AN UNFAITHFUL RED man
A Bewitching Indian Maiden Mars
Domestic Felicity,
Educated Ina the East She Returns
and Causes n Married Brave
to Forget His First
Love.

Chamberlain. S. D., Oct. 30.-A d.
vorce case in which members Of the
Sioux tribe are principals has been COM
menced here, and, SO far as romantic
features are concerned, is quite inter-
esting. In October, 1890, First Born, 81
redoubtable warrior, n Appearing
Earth, a reservation belle, were mar
r!ed at the agency by United States In
dian Agent A. p. Dixon. Both are men,
bers of the Crow Creek tribe OF Sioux.
All went smoothly in the First Born
household until two years ago, when a
young Sioux beauty named Good Ma
tured Fool Bear appeared IN the scene.
The red skinned beauty had been at
tending an eastern Indian school and
had returned to the reservation for her
vacation when she and First Born met
and formed a warm attachment for
each other. They made no particular
attempt to conceal their affection, and
naturally the jealousy Of the patient
wife was aroused. Then the recreant
husband and the young charmer de-
clded to elope. They fled to Yankton
agency, but were followed by Indian
police and forcibly carried back to Grow
Creek agency. where they were thrown
into Jail. After remaining in Jail for a
time, they were liberated, and the rela-
t.ves Of Good Natured Fool Bear again
sent her to the eastern school, hoping
that the separation would cause the low
ers to forget each other. A few months
ago the Indian girl returned to her
home on the reservation, and il was but
a short time until she again aroused
the jealousy Of Mrs. First Born, who
made complaint on several occasions to
the Indian agent, and the couple were
punished by serving brief terms in Jail.
On September 10 First Born and Good
Natured Fool Bear left the reservation
and Went to Gam Valley, the county
seat of Buffalo county, where they were
married by Rev. +. p. Swartout, a
Methodist minister. They returned to
the reservation in h evening and the
next morning were arrested by the
agency authorities and placed in Jail.
A complaint against First Born was
filed with United States Commissioner
Stuart in this city, charging him with
bigamy, and q warrant was Issued and
served by Deputy United States Mar
shall Lewis. The prisoner engaged the
services of ex-Commissioner Morrow,
who maintained that the United States
was without jurisdiction in the matter,
as the marriage ceremony constituting
the act Of bigamy vas performed out
side the Crow Creek reservation, and
therefore only subject to the state stat
utes. The United States commissioner
concurred in this view. and First Born
was released. His lawful wife has now
divorce proceedings against
for bigamy and on other grounds.
Judge Morrow is her attorney, and the
case will be tried before Circuit Judge
in this city.

Around 2 o'clock Chicago gas suddenly

CUSTER CHRONICLE
JOSEPH KUBLER PUBLISHER

In arranging the Metropolitan block
ystem Of New York old maps and sur
reys were consulted and the astonish-
ne discovery was made that many
plots south of Canal street are not To-
ated. In this section lies the most val
liable real estate on the American con-
dnent, yet it has never been completely
mapped or surveyed. Until such a sur-
vey is made the block system cannot be
extended south Of Canal street, and the
Nd ward lines must be here followed in
The tax maps. These maps show that in
the heart OF the Wall street section,
where land is worth 50 much money,
are small parcels which cannot be as
sessed and taxed, simply because no
owner has Yer appeared to claim the
property, worth all the way from 500 to
1900 a square foot.

pretty high, In by far the larger num-
Der of cases the fires broke out in bed
