vorce suit Of Mrs. Nellie Narregang
against 8. w. Narregang, which has
been before the district court here for

THERE ARE 1000
CHOICE CLAIMS ON
THE RESERVATION
State Completes Selection Of
$4,000 Acres of Best Unal-
lotted Lands.

Pierre, s. D., Nov. 26.-N. M. Hansen.
of the state land department, has COM
pleted the selection of I, 1000 acres OF
indemnity lands for the state on the,
Standing Rock and Cheyenne reserva-
tons in lieu Of sections 16 and SO in
each township, which Indians have
chosen as allotments.
According to his estimate there are
about 1000 claims which the govern
ment denominates first class and for
which the maximum appraised price
will be paid. He is also of the opin-
ION that much Of the second class land
will be taken as readily as the first,
since 1t is scheduled at a cheaper
price.
The lands along either side of the
Moreau river, extending as far as.
Thunder Butte on the north and Fox
Ridge on the south, are the most de-
sirable to be found on the two reser-
vations.
The state in making it's selections
Is limited to two sections in a bunch,
being restricted from making selec-
ton OF large tracts in solid order as
has been the practice heretofore.
