City Saturday.
WAS ILL FIVE WEEKS
Remains Shipped to His Old
Home at Aberdeen For Bur-
ial--Funeral Tuesday.

After five weeks illness, Orvil!e
Gard finally succumbed to the grim
reaper Saturday, May 18th, at 1:l5 p.
m.. at his home in this CITY, tho imme-
diate cause of his death being kidney
trouble. The remains we're prepared
for shipment and Saturday morning
accompanied by his wife and father
we're shipped to his old home at Aber-
deem for burial.
The deceased was born In Muscatine
county, Iowa, May 10th, 1875. His
early life was spent at Muscatine, at
which place he finished his common
school education. In 1896 he moved
with his parents to Aberdeen, this
state, and entering one of the colleges
there was graduated with high honors.
Shortly after leaving school he was
married to Miss Eta Darling, class
mate.
For a number of years he was en-
gagged in the theatrical business but
the continuous travelling finally i'm.
paired his health to such an extent
that five years ago he came to Hot
Springs for treatment. He derived q
great deal of benefit and securing q
position as clerk at the Evans decided
to locate here. Later he accepted q
position as secretary to the command
ant at the State Home, which he held
until about year ago.
Since that time, however, he has been
failing and was unable to withstand
the lust attack. He was member Of
the knights of Pythias and also of the
Redmen, which organizations had
charge of the funeral services Tuesday
afternoon at Aberdeen.
His wife and his aged father are the
only near relatives left to mourn his
loss.

PROOFS FILED
$4,000 Acres Proved Up On
In This County.
5s2 FINAL PROOFS
Increased Taxable Valuation Of
About $25O,O0O--Added
Revenue For County.

There is an old adage the substance
Of which is "facts and figures don't
lie." A few facts and figures regard
ing the number of acres of land in Fall
River county homesteaded of recent
years and on which final proof has been
made to thou. s. Land Office at Rapid
City, shows how fast this section of
Dakota is being taken by settlers.
From May lst. 1910 to May LIST, 1911,
five hundred and ninety-two final
proofs we're made on total of seventy
four thousand acres of land in Fall
River county. This means an increas-
ed valuation for the year 1911 of the
county's taxable property of about
e250,O00.0O. From this the county will
derive an increased revenue of between
ss,000.00 and 100000.
The total valuation for the year 1910
was s2,S4O,l74.00 and the total amount
of taxes now being paid including
city and township tax, state tax, county
tax, school district tax and miscellane-
Gus, is s134,673 81.
Regarding the number of final
proofs, this year is only an average
with the past four or five years, and
besides in majority of the cases the
land has been taken by people who
are developing it and intend to make
to make this section their furture
home.
! In the organized townships an ac.
curate estimate of the amount of land
On which final proofs were made is as
follows: Smithwick 448O; Robins 374O;
Harmony 5000; Beaver 1920; Argentine
480. The remaining acreage of the
grand total is in the unorganized dist.
riots. The above figures regarding the
the final proofs we're secured thru the
kindness of Auditor Tiernan after he
had received them from the land office
in order that the assessors at this time
might become posted on the taxa BILE
property in their respective districts.
