Capt. Hays Allows the Arkansas CITY
Column to Move.

The thousands of Oklahoma boomers at Ar
kansas city were allowed by Capt. Hays to
enter the Cherokee strip on their way to the
promised land at o'clock Thursday morning.
There were fully 1000 white-covered wagons in
the caravan. When final permission was given
by Capt. Hays to proceed a great shout went
up from the boomers. From an elevation 5
solid miles of wagons could be seen, and as the
caravan wound over the undulating prairie it
presented a sight probably never to be seen
again. There was not the slightest disorder.
Perched on a cracker-bOx in the first of the ten
wagons from klngman, Kan, Dan Skies flung
an American flag to the breeze. This flag was
seen miles away. For three hours wagons
crossed the strip line and moved slowly to-
ward the promised land.
Can't. Hays broke up Camp Price at noon,
and followed with his cavalry. His orders
were to camp last night on Salt Creek fork a nd
then to take the line of march to-day for the
