Mr.. and Mrs. John Saba arrived
from Atkins, Iowa. last week for a
visit with their daughter, Mrs. Sam
Jones, living south of Lake Preston,
and with their son George living south
west of De Smet. Mrs. Saba is in
very poor health and her physician
recommended that she spend the
winter in this state. John intended
to return to Iowa after a few days.
&C. A. Green, for many years a
resident of this vicinity, but now liv-
ing on a claim north of Wasta, is
visiting friends in this locality. He
will depart for his home the latter
part of this week or the first of next.
G. A thinks we'll of that section of the
state and says that he is doing well,
as are all the other former Kingsbury
county people in that locality, among
whom are the j. S. Roberts. Corners,
and Pullins families.
Arlington is to have another
creamery. Parties from Huron have
decided to locate there and operate
a creamery and ice cream factory. 1t
is not very long ago that al old
creamery building was sold at Airing
ton under process of law. At one
time the creamery at that place was
fairly we'll patronized, but abundant
crops and high prices put it out of
business, and the same causes brought
the same result at many other places
in the state. Here in De Smet we
had one of the largest creameries in
the state. 1t was only equaled by
one or two institutions. Today ii is
run by private parties and just barely
pays operating expenses. Conditions
would be not quite so bad if it were
not for the fact hat some insist on
shipping cream to the detriment of
the local plant, and at the same time
securing the advantage of several
cents per pound on butter fat because
of the existence of the very institution
they refuse to patronize. But, as we
have said several times before, the
towns and communities that have
killed off the local creameries will all
want them again.
Chief of Police Kary arrested a
man last evening who answered the
description of one of the fellows who
robbed the mail pouch at Worthwhile
a couple of weeks ago. He is held in
jail here pending the arr;.al ef
authorities who are after the fellow.
1t is figured that he had two com
panions al the G.. a. N. w. depot,
where he was arrested, but they could
not be located after that time.-Times
The man referred to above was
brought to De Smet and lodged in
the county Jail to await the arrival of
the sheriff of Beadle county, a detec-
tive of the railroad company. and
!aSir agent Mr.. foote. lhe gentle
men came Friday and found the man
answered the description of the party
wanted in every particular except as
to height, which was about two inches
short. Very little could be got from
him as he seemed determined not to
talk too much. The man is supposed
to be "Big Mike" a notorious crook,
and the Huron people have a strong
suspicion that the man had some con-
nec.ion with the murder of Policeman
Hawley in that city just before the
state fairin September, although there
are no definite developments in that re.
spect as yet. Sheriff Huntley took
the man to Huron FRIDAY night.
