Large Number OF Settlers Ready to Take
Possession of the "strip"

CALDWELL, KAs., January 29.-Not
since the opening of Oklahoma have
such scenes been enacted upon the
streets Of this city as were seen last
evening, The streets are crowded with
people. This is the headquarters OF
the Dill-Connor colony Of Cherokee
boomers, and its members have heen
focking here for the week past in an

boomers present decidedly more pros
porous appearance than did the Okla
homa boomers. The former are well
equipped with first-class out
money to carry them through until
harvest time. The actual movement
into the strip will be made tomorrow.
A great many Of the boomers are now
in, the lumber yards have all done a
booming business for two weeks past,
and most Of the boomers carry enough
lumber with them to build a shanty.
Others have exhausted the supply Of
tents In the town, and tent cannot be
bought for any money. The stocks Of
groceries and dry goods have been ex-
uduslcu anu HcW supplies udN' p'cu

present numbers about 500 families.
The total membership of the colony Is
about > 800, and those who are not now
on the ground are expected within the
next day or two.

Rock Island railroad yesterday and was
named Enid. Active building opera
tions will be in progress to-day, and

Wholesale Burial-fhs Solemn Scenes.
More Stringent Nine Laws Needed.

ScoTTDALE, PA. January 29.-Thls
afternoon ii was discovered by the rolls
OF the Frick Company that twenty
three more men are missing in addition
TO the l07 found dead. This increases
the total dead TO 1870. II lis probable the
remaining twenty-three will not all be
found for weeks, owing TO the immense
piles Of wreckage that must be under
mined. Master Workman Rae, OF the
United Mine Workers, is laboring with
his colleagues 10 form more stringent
mining laws for this State, and innuen-
tial politicians are preparing TO push
them In the Legislature. Asit Is, there
seems TO be no way for the people 70
reach the company for damages.
The bodies of twenty-thrce more
miners, who were killed in the Nam
moth shaft explosion, were quietly laid
to rest in the Catholic cemetery here at
noon to-day. There were thousands OF
spectators who viewed the loading OF
the bodies on the road wagons with pro-
found sorrow. Father Lambing con
dncted the solemn funeral services. The
procession to-day was more after the
regular funeral fashion. The bodies
were all loaded on wagons, which led
the procession. and the carriages and
buggies carrying the mOurners followed.
This makes ninety-two victims OF the
calamity which have been inferred IN
the Catholic cemetery, and the number
will doubtless reach the hundred mark.
Many OF the graves will have the in
scription on the tombstone Unknown
as many OF the bodies were so horribly
mutilated and charred aS 10 be unrecog-
nzable. II is believed that there are
still more bodies In the shaft that have
not been recovered.
PTTTsBuRG, January 99.-There is
nothing 10 be- done at the Mammoth
mines but search for the remaining dead
and care for the living. A legislative
committee from Harrisburg, with Mr.
Farrell In charge, Is now investigating
the disaster A call has been issued for
the National Board OF the United Mine
Workers to meet at Scottdale next
week instead OF Columbus. The III. {.
Frick Company, owning the Mammoth
mine, has put aside $4,000 for the inn
mediate relief OF the hun
ired distressed families In
to paying all funeral expenses.
President Rae, of the United Mine
Workers, say the gas pocket theory Is
and the explosion oc-
Cured from a long accumulation Of
gas. This point may be decided when
the Coroner investigates the cause OF
the accident next week. Most OF the
lead miners used naked lamps instead
