Tomorrow, the 18th, is the last day to
admit cattle into the Cherokee Strip, and
there has been, and is yet, great rush to
this fine grazing country, and all roads for
the last four weeks have been taxed TO
their utmost capacity to get these Texas

the movement will not be so heavy, but Il
great number of cattle are yet 10 be moved,
as other portions of the Territory re
opened. and the bulk of the movement will
be TO the Creek Nation, and the cattle that
are to come vet are in far better shape than
the majority of those moved within the past
three weeks.
