DIES AT HOT SPRINGS.
In Hot Springs, Tuesday, April 81,
1915, Miss Mary l.. Reed, of Pringle, S.
d., of paralysis, aged sixty-three years
and two months.
Deceased was born in New York in
February, 1852, and came to Dakota City,

years ago. About ten years ago Miss
Reed went to Custer county, settling near
Pringle. During her residence in Custer
county she was superintendent of public
instruction for two years, and later was
postmistress at Pringle, a position she
held at the time of her death. OF her it
may truly be said, she died in the har-
ness, for her last act before receiving the
stroke was to lock the mail sack and
hand it to the carrier. AS she turned
back she must have been stricken, for
soon afterwards she was found lying
across the stove, where she had fallen,
one arm being burned.
She received the stroke on April 7,
and was taken to Hot Springs where she
remained until her death. She leaves
three brothers, w. H. Reed, of Wasta,
John u. Reed, of Rapid City, and Shelby
d. Reed, of Alberta; also one sister, Miss
Phoebe A. Reed, of Erie, Penn. w. II.
Reed and J. z. Reed were with her at
the Springs, and yesterday brought the
remains to Rapid City with them. Last
evening they took the body of their be-
loved sister to Wasta, where funeral
services will be held this afternoon, and
w. H. Reed will leave this evening with
the remains for New York. where inter
ment will be made in Garbutte, that
state.
Miss Reed was member of the Pres
byterian church, and was an earnest
worker in all Christian lines. She made
many friends wherever known, and her
death will be regretted by all.-Rapid

BEAVER VALLEY AND VICINITY.
BY E. p. KING

April 2S, 1915.
Joe Rhinehart is working at the Wind
Cave in connection with the road work.
Will Sieg, Frank Milton and "Buck"
Raver are working at the buffalo ranch
building fence.
Mrs. I. w. BrazeIl and daughter
Esther, returned last week from visit
in the eastern part of the state.
Henry Ritter will do the cement work
on the new reservoir at the Wind Cave.
He expects to begin work about the
middle of the week.
This vicinity was visited with a good
rain last week and everything looks good
for bumper crop. Grass is coming in
fine shape, and the stock is taking on a
different aspect.
There was farewell dance at the
Tomlin ranch Saturday night in honor
of Freddie Jensen, who is leaving for
Wyoming. A good crowd is reported.
Music was furnished by the Curl or
chestra.
Another sociable affair Saturday night
was dance at John Tanners place east
of Pringle. The writer is not informed
as to proceedings, but will venture that
everybody had good time, as they al
ways do with that genial host.
John Robertson and Mrs. H. I. Carlile
surprised their many friends last week
by getting married. Mr.. Robertson is
our expert fruit grower, without irriga-
ton, and lecturer along that line OF
work. Mrs. Ca.lile has been the com.
positor for the Times. Herald, of Hot
Springs. for the past three years.
Bobby" Brazell, who has been acting
as chef at the Wind Cave hotel, has
voluntarily resigned. He says that there
will be no competition for the job, pro-
yided that they all feel as he does. This
will be disappointing news for those
who have had the pleasure of testing
some of "Bobby's" choicest dishes.
supervisor Brazell has force of men
at work this week fixing up the water
works at the Wind Cave. For the past
week he has had crew of men working
on the road which runs through the
park from north TO south. The road is
now in the best shape that it ever has
been, and Mr.. Brazell is to be compli-
mented for the facility with which he
handles that kind of work, for while he
does not profess being an adept himself,
he knows enough to secure the services
Of men who are, even though they come
at higher price. He believes in pay
ing men what they are worth, and in
securing the best available, and in so
doing, he has done the greatest lot of
good with the least expenditure of money
of any man along this line of read work.
