A TO RUSH IN.
Boomers Waiting for the Opening OF Oh
Cheyenne Reseryation.

Boomers Waiting for the Opening OF the
Cheyenne Reservation.
Ell RENO, o. r., March 26.-The
boomer is upon us. All the week long
trains of w~hite-covered wagons have
dragged their length along the high
ways, bound for the border of the new
lands. For the last week the sound of
hammer and saw has been heard all
night long, not ceasing for sleet or
snow, as the tired boomers rugged up
their temporary shelter of frame and
sheeting.
The border Of the town and all va
cant lots inside are covered with tents
and shacks. Additional wells are be-
ing sunk to accommodate the thirsty,
and dozens Of sheds are being erected
to shelter the homeless.
Three new lumber yards moved into
Ell Reno this week, giving us seven in
all, and all are busy retailing frames
for small buildings. Carload after car
load of horses have been rushed into
market, until a good morse hat will
outrun a locomotive can be purchased
for from SEQ to $50. Carloads of tents
are spread out for inspection and sale,
and saddles and brides are in great
demand. N
Everything necessary and useful for
taking and holding q claim is in the
market, and the sharp competition
keeps the prices away down. The
streets and roads and parks are filled
with riders, each proud of his steed
and confident of his staying qualities
and speed.
The school section adjoining FL Reno
has been secured for the benefit Of
campers, and as the corner touches the
depot grounds of the Rock Island it is
very convenient, and in a few days
will be a nicely laid out town Of wag-
n and tents. The side tracks Of the
railroad are full of cars of plumber,
and the force of clerks is doubled to
accommodate the public. The rail.
road agent has called for a force of
sufficient help to assist during the
rush, that all plumber may be received
at once by the emigrauts. -.
The daily excursions are landing
from $50 to 200 home-seekers in the
town, and all appear to be men Of
some means, who do not expect to find
bread and meat growing on the trees
of the Cheyenne country.
Governor A. j. Seay had a conference
with Special Inspector Weigle here and
arranged the plans of the new county
seat town. This location is not finally
decided upon, but will be given out in
a few days In all cases they will be
the north half or south half of Sec
tions, and lots will be laid off running
north and south with residence lots
fifty feet wide, nine blocks of each
town being reserved for public pur-
poses A surveying corps will be sent
at once to survey the sites. All allot-
ments to Indians from the field have
been completed and the allotting
parties are in, making out reports. A
few remaining Indians will be allotted
from the office, but all sllotting and
reports will be completed this week.

Modern witohcraft in salem.

During a recent rainstorm in Salem,
Mass, electricity played some queer
pranks at Porter's market, a y the
Portland Transcript. On the roof of
the building is q ~clothes-line. During
the storm a towel blew from this line
and lodged upon an clectric-lighting
wire below. Being wet, it woand
around the wire and the electricity
passed through IL and shot down into
the ground, where it came IN contact
with the w%ater-pipcs leading into the
building.
1t ran along the pipes and the first
thing IL encountered in the basement
was i pot of hot lard, which was boil
ing on the stove. The lard was illu-
minated and the young man in charge
thought it must be burning. He
started to remove it from the stove
and received a shock that sent him
against the basement walls.
Pale with fright, he rushed upstairs,
where a fcllow-workman. noting his
pallor, reached for the wa%ter-faucct to
get a glass Of water. No sooner had
he touched the faucet than he had oc-
casion TO pick himself up from a far
corner of the room.
For a few moments everything
seemed turned into nm electric bat.

red, electricity flew from the water
pipes and flashed around the bands on
the w~ater-pails.
At length some one found the cause
Of the trouble and the towel was res
moved.
