that tne Minneapolis & St. Louis road

people of Pierre during the state cap

standing ofter to deed it to the railroad
company which would iron it. At
various times there have been rumors
that the Milwaukee lino or the Great
Northern were preparing to comply
with the terms of the Pierre offer, but
nothing ever materialized. The grade
passes through a rich agricultural
country, and would provide a short

state and the state capital.
BUFFALO BTLL
Pap* Annual Vint to Black
Hills Joined the
Teetotalers.
Dead wood, March 99.-Col. William
F. Cody, otherwise known to fame as
"Buffalo Bill," has come, paid bis au
nual visit in Deadwood. and gone.
This time the veteran plainsman im
parted a genuine surprise when it was
learned that for the first time in his
life he had joined the ranks of the
teetotalers. The colonel's yearly trip
to Deadwood is looked upon by the old
timers as an occasion when they all
meet and recall the days when the west
was young and Cody is no si inch of a
story teller.
But tnings have changed, Cody has
not quite made up his mind to advocate
prohibition, but his friends here now
declare that they will not be surprised
at snch au announcement. For three
solid hours the scout and his chum
of the plains days, M. R. Russell,
made^the rounds of the one time bauuts
of "Wild Bill" Hickox, Calamity Jane
aud other noted Deadwood characters,
aud spread cinsttruation in his wake.
L.oig before the trip was ended he had
consumed all the available buttermilk
on hand and the mdn in the white
aprons were trving in vain to stxk up
against his approach.
Incidentally, Col. Cody let it slip
tlia' ne bad taken hie last friendly
glass some three months back and he
volunteered some wholesome advice to
those he ui«t. on the Subject of temper
ance. He looks younger and seems in
better health than for many years and
declares he intends to stay so.
Following a custom of many years
r* ,* uiu
when in Deadwixxl, Col. Cody had his
picture taken and intends to use it as
an evidence of his faith in abstinence.
SOLLY LANDS
Government Concludes Taking
Testimony in Tripp County
Land Case.
Sionx Falls, March 29.—The govern
ment has practically concluded taking
evidence in two cases pemliatt in
the
I'nited States circuit court, wherein
Mary Sully aud her children, the wid
ow and heirs of the late Jobu Sully,
deceased, and Nar issue Drapeau. a
Frenchman who married Mis. Sully s
mother, and his children, seek tore
cover about 10,000 acres cf land in
Tripo county on the Rosebud Indibii
reservation. The land is valued ne :r
$:100,000.
Mrs. Sully's moth?r was a fnll-blood
Yankton Indian, who inartied a
Frenchman named Goulet when sh
was veiy young She WHS so n aban
doued by Goulet, and in lH.it while her
people were visiting near what is now
Ft. Pierre, when that point WHS a gov
ernment fort, they came in contact
with Narcissus Drapeau, a French In
dian trader representing the American
Fur company and purchasing furs
from the Indians ilong the Missouri
river.
At that time Mrs. Sully was a small
child, and the parents of Good Line,
Mrs. Sully s mother, found the mother
and child encumbrances to them in
their travels. When they met Drapeau
they succeeded in unloading them up
on him. Drapeau and bis newly ac
quired family continued a residence
along the Missouri river, purchasing
fur from the Indians and some years
later joined the parents of Good Line
at the Yankton reservation, where they
resided for a number of years. Later
Drajs'au and his family, then consist
ing of several children,squatted on pub
lie land at the moutn of Piatt creek on
the Missouri river in Charles Mix
couuty, where the fauaily, including
11 of the plaintiffs in these cases,
were reared and wnere Jack Sully, the
notorious catt'e rustler, married Mrs
Sully. They continued to reside at
that place until about lHflo.and when
tne lauds in that vicinity were open
for settlement under the general home
stead laws the Drapeaus and Snllys
and the balance of the kiudred, took
up Liomeeteads, tree claims and pre
eruptions, and to all intents and pur
poses at that time became settlers and
citizens of the United States.
Prior to his marriage to tne pre
sent Mrs. Sully, Jack Sully married
a half sister aid daughter of Drapeau
and Mrs. Sully s father, and John
Kinkead, a companion of Sully, mar
tied Mrs. Sully. These marriages oc
curred at the same time, aoout 187",\
aud all of the parties remained at the
old Drapeau home for a number of
\ears thereafter until Sully's wife and
Kinkead died. Later, about 1880, Sully
married the Kinkead widow, the pre
sent Mrs. Sully,by whom he reared the
large family of children now seeking
allotments through their Indian con
nections on the mother's side. Cn
(juestionably Sully's widow and the
Drapeaus were entitled to allotment
on the Yankton reservation, but they
failed to apply for lands until the re
servation had been allotted.
Sully has been known as a notcri
ous horse and cattle rustler, and, in
fact, an outlaw since his appearance in
that part of the country in the eatly
7s and maintained his residence, to a
large extent, on Cedar Island in the
Missouri river, where he could carry
on his jperations and be out of the
.jurisdiction of the state authorities in
Charles Mix county.
The country west of the Missouii
river at that time was unorganized,and
although the state had jurisdiction to
punish crimes committed there, it was
extremely difficult to convict cattle
rustlers, and Sully succeeded in evad
ing the law until his tragic death at
the hands of the faithful deputy mar
shal, John R. Petrie, wnich occurred
near Sully's home on Sully Flats on
the Rosebud reservation about 1902.
Though the government has taken
all of its direct evidence, it is prob
able the plaintiffs will submit proof
in reouttal and tbe government may
have further evidenc when the plain
tiffs have finsibed. Commissioner
Wallac has already transcribed about
a thousand pages of testimony and
the record will be voluminous, there
for the final submission of tbe case
will to aecessarily delayed tor some
time.

LIQUOR LAW
Injunction Sued Out
New and Peculiar
Grounds.
Pierre. March 29. —An isapoiUnt
feature of the state liquor license law
will be determined as the result of In
junction proceedings which have just
been instituted and in which the mem
bers of the town board of Goodwin
township. Deuel couuty. ate the defen
iiants. The injunction restrains tbe
board from issuing a liquor license,
the application for the injunction be
intr based upon unusual grounds.
Those who secured, the restraining or
der contend that at the recent annual
election a majority of the voters of
the township, counting all those who
voted and those who did not vote at
the recent election, did not vote favor
ably to the issuance of licenses for sa
loons, although a majority ot those
wno did vote declared themselves in
favor of such licenses being issued by
the township.
Those who secured the restraining
order intimate that if the state cir
cuit court does not take this view of
the matter, an appeal will be taken to
the state supreme court. Uu the face
of it there would appear to be little
doubt that license had carried and that
those who did not vote upon the propo
sition should not be taken into consid
eration, but it is a question which has
never teen determined by the state
8
u
preme court and Vbe anti-saloon people
apDear anxious to carry a test case to
that court. Beresford had a somewhat
similar case last year, but it waa ad
justed before it had reached the state
supreme court.
