The Question of Grub.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 26.-The enterprise
of several newcomers in establishing restau-
rant tents is proving God-send. The food
provided is, of course, rough in the extreme.
Bread seems to have been overlooked or at
least unpacked, and of biscuits and crack
ers the supply is very limited indeed. At
one tent bushel of boiled beans were served
out cold on tin plates and dishes, with very
poor coffee. OF milk and sugar there were
none. Beans and coffee formed the en-
tire bill of fare, but those who could crowd
in and get served were regarded as excep-
tionally fortunate. Before Guthrie had been
invaded for an hour the new population
found itself confronted with a grave
though unforeseen difficulty in the shape of a
veritable water famine. The trains were
mobbed as they pulled up, and every drop
of drinking water consumed. Then there
was rush to the railroad water tank. The
water in this comes from the adjoining creek,
and Is of a very dark color, inclined to be
reddish, and most offensive to the taste, but
regardless of consequences thirsty individ-
uals drank all they could get of it. The
railroad authorities quickly got guard
round the tank and put stop to the drink
ing. Then some enterprising individuals
filled buckets at the creek and peddled wa
ter among the crowd at cents glass. This
water was clearer than that from the tank,
ut it was very unpleasant.

Guthrie Land Office.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 2.-The land office
was crowded from o'clock a. m. until it
closed. From $50 to 200 people were wait
rather than diminished. The land Office Of
fc:als are doing their utmost to accommodate
the people, but find it very hard undertake
ing.
There was a continuous line at the post
Office from 8 O'Clock, the time which
opens, until it closed, and owing to the rush
many found it difficult to get their mail, but
it is thought after the first rush. of mail IS
distributed there will not be so much
troule.
Building is progressing very rapidly, fully
twenty or thirty houses being constructed.
Most of them are only temporary. but add
to the appearance of the place. The people
are unable to get their lumber which had
been shipped by freight, otherwise the build
ing boom would be much larger.
The trains continue to bring in new COM
ers who are as anxious as the first ones to
secure good town lots.
Several cases of suffering are reported.
These are caused by lack of means to pro-
cure the necessities of life. Scores of peo-
pie come to this placo" with only money
enough to carry them through, and many of
them have failed to procure work as they ex-
pected to do, and as there is such demand
Tor food 1t Is an mpOSS1blnlty Tor them to
get along without suffering. Many people
are leaving because they could not procure
suitable claims and town lots, and as many
more would leave if they had the means to
do so. Outside of this everything is running
as smoothly as could be expected under the
circumstances.
The vast expanse of greensward is now
broken in all directions by the ploughInen
who had ridden all over the territory. TAX
ing In the heart of the country embraced
between four points Of Guthrie, Kingfisher,
Oklahoma City and Fort Reno, and also the
country east of the Atchison road to the
Kiowa reservation and Sac and Fox line and
the Canadian river bottoms, there is not a
single quarter section of any value whatever
that is not now home steaded. Many claims
Of no value whatever have been taken.

What Thew Wore.

NEW York, May lat the Centennial
ball, which was in fact only promenade,
as there was no room in the crowd for dane
ing, as the presidential party made the cir
cult of the hall, Mrs. Harrison, of course, at
traeted much attention. She looked well
and happy. Her dress was of heavy gross
grain cut with princesse train. The waist
was trimmed with pearl and silver, the cor
sage being filed with gauze held in place
with ostrich feathers, as was also the skirt.
The front embroidery of the skirt was in a.
key pattern, worked in silver and pearls,
meeting pannels of silver brOcade and
feathers and shower of silver ornaments
fell from the skirt.
The most notable figure in the quadrille
was Mrs. Levi p. Morton, the wife of the:
wise president. Her costume was of heavy
white brocade silk, the design being very
ancient. Clusters of pink and wild straw;
berries were half hidden behind festoons OF
lilac, fringed with yellow interviewer mates
rial. The empire coat fronts were of lilac
silk falling over princesse front of white
crepe de lisse. The corsage was of brocade,
trimmed with lilac, broad sash ends of lilac
silk being fastened to the back.

