The s'Oklahoma boomer has come to be
a familiar name of late. At present there
are one thousand or more Oklahoma
boomers. They are encamped on Cheeota
Greek, six miles from Arkansas City, on
the southern border Of Kansas. To the
south of them lies the Indian Territory.
Nearly in the center of that Territory
stretches the Oklahoma country, an exceed
ingly fertile and attractive area. The
boomers wish to march upon it, to settle in
it, and to possess it. The United States
Government says that they must not do
this; that the land is pledged to the Indians.
The boomers declare that they will do it.
United States troops are posted opposite
the camp OF the boomers, on the opposite
side of Cheeota Creek. They have orders
not to permit the boomers to set foot in the
Indian Territory. Other United States
troops are posted in the Territory---in the
Oklahoma country-to guard it against the
boomers.
In November last died Captain David L.
Payne, known better as Oklahoma Payne
He was the originator and first leader of the
Oklahoma boomers. He was man of OBJ
stinate convictions. He commended that the
Oklahoma lands were public property, upon
which he and his followers had the right to
settle. These lands as has been said, are
fertile and desirable. They lie a little to
the east of the center Of the Indian Terri
tory. They cover about eighteen hundred
square miles. From north to south at their
longest part they measure sixty miles, and
they stretch forty miles at the point of their
greatest breadth. They are bounded on the
north by the Cherokee strip of land lying
west of the Arkansas River; Oh the east by
the reservations of the Pawnee, Iowa,
Kickapoo and Pottawattomie tribes of In
dians; on the south by the Canadian River;
and on the west by the reservation of the
Cheyenne and Arrapahoe Indians. In these
limits are included 1,8S7,8Oo acres. half a
million acres more than are comprised in
the State of Delaware. Colonel Boudinot,
Cherokee, gave the name of Oklahoma to
the country. 1t is word of the Cherokee
language, and signifies the home of the
red man." The shortest way into the Ok
lahoma country from Kansas is from Cald-
well, on the Kansas border, along stage
road and cattle trail that runs to Fort Reno,
on the western border of Oklahoma.
