The following beautiful tribute was sent from Illinois by her former Sunday school class:

Lewiston, Ill., Jan. 13, 1913.
Mr. O.H. Arends and Sons,
St. Lawrence, S. Dak.

Dear Friends:

The sad news of Pearl's death came to us. I am writing you in behalf of the Sunday School of the Christian Church to express to you our heartfelt sympathy in the loss of one who has been dear to us all.

While Pearl was with us here her sweet life was an inspiration to us all, for as the Superintendent said this morning to know her was to love her.

The influence of her life shall continue to be a blessing in Lewiston.

And while life may never seem the same without her, and tho' it is hard to bear yet we can rejoice that she has gone to be with that dear mother and that they together are waiting to welcome us all to that home which the Savior has gone to prepare.

May the Heavenly Father be very near to you in these days.

Yours in love,
Bertha Huges, Sec'y.

MISS PEARL ARENDS ACCIDENTLY KILLED __________________________

When the words flashed over the town that Miss Pearl Arends had been accidentally killed last week, Thursday nite, it affected our citizens as would a flash of lightning from a clear sky. She had spent Christmas here at home and returned to Vayland on the early morning passenger the following Monday to resume her duties as teacher at the Marshall school, 3 miles southeast of the above-mentioned place. A few days later she wrote her father that she would be home again Friday of last week.

On Wednesday night she and her pupils spent the evening at the Davis home, and while there planned to spend the next evening at the Fisher home. She boarded at the Marshall home and, according to arrangements made the evening before, a team of horses was hitched to a double-box wagon with no endgate or rods in in which she and the Marshall children were conveyed to the Davis home, one mile east and one mile south of her school, to take in the Davis children. As they were leaving this place to turn south---about three rods from the Davis residence---Miss Arends and four of the occupants who were leaning against one side of the wagon were thrown out just as the wagon turned on a slight sloping grade. The accident took place at about 8 o'clock.

Shortly after being thrown out Miss Arends raised up on her elbow and asked one of her pupils if she were hurt, replied; "No, teacher; are you?" when she fell back with a muffled cry and lapsed into unconsciousness and died in about 27 minutes. Immediately after the accident she was carried into the house, when it was found a blood vessel had been ruptured on one side of her neck.

======================

Pearl Arends was born in St. Lawrence, S.D., March 26, 1887. The following spring her parents moved onto a farm 1 1/2 miles northeast of Vayland, where they resided for about one year, and then removed to Illinois. Two years ago last March she and her father returned to St. Lawrence and made it her home until her death on January 16, 1913.

Deceased is survived by her father, and two brothers, O.K. and Evan Arends, of Ft. Lipton, Colorado, the former having arrived in time to attend the funeral of his sister, accomplanied by his little son. Other nearby relatives of the deceased who attended the funeral obsequies were the Otto family from near Vayland.

Funeral services were held in the Methodist church Monday afternoon, conducted by Rev. J. L. Walsh and assisted by Rev. G. Isaac. The funeral arrangements were in charge of the Rebekah lodge, of which deceased was a charter member, and this is the first death to occur since the order was established here. She was a faithful member of the Christian church, and also belonged to the Christian Endeavor Society of this place.

The large attendance at the funeral and the profusion of beautiful flowers that covered her casket is silent but eloquent
evidence of the profound esteem and respect in which she was held by all who knew her.

The remains were deposited in a tomb in the cemetery north of town, and later may be taken to Illinois for burial beside those of her mother, who died nearly three years ago.

The bereaved father and brothers have the heartfelt sympathy of all in this community in this their sad hour of affliction.evidence of the profound esteem and respect in which she was held by all who knew her.

Letter from J.C. McVay
[Typed as printed - csr]
======================

Butlerville, Indiana, Jan. 20, 1913.
St. Lawrence News: Left Huron 9 a.m. on the 9th inst. over the N.W.R.R., via Missouri Valley Junction, for double well-balasted track for Chicago, where we arrived at 9 p.m. Friday.

Left at 2:30 a.m. Saturday over Monon and B. O. for Butlerville, where we arrived at 7 p.m. Very pleasant trip in very way. Now ten days here and not a mantel of "soft white snow, " or ice, have we seen. Typical October weather. Not so much sunshine by a lot, as in God's country, but gently falling rain---no lightning nor thunder and but little wind and facing it half a mile every day, going to B. gives no sensation of cold whatever.

Blue birds, red birds and others, my neighbors, who live near large belts of timber say, make the welkin ring with springtime songs.

Hastily and regards to you and all my friends in the Land of Sunshine.

Jno. C. McVay

HUSBAND OF TWO WIVES SENTENCED TO ONE YEAR
Woonsocket, S. D., Jan. 0. -- At the term of circuit court for Sanborn county, Ray Howard was convicted of perjury and Judge Smith gave him a sentence of three years in the penitentiary.

Otto Lupke also appeared and entered a plea of guilty on the charge of bigamy and received a sentence of one year. Not being informed on the marriage and divorce laws of the state, Lupke thought he had the privilege of abandoning his wife and taking up with another woman, in which relation he was not molested until his neighbors found out that he had deserted his legal wife.
The couple lived on a farm remote from the neighbors and as few people went there his duplicity had not been discovered.

NEW INDUSTRIAL LINE ESTABLISHED AT HARROLD
Harrold, S.D., Jan. 0. -- Harrold is proud of the fact that there has just been established and now is in successful operation the only factory in the west for the manufacture of filler for automobile tires.

F. G. Allen, the real estate man, while in college made a hobby of chemistry, and being an enthusiastic motorist, he, for a long time has been wrestling with that troublesome problem of punctures and blowouts. He says that he thinks he now has it solved and shows his faith in the matter by organizing a $50,000 company and subscribing for a majority of the stock himself and by giving the only "money back" guarantee to be had with any thing of a similar nature.

Mr. Allen has associated with him in the enterprise C. R. Schultz, a mechanic and automobile man of years of experience.

South Daakota needs more factories and the state in general and Harrold in particular is to be congratulated in the starting of this enterprise which, from the way it is being received by local motorists, bids fair to become an extensive proposition.