Mecca.
GUTHRIE, Ok, April 80. Games still
flourish openly. Wheels of fortune, chuck
a-luck and Spanish monte is everywhere out
of doors, while in tents, faro, roulette and
other games are holding out to big business.
It has been the salvation at Guthrie that
whisky was not admitted, and it is to this
wise exclusion that the little violence Is due.

authority, have left Guthrie. Commissioner

sworn in, and the other hired gobblers are
not technically in the federal service. 1t is
demanded that the government declare
forfeiture of claims of all persons irrespec-
tive of employment, who were in the Okla
homa tract before Monday noon. Settling
upon the Cherokee strip progresses in in
creasing volume. Many camps are visible
from the railroad and boomers at the station
declare that it is their purpose to squat there.
Flowing and planting is well under way at
numerous points. The troops have not yet
moved. Captain Jack Hayes has sent out
couriers to give the squatters three days no
tice to quit the strip. He is much beloved
by the settlers for the inexhaustible kindness
he has shown them in the march down. ar d
the practical help he gave them. He is the
man OF all men to settle the impending con-
troversy II 1t can be settled.

Buried in Red Dust.

GUTHRIE, Ok, April 3O.-A SIMEON swept
the desert, and Guthrie is buried in red dust.
The wind rose at dawn sweeping down from
the cloudless sky, and the red sand of the
plain was driven before it all day in singing
sitting masses. Tents collapsed, roofs were
raised and everything light and loose was
blown away. There are now five cities in
cluded in the camp-North, South, East and
West Guthrie, and Guthrie proper. The
latter covers the $50 acres supposed to have
been set apart for town purposes, and in
cludes the depot, postoffice and land Office,
about which the heart of the city may be
said to pulsate. The others circumscribe
the suburbs with tents and blankets. These
have already selected their mayors and
boards of aldermen, but Guthrie is still in
the throes of an election.

Nothing FUNNY About It.

TOPEKA, April 2.-About the middle of
May, the board of railroad commissioners
will commence its tour of the roads of the
state for the purpose of inspecting their con-
dition, as provided for by the statute. In
order to convey some idea of the amount of
time and labor involved in this task, it may
be stated that the various trips will be made,
not in sumptlous private cars on flying
special trains, but on regular trains, and
every mile of the 5000 miles of railroad in
the state, including tracks, bridges, culverts,
cattle guards, fences, side tracks, stock
yards, station houses, etc, must be carefully
examined in daylight. In many instances
it will be necessary to pass over whole divi-
sions of roads ON freight trains, as the pas
senger trains run in the night. To accom-
plish this will require all the time that can
be spared from the Office for several months,
it being the intention 10 make one or two
trips every week between sessions of the
board.

Sample Reports from Those Re-
turning from Oklahoma.
KANSAS CITY, April 30.-Two sections of
the Santa Fe train pulled into the Union
depot crowded to the platforms with tired,
disguised and red dirt besmeared boomers.
"You think that this is big crowd" said
a brakeman of the first train to the reporter.
''Well, you ought to have seen the mob wait
ing to get on at Arkansas City. They cried,
begged and even prayed to be allowed to get
on board. When the train started out of
Arkansas City, the cars looked like crowd
ed cable car in Kansas City on a rainy day.
1t was al the train hands could do to keep
them off the automatic brakes. Although
the engineer and fremen stood guard over
the tender, two men crawled into the coal
until Newton was reached. Then the engi-
ride on"
Cyrus Henderson, of Fon- du-Lac, Michi-
igan, over year ago went through Oklaho-
ma and selected aquarter section. A month
ago he went from Michigan with three of
his fathers swiftest horses and camped out
near the border of the Cherokee strip. He
and his companions did nothing but train
up the horses and get them so they could
make mile in 2:25. When the word was
given he crossed the line ON gallop going
fifteen miles to his claim in less than forty
five minutes. He was far in advance of the
others. When he got to his claim he was
startled by seeing an old farmer blowing the
land. The old farmer was deputy marshal.
Henderson passed through Kansas City on
his way home.

More Pensions Given.

