INDIANS DEDICATE
A MONUMENT AT
YANKT0N AGENCY

Yanston, S. D., July 10.-At Yankton
Agency last week monument Of much
historic interest was erected by the
Nankton Tribe of Dakota Sioux, who
formerly lived on this town site, once
the home of Chief Struck by the Rec
and his chiefs and braves, The in
scription, Which tells the story, is as
follows:
TO commemorate the treaty be-
tween the United States of America
and the Yankton Tribe of Sioux, or
Dakota Indians; concluded at Wash
the senate, February 49, 1852
Around the base runs the
line: Ihanktunwan- -Yankton-Dakota-
Sioux. Another face reads In mem
ory of the Yankton Chiefs who made
the treaty of 1858, Struck by the Rec,
Black Bear. Medicine Cow. White
Swan, Pretty Boy, Feather in the Ear,
Crazy Bull, Frank Delorie- A third
side contains list of the delegates
who signed the treaty. while the fourth
reads: THE tribal councillors who kept
the peace and saw that the agreements
OF the fifty year treaty were all full
filled" Then followed another list Of
names, many of them familiar to those
acquainted with early Dakota history.
The monument, which is the work Of
the Rapalee Marble Works of Sioux
City, is twelve foot granite shaft and
was only completed after many months
of pow-wows by the Indians, who were
extremely careful about the lettering
and hunted up their history with
painstalling care to insure that no mis-
takes We're made.

ist This resulted in a nervous shock.
which is given as the cause of death.
Governor OrdwaY's home life at his
i,.easant country place ut Waterloo.

stlll survives him. and with her there
during recent years has lived her wild
owed daughter. Mrs. Mabel o. Whit

died within the last ten years.
Governor Ordway was born near
Warner, n. H. in April, 1928, not far
from his country home. EARLY in life
he entered politics. and before he was
30 years old was elected sheriff of Mer-
rimack county, Concord being the coun-
ty seat. This place he filled until 1860,
when President Lincoln appointed him
inspector OF mail service. In 1862 he
was elected sergeant-at-arms of the
house of representatives. To this place
he was reelected five times giving
twelve years of service, and this at a
time When tina duties of the place were
very exciting. His influence in party
politics in his own state of New Hamp-
Shire was always recognized.
In 1875 he was elected to the New
Hampshire constitutional convention
and later to the state senate. In 1880
President Hayes appointed him to the
position OF governor of Dakota, which
was then a territory. AS governor he
served over four years, and in that
time paved the way for the territory S
being divided into the present states
of North and South Dakota. During his
period of service as governor his ac1
tivities included the location and erec-
tion of hospitals for the insane at
Yankton and Jamestown, penitentiaries
at Sioux Falls and Bismarck unlversi-

capitol building at Bismarck and other
structures.
During his twelve years of active SER
,..ce as erseant-at-arms of the house
he was in constant touch with local
as we'll as national affairs. Contem-
porary With the late Governor Shep-
herd he took an active interest in local
matters. and in many directions their
efforts We're in harmony.

TR|pP COUNTY is
CYkOSURE OF HORDE
OF HOMESEEKE[:R|S
Country Greatly Interested in
Opening Which Will Be a
Year Hence.

Washington, July 9.-Ever since con-
gress pushed the bill last February 1p-
ening the Indian lands of Tripp coun-
ty, South Dakota, interest has been
growing and it is declared thousands
tently watching the movements Of the
government with the expectation of
making every effort to secure for them
selves q portion of the land when tho
time comes for action
The act provides that this tract
which embraces nearly million acres,
unusually rich. shall be sold to settlers
on the basis of Sc per acre. The fact
that these lands are situated fairly in
the corn belt region and then that this
is about the last valuable tract of
government lands that will be opened
to settlers in the great northwest lends
additional interest and indicates the
probability of this being the most
largely attended opening the country
has witnessed.
Opening Year Hence.
The date of the opening will be fixed
by the president in special procla-
nation and while no information is
given to the public at this time. it is
generally believed that practically the
same methods adopted in opening the
Gregory county lands three years ago
will be followed. A large number of
towns have already made application
to be named as points of registration.
Up to this time nothing has been done
and no definite information can be OBJ
talned relative to registration points.
1t seems reasonably certain, however,
that the terminals Of the railroads will
be in some of the registration towns,
Further than this, interested ones do
not seem able to have a basis for even
an Intelligent guess Certain is is
that deep interest is abroad concern
ing this millionaire domain. and it
is declared at the general land Office
that no such interest was ever before
manifested In an opening, and that tho
fall Of 1908 will witness the pilgrimagq
of thousands Of people to the OPEN
ing.
