SOUTH DAKOTA.
There is located at Ft. Pierre won-
derful natural freak in the person Of a
full-blooded Sioux Indian, who is, and
has been growing white for the past year.
From his forehead, beginning close over
his eyes and extending to the top of his
head and ears, his skin is whittier than
that found in the ordinary white man
who keeps his color by wearing hat.
Other parts of his body are covered here
and there by white spots from two and
three inches to seven and ten inches
square. Old abrasions of the skin on his
hands that have begun to heal show that
the new skin is white.

lies in SPHINX and Clark counties, is some-
thing of a bonanza farmer. The Red

existing situation of the Turtle Mountain
Indians. It will be the commissions
duty to ascertain whether it is policy to
let the Indians remain where they are OF
locate them on some other reservation in
the state. If such is not advisable the

alton Of 5000 WAS made by congress for
