CONTROVERSY is SETTLED.
Former Sioux Falls Man First White
Child Born in Qakotaa.

Sioux Falls. 8. D.. Sept. 2l.-lt has at
last been decided that Ole O. Jetiey, a
resident Of this city. was the first white
child to be born in the territory of Dakota.
Doane Robinson, the we'll known secrS-
tary of the state historical society, has,
after an exhaustive inquiry and investiga-
ton arrived at the conclusion that all
other claimants to this distinction nave
no basis for their claim. ~
Mr.. Jetley was AT one time q member
of the Sioux Falls police force. In 1883
he came to this city and was a resident
for four years.
The distinction Of being the first white
child born In the territory of Dakota car.
:ries with it also an exciting career as a
pioneer. Mr.. Jetley was born on his faith
:er's farm near VermilliOn in 1860 and las
lived there continuously with the exception
of the four years spent i'm Sioux Fails.
In his infancy the civil strife of the COS

and massacres were frequent in this
state and Minnesota. The Sioux Indians
were or the warpath almost constantly.
One instance Of his early life illustrates
its ~strenuosity. The Sioux gathered for

From South America to Attend G. a. R.

From the Denver Republican.
The man who can undoubtedly claim
the distinction of having travelled the
turthest to attend the national en-
campment at Denver is General Archi-
bait j. Sampson, envoy extraordinary
and minister plenipotentiary of the
United States to the republic Of Ecua-
dor, South America.
General Sampson is we'll known to
Colorado people, having been attorney
general of this state many years ago.
For eight years General Sampson has
been stationed at Quito. Ecuador. He
states that the Innate there is a hot
and disagreeabie one. He has several
times tried to resign his United States
government position there. but each
Tune his resignation is not accepted,
and he is petitioned to remain. This
Is because of his efficiency in handling
the affairs of the United States gov
eminent in the South American re-
public.
The general says he would not have
missed the %encampnent i'm his old home
IN Denve for anything. and so he came
5000 miles to attend it. He has had a
good time since arriving in the city,
meeting old friends both of the war
time and of the time when he practiced
law and served the state of Colorado in
Denver.
1t was his intention to again resign
his position in South America while on
this trip. and for this reason he left
Ecuador early and arrived in the
United States two months ago. Since
that time he has been trying to lose
his Job. His Cns's Sam, for whom he
fought In the civil war. and whom he
has served as faithfully in Ecuador.
insists that he return there. 1t was
only after he a been persuaded at
