after the boomers on the strip. The
Chief thoroughly investigated all

and viii 10 his utmost to have this
boomer business settled at once.
This is his first visit to our city
and he is greatly pleased with the
evident prosperity Of the town and
the tone OF public feeling in re-
gard to the rights of the Cherokee
Indians, in particular. : : :
Mr.. c. Rodgers, representing Agent
John Q. TUFTS. came in yesterday
noon and was cloSctcd with Gener-
al Hatch in the afternoon If we
mistake not, something Is liable to
drop in a day or two, and then the
boomer and his little boom viii be
everlastingly buried. Let her drop;
they have been warned. = : =
Mr.. Vim. Corzine was down among
the boomers Tuesday, and reports
them still in the land of the Noble
Red Man. They had about al
gone home to their wives people
after the soldiers came, but ayne
had a notice published in his pa
per to the effect that those aband-
0ning their claims would forfeit
their right in the colony. This
brought them back on the double
quick.

J. r. Rightwood Just came in from
the Oklahoma country and informs
us that on last Thursday morning
two men who have been camped
for n week or more on the west
side of the Cimarron river were
discovered about eight O'Clock on
the morning of the above date,
murdered and fearfully mutilated,
and their camp plundered Of every
thing that could be carried away.
One of the unfortunate victims
was found one hundred yards from
camp with about twenty-five bullet
holes through his body, and his
head chopped off and placed on a
stump a few feet away; the other
was found in one of the wagon
boxes and had evidently made q
desperate struggle for life, as the
box was riddled with holes. and his
double barrel shot gun lay shattered
TO pieces by his side. lie evidently
received his death wound at short
range, as his face was powder burnt
beyond recognition, and a large
gaping wound showed that the gun
had been placed near his head wher
fired. From indications it is sup
posed to have been Indians, a
moccasin and pony tracks were
thick, and from the trail the party
made rs they went west, down tho
river, 1t Is judged that they number
ed upwards OF fifty. From paper:
found on the bodies of the murder
cd men it was found that theil
names were John i. Lawrence, o.
OskaloOsa. Jefferson county. thu:
State, and Thomas L Mayberry
