CARS RETURN FROM SPRINGS

Pioneer Times: With little difficulty
the remaining autos and motorcycles
that took the sociability run to Hot
Springs last Saturday, returned home
yesterday. But one car, that Of R.
Flanders, had any mishap, break in
the machinery occurring near Custer,
forcing the occupants to come by rail
and the car to be shipped here.
Each member Of the party is warm in
praise of the trip and the reception &C.
corded the travellers at Hill City, Custer
and Sylvan Lake. A number of the
cars went to the Lake late Monday after
noon and spent Monday night there, the
others leaving the Springs yesterday
morning about O'Clock and spending a
short time at the Lake on the return
home.
Coming back lunch was taken at Hill
City and not only was the food thor
oughly relished, but the cordiality of
the citizens did much to make the trip a
pleasant one. On the way down a salute
of twenty.one guns was fred as the
autos entered town and all the whistles
were blown.
The members of the party greatly ap.
preciated the efforts of William Lovett
of Custer who piloted the cars from Hill
City through to the Springs and did
everything in his power to aid them.
Custer citizens, too we're not back ward
about making the northern Hills men
feel at home.
The roads were in even better shape
on the return trip than they were going
down. Here and there the rains had
left mud spots in depressions, which
bothered A. E. Bailie and Phil Schoen.
berger who rode motorcycles, but the
cars went through easily. The rain
seemed to have made the majority OF
the road in frmer and better shape
than before.

CUSTER CITY. SOUTH SATURDAY. AUGUST
TIE kH1rnRT INCEST CASE.

Hermosa, 3. D., Aug. 20.-On the
evening of August 10Th, Mabel Keifer
was placed under arrest by Deputy
Sheriff Paul d. McClelland, on q warrant
issued from Justice Bakers court, or
application of States Attorney Sellers.
The girl was intending to leave on the
evenings train for Milwaukee, and bel
presence was considered necessary In
the prosecution of Henry Keifert, now
in the county Jail, charged with the
crime of incest with this daughter Mabel
Keifert. Following the arrest the girl
was taken before Justice Baker, who
placed her under bond to appear at the
next term of the Circuit court. Being
unable to furnish bonds she was re-
manded to the custody of the sheriff
and the next day taken to Custer City,
where she is now in Jail.
The Keifert case has caused consider
able comment in the community in view
Of the seriousness of the charge, and the
peculiar actions of the main witnesses
since the arrest Of Henry Keifert Kei-
fert was arrested on complaint of his
wife, Kate keifert, on the 10th day of
July. At the preliminary examination
before Justice Baker, Mabel Keifert told
a positive story on the witness stand of
her relations with her father Henry
keifert. Her testimony could not be
shaken by any cross-examination on the
part of the defendant. Keifsrt was held
to the Circuit court and his bond fixed
at $5,000.00. Failing to furnish these,
he was placed in Jail at Custer City.
About one week afterward he wrote to
his wife begging her to come and see
him. Mrs. Keifert went to Custer City
and wished to have the case dismissed.
The actions of Mrs. Keifert caused
States Attorney Sellers to suspicion that
some new developments might be ex-
pected and he went to Hermosa to inter-
view the girl, Mabel Keifert, before her
mother returned from Custer City. In
this interview, the girl not only repeat
ed her former charges as told on the
witness stand, but added other evidence.
She stated that she would have to tell
the truth even if it was against her
parents. Mrs. Keifert, upon her return
home, took the girl over to Custer City
and again attempted to have the case
settled and Henry Keifert turned loose,
giving this time as a reason that the
girl had testified falsely at the prelimi-
nary examination, the guilty party be-
ing comparative stranger. The States
Attorney informed her that he could do
nothing for Keifert at this time and that
the case whould have to come up at the
next term of court. Upon the return Of
Mrs. Keifert and daughter from Custer
City. arrangements were made to send
Mabel to Milwaukee. The States Attor-
ney hearing of this action, promptly
had the girl arrested and placed under
bonds for appearance.
The story then told by the girl was 30
clearly improbable and apparently re-
hearsed, the States Attorney felt bound
to silt the matter thoroughly in order
to arrive at the truth.

other usual ones. The aim will be to
serve the interests of the boys and girls
who will obtain no further than a High
School affords, and to this end the in
tention will be to prepare pupils as fully
as possible for the actual business affairs
of life, and not to require them to study
anything that will be useless TO them in
the years to come.
We shall make use of some athletics
this year, not by any means to the ex-
clusion of school work, but merely as an
incentive and stimulant to better work
and sane physical development. 1t is
the intention to inaugurats other sup

GOOD ROADS BOOSTERS.
Socialibility Run From Deadwood to
Hot Springs q Successfully
Automobiles in Line.

