Inquiry From Medicine Hat tbOut a
Girl Recovered From Indians.

Sioux Falls. :. D.-Mayor Sites re-
ceived a letter from Il man living in
the Northwest Territory inquiring
about the young girl recently brought
from Cheyenne river agency. The let
ter is dated from Medicine Hat, y. w.
r., and is written by Ludwig Stelter.
He states that IN 1894 his daughter
Mathilde. aged 10 years. was lost. She
wandered away from DunmOre june
ton the 18th of April. 1894, going south
on the prairies toward Montana. and
nothing has.beep heard of her since.
1t was Thought at the time that the
girl had been found 10y band of Chey-
enne Indians who We're known to have
been in that vicinity at that time.
Mr.. Stelter describes his daughter as
follows: MY girl is middling fair, and
her name is Mathilde. She has got
slight smallpox marks on her face has
dark blue eyes. and is from German
parents. l think she would be able to
talk a little German. Her age is ii
last Christmas"
This does not answer the description
of the girl at the Children's Home mt

no pockmarks on her face. Anna Rus

that they have fallen in love with her
pictures. as they have been published
III the papers. Among the number are
letters from a student in the state uni
ycrsity in Minneapolis, and from the
state university in Madison. Wis. As
the girl is nothing but child. yet it is
safe TO say that she is not allowed to
see the letters. or know of them. by

BETS AND SUGAR,
Prominent Topics Among Farmers
In the Black Hills.

Spearfish, $. D.-The farmers in this
vicinity are talking of two things this
winter. sugar beets and orchards. Ever
since the reports appeared from the
sugar beet experiments throughout the
state of last season. which showed
such good results for the Black Hills
countries. there has been more or less
talk among the farmers of establishing
a beet sugar factory on the co-opera-
tive plan somewhere along the Spear
fish river. where natural water power
is 10 he had. Speartish valley is prob
ably the best place in the state for
raising beotS because of the ease with
which the soil can be irrigated Dur
ing the past season about 5000 trees,
mostly apple, were set out in the val
ley as an experiment. The loss. as
shown by careful canvass of the diff
ferent orchards, has been only about /
per cent. The largest and Oldest or
chard in the Black Hills is on Box
Elder creek north OF Rapid City, and
owned by G. Thompson. There are
about 10000 apple trees growing. be
sides many peach. pear, apricot, plum,
cherry and all kinds of small fruit.
This orchard is never irrigated and the
trees and shrubs seem to thrive well
III the dry seasons. With irrigation in
the Spearfish valley, there is not much
question but that orchards would make
wonderful growth. The time is not
far distant when the Black Hills will
be supplied exclusively with home
grown fruit.
