Not many patents had yet been issued for land in Beadle county (most homesteaders were living in tarpaper covered shacks) and Huron had not yet reached the kindergarten age when William T. LOVE built our first and only street railway with its horse-drawn cars.  Jess AYERS was conducter [sic] on it for a while.  Line to the old fair grounds north of tracks on west side of Dakota avenue finished just in time for the first territorial fair held in Huron.  Fare for initial trip 20 cents--Clarence BOWE was a passenger.  Many paid fare and ran by side of crowded car so they might say they made first trip.
