CHAMBERLAIN, S. D.. Feb. 15.-The
new town opposite this city on the Sioux
reservation is virtually thing of the
past. Upon being informed by Indian
Inspector Armstrong that they would
be required to move, many Of the resi-
dents Of the town at once complied, and
to-day many more removed their
shanties to the tract of land belong
ing 10 The Chicago, Milwaukee and
st. Paul Railway company. What the
IF ops will do with the buildings be-
longing 10 boomers who absolutely re-
fuse to remove them, is not known, but
IL is believed that they will do what was
threatened at the Outset-apply the
torch to them. Gen. Armstrong is doing
all he can TO get the boomers to remove
their shackS, as he does not wish to de-
stroy them. But many of the boomers
are stubborn, and will leave their build
ingS at the mercy of the troops. The
squatterS will probably be given until
tomorrow evening in which to change
their minds and begin the work of re-
mOval. The troops have pitched their
tents between the new town and Lower
Brdle Indian agency. and will be kept
there until every boomer has vacated
the land belonging to the
Indians. \ new complication will arise
when the railway company wishes TO
use the tract of land upon which many
of the boomers are now located, but for
the present they will be allowed to re-
main undisturbed. Settlers continue to
arrive here and cross TO the west
side of the Missouri river. where they
select claims and at once commence the
erection of buildings. An extra daily
train will be put on tomorrow by the
Chicago. Milwaukee Il st. Paul railway
company in order To accommodate the
large crowd heading for the newly
opened reservation. Although this city
is filling up with gamblers and other

through the city without being modest

ever exists either here or on the reSer-
Walton, as the officers are fully COM
pPtent to keep the crowd within bounds.
The dangerous crossing on the river has
caused considerable delay to settlers

Superior Gets a shipyard.

Special to the Globe.
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 a 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 Superior's offer for the l0ca-
ton of the yard there largely exceeds
the one made by Duluth.