The Good Roads boosters \from tn g
northern Hills passed through Custer
last Saturday on their trip to Hot Springs
and return. All told-with Hill City
and Custer machines-there were over
so automobiles, with some 250 people.
| VIM. Lovett, with his new Midland
forty, and 7. V. Garlock with his Ford,
met the party at Hill City and escorted
them to Custer. From this city Mr..
Loyett piloted the cars through to Hot
Springs and did everything in his power
to make it pleasant for the tourists.
1t was a record trip and demonstrated
the feasibility of an "Auto" road through
the scenic heart OF the Black Hills.
Good time was made, especially from
the Pennington Custer county line to
Pringle. where the road is in excellent
condition and twenty mile per hour
average was easily maintained. In Gus
| ter county the road as a whole, is in
very good condition and much credit is
due the Custer people and ranchers who
have assisted in the good work.
One of the most important things TO
be kept in mind when building noun
tain roads is good drainage, and this
feature seems to have been overlooked
to great extent in the past.
On the present Travelled road from Joe
Conlon's ranch to the Wind Cave reserve,
some six miles, the road follows Beaver
creek for the entire distance, winding In
and out of the creek channel. Needless
to say drainage is out of the question on
the greater part of this stretch, and more
delays were chargable to the above six
miles than to all the balance of the road
through Custer county,
1t has been suggested that all this
could be avoided by following the divide
road from Pringle, striking the present
road about one mile this side of Wind
Cave. This last route was laid out some
years ago by the county commissioners
and would require very little work to
put in shape, and as it follows the divide
all the way, would be an easy road to
keep up. At least the suggestion is
worth investigating.
Two other points should be men
toned. One the railroad crossing at
Pringle, and the other the Custer "ceme.
terry hill" The Burlington should be
asked to put the Pringle crossing and
right-of-way in shape, and it seems the
Custer hill could be overcome to great
extent by turning west one block on
Harney street and following the natural
grade to top of hill. The road from Gus
ter to Sylvan Lake was never in better
condition than it is at the present time.
Let US all boost Good Roads and incl
dentally boost Custer.

THE CUSTER sANITARIUM
Has Been q Great Success Necessity
for the Increase of Facilities is
Therefore Apparent,

Aberdeen American: South Dakota'e
expe in curing consumption has
been great success, according to the
physician in charge of the Sanitarium,
established by the Legislature in 1909.
He believes that its record is warrant
for the erection Of more refugees for the
similarly afflicted. State Historian
Doane Robinson writing Of the need of
more sanatoria, says that, according to
the special report of DR.. Cressey L.
Wilbur to the federal census, there are
800 persons in South Dakota, exclu-
sive of the Indians, who are afflicted
with tuberculosis, many of them in the
incipient stages. The state sanitarium
for tubercular patients has facilities for
fourteen of these, or less than one per
cent Of the cases. The necessity for the
increase of facilities is therefore appar-
ent The sanitarium was established
under authority of law Of 1909 as an
experiment. 1t has met the highest ex-
pectations of it's founders. Practically
every case Of incipent consumption
which has come to IL has within o rea-
sonable time gone out cured and the
patient has acquired habits which are
almost q certain guarantee that he will
not again be afflicted by the scourge.
There is constantly q large waiting list
of patients, and these are given instruc-
tions which in many cases places them
far along toward cure before they are
Omitted.
DR.. r. E. Woodwork, the Superin-
tendent, recommends that the State pro-
vide accommodations for two hundred
patients. This is not very expensive
proposition, as the accommodations con-
sist chiefly of screened-in-porches, which
may be very chiefly provided. Fresh
air soon becomes an absorbing fad with
the patient, and DR.. Woodwork men.
tions that at the Sanitariuln the beds
are placed at the back of rather deep
porches, where the patient will be pro-
tected from driving storms, but soon the
patient finds the location of his bed too
close and shut in and very soon he has
moved It out close to the screen, where
he can get all the fresh air he needs.
The Superintendent believes that il is
likewise the duty of the State to provide
sccommod dations in another Sanitarium
for the chronic consumptives, too far
advanced for the Custer institu ton, but
where they can have a comfortable
home under conditions and regulations
which will give them the best chance
for life, relieve the public from the
spread of the contagion, and train the
patients in habits which will prolong
their own years and save others who as
sociate with them.
