KIowAs. March 15.--The laugh is on
the "boomers," that is the expression of
sentiment with which the presidents
proclamation was received here. |
Boomers who had the good sense to re-
frain joining yesterdays invasion, are
doing the laughing while their more |
hot headed companions look upon the |
matter anything but laughable. A |
third peri apps of the whole number of |
boomers y no passed the line yesterday |
have already returned or are ON their /
way back to this place. They come |
back with good deal of their
impetous energy lost, to wait as near
their prospe ctive claims as posi- |
ble for the formal opening OF the strip. |
The report tn 1t company OF cavalry |
would arrive ais afternoon caused some |
uneaSineSS but as the hours rolled by |
without the I ops pui ing in appear
ance, coniiCle,t tce was restored and feel
ing OF security prevailed. This how
ever was short lived FOR at four o'clock
the news that 5he president had issued
n procla nation ordering all settlers off
the strip was received. In a few
minutes a larg number of men who had
stakod claims and had returned here for
proviS.o gathered together on the
street corners and discussed the situa-
ton. Some counselled prompt COM
pliance with the presidents order, but
others insist I'd that it was good plan
TO mold their claims until expelled by
troops and then as soon as the soldiers
were out of sight return and begin farm
ing operations. Advocates of the latter
plan are evidently the majority.
