II. King, state agent at Washington, to
endeayor 10 prevail upon congress, at
its session this winter, 10 pass an act

known as the additional 1925 per

three reservations were originally re-
CURED to pay a stipulated price per
mere for their homesteads, dependent
in the case of the settlers on h Sioux

their entries. In each case the original
amount collected was deposited In the

South Dakota attempted 10 collect
from the government the per cent 10
which IL was entitled by an act Of
congress for all government land sold

been committed in the cas- of commu-
