The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1897-03-05


agents of the insurance compdn-
les have been in the city during
the week adjusting and settling
the fire losses, and a number of
these have been promptly and
satisfactorily adjusted.
Andy Lindquist, of Wilmot,
was a visitor at Milbank the first
of the week. Andy has been
spending some time at Pierre,
and although a populist, he re-
joices in the election of Kyle.
He was a witness of the stirring
scenes ON the day of the election,
and speaks in the most compli-
mentary terms of the splendidly
united manner in which the re-
publicans pulled Kyle through,
in spite Of the sinkers.
The sidetracks and main track
for a mile or more at the depot
were covered with freight trains
Tuesday on their way west, as
the road had been opened, and a
desperate effort was being made
to push the freight that had been
accumulating for the past two or
three weeks to it's destination.
The road was again blocked
Wednesday, as it takes but a
slight wind to fill up the cuts be-
tween the high snow banks on
either side of the track.
By diligent search among the
ruins of the fire last Friday a
few additional pieces of the body
Of Andrew Wig, the man who
was burned to death in the fire
last week were found. The re
mains were taken to the ceme-
terry and given burial Wednes-
day by Undertaken Emanuel.
Rev. Williams accompanied the
remains to the cemetery and of
fered prayer as the remnants OF
mortality were placed in the
earth.
Charley Sutcliff is an enthu-
siastic worker in the interest OF
the A. 0. u. W., and does not con
fine his efforts to his own partic-
ular lodge. He has recently
been doing some work for the
Wilmot and Sisseton lodges, and
secured respectable roll of new
members for each of these
lodges. Charley has also been
a hard worker in building up the
membership Of the order in Mil
bank, and the members of Sc
curity lodge to show their recog-
milton of his services in this line
recently presented him with a
handsome and valuable gold ring
as testimonial Of his unselfish
efforts in behalf of the order.
A subscription paper has been
started by a number of citizens
in behalf of Miss Hattie Malish
and her mother, who lost their
all in the fire Of last week. The
fund is to enable the lady to get
another start in the restaurant
business in which she was en-
gagged when the disaster over
took her. The contributions
have been Of a very liberal char
acter, and we understand quite
a fund has been raised. Those
interested wish to thank particu-
larly the large number Of farm
ers who have contributed to
swell the amount which is being
raised for this very laudable
purpose.
The unfaltering faith of the
business men Of Milbank in the
stability and prosperity of the
city is evidenced by the actions
of those who recently suffered
misfortune in the fire, and their
determination to get into busi-
ness shape as soon as possible.
Mr.. n. J. Bleser, the druggist,
is one of these, and he immedi-
ately upon his return to the city,
being absent at the time of the
disaster, set to work to get his
business again in running order.
He has secured the corner build
ing formerly occupied as Wal
pert's clothing store and in few
days will have his store in sue
cessful operation. His friends
and natrnnS are cordially invited
