FIGHT 7 ON.
Bloodshed Seems to Be in Sight
on the SissetOn Reser-
yatiOn.
The New Town Named in Honor
Of a Plucky Young
Woman.

Browns Valley. Mimi. Special, April Is.
Apparently everything is quiet on the
Sisseton reservation tonight, but there is
every evidence that serious trouble is brew
ing. though the crisis may not be reached
for several days. Tonight $50 men who
had made filings at Watcrtown, passed
through this village, entered the reserva'
ton and went on the northwestern part of
the reserve, where the good lands and the
new TOWNSHIP are located. l talked to sew.
eral Of them, and every one stated decidedly
that he meant to have land. They were
among the first of thosc to file, and say they
all filed in less than two hours. hi is re-
markably short time, and III ny of the
squatters were of course unable to reach
claims twenty and twenty-five miles away
in that time.
The authorities claim that the situation
now looks very serious, but Of course it is
Largely a matter or conjecture. These flers
say they are going to have some OF that
land. They cannot get it without a fight.
-Four or five days will determine the case.
For a move reason the new town has had
its name changed rom Sisseton to Effing-
ton. After consultation the Sisseton Lard
company and the people directly around
the town site unanimously decided to name
the place after Miss Effic Stauffer, the school
mistress who was
Il FIRST ONE TO REACH 1T.
She made the journey alone from Browns
Valley to the northern boundary, riding
horseback forty-five miles OH April IA and
sleeping that night in a tent. On the morn
ing of April Is she rode alone twenty-four
miles, following the boundary until she
met the crowd. She led all the men to the
new town, and they complimented her in
the manner described. The town is sur
rounded by some Of the best land on the
reservation, and settlers are coming to it
from miles around. / rode over it for sew
eral miles, and was surprised to find so
large a tract with so little land not in every
way desirable. Already there have been
started a general store. lumber yard, hard
ware store, blacksmith shop, grocery, mill
inery establishment and a hotel.
Things are quiet in Browns Valley.
Many more people returned here to-day
footsore and weary without claims or any,
thing else. Many others passed through
IN their way to Wilmot. They have To-
Gated claims and go t ere to file. The
boom is over and there is little more to tell
unless fighting begins. Many good claims
were secured to-day. There are still many
vacant ones. Large prairie fires are raging
tonight and q stiff east wind prevails.

Sioux City Enjoys a Taste of the Genu-
inc Article.
Sioux Cry, Iowa, Special, April 1S.-For
The first time in the history of Sioux City
business was suspended to-day. The Sun
day Enforcement league closed places Of
business, forced most of the transit lines to
suspend operations and even closed some
of the restaurants. All stores. billiard
rooms, etc, are-closed, and it IS almost inn
possible to buy a cigar. The En- orcement
league is composed of saloon men and as
ISOLATED classes who have been driven out
of business by the enforcement Of the pro-
hibitory law. They say they will enforce
all laws of the state alike and give the peo-
pie a taste of real enforcement. Iowa has
some blue laws that have long been for
gotten, but they are being resuscitated.
All labor on Sunday is a m~isdemeanor, the
limit OF punishment being SIS fine and i'm
%prisonment until paid.
Informations for employees and officers
Of all street car lines were sworn out this
morning. The men were arrested and Off
GERS gave bonds and sent them back to
work, when they would be rearrcsted.
Some of the lines by this means were kept
in operation most of the day. The Sioux
City Street Railway company, with twenty
five miles of line and the most important
system in town, has not tu~,ed a car since
noon. The cable line men ave been ar
rested several times, but the justices do not
dare Jail them for fear of pr"lic sentiment.
The Suburban train on tha Sioux City &
Northern, running to 1. &c. was stopped
for a time, but the railtoad sd plenty of
men at hand and the effort vas discontin.
ued. The streets were cto yded all day
with people anxious to watcl proceedings.
President Pierce, of the cable company,
was applauded or running grip car when
his last man was arrested. Officials of
other lines Helped the M n operate the
cars. The league is said to ] ave the SYM
pathy and support OF many eading people
and that it will f low UP the
work vigorously and compel the closing of
all business on Sunday and make it perma-
nent. Serious trouble is feared before the
end is reached.
