They live months without eating q

manifest their ignorant contempt of

SCENE OF MANY DARK GRIMES.

South Dakota Island Where Severa
1ragedieo Have Been Enacted.
A large wooded island In the Mis-
souri, River. near the Lyman County
line, South Dakota, that has been the
scene Of many bloody deeds during the
last three-quarters Of q century. Is
about to be converted to the use OF
civilized man by having q large saw.
mill erected upon 1t. In early days II
was known to the whites a. Dark
Island" The history OF this name Ia
not definitely known, but 1t Is thought
by old settlers that 1t may have &C
quired the name from the fact either
that 1t is heavily wooded, and, there
fore. dark and gloomy as compared
with the open plains on either side Of
the river. or. more probably. that 1t was
the scene Of many a dark deed. For
nearly twenty years preceding 1890 its
only occupant was a man by the name
Of Frank Phelps. a man around whose
history there clustered many doubtful
acts. Since the beginning Of his Occu-
pancy II has been known as Phelps ISL
and.
1t was on this island that two Jesuit
missionaries lost their lives In 1S45.
They had come out to work among the
to consult White Eagle. q powerful
Sioux chief who lived there. This was
the last seen Of them. Some years
afterward the Indians Of this tribe used
to display two white mems scalps with
long black hair, and 1t is thought they
were taken from the two Frenchmen.
A few years afterward a party Of emil
grants found this a convenient place to
cross the Missouri. but nothing was
ever heard Of them after they reached
ths island.
In 1893, at the time when the federal
government was converting the Rose
bud Indian reservation into organized
counties. Phelps occupied the island,
At this time Mot Matson, a Swede. who
lived on the west bank Of the river.
directly opposite Phelps shanty, waa
murdered in front Of his own door.
Henry Shredder. who was at that time
employed by Phelps In cutting wood
for the steamboats,, was accused Of the
crime. He was arrested and confessed
his part In the murder, but implicated
Phelps as the instigatOr Of the crime.
Shredder is now serving the seventh
year Of life sentence In the State
at Sioux Falls.
Phelps was arrested. and in the long
trial that followed spent all that he was
worth, including the island. In trying |
to secure his freedom. He was found
guilty. however. and was sentenced to
life Imprisonment. He appealed his
case to the Supreme Court. and on the i
very day on which the opinion of that |
court was handed down affirming the |
decision Of the lower court he suddenly |
lied IN his cell in the jail at Alexandria
Many other dark deeds have been
with the island, but 1t has
passed into the possession of
company that has commenced the erec-
don Of a sawmill for the purpose Of
.utting the timber and clearing the land
and putting 1t under cultivation. Much
interest is manifested In this work as
Il goes on, for 1t Is thought that, in cut
ling down the giant trees and in clear
Ing OF the land. where SO many dark
deeds have been committed, evidence /
will appear that will throw light upon |
many mysteries which surround the
