Biography
Henry Nieland was one of seventeen Sisseton farmers actually jailed on rioting charges after a United Farmers League delegation restored Henry Nieland to his foreclosed farm. The article explicitly says all seventeen were subsequently out on bail raised by the league. He was the homesteader restored to his farm after foreclosure by Northwest Mutual Life Insurance Company. A threatened minimum ten-year sentence is not a conviction or completed term; exact custody dates and duration are not supplied. Labor Defender, April 1934, original PDF page 6.
