Chandler Is the name chosen for the gov
ernmental reserve of one mile square for the
location of the county seat of the northern
OF the two new counties; aud it is freely dis
cussed that skulduggsry has parcelled out
the advantages to be there gained by first Sc
ieciions of lots among federal and territorial
officers and theiz faVoEites- Tkis has led to
the organization Of rival on al adjoining
section of land to be called Allison; named
for the Kansas Allison who used to be dem
ocratlc editor at Winfield aud Wellington,
Kansas, and who has been appointed probate
Judge for the new county, and already elected
as mayor of the to be new city bearing his
name.
At these places, Chandler and Allison,
neither of which are as yet surveyed. there
are thousands Of people congregated in spite
of the restrictions in the presldent's prOcla-
nation to keep back sooners until Tuesday
noon.
Here most of the crowd of gamblerR who

Ia wagons on Sunday night and Monday, and

Here. also, is whisky galore; but. speaking
OF whisky, its prospective deVilish work Is
most seriously feared at LanGston and in the
valley of ths CimarroH, near by.
At Langston is an immense thronR of ne
groes, with constant additions to their num-
Der hourly arriving. These people are well
and propose to occupy it, though their num-
bers may compel them 10 take only forty
acres each; which, il 10 said has been practi-
cally agreed upon.
But in the neigh borhood of LanRston there
Is IN camp q large number of cowboys. most
of than supposed to be under contract to
take claims and turn them over to cattle
oerons for an agreed sum each. who defy the
negroes and talk fight. There Is likely to be
bloodshed when the hour comes and both
parties mlngls IN the rush, TO scatter out to
occupy individual claims.
Iecumseh Is the chosen name for the coun-
~ seat for the southern county. This county
has three hfths of its area taken ", BY Indian
allOtments, which will not DO taxable for
twenty-five years, and for this reason ia not
so desirable as the other county. where the
allotted lands are much less in acreage. But
Tecunseh is another center of strife for
choics in location.
