THE OKLAHOMA BOOMERS.
Troops from Fort Reno Take Part in the Pro-
ceedings, and Gust the Land Grabbers.

WICHITA, Kan. March 16.--The boomers
were to-day in frightful state of democrat
ization. Last night the rumor reached
Oklahoma City that the troops were en-
route from Fort Reno to drive them out of
the country. They fed in terror
to the woods and the bushes,
taking with them all their valuables.
The soldiers, under command of Lieutenant
Carson, arriving at noon, commenced i'm
mediately to search for the boomers, beat
ing the bushes and securing the
woods. They soon gathered quite
a body, and, driving them before
them, started for the Kansas line,
after burning their huts tearing down
tents and dug-outs. No excuse was re-
ceived, and all found without permits were
taken. Captain Hayes started also from
the Cherokee strip with Troop X, and in
tends to carry before him to the
south all the boomers he finds. Many re-
ports are made of the severe treatment, but
nothing definite regarding such action is
known. Serious trouble is feared, how
ever. before the soldiers raid is ended.

THE FALL RIVER STRIKE.



Both Sides Continue Firm, and There Is No
Prospect of Settlement.
FALL RIVER, Mass, March 16.-The sixth
day of the strike opened with no sign of a
satisfactory settlement Of the trouble. On
account of the weather to-day the proposed
meeting in the park was abandoned, and
the crowds which gathered there and those
on the way were notified that the meeting
would be held in Quinn, Woodland g. Co.'s
hall, which had been offered the strikers.
Here big crowd assembled and filed the
hall to its utmost capacity. The members
of the executive committee explained the
proposition which had been made to them
yesterday by the State Board of Ar
bitration, which was that the strikers
return to work and abide by the
decision of the board after hearing and
investigation. They had asked how long
it would take the board to decide, and were
told it might take three months. They had
refused to entertain any proposition that
would require them to go back to work
without the advance. This announcement
was received with cheers, and the meeting
unanimously Endorsed the action taken by
the executive committee, and voted to con-
tinue on strike. Members of the executive
committee made encouraging speeches.
They dwelt particularly on the statements
maze by the manufacturers anticipating
break in the ranks. and advised the strikers
to stand by each other and show no weak
ness. There is no change In the attitude
of the manufacturers. Several expressed
themselves as firm in the decision to offer
or sccept no terms so long as the weavers
remained out, and they still expect
of strikers by Tuesday. Several more shut
down this afternoon. The strikers are in
dignant at the action of the three corpora
tons, which have taken the rent of the
tives In advance, and the executive COM
mittee is preparing to bring the matter be-
fore the cOurfs
