Alex Rencounter, Historic Character
Of Northwest, Passes Away.
Alexander Rencounter. famous as
an interpreter and guide, is dead at
Lower Brule from a stroke of apo
plexy. ALEX" knew every foot of the
Missouri valley. country from St.
Louis to Fort Benton, and his
services in the old days were in great
demand. He acted as guide and in
terpreter for Father De Smet on that
missionary's second visit to the Sioux
nation. In 1866 he accompanied Gen.
w. F. Sherman and Gen George Sully
on their trip up the river, when they
located the site of the agencies and
forts from Yankton to Fort Benton.
He was official interpreter for the
entire Sioux nation at the discussion
Of the treaty which coded the Black
Hills strip to the government and
opened the way to the gold country.
Alex counted among his personal
friends John Lawler, general manager
Of the Milwaukee road, whom he as
sisted during the negotiations for a
right of way to the Missouri river
Having from early youth associated
with white people Mr.. Rencounter had
lost nearly every trace of Indian &C.
cent and mannerism, and was the
most progressive of the older element
on the reservation.

Railroad Wins $4,000 Damage Suit
Brought by Former Yardmaster.
Judge Garland Of the United States
court, in the damage suit instituted
by William G. Mcconnell of Sioux
Falls against the Omaha Railroad
company, after a trial lasting about
two days, directed the jury to return a
verdict in favor of the defendant rail-
road company, and this was done.
Judge Garland based his action on tho
federal statute in such cases.
Mcconnell sought to recover dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 from the
railroad company for the loss of leg
while he was acting as yardmaster in
The Sioux Falls yards of the company.
The attorney for Mcconnell states
that an appeal will be taken from the
action of Judge Garland, and that the
status OF the state statute regarding
contributory negligence will be estab-
lished as the result of the appeal.

Special Agent Of the Government In
vestigates at Fort Meade.
Special agents of the government
are now at Fort Meade, where they
are investigating the surrounding
country in view of the expected en-
largement at the post. One of the
first requirements for making Fort
Meade a brigade post, which Secre-
tary Taft has practically promised, Is
the acquisition of more territory, and
it is the plan to secure enough to give
the post one whole township. The
brigade post entails three regiments
and necessarily many more buildings,
and 1t is estimated that the total ex-
penditure, If such a change is made,
will be more than 100000. While no
definite statement of the governments
intention has been made, it is general
ly accepted that the present visit Of
the agents is forerunner of the brig
ade post and a much more important
army reservation.

The reason schy e Golden Medical Dis

boils, carbuncles and other swellings, it
is important that DIR. Pierce's Golden

Big Territory viii Be Offered to
Settlers.
Watertown is rejoicing over the
publication Of the following telegram:
IS. X. Way, WATERFOWL, s. D.:
Passed bill opening reservation in
senate to-day practically as reported.
Robert J. Gamble"
This means the beginning of the
opening OF an empire covering over
100000 acres to which WATERFOWL is
the front door.
AS passed the bill provides for the
opening of strip eighteen miles wide
and fifty miles long west from the
Missouri river at LIE Beau. The west
end of this strip connects with strip
running north and south thirty-six
miles wide and 120 miles long, extend
Ing from the Cannon Ball river in
North Daota to the Cheyenne river in
South Dakota, and including in this
state practically all OF Schanasse
county.
An idea of the size of this territory
which the bill opens for settlement Is
gained when it is remembered that
the State of Connecticut could be set
down in it and there be enough left to
make half of Rhode Island. But one
acre of the South Dakota land will
raise of its own strength of what
three acres of the worn-out New Eng
land farms now produce.
That it will be quickly settled is an
assured fact both from the limited
amount of government land left for
homesteading and because of the ease
with which this new territory can be
reached.
