DR.. A Collins, a Connecticut physician,
probably recognizes the appropriateness of
the name, Devils Hop Yard" given to p
stretch of forest lying in the northeastern
part Of the state. While driving through
this wood one night not long ago, two
wild cats sprang from the boughs of a
hemlock tree. According to a veracious
.chronicler, "one landed on the launches oil
the horse and the other dropped into the
bottom of the carriage and fastened its
teeth in the flesh of the doctors legs. A
desperate struggle ensued, in which the
doctor, from loss of blood and strength.
became unconscious. In an inside pocket
of his coat the doctor carried a small med.
icine case. During the struggle this fell
out and attracted the attention of the cat.
which began to claw it and tear it with its
teeth. In doing SO it broke a bottle of
chloroform and the contents seem to have
stupefed 1t. A farmer passing over the
road some time later found the doctor un-
conscious and the wild cat among a lot Of
broken bottles in the bottom of the car
riage in a deep %stupor."

ON THE RAGGED EDGE.
Waiting the Word to Enter the
Coded Indian Lands.
Trouble Imminent Between
Cowboys and Negroes.
The Indians Are Liable to Take
a Hand in 1t.
waiting for the Opening.

GUTHRIE, L. T., Sept. l9.-The ex-
element grows greater each hour among
the people who will make the race for
homes in the Indian lands next Tuesday.
There are several causes here for excite
ment, the chief being the large number of
negroes who have gathered by hundreds
at Langston, Oklahoma; the negro colony
who intend to enter en- masse upon the
Cimarron valley, the best OF all the new
lands, and settle there to the exclusion OF
all other settlers. Many white settlers.
among them being = number of desperate,
INSCRIPTIONS COWBOYS who object to the
negroes plans, and will take desperate
chances to pre-empt claims IL the very
face of the negro hosts. The most des-
perate say they will oppose by force the
the wholesale settlement of the negroes
in the valley. Cooler heads, however,
know that the race will be to the swift, no
matter what be his color. If the negroes
get there first the land is theirs. If the
whites outrun the negroes the latter must
look elsewhere for claims.
Another cause of excitement is the
hatred of the Indians for the negro. The
Sacs and Foxs claim their lands were sold
to the government under the distinct
agreement they were to be opened to
white settlement, The Cimeron val
ley includes a portion of their lands and
between the hostile Indians and the des
perate cowboys. the negro is having an
exciting time of it. Still another cause
for excitement Is the uncertainty as
TO just what lands may be claimed by the
ordinary settler. He may make a success
full race for a certain section of land and
may claim it but when he goes to the
land Office to file his claim he may find he
has claimed the Indians allotment or an
old soldiers presumption.
The land Office here is besieged with
veterans or their representatives, They
have formed long lines which stretch
from the door three or four squares In
the line are several old soldiers and specu-
lators who have purchased tor a trfiing
sum declaratory statements OF the old SOL
diers who sell them to the highest bidder.
Others have taken places in the line
simply to sell them TO some less fortunate
person. Out on the border there is a lit
tile excitement. 1t is a restless expecta-
tiou there. People are camped in prairie
sehoouers and brush cots for the most
part. but MANY have no covering but
blankets with the sod for beds.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l 9.-The secre-
tary OF the interior has instructed the
registers and receivers OF the land offices
at Oklahoma City and Guthrie that the
words white settlement" in the Sac and
Fox agreement does not refer to color but
mean that persons duly qualified under
the laws of the United States without
regard to color, may make settlement.

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Sept. l9.-The
terrible heat of the past few days has
scorched every stubble field and range in
the state until the faintest spark is suficient
to start an almost unquenchable fire. An
intense anxiety exists over the danger in

BACK FROM THE CONVENTION.
PIth of the Work Dom by the Salt
Same IrrIgatIOnIsts.

Frank Bond and Andrew Gilchrist re-
turned from Salt Lake Yesterday morn
ing. They were delegates to the irriga-
ton convention. The other delegates are
expected home TODAY or tomorrow. Mr..
Bond is extremely well pleased with the
result of the convention and is Drumming
full OF enthusiasm. There were about
500 delegates at the convention. Every
man paid his own expenses, consequently
40 one was there excep t those who were
vitality interested in the subject OF irriga-
ton and ceding the arid lands to the
states. Mr.. Bond says there we're some
men, and smart men too, who went there
with the avowed intention of fighting the
proposition of ceding to the states the
arid lands. They concluded. however, t.
keep quiet for a day or two until they
heard the other side. When they hac
heard the other side they felt ready Il
approve the proposition.
Mr.. Bond said it developed in the con
ventIon that every state will have its owl
way VI hauaSihk ~ uItkhtiOH SCutmcb
and that the general government never
could have handled the great problem sat
isfactorily to all the states. The conven-
ton finally after killing scores of lengthy
resolutions which amounted to laws, passed
one which was simply to the effect that
congress be recommended to pass laws
ceding the arid lands to the states, and
also the timber lands. The convention
reasoned hat the timber lands should be
included SO that each state might protect
the timber within lis borders; that
otherwise the timber would be destroyed
by fires and the rainfall become annually
less. Some of the delegates wanted to in
clude the mineral lands and there was a big
fight on that point. The conclusion was
that as the mining avs are all right no
advantage would be gained by taking the
mineral lands out of the hands of the gem
eral government.

Sullivan Probably a hundred, and OF
that number half perhaps have stood vi
against the champion. What has become
Of them allt 1t is hard to say, but the
story of one has just hoated into print.
His name is Sylvester LIE Ccurif, a giant
Italian fisherman, OF Astoria, Or. He was
the kingpin and bully of the r~oustabouts
and sailors. When the Boston boy visited
the Pacific coast some years ago on a spar
ring tour LIE Gouriff attempted to win the
standing prize of 81 600 for any one who
could stay in the ring for four rounds. The
fisherman was knocked out N ten seconds.
He has been gradually losing his mind
ever since and is now hopelessly insane.
