The New era-leader. (Wagner, Charles Mix County, S.D.) 1911-1912, 1911-03-10

A photograph has been taken of
four members of the Legislature who
were connected with that body in the
first session after statehood. They |
are Lieutenant Governor Byrne, men,,
Der of the first senate; Senator Cone, |
chief clerk of the first house; and
Representatives John Wolzemuth of
Srearfsh, and Frank Trumbo of
Charles Mix county, members of the !,
first house.
Ralph Carper, who has been the :
driver on rural route No. 3 out Of |
Wagner since it's establishment, |
several years ago. has resigned and
will move with his family to Ross, |
Iowa, where he has rented a farm. |
Ralph is the last one of the three mail
carriers who startled when the routes
were established to quit. the othertwo
resigning some time ago.
Senator Morgan returned home from
attending the legislative session at
Pierre on Monday of this week. AL
though Mr.. Morgan and the writer
di fer in political belief, we are free
to say that he made a good represent
alive for Charles Mix county in the
upper house. Senator Morgan is too
broad and conservative to be found
wanting while representing his con-
tituency.
DR.. R. P. Frink had a serios &C.
cident with his Ford auto on Friday of
last week. While leaving town to
make a call in the country one of the
wheels went down, turning the ma
chine turtle and throw ing the doctor
out. 1t so happened that he was
thro Un far enough so that the car did
not strike him in overturning. and he
escaped practically u%ninjured, but the
machine was badly damaged.
Through an oversight we failed
last week to m-ntion thu change in
proprietors of the meat market. A
deal was made some time ago whereby
T. J. Harvey, who has been The own
err of the market for several years,
disposed of it to v. j. Petrek, who as
sumed possession March first. Mr..
Petrek is we'll known to the people of
Wagner and it goes without saying
that he will give his customers the
same good service that has alwas been
given the people.
A deal was consumated last week
whereby the A. McKenna Hardware
Co. disposed of their hardware bust
ness to A. C. Knight, who took poses
sion the first of March. Mr.. McKen-
ma retains the implement business
which he will conduct in the future
alone. Mr.. Knight is no stranger to
the people of Wagner and vicinity and
steps into the new role like an old
timer. This paper wishes all parties
concerned success.
Two years ago a bill went through
which allowed the court to be held at
other than county seat towns when
the county seat was more than three
miles from a railroad. The bill just
passed by the house, which went
through the senate some time ago, in
creases that limit to six miles, and
lets Hutchinson county outside it's
provisions and cuts out the court
privileges which have been enjoyed by
Parkston and Memo for the past two
years.
w ID. Valentine and M. A. Harvey
loade,. seven cars of Immigrant goods
first of the week and shipped to Judith
Basin, Mont, where they will go onto
the farms they bought last fall.
They took, besides their household
goods and farm m -";nery, % head of
horses and mules and a large Hart
Parr traction engine, which is god
indication that they will farm on q
large scale. The many friends of
these estimable families hope that the
best of success and prosperity will at.
tend them IN their new homes.
Hon. Frank Trumbo arrived home
from Pierre Monday where he had re-
presented Charles Mix county in the
house of representatives. Mrs. Trum.
DO, who had been spending severa'
days with her husband at the capitol,
returned home Saturday. Represen'

in the lower house and has performed
