LAND FOR HoMESTEApERS.
Three Million Acres to Be Thrown
Open Next Fall West of Mission
River


Not since that day when the saga
cious William Penn bought Pennsyl-
vania from his red friends has there
been a deal made which was quite
so satisfactory to the Indians a. that
whereby the white man will be given
possession of the magnificent stretch
of territory now included in the
Cheyenne River and Standing Rock
reservations, which Is to be opened to
settlement during the coming fall. o
The Sioux who DO the freighting for
the cattlemen to the west of lie Beau
are not only reconciled to the deal
they made with Maj. Mclaughlin for
Ceding their land to the government,
but they feel assured that they have
laid the foundation for their fortunes.
A generation back they were fight
ing with scalping knives to keep the
whites out of their country. They
held to the reserve just across the
river from lie Beau with a tenacity
that demonstrated their love of the
soil. For a hundred years these Teton
Sioux had held this country as their
choicest hunting ground: the land of
their fathers and favorite pasture of
their buffalo, they chung to long after
they had left the way open into the
Black Hills and the great hunting
grounds on the Republican river in
the Big Horn country.
Now they are a tribe of traders and
farmers; their young men do the
f%reighting for the cattlsmen and ride
the ranges for them. There are scores
Of men Just past middle age who have
rich farms west o. the river who,
thirty odd years ago, were among
the fiercest Of the followers Of Sitting
Bull when he made his last stand on
the Little Big Horn and destroyed
Custer and his men. They regard the
coming Of the white man to settle on
the 5000. 600 acres they have ceded as
the n thing necessary to give their
WI holdings substantial value, and
they have held many pow-wows dur
ing the winter in which they discussed
meal of making the opening of the
reservation profitable to themselves.
This land to be opened next fall will
attract a greater %concourse of people
than has eve been seen at a like
event. The immense territory to be
opened, and its fertility, has already
impressed prospective settlers to the
extent of bringing a lot Of people to
this point. OF course, no one will be
allowed on the reservation until it is
formally opened; but there has been
a good deal OF spying on the promised
land this winter.

Not since the early days of settle
ment has the influx of new settlers to
South Dakota been SO great as at
present and during the past few
weeks. Predictions that South Dakota
will this year add anywhere from 20
900 to 10000 new settlers to it's popu-
lation promise to be fully borne out.
The new settlers for several weeks
have been pouring into the state in
a steadily increasing stream. They
come from all the states of the west
and middle west. Several thousand
are arriving in the s~outh-central por-
ton of the state alone. being those
who were fortunate enough to draw
homesteads in Trip county at the
gigantic movement land drawing last
fall, and who in the near future will
be permitted to make entries on the
land which they drew. With these
Trip county homesteaders are many
hundreds of other new settlers, who
are locating upon thai portion of
Gregory county which formerly was
embraced in the Rosebud Indian res
ervation.
So great is the influx of new set
tiers to that and other portions of
the state that special trains are re-

that their localities are receiving their

WIFE GETS
Recreant Spouse Must Now Pay Back
to Wife Money She Loaned Him.

Because the jury believed that he
borrowed nearly $4,000 from his wife
when they were living together In
Omaha, under promise of returning II
when he became heir to some rich es-
tates, Mrs. Mildred O. Cuthbertson
was given a verdict in the circuit
court at Deadwood of $4,000 against
her %recreant spouse. The case was
bitterly fought. the defendant, Edward
vi. Cuthbertson, a travelling a
formerly of Omaha, appearing In per-
son and denying in toto the charge Of
his wife.
The couple have been estranged for
some time. About a year ago the de-
PENDANTS father died, leaving an es-
tate of about $25, 900. When young
Cuthbertson failed to pay the alleged
debt his wife brought suit. She
claimed that her husband had expen-
sive tastes which she gratiied with
frequent loans. One large loan he IL
said to have made to invest in sheep
in Montana, but did not follow up his
intention. The wife is now suing him
for divorce.
In another suit brought by the same
plaintiff against her mother-in-law
Mrs. Isabella Cuthbertson, she was
not so fortunate. Plaintiff alleged that
in 1902 defendant and her young
daughter were maintained by plaintiff
at an Omaha boarding house where de-.
PENDANT and her married son, Bert
Brown Of Omaha, resided. Since de-
PENDANT shares in the Cuthbertson es-
tate. plaintiff held that defendant was
able to remunerats and the jury al.
lowed the plaintiff $50.

It's Latin name is Lileum. In the
world there are 1900 kinds of lilies.
The Gigantic lily grows across the
seas in New South Wales. But lilies
grow all over the world. The lily has
been celebrated in song and story for
hundreds Of years. A very celebrated
woman, by the name of Julia Ward
