Emigrants arriving in the Southern
Hills who took as their route the one
leading through the Rosebud and Pine
Ridge Indian Agencies complain of the
treatment they receive at the hands o.
the Indians, even when accompanied by
a police escort. Every few miles a SQUAD
of from fifteen to twenty OF the copper
colored gentlemen would drop down on
the emigrant and levy a heavy tribute
or the privilege Of travelling through
the reserve, one disguised emigrant says
that he gave up nearly $50 for the above
mentioned privilege. The agents are
reported as saying that they are power
less to prevent the Indians from making
these outrageous charges, but ii so they
should certainly exc themselves to
warn people from crossing their respect
i've reservations, instead of advertising
az they do that they will furnish protec-
ton, ETC., to those desiring to cross.

An election is called for the Goth to
vote $500 bonds for this school town
ship to be used in the erection of a
school house. To the mount thus raised
about $4,000 will be- added which is now
on hand and a $1,000 building erected.
Doc r. ID. Jennings of Hot Springs has
been employed to get up the plans and
specifications which are expected to be
ready by the first Of next week. We
hope, o that the board exhibits a wish
to furnish the people with a building by
the time snow flies, that no stumbling
block will be placed in their way by the
stickler after law points. 1t is to
the interest Of the entire community
that work should be commenced and
pushed to completion as soon as possible
and for this once at least the people
should all work in unison.

The assessed valuation of Custer u

new county Of Fall River, is $4,000
more than the combined valuation of
the property embraced in the boundaries

from Custer county the increase is won
derful and beyond comprehension to
