BOOMERS Vi An BUSINESS.
They Are Determined to Establish
the Town of south Pierre.

Special to the Globe.
PIERRE, ). d., Dec. S0.-To-day the
fifty boomers who tried to take pos
session of the mile square across the
river from this city un the Sioux reser-
vatlon. Saturday morning, assembled
and reOrganIzed, but the same officers
aud leaders still hold. They are: Flick
niger, mayor and city engineer; God
dard, marshal; COpp, recorder, and
Reed, attorney. Hon. j. w. Shinn,
former memuer of the Ohio legislature,
and Ii. Z. R0bie, editor of the Pierre
Sigmal, are TWO leaders. They discussed
at length their futile attempt to take the
tract, and finally appointed three men
named Hughes. McCracken and Miley
as a committee to go across and see
what could be done i'll case they SnOuld
again attempt to establish their town of
South Pierre on the mile-square. A
meeting of the committee of boomers
ana citizens of Fort Pierre was held this
afternoon, at which the Fort Pierre
ties denounced the boomers in
the strongest terms, and threat
ened if tney made another raid
to Snoot them on sight. This has
dampened the aruOr of the majority of
the south Pierre squatters. but the mi
norlty say they will go back. A secret
III etIng is being held tonight to con-
slider how best they can overcome the
force at Fort Pierre, which town is now
guard ID by volunteer soldiers.
THE BOOMERS MEAN BUSINESS,
and will capture the mile square town.
site If il is possible. Their lawless ac-
tiOns are condemned by people in
Pierre, whose sympathies are with the
residents of Fort Pierre, many of whom
have lived there for fifteen years. The
boomers are evidently making better
preparations ia go back, and nothing
but several companies of troops from
Fort Sully can prevent them from going
on, as they are determined. and see a
chance of making a fortune when the
Sioux reservation opens. The military
AMI department of the interior have
been appealed to to prevent trouble,
which is expected every hour. The
storm has cleared. and all the boomers
who fed and got lost on the prairie have
come in safe.

course, but claimed that it was with the
consent of Miss Compson. But his sub
sequent acts were such as to point To
his guilt. He left for Ohio short time
after, and was brought back under ar
rest.
Reid's conduct during his confine-
ment was quite proper, and he was
made clerk in the prison Office. In
various interviews he betrayed the fact
that confinement in no way abated his
egOtism or impaired his efficiency as a
masner. 1t was his proud privilege to
stand upon the street corners and pose
as a masher, or ladies' man. At his
trial he carried the same braggadacio
air. and it was his manner more than
anything else that created the strong
feeling against him. His own actions
prejudiced his ease.
Hon. G. ID. O'Brien. attorney for Reid,
was instrumental in securing the par
don. He produced before Gov. Merri-
riam lady who was familiar with the
circumstances of the case, and who was
not called at the time of the trial be-
cause she did not wish TO become public
in the affair. Even now her identity
cannot be discovered. She came for
ward of her own free will to do what
she believed to be an act of justice.
Under oath, before the governor,
she testified that the stories
told by Maud Compson and Mrs.
Williams were entirely false. Other
affidavits were made. it is claimed. by
responsible persons. showing that Maud
C0mpson made confessions before and
after the trial that Reid used no force
when the assault was committed, and
that it was with her consent.
Reid was married at the time of his
crime, but his wife, who lived in Ohio,
has since secured a divorce. She was
at the time a deserted woman. Reid
was of well-connected family. His
father. DR.. Reid, and his uncle are both
well-tO-do and respected citizens OF Min
neapolis.
Maud Compson is now running cigar
store at Chicago. purchased with Ghe
$1,000 raised for her by the charitable
women of Minneapolis.
A few months after his release, Reid
produced a play entitled "An Ex-Con-
yict," written during his confinement.
with which he toured the state for sew
eral months.

HAL AND MAUD.
Story of Reid's Conviction for Al
legged Rape on Miss COmpsOn.

