Boomers Concentrating i'm Arkansas
City and Impatient.

CHICAGO, April IA dispatch from Arkan-
sas City. Kansas. says: The population of this
city has increased one-third during the past
week. Two thousand eager boomers are here
and at least another thousand are along the line
south of here. The half dozen hardware stores
have sold out their entire stock and the de-
mand is not half supplied The boomers are
forming into small colonies of TWENTY-FIVE TO
fifty persons and are devising schemes to out
wit their neighbors and get into the heart of
Oklahoma by the appointed time There is a
feeling all along the border that there will be a
general forward movement into the territory
on the night of April 20. Boomers who have
been here all winter have picked out their
land and they are suspicious and afraid of the
new cOmers. They don't propose to have the
land they fought and bled for jumped by re-
cent arrivals.
THEY HAVE PICKETs IN HIDING
in the Oklahoma woods, who are keeping them
posted Word was received to-day that the
boomers on the Texas border were becoming
very impatient and they were liable to march
III before the 22d and seize their claims before
daylight on that date. A panickv feeling pre-
walls all around and threats of a very sangui-
nary character are being made by old boomers.
They claim they developed the agitation that
led to the opening of the territory, and that
now land sharks are trying TO get possession of
their property. The state line for hundreds of
miles is dotted with ''prairie schooners" All
are preparing for the flight into the promised
land. Many settlers whose geography is faulty
are already from ten 20 fifteen miles in the ter
ritory and still claim they are in Kansas.
