In publishing the amount of business
done at the Sioux Falls land office, we stat.
ed that April had exceeded March by over
so per cent. and that the probability was
that the month of May would show still
further swell. The indications are now
that this swell will amount to at least so
per cent. over the business of April. Last
week there were 421 claims taken, or an
average of over 20 day. and last Monday
1874 secured locations, which amounted to
a disposal of 160 acres of land every three
minutes during the day, or nearly one acre
every second
Last Monday morning at o'clock, eight
men arrived at Medary, in Brookings coun-
", and walked up James Natesta. clerk OF

They kept the officer busy until half past 5,
when the eight got into their four horse
wagon again and started for the land office
at Sioux Falls to complete the entry, and
they made the trip, sixty miles, in five
hours and half, reaching here in plenty
time to clean up and take dinner at Forbes.
They filed twenty-three claims, getting in
ahead of their competitors.
