SIssEToN AGENCY, S. D., April 16.-The
mad rush for Sisseton and Wahpeton
lands is over, and while yesterday morn
ing at 10 o'clock not white man outside
OF the agency officials could be found on
the great "fat iron" reservation, last
night there were 5000 people scattered
over it from lake kanpeska on the south
to Hankinson on the north. From the
firing of the guns by members of the
Eighth cavalry and Third infantry at
noon to long after nightfall the rush for
lands was as vigorous struggle for su-
premacy as was ever witnessed.
The Squatter Has the Gail.
There was great deal of ill-feeling in
places, and in several instances boombers
came to blows, bat up to this writing not
death from violence has occurred. The
eHery was pretty evenly distributed
through the northern and eastern bor-
ders. The squatter is monarch of all he
surveys. The filer is literally out of the
running. The man on the ground is the
owner, and the squatter is on the ground
An Incident of the Rush.
During the rush yesterday one of the
leaders in the town site scramble was like
built fellow from Kansas City-"Kansas
Jack, everybody called him. In the first
100 yards of the rush his pony sank one
foot in burrow, and the gentleman from
Kansas landed in bunch of buffalo grass
twenty-five feet away. Rider and steed
were on foot almost simultaneously, and
in less than twenty-three seconds they
were off again. A wagon laden with sup
plies stuck up to the hubs in the bottom.
They Couldn't Wait.
The driver howled wildly at the strug-
Cling horses. They made five or six con-
vulsive efforts to clear the slough without
avail. In an instant more the traces were
cut, the two occupants of the wagon were
on the horses and away they
went, leaving the supply wagon in the
mire. OF to the southwest on the road
toward Long Hollow similar scene was
being enacted. A large number of people
had gone that way.

pear To BE Bearing Fruit.
VIENNA, April 16.-The gravest appre-
tensions have been aroused here by the
announcement that Bulgaria has sent a
note to the powers complaining that the
sultan has ceased to protect Bulgaria's in
terests and that the Turkish government
protects Russia's proteges who have en-
tered upon a campaign of assassination
against Bulgaria's public men, from
Prince Ferdinand down. The note de-
mands that Turkey be compelled to expel
the assassins whom Russia supports on
her soil. The note is supposed to be the
precursor Of proclamation of Bulgaria's 8
independence from Turkey. and such q
proclamation would inevitably result in \
European war.
Bulgaria Has a Good Cause.
The note is considered the result of the
protection by Turkey and Russia OF the
murder of DIR. Vulkovitch, of the revela-
tion of plot to murder Prince Ferdinand
and Stambuloff (made by Costa Ivanoff,
brother-in-law OF the Servian minister.
President Pasaic). and Of the discoveryof g
remarkable band Of conspirators, living on
Russian soil, and supported by Russian
money. The intriguing with the car on
behalf Of these conspirators is carried on
by General Ignacioff and other high mill
tary men who are anxious to annex Bull
garia and fight out the unavoidable war
with Germany and Austria at once.

IDA eURNETT's RIDE FOR LAND.

Possessed of Enough Indian Blood to
Come Into an Allotment.
Ida Burnett, graduate of the Univers-
ity Of Minnesota, strikingly handsome
girl, is by this time the possessor of the
choicest quarter section near the town
site. She has just a suspicion of Indian
blood in her veins, and is a descendant of
the Sioux race. She has been allotted land
on the reserve. Behind the fastest team
obtainsble she was drawn to the town site
from the agency. The start was made at
gunfire, and the girl was first on the field.
She staked out her claim and went to
work on the erection of shanty, assisted
by her driver.

WASHINGTON, April 16. The Record to-
day will contain the concluding chapters
of Henry Georges book on Protection or
Free Trade" as Simpson (Farmer's Alli-
ance) of Kansas intends to bring up the
rear guard of the Democratic column and
finish the citations from Georges book.
Following the example of the Democrats
the Republicans will also publish copious
extracts from tariff works. Milliken of
Maine will make copius extracts from the
recent work plymouth Rock to Nc
kinley."
The Record VIII BE Pretty Full
Dolliver of Iowa will excerpt leading ed
itorials from the New York Tribune, and
Smith OF Illinois will use such contribu-
tiChs as he may select from the American
Economist. Others will probably swell
The Record with extracts, and altogether
The Congressional Record today will cover
a myriad of opinions bearing on the tariff
question.
Violates the Copyright Law.
Speaking of the publication of Henry
Georges book in The Record under "a
leave to print" Mr.. Spofford librarian of
congress, who has charge of the copyright
system Of this country, said it was a pc
culiarly high-handed violation of the copy
right law, and that IL it was continued
there would be trouble in all probability.
IL an author gave his consent to such pub
ication the law was not affronted, but
without such consent 1t would be a clear
case Of Infringement and he said that con-
gressmen would go well to think twice be-
fore continuing it.

arrived at the north side Thursday morn
ing and are now quartered there with
prospects of remaining there for several
days. These are the negroes who started
from East Tennessee and Mississippi and
Alabama several weeks ago. A COLOMBIA

man and woman of that race trudged into
this city from the east, each carrying q
little bundle. They were over 60 years of

after they had put up at negro boarding

Gamblers Reaping . Harvest.
The white settlers are also well fixed as
general thing. and $4,000 has been de-
posted in the banks here, at Fl Reno and

stand a chance Of being robbed. Also they
are continually tempted to gamble. The
gamblers have reaped harvest for three
or four days. One professional gambler

commercial spirit of the occasion, and they
are selling every horse they possess for a
good round price and going home on foot.
When man demonstrated with an old

he could not get along without them, the

ON Board a spaniard.

One of the most remarkable customs
that prevails in the Spanish navy to-
day and one that is faithfully observed
on the Navarro each night at sunset
when ship is under way, is the prac-
tice of chasing the devil out of the
sheaves." This idea has its origin in
the loss of Spanish galleon, with all
on board, many years ago off the coast
of Portugal. Night came on and it
began to blow. The wind increased to
a gale before the officers could reef her
down. Every one-halyards, clew-
lineas, buntlines and all refused to
reeve through its block. "The devil
is in those sheaves!" cried the captain.
and then the ship went down.
With that calamity in the mind
Spanish admiralty issued an order re-
quiring that each night at sunset the
men should be ordered aloft to "chase
the devil out of the sheayes," and so
it is the common custom, endeared by
constant use, to send the men up and
out on the yard-arms each night, with
Delaying pins and marlin-spikes in
hand, to see that the sheaves are clear.
