The President in the course of CONVEX

the time came he would consider as

The Mad Rush for Claims I'm

Inaugurated.
In Less Than Twenty-Four Hours
Nearly 1000, 600 Acres Of Land
Has Been Settled Upon,
And Nearly Every Claim VIII Have More
Than One Claimant-Nothing Like
II Ever Seen Before.

GUTHRIE, I. T., April s3.-The gates
Of Oklahoma were swung open at noon,
and resistless torrents Of humanity be-
gan to pour over its soil. From the
Cherokee strip came the fleet of prairie
schooners across the Canadian; from the
Chickasaw nation came troop after troop
Of sturdy ponies, each one carrying
boomer; from the Arapahoe and Chey-
enne reservations on the west came
yelling mob of horsemen, who fired vol
ley after volley to celebrate their final
victory. The Kiowa of the southwest,
and the Cherokee and Greek nations on
the east, also furnished their contingent
of boomers. At the starting signal they
moved all together, great waves of cheer
ing breaking upon the air. The wagons
continued on over the level green plain
until they were about half way across
the northern tier of claims and then
upward of 100 of them were brought to
stand still. The others rolled on to
the lower tiers. Men, women and
children poured from the stationary
schooners, and in an incredibly short
time the foundations for the pioneer
homes of Oklahoma had been laid by
willing hands. Every farm had more
than one claimant, all ready to swear
that they crossed the border first, and
that theirs were the first improvements.
So it is all over the territory, and
especially on the sections adjoining
Guthrie and Oklahoma City. Between
10000 and $4,000 people were dumped
here during the day by the Santa Fe
road, which ran twenty immense trains
from Arkansas City. 1t is safe to say
that by this time every farm in the ter
ritory is in possession of one or more
claimants, and that besides there are
from 10000 to $4,000 more wandering
aimlessly about in search of lands. The
rush at the land Office here is terrific.
The building is surrounded by mob of
bowling men, which is being constantly
augmented by horsemen who are gallop-
ing in from every quarter. Land Agent
Dilley and his force of assistants are I'M
able to give attention to hundredth
part of the business that is being forced
upon them. The detachment of troopers
which has been detailed around the
building with view to keeping the mob
in an orderly line, is completely worn
out. A dispatch from Oklahoma City
states that the rush there is even greater
than here. Over at Kingfisher, or Lis
bon, where the crowds brought in on the
Rock Island are gathering, there has
been no trouble as vet

Rumors of Another strike.

MASON CITY, Iowa, April 23.-There
are well-founded rumors afioat that there
is soon to be trouble on the Milwaukee
road. The officials passed over the road
the latter part of last week, and it is re-
ported that they expect soon to cut down
the mileage paid to the engineers and
firemen in order to curtail the expenses
of the road. AS it now is most of the
engineers and firemen are working on
half-time, and, like other trainmen,
complain of not receiving more than
enough to live on, and should the reduc-
ton be made, it is rumored that they
will not submit to it, and as last resort
will 90 out on a strike.
