A jumble of early North Dakota and South Dakota notes recounts political infighting over reservations, editorial clashes between the Grapho and Register papers, and comment on Cleveland’s inauguration. It references Kimball Chamberlain and Pakwana towns, land openings, and figures like Grant Sheridan and Blaine in a broad national context.
A jumble of quotes praises Chamberlain as a booming Dakota town while Kimball’s best residents eye relocation. The piece also notes Grant’s cancer tied to smoking, the woman suffrage jamboree denouncing clergy and law of God as misreading creation, and a maiden protest speech vowing not to marry while fighting for votes.
Multiple settlers in Brule County at Chamberlain and Mitchell D T filed notices to make final proof on their homesteads. Claims include various lot and parcel numbers with witnesses named such as Christian Christan William Hendricks and Henry Claste, proceeding dates March 15 1885 to April 18 1885, before local probate and district courts.
Multiple contest notices from the Mitchell land office in Dakota Territory detail abandonments of homestead entries. Names such as Chester Goodell, Henry M Straight, Geo B Everitt, and Notaries Dennis Ryan and Geo Walker appear. Hearings scheduled at Kimball on April 4 and March 7 with commissioners to take testimony.
