fore crowd of q hundred men and

formahce, consisting Of wrestling Ind
marching of the four and two legged
animals. But it was not long before
several punches of fire crackers were
exploded near the animals, and then
there was fun, and such waltzing and
dancing and bowling as those bears
INDUCED in! It was better than a

were last seen going north on the

Indian scares incident to frontier life
at the beginning Of this century. Dur
ing the war of 1872, the "fort' at
Prairie du Chen was captured by
British forces and their indian allies,
and held by them until the return OF

The Sisseton Reservation.

The opening of the great Sisseton
Indian Reservation, lying but q few
miles west of Browns Valley, cam
not fail to be of great advantage to
that beautiful village, as it will un-
doubtedly be headquarters for trade of
the immense number of settlers who
will make their homes in the rich
territory that will be opened for
settlement. The loss of the county
seat of Traverse county will be more
than made up to the Valley by the
settlement of the Indian territory by
white settlers, and we predict that
the population of that town will
more than double inside OF three
years. A more delightful site tor q
town is not to be found any where In
this part of the great Northwest. The
New York Metal Worker in referring
to the opening of the Sisseton Reser-
walton, says: There is o probability
that the rush to Oklahoma will be re-
peated to some extent about August
1st, when $500 900 acres of the finest
land in Dakota, known as the Sisse-
ton and Military reservation, are
opened for settlement in tracts of 100
acres. The Military Reservation is a
rectangular tract located in Marshall
county. The great Sisseton Indian
Reservation is q tract in the shape OF
a wedge, the point of which rests on
Lake Kampeka. The western bound
airy runs through the counties of
Codington, Grant, Day, Marshall and
Sargent to the forty-sixth parallel.
The northern boundary lies in Sar-
gent, Richland and Roberts counties.
Lake Traverse, on the Minnesota
border, is the eastern boundary for a
distance of 80 miles, the boundary
line running thence through Roberts,
Grant and Codington counties to
Lake Kampeska again. The land ID
/ watered by numerous lakes and small
streams and is sufficiently hilly to be
well drained. The soil is black
loam. It is the most fertile on the
eastern border of the Territory, where
large crops of wheat are raised.
Stock tares well also, as there is ex-
cellent grazing both summer and
winter. Oak and cottonwood trees
abound on both reservations. Build
ing stone is plentiful along the CEN
trail ridges. The rainfall Is usually
/ plentiful, the average for several
i years being 1927 inches.
