Mrs. George Ferguson was in
the city Saturday and reported that
A. r. Ferguson, who has been at the
Pierre hospital for several weeks, is
no better, and that he is suffering
from softening of the brain. The
management of the hospital have
notified the family that they can do
nothing for him and that be must
be removed. 1t is understood that
he will be brought to De Smet and
that the family will be established
in the E. S. Davis residence.
Judge Julian Bennett, of the
Third judicial circuit, died at his
home at WATERFOWL Friday of last
week of heart failure. In the death
of Judge Bennett South Dakota
loses n of the best circuit judges
that ever sat on the bench. Judge
Bennett was twice elected to that
position and was the nominee of the
democratic party for the third term.
He was a popular man throughout
the circuit, and il was due to his
personal popularity hat he was
twice successful at the polls. The
funeral was held Sunday. at Water
town and was attended by a large
number of prominent men from all
parts of the state.
1T is to be hoped that the G.. &
NV. will be able TO relay all their
track in this section with the heavier
steel this fall. The heavy steel has
reached Iroquois from the west aud
is now being laid from Arlington
this way. We understand about TWEEN
ty miles west from Arlington is assur-
ed, which will bring the heavy steel
up to about #. N. BOWS pasture, but
that will still leave a gap of about
eighteen miles. 1t there is sufficient
time it is reported that the balance
will be laid. The new steel is much
heavier, makes the track much
.pleasanter to ride over aud allows
time to be made with the
heavy engines. At present the G..
. NV. is running a number of
pig locomotives on this division,
but the track is not heavy enough to
allow the S5-ton engines to run here,
except in cases of emergency.
Tuesday was the birthday of
Morris, the founder of the
