Injured by a Torpedo.

Last Tuesday while on his engine
with the work train on the G. " N. w.
railway south of Buffalo Gap, Engineer
A. E. Oebert threw wrench he had
been using into box behind his seat
in the cab. 1t happened that one of
the torpedos used by the train crew
was in the box and when struck by the
wrench exploded and piece of the
metal wrapping struck hin, cutting a
g ash to the bone on his right fore arm.
The railroad officials we're notified here
that the man was bleeding to death and
they immediately sent the engine and
coach, carrying DIR. Hargens the rail.
road physician, to the Gap. The run
was made in twenty minutes and i'm
mediately the injured man was attend
ed and brought to this city and taken
to the Hargens' hospital where he is
receiving every possible attention. A
piece Of metal was extracted from the
arm and small artery was severed.
causing a great loss of blood. He is
reported as getting along nicely at
present writing and will soon be all
right.

School Children at the Postoffice.

Now that school has again opened
the postofflce will be seriously besieg.
ed unless parents have some under.
standing with their children regarding
their mail. 1t seems to be great de-
light for the young folks to call fol-
their mail every time they pass the
postoffice, and then if the other mem.
bers of the family call also it makes it
very annoying for the clerica! force at
the postoff1ce as we'll as an unnecessary
amount of labor-and surely the post
office in Hot Springs has plenty to do.
TO each inquirer for mail the matter
seems trifling aud looks like no trouble,
but with few hundred children
running into the postoff1ce whenever
they are conveniently near it becomes
a serious burden and the postmaster
urges parents to have an understand
ing with their children as to which one
of them shall get the mail and have
them informed that there are no mails
arrive afternoons, unless they are
delayed. Parents are not to blame for
the annoyance that has thus prevailed
for years, for they have probably not
known of it, nor are the younger child
ren, for it is mere matter of enjoy
ment for them But by interesting
themselves in this parents will do a
great favor to the pos Office force and
have their everlasting gratitude.
This reference is made only to those
who receive mail at the general deliv.
cry window, for those who have boxes
can see for themselves when they have
mail

Bishop stariha's Residence.

The Rt Rev. Bishop Stariha has
gone to Hot Springs, where he will
make his home permanently. His
household goods we're all shipped
Wednesday and he will be settled in
his new home within the next week.
The bishop is much pleased with his
location and is sure that the change
will be very beneficial to him. Bishop
Stariha came to Lead as bishop of this
diocese three years ago and has made
this his official residence ever since.
The climate, however, did not agree
with him and he was obliged to seek q
lower altitude. The bishop will be in
Lead hereafter on the occasion of all
the principal feasts, such as Christmas,
Easter, etc.-Pioneer Times.

HOT SPRINGS SOUTH DAKOTA, FRIDAY SEPTEMBER 1906
sTUCCo PLANT DESTROYED.
Fire Wipes Away the Plaster Co.
Property Early Sunday Morning.

Property Early Sunday Morning.
At little after midnight Saturday
the fire alarm routed people out to find
that the Hot Springs Plaster Co. mill
was on fire, and too far gone to be
saved, as it is outside the Gre limits
and no water available excepting
through a bucket brigade. 1t was
therefore but q few moments after its
discovery that the entire building was
mass Of flames, making q tremend-
ously hot and fierce fire.
The origin Of the fire is not known.
There had been no fire in the building
as the mill had not been running for
three days, and the flre started in the
retarder room. which was at the
opposite end of the building from the
engine room. The night watchman
was in the engine room when the are
started aud first observed the build
ing filling with smoke, and upon in
vesti9atiun the retarder room and all
about it was q mass of flames.
There was no insurance carried upon
the property, which was valued at
about $1,000, while the material, sacks,
etc, on the inside was worth about
$1,000.
The building was owned by the Hot
Springs Plaster Co., and had just been
leased to the United States Plaster Co.
for term of five years, the latter
having taken possession day or two
previous to the fire.
The mil, Was Duilt ia 1892 by L. T.
Evans and proved good investment.
1t was later acquired by G. N. Miner
and purchased by j. M. Brelsford in
1900, and Geo. stoddard afterwards
purchased controlling interest of the
Brelsford estate, Mr.. Stoddard still
owing controlling interest. Ii was
in this property that the circuit court
had recently decided that DR.. Jennings
was entitled to an interest from the
Brelsford estate. The plant had a
of turning out 40 tons Of
stucoo plaster in eleven hours, and with
an unlimited supply of the finest
gypsum in the world at the very door
of the mill it was considered one of the
most desirable plaster manufacturing
industries in the west.
Owing to the fact that the U. s.,
Gypsum Co. had just closed lease
for the property, and other complica-
tions, it is not yet known whether the
property will soon be rebuilt or not.
It is a big loss to Hot Springs, as a
number of men we're almost continu.
ously employed, and the fame of Hot
Springs Hard Wall Plaster had become
widespread.
