Colonel John FL, King, OF Rapid City,
| who was in Yankton this morning on his
! return from Washington, where he has
| been for some time laboring in the in
terest of the Sioux reservation bill in
congress, was seen by o reporter and
l~nterrogated as to the probable length OF
time which will be required in securing
the written consent of the Indians to the
agreement which will make over q por-
ton of the Sioux reservation to the
whites for settlement. Mr. King is OF
the opinlen that il the government
selects men who are familiar with the
Indians, to solicit their signatures, the
work can be accomplished within ninety
days from the time OF starting. His
work in Washington was arduous but
he is more than repaid by the result.
Colonel King speaks earnestly in behalf
of Delegate Gifford's industry and ef-
fe%ctiveness.
