Several : changes have occurred
round about Merriman : in the last
few weeks as follows :
Mr. Basels bargain store has
been sold to Milton Cumins of
I Pine Ridge agency , who is pre
paring to move it on Lake creel :
where he desires to become a gal
lant Indian trader.
The next important matter , is
the changing hands of the Anchor
bank , Metzger Bros. , the main
guys of the churn ranch and Mr.

having bought it of E. M. Fuller.

Ami now . comes the news from
Pine Ridgethat Major McGlon
thlin , special Indian inspector , is
there on the ground with the Gam
ble bill to open up what was Lug-
enbeel county but changed by the (
last legislature to Bennett county.
r This county is about 50 miles long
and 25 miles wide and lays along
the Nebraska line in South Da-
I kota. ! It embraces the best lands
on the reservation and so far as
i
known all residents of the county
are in favor of opening it up.
They appear to want to join the
union , so mote it be. But the
great council will come off at Al-
len , S. D. , Sept. 15 , and then the
writer will try to send in full de
tails.

EDITOR DEMOCRAT :
I have just received the report
from the big council on the reser-
vation for the opening to settle
ment of about one-third of the
Pine Ridge reservation. This re
port says that on the morning of
the 15th the Indians of the Pine
Ridge reservation was found in
one of their large council houses
on Bear creek , near , Allen , S. D. ,
and it seemed that the opening of
a part of this reservation was go-
ing to be fought to the bitter end
by what is known as the big.
Dglala consul , headed by Charlie
lurning Hawk of Kyle , S. 1) . ,
and supported by a wireless tele-
graph from most of the employees
of the agency. One of these em-
ployees went KO far in the matter
as to swipe a petition for the open-I
ing and turned or had it turned . I .

over to the opposition. The pe
tition was run down and Mr
i Turning Hawk had to produce ,
I but this official is so used to swip-
I ing things it was taken as a force
' of habit. The agent at Pine Ridg
'I
and some guests attended the
I council and heard all the opposi-
tion arguments , and the good peo-
ple for the opening commenced.
You just bet your ; boots they got
out quick for they knew what was
coming things didn't go through
right. The winning was so easy.
All went off with a smile. This
third of the reservation to be op
ened is the best land and we are
still fighting for a railroad. The
writer perhaps will hear more
news from these parts and will re-
! I , port at once , as everybody is in -
I terested in the opening up of all
graft corners and of moving the
light from under the bushel. We
say amen to all that's been done
I and will look forward to better
! conditions for our neighbors on
I the north for in our'opinion ; they
are deserving. TltAVJ : LEn .
Settlement Right.
Persons who expect to file on
homesteads in Tripp county next
month after the drawing that is
I
now going on is over , will be in-
terested in knowing that the land
office has decided that settlers ! may ;
squat on the unentered lands after
midnight on Sept. 30 , getting in
I that way the first right to it.
Squatters must make some act of
I
settlement such as the starting of
a house or the turning of some sod.
Two competent witnesses to these
facts must be prepared to swear
to them if necessary.
Dallas and Gregory are crowded
, with men who are waiting the
time to come when they may squat
and secure a home and it is ex-
I pected that every quarter of de
sirable unentered land will be
I
taken on that date. - Burton ' In-
