Mr. L. G. Wilson, of township 106-64, was continued as assessor, but was cut off from further work, for Aurora county, by the division of that county, which occurred the next year.
Late in the fall of 1882 a man named S. Woodhouse built a shanty on
31
the townsite of Wessington Springs, but in a few days moved it out into the country. This was the first building erected on the townsite.
Chapter 7.
In the early part of February, 1883, E. S. Waterbury and his brother, Dan Waterbury, came back to their claims in the west half of section 21-107-67 and prepared for platting a town. The plat which was filed on the 10th day of March, 1883, comprised eight blocks, six and a half in the southwest corner of the NW quarter of the section owned by E. S. Waterbury, and one and a half blocks in the northwest corner of the SW quarter, owned by Dan Waterbury. They had erected a building, of lumber brought with them from the woods about Polo, Ill., on the line between their two claims. For a time it was the only structure on the townsite. The new village was named Waterbury, after the men who founded it.
Two miles away, on the SW of 29, in the same township, a man by the name of John R. Miller., but who was masquerading under the name of John Scott, had filed a pre-emption claim, and with a man named Burpee and another, a minister, F. M. Cooley, of Cedar Lake, Iowa, began to plat a town which they called Sulphur Springs. The name was also given to a large spring that was close enough to the site to furnish the town with abundance of water. The Sulphur Springs plat was made a matter of record five days after the Waterbury plat was filed. Both were entered of record in Brule county, to which Buffalo county had for some time been attached for judicial purposes.
The two towns were near the line which it was thought the S. M. branch of the C. M. & St. P. Ry. would follow from Diana ( Artesian) to the Missouri river. They. were rival towns in the strictest sense of the word. No more beautiful or fertile land could be fond in the whole territory and it only required transportation and population to make one of them a fine city and the county seat of Buffalo county. Which should it be?
The railroads, hotels and livery stables were surprised, astonished and overwhelmed.
If 1882 was a year for prospectors, 1883 was the year for settlers. The number of settlers in '83 far more than doubled the number of those who came to "look" in previous years. All the railroads leading into the territory were strained to the utmost to carry the immigrant freight
32
billed to some point between the James and Missouri rivers. The rail- road between Mitchell and Kimball was lined on both sides with people in wagons, in tents and some without any shelter, in camp, getting their movables ready, as fast as possible to move off into the country. The village hotels and residences were crowded with people who sought shelter from the March or April weather.
Everybody was talking of the new county that the last territorial legislature had formed out of the north part of Aurora. Plankinton was the main point of debarkation for those who were going to the cen- tral part while those who were going into the eastern part of the new county left the railroad at Mitchell or Huron.
Townships 106-67, 107-67 and 108-67 had been a part of Buffalo county prior to the creation of Jerauld county by the legislature of 1883, and the fact that they had been put in to make up the new county, does not seem to have been generally known until some months later.
All, however, received the on-rush of settlers. At White Lake and Kimball hundreds of men left the train every day, swarmed to the hotels and eating houses, and then as fast as teams could be hired, and as fast as teams could take them, they rushed, for townships 106, 107 and 108, ranges 66 and 67. The objective points were Waterbury or Sulphur Springs in 107-67, or Crow Lake in 106-66.
Crow Lake in the southern part of 106-66 is a body of water cover- ing an area of about 700 acres. It was a meandered lake, and well known by reputation to many people who had never seen it. Settlers in telling of their claims referred to them as being north, south, east or west from Crow Lake. People who went into the western part of Jerauld county entered it by way of Waterbury or Sulphur Springs, or by way of Crow Lake or Wessington Springs.
By the first of August nearly every quarter section in the surveyed townships had been filed on and in the unsurveyed the land was subject to some "squatter's" right. So great was the influx of people that the first assessor's report made in June, 1884, showed I, III voters in the new county and a population of nearly 2,500, and yet it is doubtful if the population increased any after the first of October, 1883. The assess- ment of 1882 had reported only 123 persons, all told, in the part of the county then belonging to Aurora. At the time of the '82 assessment there were no settlers in range 67.
While the incoming settlers were racing over the prairies to get the choicest locations, the two towns of Waterbury and Sulphur Springs were vying with each other to get the lead in business and general im- portance.
Each had a newspaper about the same time, "The News" at Water-
.
33
bury and "The Buffalo County Herald" at Sulphur Springs. Both pub- lications started in May or June. Then Sulphur Springs got a saloon, run by Pond & Fluke. Waterbury did not have a saloon and did not want one.
But the saloon at Sulphur Springs was short lived. In fact it went to pieces before it really got started. One of the partners, Fluke, a Ger- man, furnished the capital with which to finance the enterprise, and against this Pond was to put in his time. They brought from Kimball four barrels of whiskey and a load of lumber. Before the building was erected however, a quarrel between the partners dissolved the firm. Two of the barrels had been opened and about half the contents sold when the dissolution of partnership occurred. Pond claimed and took the two full barrels of whiskey and half the lumber and hauled it to his claim in Buffalo county.
The part of the assets reserved by Fluke was seized by the landlord, Conrad, for a board bill and stored in the cellar of the hotel and then taken to a shanty on the SE of section 31 in 107-67. From there it dis- appeared in small quantities, portions of it being found later on the sur- rounding prairie, under stones and in other hiding places.
Pond retained his share of the liquor, and the license, until the part taken by Fluke was gone and then it also vanished. There has never since been a saloon in the western part of Jerauld county.
