WHEN DEER WERE PLENTIFUL

Just think of hunting deer and see-
ing herds of buffalo wallowing along
practically where Sioux Falls now
stands. That is what Rev. John East
man, a Presbyterian minister, located
at Sisseton has done. Rev. Eastman is
in the city today on his way to Nit
chell to attend the Synod of the Pres
byterian church of South Dakota. From
Mitchell he will go to Yankton and
then return to his home at Sisseton.
81 first saw Sioux Falls in the spring
of 1869. My fathers family was one Of
fifteen that moved from the Sauntee
agency in Nebraska to Moody county
for the purpose of settling on Indian
lands near where Flandreau is now
located. We passed through Sioux
Falls and it was the first time that l
ever set my eyes on what is now such
a beautiful city. Sioux Falls at that
ime consisted of the soldiers barracks,
the small frame hotel (Cataract) and
Towards store.
"In those days there was plenty of
deer hunting in these parts . Deer was
abundant in the timber north of the
city but I think that 1869 or 10 saw
the last of the deer in this immediate
vicinity. As late as 1873 WI journeyed
to the Rock river a where Luverne
is to hunt for deer in the timber in that
section.
1.-THE last herd of buffalo that l ever
saw running wild was in Moody coun-
ty. There were ten or q dozen in the
bunch. This was in June, 1858.
up to six years ago I visited Sioux
Falls every year and. I have watched
the city grow from the three buildings
which l have noted to the handsome
city Of twenty thousand people of to-
day"
