THE DAKOTA BOOMERS.

WATERTowN, S. D., April 16-The line
at the land Office this morning was longer
than before the opening yesterday noon.
OF the 1000 filings made yesterday sixty
were rejected on account of conflict, and
anxious crowds hovered about the bulletin
boards where the names of the unfortuu-
ates were posted Everything is reported
harmonious on the lower end of the reser-
walton. 1t is noteworthy that during the
entire rush not one case of drunkenness
was reported.
LEDGERwoOD, n. D., April 16-There
was scarcely any trouble here in settling.
In almost every instance the boomers got
what they wanted, and nowhere are there
two men on the same quarter section.
Plenty of fine farming land is to be had
for several weeks to come, as the greatest
rush was made from points east and south
of the reserve While there were large
crowds of homeseekers here. the land
tributary to this point was not cut up so
much by Indian allOtments as that near
Browns Valley, Wllmot and Watertown.
BROWNS VALLEY, n. D., April 16.-The
situation here today presents nothing to
justify the slightest apprehension OF
trouble from claim jumping or any causes
which usually make mischief in similar
occurrences. The Sisseton reservation, SO
far as heard from, has been thrown open
without the firing Of "a shot or squatters'
TOW, DT any UuluS VA OhaI
There were broken wheels. smashed axles
and few brushes after the scramble for
the town site, but the contretemps were
taken good naturedly. A few minutes be-
fore o'clock the leaders in the town site
RAGS arrived on the chosen ground Half
an hour afterward 200 men and few
women were on the spot. There ensued a
discussion as to the exact locality of the
section line The first care OF the locaters
was to settle the women. Inside of an
hour restaurant and grocery store were
running i'll full blast, while a dozen
shanties were in course of construction.
The outlook for water and other neceS-
saries in the reserve is good. There will
be no suffering.
The new town is few miles near er to
Wheaton than to Browns Valley. The
sight is close to the intersection of three
proposed lines of railway. The order for
the withdrawal of the military is expected
on Monday. The crowd is increasing at
the townsite, but all is quiet Officials
who have just returned from the reserva-
ton say that the crowd at this point Is
slightly increasing, and that there Is liza
BILE to be trouble there, though not OF a
serious character. They found stragglers
in every direction.
In the last two hours they passed fifty
people on the way back here, discouraged,
bedraggled and exhausted. a few are now
arriving. and have not a word to say.
They became lost on the prairie and there
| by lost their claims The Indians picked
up quite a number and guided them back
! to town.

THE KNGFlSHER CROWD.

Special Dispatch TO the Daily Eagle.
KINGF1sHER, O. T., April 16-When the
south bound Rock Island pulled into the
station here today it was a sight to see the
crowd that was at the depot, TO say moth
ing of those who left the train here to
await the opening. AS a rule about half
the passengers get off at Kingisher and
the other half at FL Reno. A great many
boomers are pnlling out for Anadnrko, IL
being very close to the much coveted
lands The hotels here are crowded from
top to bottom with people waiting Hun
dreds of people have their blankets with
them and lie down wherever night hap
pens to find them.
There is considerable difference of opin-
ion here as to whether an old soldier can
file his declaratory here according to law
or not 1t seems the instructions are that
one must have his filing papers made out
in the county in which he takes his land
Ga very nice point of law here.)
Everything is orderly here, considering
the immense crowd of people. Ii the man
were here in Oklahoma that invented the
little electric battery for the riders of race
horses, ne could do good business. Even
footmen would buy. At the present
writing it looks like it will be little
windy for Professor Leroy's balloon trip.
| However it is a sure go, so he says
The kingfisher merchants are crowded
, with business. People VINO have been
here for some time and have run out of
supplies are loading up for next week, and
when noon of the 10Th comes they will
break over the line, and probably furnish
some of the town folks with sandwiches
at quarter apiece. About ten thousand
people will run for lots in counties Z and
H. How many will get them and stay is
the question.
| The bunco men got another victim here
this morning for 500. No one seemed to
| know either of the parties. The bunco
men started to skip, but the marshal says
| that they will stay awhile.

rush across the line, as it is only few
blocks west of the railroad track to where
they break over the line. Fine race horses
form every corner of the country are here
The folks who come from Wichita ana
other points to see the sight can, after the
rush is over land it wont last many min
! utes), take a short drive over to Fort
Reno and back in time for the north

of some twenty-five years, sober ana IN
dustrious, and, above all. efficient. he mas

fisher for some time and that they VIII
miss him there goes without saying. MI
Pronty says he is going to do all In MS
power to have mail delivered in the county

saws that he is going, like all new post
masters with limited outfit, but better
one will come bye and bye
There will be string of people on open
ing day at least three miles long along the
line, both above the North Canadian ana
clear below Ell Reno on the south, and one
can stand on the depot platform or IN the
cars and witness the rush.
A gentleman who is just in from an
overland trip forty miles west OF Mlnco,
says that the people are pouring IN there
along the line by the thousands, some or
them so far from the daily mails that they
cannot get word inside Of two days. Every
body, though, understands that next Tues
day at noon is opening time, and that IS
the time they are going to squirt thelr
horses.
A. n Lingaft, superintendent of the
Rock Island telegraph, was at Mlnco TO-
day, giving instructions for line south OF
that place The Rock Island is lin 1t" 30

The quiet little village of Sharon was
thrown into a Juror of excitement Sat
urday last by the discovery of the fact
that James Eason living east of town
several miles, had been craelly beating
and whipping little boy whom he had
taken to raise. On investigation it was
found that the boy was covered with
great welts, bruises and sores the re-
suit of other beatings, besides those re-
ceiyed recently. The boy was SO cowsd
that he would tell nobody except on a
promise of secrecy. Mr.. Eason was
fined five dollars and costs on charge
of assault and battery, but this was so
disproportioned to the enormity OF the
offense that popular indignation began
to talk of ropes, limbs and e state OF
suspense. Better council however pre-
vailed. The boy was taken charge OF
| by Mr.. Samuel Henton and Mr.. Ea son {
whereabouts and that of his mortgaged
team was at last reports unknown
The cruelty of the foster parent was
horrifying and the child to be plsled
