veterinarians can do much TO prevent
the spread of consumption among hui

that disease germs are transmitted

known that the railway was TO build
a bridge which would take the bust

the building of a new city where the
river was spanned.

While Clenham received many OF
the Evarts people with open arms. the
greater majority went to Mobridge.
for they declared they saw greater
possibilities there because business
could be more easily transferred from
Evarts to Mobridge.
SO II you should happen to be In
the vicinity of Mobridge. ask the post
master. the man at the wharf. the sta
ton agent at the depot or almost any
body the road to where Evarts once
was and take jaunt down that way.

will be repaid for the stroll. Mo

perhaps poorer, accepts them for a

Western hospitality, tradition,
which is told In fiction works and
which actually exists. is one Of the
first themes OF Mobridge and the
stranger, poor or wealthy, is just as
sure of welcome under Mobridge roofs
as he would be under his own. OF
course there are cattle rustlers in
that part of South Dakota, but thanks
to real western COW tactics. they are

bridge. received most OF the Evarts
people. When everybody had left, the
railroad tore down it's depot, great
gangs OF men jerked the tracks from
their cedar ties and the short line
from Aberdeen was a thing of the
past.
Across the barren plains between
Aberdeen and Evarts millions upon
millions OF cattle of every description
had been carted in great long freight
cars to be eventually disposed of in
Chicago, Milwaukee, st. Louis, New
York, Buffalo and In fact all OF the
big eastern marts of trade. On August
l, 1908, came the official ending of the
town. All its books were closed on
that date; its employees were officially
dismissed then and their salaries to
that time were paid them, although
most of the public officials and their
families had left Evarts several weeks,
some OF them months before.
The casual observer, perhaps in
launch may go up to the landing at
the center OF the town and there tie
his craft for tour of inspection, but
his efforts to unearth the mysterious
about what was once Evarts will be
fruitless, for everything of any value
whatsoever has been carried away
and scarcely a stick of wood was left
by the economical natives, who now
call themselves citizens OF other
South Dakota villages.
Scores of towns have suffered the
same experience which befell Evarts,
but An,.,-, -ter's passage to oblivion
was perhaps more sudden, more spec
tacular and more regretted than any
which have got into the public prints
in decade or more.
