South Dakota Representatives in

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., July 25.-(Spa-
cial THE settlers on the abandoned Fort
Randall military reservation, in the south
central portion of the state, near the Ne
braska border, are preparing to circula e
petitions asking congress at its session
next winter to grant the settlers free
homesteads on their land. The tract was
opened under a special act, to which
the free homestead law does not apply,
and the settlers are required to pay a
certain sum per acre for the land filed
upon by them. What is known as the
Fort Randall reservation was occupied
by Brig Gen. Harvey in 1885, and by order
Of June 10, 1885, the $4,000 acres embraced
for mil tary purposes.
Three or four years ago, the post having
been abandoned some years prior, the
lands embraced in the reservation We're
opened to settlement Practically al the
land is now occupied by actual settlers,
who argue that inasmuch as the military
reservation was condscated from the
Indians by the government, not costing
the latter a cent, it would be no more
than Just ana fair for congress to enact
such legislation as would cause the pro
visions of the free homestead law to he
extended to the land. The representa-
tives from South Dakota in congress viii
be asked to take hold of the matter and
urge the passage Of a bill releasing the
settlers from the payments required at
present before they can procure title to
their hOmeSteadS.
