GUTHnIE, o. T., Sept. 21-The excite
ment grows hourly greater among the
people who will make the race for homes
in the Indian lands which will be open
ed to settlement tomorrow. There
are several causes for excitement, chief
among them being the large number Of
negroes, who have gathered by hun
dreds at Langston, the Oklahoma negro
colony, and who intend to move en-

outfit and were soon on their way to the

dreds OF people and there Is much con-
fusion and excitement. Out on the
border there is little excitement. 1t is
a restless expectancy there. The peo-
pie there are camped in prairie schoon-
