Congress Has Blasted the Budding
Hopes Of BonesteeI.
Several thousand people have been
living for months in the vicinity of the
Rosebud Indian reservation in South
Dakota, waiting for congress to pass
the bill opening the reservation to Set
tlement, and are disappointed over
the failure Of congress to pass the
bill. In the town of Bonesteel the
disappointment is most bitterly felt.
Bonesteel is situated at the eastern
border of the reservation and IL had
expected to profit, greatly from the
opening OF the reservation. That a
number Of commercial institutions
now In existence there will have to
quit business because OF the natural
exodus Of persons who were waiting
for lands seems certain. A corpora
ton organized by the business men,
with $4,000 capital, to see to the &C
commodations for new corners, will
now suspend business.
The election in Gregory county for
the purpose of determining as to
whether or not the county should be
bonded in the sum of $4,000 for the
purpose of erecting a court house at
Fairfax, the county seat, resulted in
an overwhelming defeat for the bond
rooters." 1t is reported that several
illegal votes were cast at the Fairfax
polls and arrests will follow. The
Bonesteel precinct made gain over
last falls election of over $50 votes,
which fairly shows the increase of
population there since that time.
The Bonesteel council has sold the
$4,000 waterworks bonds to the state
and will Immediately put in a system
of waterworks. The money was re,
ceived from the state school fund.