S. T. Leeds had already opened a blacksmith shop at Sulphur Springs while W. E. DeMent had set up a forge in the rival town. Each town had a hotel ready for use about the same time. Dr. Jones built the hos- telry at Waterbury and leased it to Wilbur Cross, while Mr. Conrad put up the one at Sulphur Springs.
Sulphur Springs secured a post office first, and it was thought a decided advantage was obtained by it. But the advantage, if any, was somewhat lessened by the fact that the department had refused to give the office the name of the town and called it "Delta." Mr. Waterbury offset the advantage that the opposing town had from its post office, which received mail from Kimball once a week, by going to Kimball twice a week and getting the mail for all the residents and patrons of his town.
F. M. Cooley, who ran the "Herald," told editorially of the advan- tages of Sulphur Springs as a business location, while Dunlap, publisher of the "News," told of the growing importance of Waterbury. Burton Brown opened a general store in Sulphur Springs and Rice & Herring started a similar establishment, but on a larger scale, in the other town.
Then Sulphur Springs organized a brass band, and Waterbury formed a string band.
34
Sulphur Springs organized a Congregational Church, incorporated it and built a church building 20x30 feet in size.
This church, the first of its denomination in the county, was incor- porated Nov. Ist, 1883, the charter being issued to .F. M. Cooley, Joseph Ponsford, Henry E. Merwin, Chas. Lyon and others whose names are unobtainable. The name of the society was "First Congregational Church of Buffalo County, D. T." At the time the charter was applied for, the people of that portion of the county did not know that the townships in range 67 had been detached from Buffalo county and made a part of the new county of Jerauld.
When the time came for laying the foundation wall for the church the minister's wife went about among the people of the town solicit- ing from each some little thing to put under the corner stone. She met with good success until she reached the blacksmith shop. "I have noth- ing," said the man at the bellows. "O yes! Any little thing, no matter what," insisted the lady. "I know I haven't anything at all-but yet, wait. I'll tell you, I've a half-pint flask. I hate to spare it, but I'll put that under the stone." "No, no," said the good woman, "there shall be no such thing as that in the collection."
"Yes," said the smith, growing determined with opposition, "I'll put it under the stone."
"But I say you shall not."
"Well then, I'll put it beneath a stone at the other corner, but under a corner of the wall the flask shall go."
So the flask was left out of the collection, but when the mason laid the stone at one of the other corners the smith thrust the flask in un- der it.
A few weeks later a heavy wind struck the church, partly moving it from the wall. Then it was found that the corner resting above the flask had not been moved perceptably.
When the crowd gathered about the building to ascertain the dam- age the smith remarked, "If I had only put a flask under each corner."
As both towns were ambitious to be the county seat of Buffalo county, they determined to call a mass convention to nominate county officers. The plan was to ask the governor to appoint the commissioners nominated by the convention, after which the commissioners should organize the county and appoint the other officers named.
The convention was held in the fore part of August, at Waterbury, and E. A. Herman, W. H. Crandall and E. W. Cleveland were nominated for commissioners. Of course nothing came of the movement and later the idea of still remaining a part of Buffalo county was abandoned.

The surveying of the various townships of Jerauld county was done under different contracts, let by the government to surveyors at different times. The townships in ranges 64 and 65 were surveyed in 1874 and those in 63 the year following. Township 106-66, 106-67, 108-66, and 107-67 were surveyed in 1882, while those numbered 107-66 and 108-67 were surveyed in the spring and summer of 1883.
On the surveyed lands the settlers had no trouble in selecting the tracts they desired, but in the townships where the lines had not been run. the difficulty was sometimes great, especially so if the country was rough and broken. Some of the squatters employed private surveyors to ex- tend the lines from surveyed townships, some, starting from a corner stake already established, would measure with a marked buggy or wagon wheel, while others would "step" off the required distance. The greater portion of 107-66, 108-66 and 108- 67 was settled upon by squatters in advance of the government surveyors.
In the summer af 1883 while the contractor was surveying the lines of 107-66, he was much surprised by the sudden disappearance of his flagman who was but a short distance away and on comparitively level ground. The man had dropped out of sight while the surveyor was looking back over the route they had come. A half hour passed and then in place of the flagman appeared a fellow wearing an enormously tall plug hat, a swallow-tailed coat and carrying a light cane. All the afternoon the surveyor followed the strange flagman who seemed to know 'well enough the duties of his position.
When evening came and the crew gathered at the camp fire the stranger proved to be the regular flagman. In passing the NE of 21 the man had noticed a board lying upon the prairie about which the grass had been a: good deal trampled. The appearance aroused his curiosity and he- turned the board over. This disclosed a hole leading down into a room about 8x10 feet in size. He dropped into the room, which was unoc -- cupied, and found a sheet iron stove, a bed, a rude stool and several articles of wearing apparel. He exchanged garments with the unknown squatter and climbing to the surface appeared before the surveyor as the- strange flagman. The next day when passing the same quarter again the flagman stopped to "reswap" and found the hole, or "dugout" occu -. pied by a negro who was holding the land under the rules of "squatter- sovereignty." The hole was his domicile and constituted his improve -. ments. When the surveyor's plat was filed the darkey made entry for the' land and afterwards perfected his proof. The hole was the only residing place he ever had on-or in-the land.

That the reader may get the full interest of the story of Jerauld county as we proceed the names are here given that appeared upon the tax list of the various townships in 1884, which was made in the months of May and June of that year. The list is so large that it is impossible to give the order in which the settlers came; but it is safe to say that nearly all came in 1883, or before, and all prior to May Ist, 1884:
