Rush Impatiently Awaited. The opening of these lands has been awaited with much Impatience for years. Four years ago the opening of that part of the Rosebud reservation lying In Gregory county brought a rush of 106,000 persons. The high value of the lands was doubted at first , bnt that doubt has vanished. These farms have proven to bo wonderful producers , and some of them have changed hands at a consideration of from $4,000 to $10,000. Thus the forth coming opening of Trlpp county em bracing similar , or even better , lands has been anxiously expected.

Fashionable young women of pro nounced refinement , many of whom had scarcely more than attained their necessary twenty-one years , wont out into their claim shack's and compiled with the homestead law. They made their homes there on a wild piece of land , twenty , thirty , and even forty miles from a railroad , fearless of either cowboys or the Indians , read popular books , played their pianos , and otherwise passed away the time until the day arrived when they could prove up on their claims and secure from the government a patent for their farms. They had the proverbial "nerve. " And a six-shooter lay be side the latest novel on the bunk.

These lakes , or ponds , ranging from half an acre to several acres in sixe , were , filled with fish. In consequence thousands of fish are either dead or dying. In the lakes where the water hns not en tirely ( Tis-appeared , su'ch as Chain lake , fish can be taken up by hand. Mr. Mapes secured several messes tills way. The dead and dying * fish furnish abundant feasting for the herons and thunder pumpers , which are numerous in that locality.
