has the distinction of having made
the last homestead entry at Water
town, the number of his entry being
26,5OS.
During the opening of the Sisseton
reservation, the majority of the en-
tries We're made through the Water
town office, and the rush rivaled thai
att the recent opening of the Rosebud
reservation. 1t has been the scene of
many bitter contests, as we'll as the
setting for picturesque gatherings in
the early days when the red men were
frequent callers. OLD timers feel that
they have sustained a personal loss in
the removing of the office from the city
but no real hardship will be entailed,
as all the land in this section of the
state has been proved up on, and the
northern tier of counties can reach Abb
erdeen as easily as WATERFOWL. Re
ceiver Mowrey will enter the employ of
Armour & Co, at st. Paul, as soon as
he gets the supplies on their way to

good team Is worth $500. These horses

the wages been so high or the prices Of
horses SO great as now.
