clared to his pastor that he felt that
all was we'll with him, that he had faith
in his Savior, and were it not for that
faith, he said, "What would I do?" He
was great sufferer during the past
several months-much more SO than
he would let his friends know-and
death came to him as Q welcome relief,
peacefully passing away, surrounded
by his wife, daughter, Mrs. H. d. CLARK,
and son, John.
The funeral services were conducted
from the family residence Tuesday
afternoon at 3 O'Clock, Rev. DR.. Morris
speaking words of hope and comfort to
the bereaved ones, after which the
Masonic lodge, of which deceased was
q member, conducted their beautiful
ritualistic services, both at the home
and the grave. The remains we're fol-
lowed to their last resting place in
Evergreen cemetery by one of the
largest concourses that ever gathered
in Hot Springs, and all that was mortal
Of the noble hearted pioneer of the
Hills, the proud inspirer of large en-
terprises and public-spirited citizen Of
Hot Springs, was laid at rest just as
the beautiful autumn sun was sinking
over the hilltop. Friends from over
the entire northwest unite in extend
ing to the bereaved ones their sincere
sympathy.
A large part of Mr.. Evans life was
spent in Sioux City, where he was in
timately known and had many friends.
The Sioux City Journal gave the fol-
lowing interesting sketch of his life:
"Mr. Evans was respected and re-
vered during these last days of his life
but his old neighbors understood that
his days Of activity were over. But
even two months ago his mind was
busy with large deals. He owned an
interest in some valuable mineral land
at Lead and he was figuring on how he
would dispose of that. One day he
was given q ride in an automobile and
Immediately he began to talk about
putting in an auto line between Hot
Springs and Wind Cave.
"But these we're the days of his
weakness. A few years before he was
the most prominent promoter Of South
Dakota and his wealth was oatimated
at a million or more.
"Hot Springs always will stand a
monument to his energy and faith in
the Black Hills. When Mr.. Evans
just had got the place we'll established
as health resort, his hotel, the old
Minnekahta house, burned. Within
twenty -four hours plans were being
drawn for the Evans, which today is
one of the finest hotels in the north
west He built the hotel and the Min
nekahta block of business houses, the
great plunge bath, the Hot Springs no.
tel, and the Evans bath house, and was
at the head of every public enterprise
of the town. 1t was he who induced
the Burlington and Elkhorn railroads
to Hot Springs.
"Upon the financial failure of Mr..
Evans at the time of the general crash
of 1893, his children scattered. Today
Fred 7. Evans, jr., is in Seattle; Mrs.
Ella Evans Clark, wife of Harry d.
Clark, is at Hot Springs; Frank Evans
is in Central America and John Evans,
who recently returned from Dawson
City, is at home.
"In the early days Mr.. Evans was
known in Sioux City and the north
west as Big Fred Evans. His COM

DEATH OF F. 7. EVANS
Tho Largo. Hearted, Enthusils lstic Friend
and Promoter Of Hot Springs
10 Gone.

Though not unexpected, when the
news was given out last Saturday after
noon that Fred T. Evans, ST., had died
attwo o'clock, there was general sigh
of sadness. Mr.. Evans had been a
resident of Hot Springs since about
1887, though he became one of the
principal stockholders of the Dakota
Hot Springs Company considerably
before that time. He became so infat-
uated with the place, and he saw such
opportunities here that his enthusiastic
and energetic nature would not permit
him to remain away. From the mo-
ment he became resident he began
doing things and never ceased plan
ming and doing until death removed
him. As monument to his great and
dndomitable courage and enterprise we
have the magnificent Evans hotel,
and other beautiful and expensive
blocks. Since his failing health of the
re4t few years has kept him from do
isss large things he has at the same
time been busy looking after his or
6 hard below town and even during the
past two months has built the Evans
Mineral Mud Bath, near the court
house, an institution that is already
proving success. Had not the finan-
DIAL panic handicapped him q few years
ago Hot Springs would have been even
further advanced as popular health
resort than it is today. His was a
most pronounced optimistic nature.
He always had the utmost faith in the
future of the place. He had set his
heart on making it one of the leading
resorts of the country and he would
not give it up.
He was a wonderful worker in his
earlier life, of giant stature and
strength, full Of vigor and energy. It
is told of him that he would always be
satisfied with men in his employ If any
two of them would do as much work
as he. His was truly life of adven.
ture and great accomplishm ents. aIn
his forceful way and great desire to do
things and have things move as he
willed he naturally often met with op.
position in his human endeavors, and
contentious would arise over local af-
/ fairs, but as is always the case, with
rivalry and contentious there came
warm hearted and true friendships
But as the years have passed by and
Mr.. Evans larger interests were dis.
posed of, his natural large -heartedness
forgiving spirit and kindly nature be-
came more prominent. In fact he hat
always been generous in giving to all
causes and enterprises that he consid
cred helpful to the town and to hu
manity.

of this life did not make any religion.

ago, however, after ill-health and mis-
fortune had overtaken him, he ex
pressed a desire to know more of tn,
bible and that he wanted to be Chris
tian. Mr.. Evans was no hypocrite; b,
was never afraid to declare himself up
on anything, and SO it was upon re
Ngious matters. He became an en-
thusiastic Christian and afterward
4 united with the Methodist church, liv
