Wild Scramble for the Coveted Staseton Lands.

OI'KX FOR 6ETTI.EMENT.

Uitowx's VALLEY, Minn., April 10.— Under a warm and glorious sun the (Treat Sisseton reservation was thrown open to the public at 12 o'clock Friday, and though the rush over the line was milder than most people expected, it was sufliciently exciting and picturesque to please anybody. In fact, it was wildly exciting, and one of the strongest pictures ever expressed to mortal eyes. As early as 5 o'clock in the morning this town and the country around were astir. People were rushing through the streets, jostling one another, making no apology, bringing their last effects and hurrying away again to take up their stand near the border land. Teams from various directions passed throngh the village and disappeared up the valleytoward the border. In two hours scarcely a solitary being could be. found in the town. From the point of entry here to clear along the border so far as the eye could reach a novel sight was presented. Over 1,000 eager home-seekers were scattered and strung out for miles, the line of human beings disappearing in the distance. Many were mounted on broncos, others on livery horses, many in wagons, all anxious for the signal for the race. Many were on foot, waiting, hoping and devoured by nervousness.

The Signal Given.

Men stood with one foot almost on the line with their bodies bent forward as a sprinter awaits a signal. Twelve o'clock came. Up went Col. Barnard's right hand. The bugle pealed forth the order. Firing began instantly. The guards along the line took up the signal, the roar of the carbines sounding fainter and fainter till it died away.

A Wild Scene.

A wild scene followed. The long line of human beings crossed the reservation line like a flash. It was a mad race of man against animal. Through the long line shot the Indian guides and their charges mounted on fleet-footed broncos and riding as if /or their lives, They were soon mere specks on the plain. Then came others on livery horses, lashing them cruelly and speeding along like wind, though the gait could not last. Away off to tho north the horses appeared as if out of the ground and for miles could be seen that wild chase over the plains, the specks finally stringing out in one long chain and soon disappearing. Down the declines, over ruts, stones and everything in their way rushed buckboards, spring and heavy wagons, in each case the driver standing up and lashing the team like, one possessed. In some were seated women hanging tenaciously to the vehicle as it bounded into the air and crashed to earth again. A young woman dashed by on a bronco and by her side rode a .Sioux. Where they had come from 110 one knew. They were late but they were going at railroad speed. Those who had hastened at the first signal were rapidly coming to a halt. Their steeds were exhausted, and those who started slowly at first now began to appearand forge ahead. At least half a dozen became utterly discouraged and turned back towards Brown's Valley. They had been deceived in the horses and many were ready to drop dead with fatigue.

Keports from ail Indian Courier. Between 2,500 and 8,000 settlements will be made. An Indian courier who has just arrived states that already certain parts of the reservation show a surprising change. Indian couriers are expected here from the agency at the end of the Milwaukee road, the place where Distad had proposed locating the town site. It is believed that the eighty acres there have been taken, however, b.y mea from the Sisseton Land Company here who had Indian guides and broncos to meet the train and carry their own men t- the spot. As they are led by Indian Joe Brown, the most experienced scout on the reservation, and have fifteen of the fleetest and toughest bronchos, it is believed that Distad's scheme js defeated and the town site locsfted IS miles northwest of here. That this latter scheme should fail seems utterly impossible. 1*1

111y

nf Vilckiit 1 .a 11

It is now believed that not over 2,500 persons have located claims and that there will be good lands vacant for a week to come. Many are trusting to this, and a large crowd will leave here with guides to-day on the search. Most of the people in the great rush at noon carried compasses. Army officers assert that there were over 500 people located in the reservation in Indian huts in the brush to the west and in the ravines, where the eye of the soldier as he sped along could not reach them. It is believed there will be no trouble, as the reservation is thoroughly policed. Col. Bernard has received orders to hold his troops here for four or five days longer. The excitement has died out here now. Merchants are recovering their senses anil the streets have resumed their customary appearances.

Muclt righting Anticljmted. At the long bridge. Ill miles from here, and on the border line, 8 miles from Wheaton, there was a great clash. The crowds from Wheaton, those from the lake basin and the border line northeast of there, all came together in a confused mass, all striving to reach the coveted lands near the town site in township 127, range! 51. There were several tierce brawls, in which many men were roughly hajulled, but 110 blood was shed. Lieut. t'rabbs thinks there will be some mean lighting in the northern sections. Hundreds of men are

crowding there from Brown's Valley, Wheaton, White Rock, Ilankinson and other points, and, as these are the best lands, all will make a desperate effort to secure hem.

IMuckjr Woman

in t.urk.

Miss Staufer, of North Dakota Miss Deli art, Mrs. Osborne and Mrs. Burnett, of Minneapolis, and Miss Sharp, all returned Friday night, happy in the fact that they located good claims close to the town site. They sat up all night in a tellt, and it was a merry party throughout. Though determined to locate they were materially assisted by the men, who had pledged their assistance and protection.

