BUYS MOBRIDGE DRUG STORE
Smith Brothers, of Rockham Become Owners of Boyd Establishment

Mobridge, March 26 – Quite an important transfer took place in the business circles of the city when the drug stock and fixtures of the late W. H. Boyd was purchased by C. A. Smith and C. E. Smith of Rockham, who will conduct the business in the future under the firm name of Smith & Smith. The firm has two drug stores besides the Mobridge property – one at Rockham and the other at Tulare, both towns being in Spink county. C. A. Smith is in the city at present and has assumed control of the business. However, he will remain only until the arrival of C. E. Smith, who will move his family to this city and conduct the business here. They expect to sell one of their stores in the comparatively near future in which event C. A. Smith will also move to Mobridge with his family.

Charles Cunningham, a conductor on the Milwaukee road out of Mobridge, stepped between two cars to disconnect the airbreak, when his foot slipped and he fell beneath the moving cars. The first set of trucks passed over his arm and leg, but he succeeded in getting from the track before the second set of trucks caught him. He was severely injured, but will not lose any of his limbs.
