Status OF the Half Breed-Judge
Garland Rules on the Rights OF
Mixed Blood lndians-Sioux Wo-
man Retains Her Land.

Judge Garland, of United States court
in Sioux Falls, has just rendered u deci-
sion which is of far reaching importance
as defining the rights and status OF fuli
blood and mixed blood Indians.
The decision was rendered in the case
of Mrs. Jane f. Waldron VS.. the United
States, Black Tomahawk and Ira "A.
Hatch, as United States Indian agent at
the Cheyenne River agency. n valuabl
tract of land adjoining the Fort Pierre
townsite was directly involved in the
case, which has been pending through all
the various branches of the land depart
ment Of the United States since Feb. 10,
1890.
Mrs. Waldron, who is a highly educated
mix blood Indian woman, is a member OF
what is known as the Two Kettle band
of Sioux Indians, living on the Cheyenne
River reservation, and established her
residence on the land in controversy III
July, 1889. Since that time she has re-
sided on the land with her family.
She was residing upon the tract at the
time 100000 acres Of the Great Sioux
reservation, situated between the Mis-
souri, River and the Black Hills, in west
ern South Dakota, was opened to settle
ment on Feb. 10, 1890, under an act OF
congress approved March =, 1889. Sub
sequently Black Tomahawk, who is a
full blood Sioux Indian, claimed the tract
as his allotment. 1t has been charged
that he was induced to claim the land by
some townsite boomers" who evidently
were DESTROYS of securing the land
through him so it could be divided into
town lots and placed upon the market,
Judge Garland, in this connection, de-
cides that Black T~omahawk's settlement
on the land was mot in good faith, but
in the interest Of Others
Black Tomahawk in due time applied
for a patent to the land, and after the
case had been fought through the local
and general land offices and to the secre-
tary of the interior, he was granted a
trust patent to the disputed tract. This
patent was approved by the secretary of
the interior on Dec. 10, 1898. The pat
ent was issued TO him on the ground that
Mrs. Walden was not an Indian i'll the
full meaning of the term.
Subsequently United States Indian
Agent Hatch was instructed to rem"ve
Mrs. Waldron and her family from the
land. She then instituted the suit which
has just been decided by Judge Garland,
and which has resulted in al overwhelm-
ing victory for her.

BANK BUILDING COLLAPSES.
Gladstone Walls Fall Down at
Mitchell.

An unfortunate accident happened to
the new building of the Commercial Saw
ings Bank at Mitchell Wednesday after
noon at 5 o'clock, the walls Of the first
story of which were completed.
The east half of the south wall gave
way and it collapsed, and the timbers in
falling partially pushed out the north
wall. The inner part of the wall was
backed up with Gladstone rock, which
became softened by the rains of the past
few days and would not bear the weight.
Six or eight masons barely escaped seri-
Gus injury. The building will be delayed,
as the walls will have to be torn down,
which will mean a heavy loss.

Fortunately the tornado missed the
small towns in the section through which
1t swept, but it zigzagged in such a way
as to take in the homes of many farmers
aud stock ~raisers in the section.
At Jacksboro the force OF the wind was
terrific. The Baptist church and twenty
other buildings were blown off their
foundations and a number of buildings
were totally destroyed.

Horton and Henry Wesser and family
were also injured. At Montague no lives
were lost In the town, but in the coun-
try there was great loss Of life report
ed. The wires are down in all directions
and it is difficult to get particulars. Ten
persons are known to be dead in the
neighborhood and unconfrmed reports
are TO the effect that the list will 20 rs
high as forty. Most of those killed lived
III Salt Creek, along which the tornado
swept with special force.
At Nocona the tornado passed a few
miles to the south and latest lists give the
dead at fourteen and the injured ut forty
one.
a reliable man at Nocona, who has
been over the scene, says that reports
were being received of the dead when he
left and he places the loss of life ut
sixty. Owing to the widely separated
homes and the fact that in many in
stances whole families were wiped out,
details and names are hard to get.

SWEPT BY A FLOOD.
Fort Pierre In the Path of a Rag
ing Torrent.

A Pierre, 3. d., special says: Instead
of the gala day which had been planned
for the people OF Fort Pierre Tuesday
wreck and desolation is their portion.
The re3idence section of theI place,
which wax south of Bad Rive6, was
swept Monday by a food in Bal River,
which took most Of the people out Of
their homes to places of safety, and
about midnight the crest of the HOOD
swept houses and contents into the yell
low waters of the swollen Missouri. All
told, about fifteen buildings went down
the stream, most of them residences, car.
rying all the contents.
The steel bridge across Bad River was
carried out and sunk in the main channel
the mouth of Bad River.
While it is not practically certain that
any lives We're lost, several persons are
missing and have not been located up
to the present, but as many people are
camped i'll tents on the bluffs south of
the torrent the missing may be among
them.
AS there is no communication except
by boat down the Missouri on the north
side of the river Il number Of business
places We're flooded by the Missouri and
Bad Rivers, the losses being principally
to merchants with stocks in Easements.
The loss up the Bad River valley must
be heavy, but the roads are in such CON
dition from swollen streams that no re-
ports have yet come in. 1t is the worst
Hood ever known on that stream, the old.
est residents of Fort Pierre failing to re.
call anything equal to it.
Bad River has been a center of atten-
ton for Pierre residents all day, the ex-
c~ursion boats being crowded on every
trip. While the smaller streams run.
ming into that river are in such a con-
dition that it is almost impossible to
travel, occasionally reports from up the
stream indicate heavy damage for miles.
One family drifted down the stream in
a floating house for about ten miles be-
fore it lodged, and they were taken out
in boats just a short distance from the
Missouri.
A rescue party has gone up the
stream where two people, supposed to be
j. n. Douglas and wife, nave been in
trees since Monday morning. a rescue be-
ing impossible with the torrent coming
down.
Practically half the citizens of Fort
Pierre are without homes to go to, and
many are penniless.

INDIANS GET DIVORCE.
Another Indication of the Civiliza-
ton Of the Sioux.

The Sioux Indians are becoming lib
eral patrons of the South Dakota divorce
courts. On the calendar for terms of
courts in the counties bordering on the
Sioux reservation invariably are a num-
Der of cases instituted by Indians for
the purpose of securing divorces. Sew
eral such cases were tried during Il recent
term of state circuit court in Gregory
County. In one of them, Iron Star, a
typical Sioux warrior, was the plaintiff.
He charged his wife, Her Blanket, with
desertion. and was able to prove his
charges and secure a legal separation.
John Famous Thunder was the name Of
another Indian patron of the divorce mill.
He also was granted a divorce from his
wife, Lucy Famous Thunder, Oh the

Although it must be admitted that the
outlook for inducing congress to relieve
settlers on the ceded portion of the Rose
bud Indian reservation from paying the
stipulated price for the land is somewhat
dIscouraging, the settlers who are behind
the movement evidently propose to wage
an energetic campaign in behalf Of the
proposed legislation.

the purpose of organizing clubs among
