Sioux Assert That Property Near
Armandale and Rondeii is Theirs.
Aberdeen, Oct. s.-A band of Crow
Greek Indians now in the city, headed
by old Drifting Goose, a noted Sioux
chief, called upon Senator Kyle and
laid before him Il claim 10 certain
lands near Armandale and Rondell
which they Occupied in the early days
of the settlement of this country.
Drifting Goose was armed with a for
midable array of documents, among
them the original treaty Of 1925,
bearing the signature of President
Monroe The land in question was for
mally opened for settlement i'm the fall
of 1880, and was speedily appropriated
by the whites. Goose claims that Pres
ident Hayes in 1879 issued an execu-
tive order setting apart three town
ships for their use and benefit, and il
is upon this alleged proclamation that
they lay the chief stress. Senator KYLE
took notes of their contention and for
warded them to the interior depart
ment. Ii is not believed the Indians
have a good claim. They desire to gain
the historic precincts of Armandale
because their Grow Creek lands, they
contend are too poor to support the
GOO families assigned to them.
