opening of the SissetOn reservation,
$3.50 nOmesteads have been 6led upon

ally is rich, but the pieces left are
not, of course, choice tracts, though
!, we'll adapted to stock and general
farming. Three flourishing towns
have also sprung up-Sisseton, Sum-
nit and EtfingtOn-sO that 1t is safe

: leased. Barry now sues for $4,000
damages. A year ago Barry was in
dicted by the grand jury for a deadly
assault, and this action comes up also
