TAKE AFTER THEIR FATHERS.
Half Breed Children of Indian WomeI
Are Only White Folks.

Are Only White Folks.
PIERRE, y. d., Dec. 20.--Fhe deciaion OF
the assistant attorney-gencral OF tho
United States that children born OF Indian
mother and a white father cannot secure
tho rights Of the Indian, has created con-
sternation among gquaw men and half
breeds upon tho late Sioux reservation. The
decision will affect hundreds of families,
and fifty to one hundred Thousand acres Of
the most valuable lands upon ceded lands
Will be thrown open TO contest. In the
Pierre land office 200 Indian allotments
have been made, and out of this number
fully one half are allotted to the children
OF white fathers. Squaw men in some in
stances have been given 1900 acres of land
through their children. They will now be
compelled to give up all but 1GO-aore
homestead. All valuable land within five
and ten miles of Pierre upon tho west sids
Of the river was selected by half breeds and
children of sqnaw men. Some OF their
claims are worth $4,000.
When the news reached Pierre tho excite-
mont rlvalled the throwing open of the
reservation to settlement. The land office
was crowded all day with parties offering
contests upon choice pieces of land. In
some instances half dozen contests were
put upon the same pieco of land. Trains
into Pierre are crowded with parties from
the eastern part of the state, who had
heard of the decision and are after vaiua-
Bile claims.
Wealthy squaw men and haIf-breeds are
vowing vengeance if any one offers to con-
test and take possession OF their lands. The
decision not only knocks them ont of their
lands. but out Of the rights Of drawing ra-
tions. These squaw men have lived off the
government for years and they are furious
to think they will have to earn their living
like com q on white man. Trouble has not
yet commenced, but when white men try to
take possession of the lands there is sure to
be bloodshed. The statement of white peo-
pie not affected by the decision is that it is
all right. Half-breeds and squaw men have
got all the benefits from gelecting valuable
lands, while full l-blooded Indians have got
nothing. The decision affects large num-

torney that first brought up the question
that children followed the status of the
father and not the mother. He was the at
torney in the case just decided by the attor-
ney general. He had fu]l-bloodod Indian
who contested the land of the half-breed.
The claim joins the townsite of Fort Pierre
and is worth $4,000 to $4,000.
