THE GRAND RUSH.

1t would require columns TO give a
full account Of the scenes and incidents
that attended the grand rush for Okla.
homa on last Monday. The world has
nsver..before seen the like of it.and there
II. little probability that its like will
ever be seen again. Thousands of men
on horseback, in wagons and on foot,
drawn up along the line Of the prom
ised land impatiently awiting the hour
OF noon. At last comes the peal of a
bugle and away they go, horsemen.
wagonmen, footmen, in wild, mad
race for the coveted land. Horses were
ridden until they fell dead to the earth;
wagons were broken as they dashed
over the broken prairie; men ran
painting and breathless to reach their
''claim" before some one else should
attain it. On the railroads eager thou
sands, crowding the platforms, the
steps and the roofs of the cars, chafed
because the lightning speed of the
train was SO slow, and when it drew
near the coveted townsite, leapt from
the windows while the cars were vet
In motion to join the mad scramble
for lots. The world has never seen the
like of it.
The greatest rush was to the town of
Guthrie. AT noon On Monday it was
empty prairie. At nightfall it had a
population of 6 ,0C0 souls and it is esti-
mated that the population now num-
bers not less than 1900. There was
almost rs great rush at Kingfisher,
while it is estimated that probably 2.
000 people are now at Oklahoma City,
Of course there has been and is endless
T. confusion in the matter Of town lots,
some contending that the streets Iun
one way and some another. A man
does not know whether he is on a cor
ner or in the middle of the block, or in
the street or over against the alley. To
add to the confusion every townsite
has been located by from one TO forty
men az homestead, SO that the ques.
ton of title seems hopelessly mixed.
A great deal of complaint is made
that the beet lots In all the towns
were taken by the deputy U. S. Mar.
shals who were cent in by the score
apparently to keep the peace, but real
", it is charged, to give them all I'm.
fair advantage. AT Guthrie it is said
that no. less than 100 lots were thus
taken and the latest report Is that the
men who claim them will be forcibly
ousted and others put in possession.
IF this threat is successfully exeeut-
ed, similar measures will doubtless
be taken at other points. Singular
good order has prevailed thus far, not
q single well authenticated case of vic.
ience having been yet reported.
OF course large numbers of those
who sought homesteads were unable
to find any unoccupied. Some of these
are returning Disguised to their old
homes. Others, it is said will settle
ON the Cherokee strip in defiance Of
law. hoping to be allowed TO remain.
