into that country. Several other boomer
leaders will also head small bands, and
leave for the Strip in different directions
They bank greatly this time on going ia
small bands, and, by SO doing, puzzle and
elude the Iniian police who are so prevail
ent in that country just now All the
available conveyanceS that can be iound

reDorts the chances are decidedly in favor
of an almost deserted city here by tomOr-
row night. Dill and O'COnnor, the lead
ers of this great band, must have some
prettv substantial authority for this move,
as they are sharp, shrewd men and keep
thoroughly posted on all matters pertain
ing To the strip.
