Payment Of Debt Aids Indians In South Dakota
In Baltimore on December 24 United States district attorney Simon E Sobeloff announced a final payment of 7194 dollars on the 1923 contract by the late B D Zimmerman of Somerset Pennsylvania. The funds will be turned to the interior department for the Cheyenne River Indians food and clothing. Zimmerman died before the full sum was paid and his estate could not complete the payment. A $20000 bond issued to ensure performance backed the check. The interior department said the money is badly needed as Indians on Zimmermans land graze 6000 head of cattle and face hunger and deprivation.
