MAGIC CITY OF A DAY.
Five Thousand People Now Located OF

the Chandler Town Site.
Another great Oklahoma rush is over
and another city IS born. Where at
noon on the day of opening not sign Of
human Ia bitation existed, there is now
a city OF 5, 600 people. liEndreds OF white
tents CLEAN among the trees. the sounds
OF the saw and hammer are heard, and
people are buying and selling. At al
early hour in the morning Governor
Steele exhibited a pat of the town site
Of Chandler, and announced that the
survey was completed, and at HISS the
bugle would give warning, and at IL
m. {. vOlley from the soldiers mus
kets in the center OF the public
square would be the signal to
"go." The 5000 people who had
the town site were gleefui. BY 10
O'Clock horSemen and footmon stood
three and five deep at ali available
points of the east and west borders of
the town site. Few people had noticed
that the sky was overcast with black
clouds, and all were surprised when,
with crash Of thunder. rain began to
fall. For two hours it poured a perfect
deuge and the water ran in streams.
Every one was dr"nched, yet not per-
son moved from the line. Men In broad
cloth, women in silk, cowboys, gam
bler>, preachers, boomers, all stood and
took the rain. All were too eager for
home or q fortune to lie moved by a mere
drenching. The plot showed that
Manual avenue, fronting on the public
square and running II lie through the
town and all on the smooth back bone Of
the town site, would be the main bust
ness street. For it everybody was
headed.
The thick woods did not hinder the
hOrsemcn, who, a the signal was given,
dashed at breakneck speed for the best
lot they cou'd get. Jumping from their
horses they would jam stake into the
ground and yell, This is my lot, " while
horses ran loose pell nell everywhere.
The footmen, however. in many in
stances got the best lots, as the horses
could not he stopped under fifty feet.
Many men were knocked from their
horses by tree limbs, while many horses
and men fell fat in the rush, yet there
was but one serious accident Miss

rocky cliff, the horse fell and threw her
against bowlGcr. Her forehead got an
awful blow and her left leg was fractur-
ed. She was TN, onscious for three
hours. Immcdia ely upon rcgaintng
consciousness she declared: The lot
where fell is all mine Selling fast,
at once the scramble began. Many lots
had from two to three claimants each
contending that he was there first, One
contestant would buy out another, while
those who "got left" at once wanted to
buy. One corner lot sold for 5000 and a
good many went at from So, to 500.
