THE BOOMERS ABROAD.

The irrepressible boomers are on
the move again. This time 1t is the
Cherokee outlet, where they have
no business to be. AS usual they
are acting on bad advice or strange
misinfOrmaton. 1t is unfortunate
for the boomers and unfortunate
in many ways that such things
should be. 1t does seem, after
all ;the experience the boomers
have had, that they ought to know
better. 1t is perhaps the fault OF
authorizes sometimes that they
have not had better Instructions.
The boomers are leaving the Strip.
They heed the warning given IN
the Presidents Proclamation which
will be found in another column.
Many poor people who focked to
Cherokee Strip under the wrong
impression that it was open to set
Element have not the means to re.
turn, and will remain till the troops
drive them ont. This of course
will cause much suffering, especially
among the poor women and chill
dren. While many of these peO-
pie knew better aud only hoped to
hold on to their illegally acquired
lands by boldly attempting to
bluff the government, and deserve
no pity, and should be promptly and
uuceremOniously bounced, there
are others who thought they were
acting in strict accordance with
the law, having been deceived and
miSled by designing sharperS'
These are greatly to be pitied and
should be mcrcifully dealt with if it
is possible for the authorities to do
so by distinguishing between two
classes. Why the government
officials cannot or do not make
these things so plain tat even
the most ignorant cannot be mis-
taken does seem strange to the
average mind and gives rise to the
faint suspicion that all may not be
just exactly right in all the high
places.

BURBANK'S AWFUL EXPERIENCE.

noon. He was cutting ice on the
mill pond when Suddenly the cake

from the rest, and Q was swept
toward the dam 200 yards below.
His companions on the pond were
unable to render any assistance.
Just as the ice cake toppled
over The thirty foot dam, Burbank

with the rushing waters he sue
ceeded in grasping the edge of the
tImbers of the dam. Burbank

of despair. 1t was simply a test
of endnrence. For half an hour

on the edge OF the falls, but then
beuumbed with cold, the nails aud
flesh torn from his hands by the
rushing waters, he was forced to
let go, and was swept under the
revolving wheels Of the mill, aud
on under the ice in the river below.
Al this time the villagers who
stood on the river bank, Ooch be.
low and above the mill, gave up all
hope of every seeing Burbank
again. Great was their surprise
to see him appear in an opening In
the river, nearly quarter ola mile
below the mill, and cling to the
ice at the edge. Several of the
NEIL at once ran 10 his assistance,
and Burbank was dragged from
the river insensible but still alive
after his terrible journey.
Burbank states that, although
only a few seconds elapsed from
