forget the
STAR in his calls about the city. Three
tally ho excursions have been made
to the cave during the week, and it is
expected that they will be continued
henceforth. Mr.. Mcdonald is build
ng hotel and making numerous i'm
provements at the cave.
Judge G. S. Palmer was at the
Springs Monday, en- route to his home
at Sioux Falls from Deadwood, where
he had been as attorney for Mrs Blaine
Jr. The Judge is a member of the
Soldiers Home board and made it a
point to look over the affairs at that
institution while here. He took in the
Gillespie party in the evening.
E. NJ. Herring, Of Bradley Flat, was
transacting business in the city the
fore part of the week and among other
interesting statements said that his
wheat crop last year averaged 40
bushels to the acre. This is indeed an
encouraging report and from the way
he was loading up farm machinery on
Monday we judge that he contem-
plates farming upon more extensive
scale this year.

accompanied by his wife, and F. E.

evening.
Il While other counties in the Hills
have volnly endeavored to round up
}; the seattle rustlers," who have been
J, having their own way for SO long,
Fall River comes to the front as the
banner county in dealing with the
thieves in summary manner. To
the officials who have brought about
this most desirable state of affairs, the
people will be thankful indeed. The
gang Of highway rustlers has been
greatly reduced, and those who are
still at large will doubtless make it a
point to steer clear of Fall River county.
1t will doubtless be observed that
changes have been made in the STAR,
as we'll as in some Of the "ad's." We
trust the new form Of the paper may
be acceptable to Its readers. Other
changes in the style of composition of
the advertisements will follow as soon
as we can attend to them. Although
we are not an entire stranger IN Hot
Springs we find that there are only a
few comparatively with whom we are
acquainted. We hope to soon meet
all, especially the business men. We
desire to know them all, and do busi-
ness with them. 1t was our intention
to call upon every business man in the
city during the week, but the work
devolvlng upon us incident to the
change has prevented. I'm account Of
t our slight acquaintance and extra
:. work it has also been difficult to CLEAN
the local items as closely as We other
i wise might, and as we intend to. We
$ trust that those knowing Of any items
