Waterloo, Oct. 27.-The recent story

that a white man who had married an
Indian wife near Chamberlain, S. D.,
had two beautiful daughters. one is
and one 90 and the parents We're anX-

has had good results AS an induce
ment it vas said the parents would
give 5000 with the hand of either
daughter, with only one condition, and
that was that the prospective hus-
bands should be approved by the par
ents.
Since then numerous inquiries have
been made by personal calls, by letter
and by telephone by young men who
would win the hands of these South
Dakota maidens. Among the appli-
cants is graduate of the law ana
collegiate departments of the Iowa
State University, who says in his let
ter. II am anxious to wed an Indian
bride and break thru the conventions"
The exodus to South Dakota on this
mission may assume the proportions OF
