Keep Your Eye on Tony!
Every Pierrette knows the clothier, A.
D. Hengel, better known as "Tony," and
Tom Phillips, the furniture dealer. Both
are well known practical jokers, and will
lie awake at nights to conjure up
schemes to trap one another. Just now
Tony has a horse on Tom, but—well "You
just wait" says Tom.
Tom once followed mining for a living,
and was one of the first gang that entered
the Black Hills, where fabulous sums
were panned out every day, and you can't
fool him on the color of the stuff.
About live years ago Tony bought a
gold nugget of an Indian, which he keeps
in his safe. The other day Phillips came
in while Tony was cleaning out the safe,
and a scheme suddenly struck Tony so
hard that lie nearly fainted with sup
pressed mirth. IIo stepped over to Phil
lips with a mysterious air and said "Tom,
what is that—gold or topper?" Tom's
eyes dilated, but affecting a disinterested
manner ho informed Tony it was only
copper, at the same time asking him to
let him lake it, and to make sure he
would have it tested. Tony gave it to
him, ana inside of ten minutes Jeweler
Huggli* had thoroughly tested It, and
entered into a solemn compact with Tom
to work Tony ax hard as they could for
information as to where he secured It,
and to at once organize a stock company
and proceedlo line their pockets with
millions!
Accordingly Tom returned to Tony and
waited til certain customers left the store
when he approached him and hissed' "Its
the pure stuff, where did you get It?"
Tony feigned excitement and after swear
ing Tom on a stack of clothing never to
divulge—told him he bad picked it out of
a gravel bed that had been opened on his
lots while grading. Tom forthwith
entered into details of how they should
organize a company with as few as possi
ble, taking in Fred Huggins and one or
two others. He then said he would
hitch up his delivery wagon and asked
Tony to go up with him and he would got
one or two pans full, take it home and
wash it and report. Tony agreed and
although It was a bitter cold day, they
went up and Tom threw several shovels
full into a blanket-and took It home.'
The next day he came in to see Tony
and the latter at once asked what the
result was. "I got one or two nuggets
about the size of a pig head." Tony'
csuld contain" himself no longer and the
suggestion of a pin head made him burst.
He backed off behind a pile of clothing
and holding a gun on Tom, told him hew
he got the nugget. Tom does not let on—
but is quietly figuring on Sony's scalp
just the same.
Tlie Funeral Train.
Shortly after 8' o'clock this morning,
the members of the masonic lodge of this
city assembled at the parlor of the Locke
where they took chargo of the remains of
their brother, Hon. Geo. H. .Hand. The
body bad been nicoly embalmed by Un
dertaker Willsey and placod in an elegant
casket. The body looked perfectly nat
ural. The masons, twenty-seven in num
ber, escorted the hearse to the special
train that was in readiness at the depot.
The train was composed of an engine,
baorgage car and coach. The cars were
decked in mourning and those who took
the train were Governor and Mrs. Mel
lette, Judge and Mrs. Kellam.and brother

In.afTecent Issueof the Sioux City Jour
nal^ The judge may have taken pains to
hunt a reporter up.and ask for an Inter
view—bnt that makes i\o difference so We
get to say something about South Da
kota.- I'-
The Interview was as follows:
F. W. Pettlgrew, of Fort Pierre, S. D.,
Is iu tlitteity. Mr. Peltlgrew is a brother
of Senator Pertlgrew, of Sioux Falls, and
has tfeeu the ongineer in charge of the
government surveys of the Sioux reser
vation, He is largely Interested in reser
vation properties in and about Fort
Pierre, is actively engaged in the work of
securing the settlement of the reserva
tion^ and is thoroughly conversant with
the history, geography and resources of
this now historic portion of our countiy.
In
rViow
of the recent legislation by
congress looking to the encouragoment of
the settlement of the reservation, a Jour
nal reporter .sought Mr. Pettigrew's
views on that and other matters of inter
est connected with the reservation. The
gentleman was found at his room in the
Booge, and In response to an inquiry as to
what effect the late legislation would
have.on the settlement of the reserva
tion, said: "It is exactly what is needed.
The old requirements of the payment of
11.25 per acre for lands after a residence of
fourteen months, or a five years residence
on the lands with no payments, before a
title could be obtained, were severe and
amounted almost to a prohibition of set
tlement. Under the new act, which re
quires only a fourteeii months residence
in order to secilrc a clear title to the lands
from the government, the settlement of
the 9,000,000 acres ceded by the Sioux is
bouiid|to be rapid and permanent."
"Bi0 what of the drought stories? Will
not they interfere with the settlement?"
"Not in the least. The drought talk
cannot be applied to the reservation. It
is notdrought-stricken. Last year we
shrvoyed a strip of the reservation sixty
miles long and twelve miles wide, and
there was not a section in tho whole
strip that.wtis not accessible to a bounti
ful supply of water
"Isj^io water supply sufficient for agri
cultural pursuits?"
"Nd|I cannot say that it is, but that is
not Mgessary. The reservation will
nove^fe settled by a crop-raising popu
lation^It Is the coming stock country of
the wait. All the settlers will be stock
men a4d the greater portion of these will
'engajfe ln sheep growing. The dry air
|nd ti|e soil are conditions highly favor
able ~M this industry. They will act as a
preventive, to the disastrous hoof rot that
ho' injKsU the section of country now der
disastrous to the sheep herds."
"What reason have you for anticipat
ing these things for the reservation?"
"Why there is no anticipation about it.
It is a dead certainty. Persons iiave
been looking over the country from ail
portions of Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois and I
from eastern Dakota and southern Ne
braska. and hundreds of them arc going
jto settle in the country. They are tho
best class of settlers, too, and will come
into the country with thousands of dolr
ilars in capital, which will be invested in
sheep principally, and fli horses and cat
jtle. Why, practical stockmen say that a
icow or horse on hoof can be carried
through an entire year at a cost of $1.25."
"Is the country surveyed and ready for
occupation?"
"The southern half of It has already
been surveyed, and with the $40,000 up
propr'ated for the purpose of the entire
survey of the lands will be completed this
year.''
"What will bo done for railroads?" W"
"The Burlington and Missouri River
company will have a'line completed from
Rapid City to Pierre this year, and the
Northwestern and Midland Pacific will
have lines well under way and completed
in a couple of years."
"How about the coal suppl)
"The railroads will bring that from tho
Black Hills country."
"But if some would resort to agricul
ture would Irrigation be practical?"
./ "Only from artesian wells. Artesian
wells can be had anywhere on the reser
vation, or in South Dakota, from DeSmit
on the east to tho Black Hills on the
west."
"What about destitution in the state?"
"It Is not near as gener&l as has been
reported and has been believed in a great
measure. The farmers' alliance has done
a grand work in this respect, and indica
tions are that all farmers who were af
flicted will be amply provided with seed
grain for their year's planting. This des-'
•tltution has not affected the agricultural
districts east of Aberdeen, and I think
[farmers in that section have made money
during the past year.-'
'. "What city will be benefited as a trade
jj^toter by the settlement of the reser
vation?"
^'"1 think Sioux Falls and Pierre-will re
ceive the entire benefit. The Country is
tributary to them, a(bd with its progreA
In-wholesaling and a direct rail eommu
nidation Sloux City can control the trade
$f the new country."
V:Mri'Pettlg(«w says that the solution of
Senatoiftlect TCyle's politics continues to
6e the 'popular Houth Dakota puzzle, and
that it haa 'not yet1 been solved to any
oae's-satlsfactlon. •'"•$58? 4
