would certainly have been shooting af-
Tray. One interesting event to-day was the
arrival Of a mixed train with al number OF
flat cars absolutely packed with settlers,
there not being sufficient number OF
coaches available at this end of the line to
accommodate the great crowd moving for
the reservation. A special train arrived to-
night containing more than 500 persons, and
reports aresbeing received from innumera-
bic localities OF the forming of colonies to
start at once for the reservation. People
have been disappointed so o.ten regarding
the opening OF the reservation. that they
have bee5sIa little conservative and this rush
a week hence promises to be. greater.
Even with the rush at present the
influx Will increase from day to, day. The
Indians at Lower Rrule WHICH agency
contains about 2,000 red men,, are in the
best OF hulnor. and enjoy hugely the in
cessant strife between white men for posses
sion of lands ceded by them. The agency
IS on the bottom, where the great struggle
is going on Tor possession, to be used for
town. site purposes, The settlers thus far
have been of desirable character, the

this crowd will undoubtedly DRIFT in as the
opening OF the reservation becomes gener-

The reservation. is being settled rapidly,

respectable proportions will be built during
the next few weeks. Thesush continues for

being given to the Crow creek reservation.
Many Of tbs original settlers on that do

bill, are returning and ae-establishing sheir

their absence new arrivals have taken pos

of 1885. In some cases there will be trouble,
the new settlers manitesting determine
ton to stick to the land. They can accom-
p1ish nothing by this, however, as they are
sure to. be beaten when tried by the land Of
flee officials. A party Of old timers, per-
sons thoroughly acquainted with the reser-
vatioa and who are positive that they know
Of the existence Of coal, started out this att
erneon for the purpose of prospecting ana
point about forty miles from its mouth,
where they claim coal can be found i'll in
exhaustable quantities. The Indians have
frequently brought in specimens, but white
persons have of late been prevented from
prospecting for the mineral. The rush is
on the increase tonight and interest una
bated. AT the present rate of settlement it
would not take more than three months to
settle the entire 10000, 600 acres acquired by
the government.