The .Slwwton IleAwrvHt lull,

(The Sisseton Iinlinu reservation surplus lands that were opened to settlement at noon Friday are located in the northeastern corner of South Dakota, covering most of ltobert county, lapping over on Iho edge of Marshall and Day counties, crossing the panhandle of Grunt and the sharp point ot the Irlangular-shtipcd reservation extending down to the center ot Coddlnitton, a few miles from Watcrtown. The northern base of tho triangle extends over into Sargent and. Richland counties in North Dakota, and for that reason tllllngs may be made at I-'urgo. The lands are rich and numerous lakes cover the entire extent of the reservation, a good portion of which is wooded and of a hilly character. In fact the character of the land's reflects much credit on the judgment of the Sisseton Indians, who chose this land as their reward for their help to the .settlers tn the Indian war of 1888. For nearly thirty years they held the reservation intact but tlnally concluded that they would prefer to have their lands in severalty and live like whites, so the matter was soon arranged, with tho aid of a commission, and Friday's scramble for lands is the result. The Indians have scloctod many of the best lauds on the reservation, but it is estimated that enough for about 4,000 claims of 101 acres euch still remained up to noon Friday.]

On the Oklahoma ltorder.

El. KICN'O, O. T., April 10.—The excitement over the Cheyenne and Arapahoe lands is quieting down, due principally to the fact that new arrivals are materially increasing. The boomers in their wagons continue to pour in all along the border, but the crowd coining in by rail is not as large as that which moved on the Oklahoma country three years ago, and as the tune for the opening draws near it begins to look as though the crowd that will go in will not be nearly as great as that which entered Oklahoma. The soldiers stationed along the northern border estimate that there are 8,500 people on the line east of Cantonment and about 1,000 west. There are perhaps 12,000 people ready to go in from the east and 7,000 or 8,000 in the Washita country, while about 8,000 Texans are drawn up along' the south line. There are not many people on the west line. On the north line, about 10 miles east of Cantonment, there are 1,500 people from western Kansas campcd in one bunch.

TlfBV SOKOIIT REVENOK.

PAKIS, April 1 t'I.—The indictment of Havachol. the anarchist, and his five accomplices, including Marietta Loubert, the mistress of Dealot, which w:is presented Friday, gives the first eon-*, neeted history of the conspiracy in which tho prisoners were iiuplicated. The fa^ts of the ease open in April, ism. when Decamp, an associate of Chaumartin, was eonvicted of wounding a policcman in an affray. The plotters met at Chanmartin's house and arranged a programme of revenge. The first victims selected were Judge Henoit, who presided at the trial that resulted in Decamp's convietiou, and M. Houlot, who prosecuted him.

Making of tho Months.

The indictment details the story of the stealing of dynamite and the making of the bombs by Kavichol, who filled them with a mixture of dynamite, grisoutine .and bits of iron. The conspirators also planned* to blow up the police station at Clichy on March 7. Uavaehol, Sitnon and Hcatot went to the police station, carrying wiiii them a saucepan loaded with dynamite, and thev had a number of fuses ready for use. When they arrived at the station they found an officer standing in the doorway. and his presence foiled their design. The indictment next details the explosiou at the residence of Judge Benoit in the boulevard St. tlennaiu. and how, failing to kill the judge, they made the second attempt: how Uavaehol and his follow conspirators, working by recipes they had procured from the International (newspaper), made a bomb and filled it with nitro-glyecrine, mining powder and sebastine.

Tn l!!o\« I'p the Palun? of Justice. The evidence of a womun named Chevelier is embodied in the indictment. She describes how, upon entering the room in which the conspirators were at work, she saw Simon holding a vessel as large as the crown of a hat, while Uavaehol was pouring drops of something into the receptacle. Chaumartin was stirring the mixture with a spoon.

Uavaehol, the indictment states, aloije effected the explosion at the residence of Prosecutor Houlot in the Hue Clichy. lie placed the explosive compound under the staircase, in the belief that none of the inmates of the house could possibly escape death.

The indictment also reveals the fact that the prisoners were, engaged in a plot to blow up the palais de justice at a time when it was most crowded.

A TERItlttl.K STOKM.

pKTKitsiiruo, Va., April 1(5.—'The counties contiguous to.Petersburg were visited Thursday night by a most terrific wiud, rain and hailstorm, the severest ever experienced in this section of the state. The storm was particularly destructive in Dinwiddie county, where the wind attained the velocity of a cyclone and left death and destruction in its path. It covered an area of 15 miles, beginning in the center of the county ami extending to the Sussex county line. to within a short distance of Stony Creek, a station ou the Petersburg & Weldcn railroad it) miles from Petersburg. Houses, barns and fences wenleveled to the ground, and immense trees which had stood the storms of half a eentury or more were torn out by the roots, while others had their limbs twisted into all conceivable shapes.

A Woman Ktlleil.

During the storm the residence Milton R. Rose, owner of a 1 arjrr sawmill, was taken by the wind from its foundation and carried into the air, and falling some yards away was crushed to pieces, the timbers falling upon .Mrs. Rose anil her children. Mrs. Rose was instantly killed but the children escaped uninjured. It is stated that a servant girl employed by Mrs. Rose who was in the house at the time was also killed. Mr. Rose was not at home at the time of the cyclone.

DHmRKO by llall.

It is feared that other damage not vet reported has been done liy tlie Hurricane. The storm was also very severe in Chesterfield county, in the vicinity of the county courthouse, where there was a heavy fall of hail, which did much damage in the way of breaking window glasses, cutting vegetation to pieces and destroying fruit trees.

At Norfolk und Vicinity.

NORFOLK, Va.. April 18.— A cyclone struck this section about o'clock Thursday night and left destruction in its wake. The wiud attained a velocity of 00 miles an hour, and hail as large as small nut* fell.
