Report That South Dak"ta's Governor Has
Exceeded His Authority.
ST. PAUL. Feb. 1o.--A Pioneer Press
Washington special says:
1t is not unlikely that an investigation
will be instituted ty the government
into the uses to which the Fort Sisseton
reservation in South Dakota has been
put bv Governor Sheldon Of that state.
The last congress gave TO the state the
right to use this reservation for the en-
cana ,>lneuts of its $ ate militia, There
were about $lG0. .U3o worth OF improve
mentS on the reservation. 1t is alleged
that Gov. Sheldon has Soll building
worth several thous nd dollars to one of
hi> NeighbDiS in Day county fOr $50. 1t
is further alleged that some 200 tons of
hay were cut on the reservation during
the past year whicn is ~ to date unac-
counted for. Thr state had no title to
this property, and even if it had Gov
ernOr Sheldon was AS much without
authority to sell any portion of it as he
was to dispose o: the improvements,
and so the matter has been brought tc
the attention, of the authorities here fol
investigation.
When Governor Sheldon's explana
ton is received it may put an entirely
different construction upon the affair.