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 29.-Commis-
sioner of Pensions Tanner rendered deci-
sion by which the pension of h. Dembitz
will be increased from S3Oto $72 per month.
The pensioner in this case has been receiv-
ing pension of $50 per month for what is
known as Perigoff's amputation of both
feet. This amputation is the entire foot
with the exception of portion of the heel
bone and the integuments of the heel, which
are brought forward to cover the ankle joint.
The case was recently presented to the COM
missioner and he held that the legal distinc-
ton between the loss of so much of the feet
as was experienced in this case and their
total loss was a mere technicality, and that
the claimant was entitled to S72 per month.
This decision will apply to number of other
cases of like nature.

rs IT TRUE?
An Oklahoma Colony Reduced
BY a Gang of Cowboys.
The Soldiers Colony Reported Al
tackled by Cowboys and Nine Kill
ed--Their Names Given; but Il =
Not Safe to Believe All Rumors.

WICHITA, KAN, May 1.-Out of the many
wild rumors with which the border is full. 10
one which seems to bear the elements of
probability. The report is of an attack on
en- Old soldiers colony located in the western
part of Oklahoma. It was first brought to
Guthrie by runner to DIR. Minnick. ths
chief of the colony, who at once left Guthrie
to take command. The runner stated that
the fight occurred en- Wednesday and occu-
pied nearly one hours time.
, The old soldiers are located on the north
bank OF the Canadian and near the southern
border of Oklahoma. Their lands are very
desirable and a number of cowboys tried
Wednesday to take them from the settlers
The cowboys were mounted on feet-footed
ponies and rode down on the camp evident
~ with the intention of surprising them.
The soldiers, however, was prepared to resist
the attack.
The cowboys rode down the line yelling
and firing revolvers. The old soldiers start
ed to use their guns, when the cowboys
turned and dashed across the prairie. A vol
ley brought down man and a horse. The
rider of the latter jumped on the back of
companion animal, and in a minute all the
cowboys were out of range. After this, the
H.
horses were used as barricades, and over
their backs the cowboys shot and killed six
members of the colony. When it was seen
that the soldiers were being worsted, they
drew up in line and the order for an advance
was given. The enemy retreated to the
bushes, and for half an hour longer the fir
Ing continued, but only one man was wound
ed and nine killed.
At the expiration of this time the cowboys
jumped to the backs of their horses and
dashed madly across the country, Yelling in
retreat that they would soon return. None
OF the killed were from Wichita.
From the best information attainable the
list of dead IS as follows: ]. N. Redfield of
Oil City, Pa, shot through the heart and in
stantly killed; Willard Woodwork of Quincy,
I'LL, shot in the brain; Samuel Hertzier, Fl:
Wayne, Ind, two wounds in the left breast;
Stephen Denny of Paris, Tex, Utterly rid
died with bullets: Arson L. Toyere of Gale
ma, ILL.,, shot in the head; Robert Hutchins
of Milwaukee, Wis, shot through the left
lung; Antoine Creigh seriously wounded.

The Other Side of the Story All
Serene in Oklahoma.

KANSAS CRY, Mo-, April 3O.-Mr. A. J.
Graham, chief editorial writer of the Kan
sas City Times, who has several times been
in the Indian territory before, has just re-
turned from two weeks trip through Okla
homa. He says the stories of murders, per-
sonal encounters and lack of food are all in
ventions. An immense amount of flash
writing, he says, seems to have been done
purely to furnish entertainment for readers
with no regard to facts. 1t is doubtful
whether single homicide has occurred in
Oklahoma. None of those told about in the
newspapers have been attested by witnesses.
There has been plenty of food in the new
towns from the first, and no lack of water.
The elections have been noisy but not near
ly as much SO as most city primaries. The
people have been without exception not only
peaceful but good humored in their differ
ences of opinion. The dust in Guthrie and
Kingfsher has been disagreeable just as dust
is everywhere. So has the heat in the mid
die of the day. The nights are very cool and
pleasant. The man who has looked for the
natural discomforts of totally new country
has found what he expected. The one who
went down there with vague idea of hav-
ing the comforts of his home is disappoint-
ed. That is Iabout all there is to the flash
writing. Not drunken man has been seen
either in Guthrie or Kingfsher.
