Hot Springs weekly star. (Hot Springs, S.D.) 1892-1917, 1895-02-01

Deputy U. s. Marshal Andrew Bray
came down from the upper Hills via
the B. & M. Monday where he has
been serving subpenas for jurors for
the next term of U. S. court at Dead
wood. He attended to that business in
this city and went out to the Rosebud
agency last evening.
We understand the boys on the b. &
M. are promised a little more work by
next Sunday. The stub train is ex
pected to make two trips in the morn
ing to meet the north and south bound
trains. This will obviate the three
hours wait of passengers going to the
upper hills at Minnekahta.
David Johnson, the engineer at the
Evans, has not given up his idea of
bringing in a herd of donkeys for the
use of guests next summer, and as soon
as the weather permits he will go to
Colorado and buy a herd of about
twenty and drive them through, thus
saving freight, which would cost more
than the donkeys.
A. b. MUTT is here selling George
Pomeroy his opening stock of groceries.
He attended the meeting of the gun
ners at Chadron Thursday night and
says they have formulated some great
plans for stocking Horseshoe lake with
fish and making it a game preserve.
He and DIR. Hargens and the writer are
the only members so far heard from
from Hot Springs.
We were handed a leaflet today in
forming us that DIR. Marden's new
book "Pushing to the Front" is before
the public and the press notices and
opinions of eminent literary men stamp
it as a work of great merit and inspira.
ton to every one who reads it. We
should be glad to hear of it having an
extended sale and know most of the
doctors friends in Hot Springs would
be glad to read it.
1t is reported that our stone IN
tractors, Wesch & Oak, have lost
on their Sheridan contract and will
come home out of pocket. We sincere.
~ hope the report is not true, but that
they may be we'll repaid for their hard
work. They are unsurpassed as
builders of stone buildings as their
work in this city will show. They are
expected home with their men the
latter part of this week.
The old soldier, Maj. Thiemann, OF
whose wonderful military record we
some time ago made mention when he
was a guest of the soldiers home al
this place, died at Valentine, Neb. a
few days ago as a tramp. When it was
found out what services he had per.
formed for this country, the authori-
ties were telegraphed to and an order
was sent back to bury him with the
honors of a The officers and sol
diers of Ft. Niobrara gave the war.
Scared old hero a fitting burial.
Several persons have called our at.
tention to the fact that some one is
guilty of ali act of great inhumanity to
a bunch of calves that are penned up
in a corral down along the river about
half way between here and the Falls.
Our informants say they are penned
up without a bite of anything to eat in
sight and three or four of them have
died from cold and starvation in the
last few days. If the reports are true,
the owner, whoever he may be, should
be compelled to change places with one
of the calves for a while.
I'VE are just in receipt of a belated
Communication from a patron of the
Star at w G fiat containing the an
nouncement of the marriage, at the

Tice is an old resident of this county,
