PEACE PREVAILS.
Boomers on the Mile Square Come
to Their Senses.

Boomers on the Mile Square Come
to Their Senses.
Special 10 the Globe.
PIERRE, S. D., Feb. 15.-The condi-
ton of affairs on the reservation and
mile square has changed wonderfully
during the last twenty-four hours from
what it was during the first few days
succeeding the issuance of the presi-
dents proclamation opening the lands to
settlement. The vigilance committee,
headed by Fred Pettigrew, has made
strenuous efforts to bring order out of
chaos, and all well-diSpoSed citizens
have seconded such efforts. Fort Pierre
is still full of the off securing of hui
manity, but the better element is rap
IDLY getting the whip hand, and no fur
ther trouble is anticipated. To-
day q number of half-breeds ell
gagged in a shooting scrape with
first sound of pistol shots members of
the vigilance committee ran the whole
gang into the military guard house.
So strong have the vigilantes become
that they have awed the worst element
of the place. s petition signed by
many hundreds of citizens has already
been presented TO the governor, pray
ing that Stanley county be organized,
and petitions for the org aniZatiOn of sew
eral other counties are now about ready.
Until this is accomplished no law can be
enforced except by the vigilanteS or
troops, but the scenes that have been en-
acted are not likely to be repeated. Re-
ports from all over the reservation have
come in telling of trouble between con-
testing settlers but no serious trouble
has occurred. Indian Inspector Arm
strong has arrived here from Chamber
lain and was pleased to find that mat
terS have been brought to the
present condition of peace and
good order. He states that Indians who
have taken lands III severalty contigous
to the mile square will be protected in
their rights, which will defeat the plans
of many town site speculatorS. Hun
dreds of buildings have gone up on
the mile square and on the
land claimed by the Northwestern
Railway company. The committee
of Fort Pierre citizens appointed
to treat with the company received a
dispatch to-day from Marvin Hnghltt,
its president, stating that he will arrive
here Thursday to confer with them over
their conflicting claims. 1t promises to
he long and bitter legal struggle.
TWENTY-FIVE cars OF lumber arrived to-
night for the pontoon bridge across the
Missouri, which will he built as soon
as the ice goes out.

would interfere to mitigate the severity
of the prison discipline in the case of

thought it not unlikely that the pub
lication of the facts would force the
superior officials of Russia to take
some notice of the affair. But. he
said, the flogging and all the
other brutalities were entirely
due to the direct orders of
the central government at st. Peters
burg, namely, the edict of March, 1888.
The minister of the interior was, there
fore, directly responsible for the re-
neWal of corporal punishment of politi-

superior Gets a shipyard.

Special to the GIObe.
DULUTH, Mimi. Feb. 15.-Duluth is
very much torn up over the prospect OF
losing the permanent location of the
American Steel Barge company's ex-
tensive shipyard plant. The company's
yard is located here, but it is believed
that site on Allouez bay. near old
Superior, has been decided upon. The
action of Duluth people toward
the Standard Oil company in compelling
that corporation to move its oil ware
houses and docks after they were COM
pIeted is said to be factor in the con-
templated change, as some of the Stand
ard Oil people are stockholders of the
barge company. Another cause is said
to be that Superi0r'S offer for the loca-
tion of the yard there largely exceeds
the one made by Duluth.

that Mr.. Engle is spending most

who is keen to put 100000 into the
scheme and send Mr.. Engle to England
ior the purpose of interesting foreign
capital in the scheme.

It seemed to have been started on the sec ond story at the east end of the l.. The east door of the l. was open, showing that the house had been forcibly entered, as it had not been occupied since the BEE Man moved to the Street ons the first of last November. Doors, windows and a few portable articles were removed, but the loss was total and included furniture and clothing left there. The origin of the fire iS involved in mystery, but was, of course, inceudiary. With cOmmenda- ble prOmptness, the selectmen, as ap- pears by a notice elsewhere, have offered reward of $200 for the arrest and con- victiun of the firebug. Town officers arc also searching for the incendiary and it is earnestly hoped that they may be sue | CcsSt LII anu biltG Gilc SuiltS ohCS hihS oS brought to speedy justice.
