INDIANS ARE WILLING
TI'O TO RESERVATION.
OF WHITES CALL
AT ELBoWoODs AND PRE-
SENT NATTER.
Red Men Wish to Wait for Visit From
Special Agents Before Making a
Final Answer.

Last Saturday a large number OF
Ryderites journeyed to Elbowoods
says the Ryder News, where cele.
bration was given by the Indians Of
several days duration, and when the
council between the Indians and
whites was to be held to discuss the
opening of the reservation. On Sun
day evening the council was held, a
large platform having been erected
for the white visitors, and the Indians
were grouped around it. Ryder was
represented by the following delega-
ton:
President H. C. Miller and Secre-
tary B. A. Dickinson of the Ryder
Commercial club, and Messrs. H. E.
Johnson, o. ]. Bye, D. Casley, A. c. o.
Lomen.'
Plaza also had delegation present.
The Indians appointed the follow
ing to speak for them: Sitting Bear,
Tom Smith, Frank Packanaw, Spotted
Weasel, Black Eagle and Fast Dog
two for each tribe. Joe Packanaw
interpreted for the Mandans and Pet
er Beauchamp acted in like capacity
for the Arikaras and eros Ventres.
Messrs. Miller and Dickinson address
ed the Indians, explaining xhe advan-
tages to them if the reservation could
be opened.
The Indians replied in a courteous
manner, saying that they were glad
our people came down there and were
SO friendly to them; that they were
not opposed to the opening, but want
ed to defer action ill the visit of the
special agent from Washington. This
was, of course, perfectly satisfactory
to our people, whose only object in
making the visit was to create more
favorable sentiment for the opening
among the Indians and in that were
entirely successful. The delegation
made the acquaintance of all the big
chiefs, and were treated with rare
courtesy during their stay there.
1t seems that the Indians were
somewhat displeased because the bill
for the opening had been introduced
before they were consulted, but when
it was explained that this was done
simply to bring the mater to a head
and that they would not be forced to
do anything that they did not wish,
they were all apparently reconciled,
and their usual expression Of pleasure
"How, Howl" was heard in all direc-
lions.

Travelling Man Called Back From Mi

break in the second round yesterday
when he held the little god in check
long enough to get dismissal of the
charge Of grand larceny which had
been made against him..
He had been brought down from

Bismarck young woman, who alleged
that Dunn had taken her diamond
ring. When the prisoner was taken
into court the case was dismissed for
want of prosecution.

Land FOR. ENTRY Is
Being FAST TAKEN Up
TIME FOR EASY ACQUISITION OF
FARM HOMES IS rapidly
PASSING.
Former Days and Easy Methods Re-
called BY North Dakota Magazine Of
Recent Date.

According to a report just complet
ed by the land Office there are but
$3.50 acres of open land left out Ct
the 7,7o7 900, which was included in
the original district. The fact that
the original district, however, includ'
ed Mckenzie and all Of Williams must
be taken into consideration, as since
that time the Williston land Office
has been created.
The land hat is left is apportion-
ed as follows:
Mclean, $50; Mountrail 22,O10;
Ward, 1900; Williams 1900. This
last issue of the North Dakota Mag.
azine says in this connection:
Only few years ago the enterpris-
ing settler in North Dakota could
with good management quite easily
become the owner of some 480 acres
of the rich soil which Uncle Sam
was holding In trust To- his favored
children. The first move in acquiring
this snug little plat of real estate was
by filing on a pre-emption. which
under the land laws then prevailing,
could be purchased at the end of six
months by payment of slips or $3.50
per acre according. as the tract was
within or without the railroad grant,
Of the Northern PACING railway. Title
having been secured to this 160-acre
piece the settler could then take up
a homestead, to which title could al
so be secured, either at the end 4ot
five years. continuous residence, free
of cost, or else by committing at the
government price at the end Of a
fourteen months period of residence,
In addition to these two ways an
additional $50 acre tract could be
\ filed on under the tree claim law
and title secured to same by COM
plying with the very easy conditions
demanded by the government. Thus
with reasonable industry and 9 small
expenditure Of money, $50 acres Of
land could be secured by any one In. |
dividual. IN s;. ssf 5
Now, however, this is all changed.
Such has been the rapidity with
which the public domain has been
taken up, that 1t was found neces-
sary, IN the interest OF the greater
to curtail the amount which
,ould be acquired BY one person, and
he present law permits the acquisi.
don Of one 100 acre tract only, and !,

THE WALKING IS CROWDED.

Lightning put the big dynamo at
the capitol power house on the bum
the other evening and as a result
the street car service has been dis
continued and will probably not be
resumed until Monday or Tuesday,
and in the meantime all parties hav-
ing business at the state house will
have to follow in the footsteps of Ed
mund Payson Weston.

and landed with crash on the side

crowd that had gathered, as he stiff-
" arose. That's my club, the Ninth
precinct. : I'm Smith man, and there
are ten Jones men in there. I'm go
ing back to them. You stay here and
count them as they come out Of the
window. Il He limped back into the
club. There; was a great uproar. then
a figure crashed through the window
and struck the sidewalk with q ter
rible noise. That's one." said the
crowd. mo-" said the figure, rising:
don't start counting yet-it's me