1t was on the 25th of February last
that Gov. Merriam granted full par
don to Hal Reid, who up to that date
had spent one year and six weeks in the
state penitentiary, having been SEN
fenced to fifteen years. imprisonment
for rape on Maud COmpsOn. The de-
tails of Reid's crime and trial are still
fresh in the public mind. Maud
Compson came from Minneapolis
with her sister and played an
engagement In the West Side opera
house. Hal Reid. a would-be actor, poet
and alleged dandy. was member of
the company. Her story was that one
day shortly after the engagement on
the West Side begun, Mrs. Williams,
the sister. went to Minneapolis, leav-
ing her sister alone in the room in the
house of respectable family on Con-
cord street. which the two actresses had
occupied together. and that Reid, under
the guise of friendship, entered the
room and accomplished her ruin by
force. Reid never denied the inter-

TACOMA, Wash. Dec. 30.-Charles E.
Hill was arrested at Ortlng to-day bv
Sheriff w. s. Jennings, of Albany, Mo.
He was convicted of embeZzlement and
sentenced to two years i'll the Missouri
penitentiary but was released from Gus
tody on bail pending all appeal. He
then skipped his bondsman. Hill says
his father in-law was his uOndsman aud
that the latter knew where he was. as
he had been writing home to his wife
ever since his arrival here two years
ago. Before coming here he edited a
paper at Albany, Mo-, and was also en-
gagged in the insurance business. He
claims that a special agent while visit
ing him at one time told him it would
not be necessary for him to forward the
cash on every policy immediately, and
that if he could make turn within a
short time to do so. Jennings kept back
S10, expecting to make $50 out of it, and
few days later the auditor of the in
surance company came along, and as
Jennings was $40 short, which he could
not pay, had him arrested.

Carloads of finxerton Men En-
gagged to r.vict Striking Miners.
ALTOONA, Pa, Dec. 3J.-Three car
loads of Pinkerton detectives left Bell
wood this evening tor Punxsutawney
and vicinity, where about l,50J miners
have been out on strike for couple
of weeks. Tile miners have been or
dered to leave their houses by the oper-
atorS Wednesday or else go to wOrk.
The miners have equipped themselves
with firearms of every description, hay-
ing saved number of rifles from the
riot of three years ago, and are buying
up all the available firearms they can
get. Great trouble is expected.
TROUBLE is ANTICIPATED.
PUNXsUTAwNEY, Pa, Dec. 30-One
hundred and six PinkertOn men arrived
here tonight from New York, Philadel-
phia and Chicago. Physically they are
a large, fine-looking body of men, and
present formidable appearance. They
were brought here by the Buffalo, RO-
chester IL Pittsburg Coal company. but
for what purpose is not definitely
know. as there have been no threats of
violence, but it is evident that the COM
pany anticipates trouble. 1t is now over
two weeks since the strike was inaueu-
rated at Watson and Adrian, invOly-
ing about l,600 men and boys.
Shortly after the strike notices were
served on the miners occupying the
cOmpany'S houses, all to vacate within
ten days. The time will be up tO-mOr-
row and the general suppOsitiOn is that
the Pinkerton men were brought here
to assist in the work of eyicting in case
of trouble. 1t is also stated that there
t.ls.
way here and that the company pur-
poses putting them to work and pro-
tecting them. Up to this time there
has oeen no attempt on the part of the
company to effect a compromise. The
committee appointed by the miners to
adjust their differences
HAS BEEN COMPLETELY IGNORED
by the company, and a proposition by
the committee to submit the matter to
arbitration was rejected by the COM
pauy officials. While the miners at
Watson and Adrian have been idle. and
the fires in the coke ovens have been
extinct for two weeks, the company
mines at EIinoa and Beech Tree have
been run to their fullest capacity. thus
enabling the corporation to fill part of
its orders for coal andcoke. At Elinoa
the miners have been working under a
Su0lO VI dOOQI L lhhCl 6Oi
They would, however, have been safe
without tue guard. as no threats of any
kind were indulged in. The miners
have learned by experience that peace
full methods are more likely to win
and unless the Hungarian element
should prove ungovernable there is not
likely to be any trouble. A strong
pressure has been brought to bear on
the Elinoa miners to GET them to strike.
and to-day they came out to man, held
a meeting and resolved to go to work In
the morning. The action of tine Hun
garians to-day caused considerable COM
ment. They bought up all the false
faces in town. One merchant disposed
of hundred to them. 1t is believed by
some that these masks are to be used
for no good purpose, while others opine
that the Huns are going to indulge in a
grand New Years mask ball.
