Uncle Sam to Throw Open
LastofGreatI Indian
Lands Next Month
LAND IS DECLARED VALUABLE.
Are you landless?

Are you landlesS!
Do you want farm for songs
Well, here's the government about
to hand out nearly half million of
new, rich land in one of the last Of
it's big land lotteries.
These are the facts. Your Uncle
Sam is going to squeeze back another
bunch of redskins, towit, the. Sioux
tribes that now hold forth on Rosebud
and Pine Ridge reservations in South
Dakota. He's going to shove poor Lo
back far enough to sell some 5000
farms, dirt cheap, to bona fde home
steaders. No spectators need apply.
Registration commences Oct 9, con-
tinuing until Oct. y, during which time
applicants for land may hand in their
names at Dallas, Gregory and Rapid
City. Oct. "a, the drawing will com
mence. The first name drawn out of
the pile of sealed applications will be
given first choice of the farms to be
opened up. Often that first choice
is worthy many thousands of dollars.
And then the drawing will continue
until the last name is read out.
Immediately after the drawing the
successful applications will be notified
by the United States land department.
At that time notice will be given them
as to~the time and place of entry, that
is, the time when the winners may en-
ter upon the reservations In this case
entries will be made beginning April l,
1912. Any winner neglecting TO make
entry at the time and place designated
by the land office loses out. The next
in line moving up. So that should
there be some disappointed ones at the
drawing, they may still stand chance
of getting homestead by others above
them failing to make entry at the
proper time.
1t is expected that great many
more people will apply than there are
farms to be given away, so it ism t ad-
visable to pack up the household furni-
ture before you hear your name read
out among the first 5000.
These 466,562 acres of the two reser.
vations are well watered, within reach
of railroads, and exactly suitable for
agricultural purposes. Small gains,
such as wheat and oats, yield good
crops. This is part of the great Sioux
range, where in the old times millions
Of buffalo grazed.
The lands have been classified and
appraised by the government, and a
nominal price of from 25 cents to So
an acre has been established. Payment
may be made in annual installments
covering a period of five years.
The Indians who again get it in the
neck are descendants of Sitting Bull,
Red Cloud and Kicking Bear, and
their followers who massacred Gus
ter's command in 1876 and were routed
at Wounded Knee, S. d., in 1891 They
will be assigned land adjoining the
section to be opened up.
Applicants will be permitted to go
through the land to inspect it with
view of making their choice-if they
win.

Mrs. Frank Van DerWee Nam.
ed Defendant insults Claim
ing $4,000 for SANDER
WELL KNOWN WOMENASK BALM

Mrs. Faithful Van Derwee, wife of
Frank Van ,Derwee, residing at 920
Market street, has been named as de-
PENDANT in two suits for $4,000 each
which were filed in the municipal court
this morning by Attorney Calvin
Stewart. The suits are actions for
Islander and are among the most SEN
sational ever brought in Kenosha.
The plaintiffs in the two suits are Miss
Sigrid Youngquist, 225 Lyman avenue
and Miss Agnes Hansen, III Brockett
street. Both of the plaintiffs are well
known in the city.
The suits for SANDER which are the
first suits of the nature filed in the
local courts for many years, are based
on statements which Mrs. Van Derwee
is alleged to have made in regard to
the young women. Each of the young
women demand damages to the amount
of $4,000.
According to the complaints Mrs.
Van Derwee about thirty days ago
made statements to divers persons in
regard to the two young women and
the attorney alleges that the state
ments were of most sensational and
slanderous nature. In the complaints
for damages the young women declare
that there was absolutely no founda-
tion for the statements made by the
defendant and that they were made
with view n injuring the reputation
of the two young women.
It is claimed by the plaintiffs that
as result of these stories being wide
ly circulated by Mrs. Van Derwee that
they have suffered greatly both in
mind and body and that the result
has been the undermining of their
health.
Mrs. Van Derwee is said to have a
large amount of property in Chicago.
She has not as yet fled any answer to
the two suits for damages, but it is
expected that the cases viii come up
for trial at the October term of the
municipal court.
In discussing the cases Attorney
Stewart declared, that the slanderous
tongue was working overtime in Ke-
nosha just at present and that he was
hopeful that the action of the two
young women in bringing the action
would have a tendency to hit the Cos
sips hard.

ciated Charities of Kenosha met in
regular monthly session at the Office

one dollar a year, and having the APP
prevail of majority of the board pre-
sent at any regular meeting, may
become eligible. Any one paying more
than a dollar a year shall not be re-
quired to pay the one dollar fee in
addition. ANY one paying one hundred
dollars or more, may become a life
member.
1t is urged that the people of our
city interest themselves in taking
membership and in informing them
selves as to the methods of the work
being done. Soon a careful report will
be issued making plain to the citizens
what has been accomplished in the
first five months of the existence of
the association.
Application for membership should
be made to the president, Rev. Edgar
e. Farrill, or any member of the board

of the men from the station. Sunday
morning more than fifty of the recruits
at tho station came to Kenosha and
spent the day here. Many of them
were in uniform and they proved to
be quite an attraction for the girls
of Kenosha. Waukegan has barred the

now the nearest city where the men
may go to spend their Sundays. The

physician had been in attendance on
the little girl before death that a
coroner's inquest was unnecessary
