KANSAS CITY, April 16.-The gathering
rush of people bound for Oklahoma was
very apparent here last night Trains from
all points were crowded with would-be
settlers, and the Santa Fe road is rushing
forward all its available rolling stock fol
use on its Indian Territory branches. IL
one party of Missourisns at the depot TO-
day was q man who would have been con.
sidered insane bad it not been for the trust
and obedience he exacted from his rather
hardy followers. He was tall, lenk,
dressed in rough, worn clothing and had 9
thin, shrewd face and scrubby chi1
whiskers. Over his pantaloons, and
stuffed in at the top of his
big iack-boots, he wore sensational
pair of overalls made of hunting, stamped
with small American faet He carried 6
long, brown rifle OF the ancient but accu-
rate ball and patch pattern, and around
his waist were strapped brace of cannon
calibred navies and large knife. The
LEADER name was Daniel CENTS, and his
little company had been organized in Da'
Wis county, Mo. CENTS had visited Okla
homa a short time ago and returned last
week to escort his friends. The company
was most thoroughly armed and will Ger.
tsinly frighten the timid and provoke the
bold.
The land shark is on hand. One concern
with flaming banners is selling town lots
in Oklahoma City, Texas, spot on the
lap of the Pan Handle OF Texas, touching
the western tip of Oklahoma. These So
called lots are sold for s. piece, with an
additional charge of 81 for recording the
deed. Next door another crowd is trying
to dispose of lots in the promising city Of
New Oklahoma, said to be twenty miles
south of the other, and pretending to be
upon a proposed line OF railway. The
tooters of these two institutions stand at
their doors and loudly denounce each
other as frauds and impOdtOrs. Both man
age to ply good trade.
Meanwhile the most rigid rules of exclu-
sion are being maintained in the Terri
tory. Yet there are runlors rife that GER
tain favored ones have already been per-
mitted to enter the tract and are hidden
near Guthrie snd other points of settle
ment. This will bear close investigation.
