REGULATORS AND HOMESTEADERS.
KNGFIsHER, O. K. April 1S-Twenty-
five thousand boomers are bivouaclng To-
night on the borders of the CHEYENNE and
Arrapahee reservations. which Will be
rDeDed I'D to settlement tomorrow.
These. together with the people who VIII
make the race from the various other
towns along the Santa Ee and Rock Island
lines and Others who Will attempt TO Sc
cure claims by filing declaratory notices,
make total of some $1,000 people now
homeless. who tomorrow will have
located a site for home on either home
stead claim or townsite. The legitimate
seeker wants homestead of l6O acres. 1G
Is the speculato- who wants townslte lots.

Of town lots and to spare
Each of the six counties has, OF course
county seat. and any number OF other
towns are proposed. One is to be located
on the line OF the Rock Island, about half
Say between FL Reno and kingfisher. 1t
will be called Okarche. The Rock Island
will run special trains to it from both
directions, so that they will cross the line
OF the border at exactly noon. Another
town will be located at the terminus OF
The Oklahoma road west of FL Reno, while
various others will be located at desirable
distances from the county seats OF the
respective counties. lnDumerable rumors
are current tonight of steals and consplra-
cIes in connection with the locating of
these towns, involving federal and railway
officials, but none OF them can be traced TO
reliable sources.
The scenes at the land Office tonight
gre unique The seat warmers are passing
the night, some wrapped up ln'tarpaullns,
some covered with blankets and some sit
ting up telling over their war experiences.
Most of them are old soldiers. the only
ones permitted to file declaratory notices,
and they 90 not mind the hardspips incl
dent to night spent out OF doors. Inc
Seat warmers are confident CT holding their
own, and of being permitted to make
their filings the moment the marshAls S
L Il. hon of
eay that there is no law prohibiting their
Forming in line before the land office, at
sny time they may please. They pleased
to do SO for a week or SO ago, and they ask,
"What are you going TO do about lt!" AS
O matter of fact, nothing can be done
about it except 10 submit TO It,
United States Marshal Grimes is respon-
sible for the maintenance of order about
the land office. He authorized the line
and has given its members their mum bers,
bnd nothing can break it now but an at
Backing force able to overcome the mar
1hals deputies, sufficient number OF
whom have been sworn in to maintain or
der and to quell any possible disturbance;
phe line now numbers about 400 men, and
will probably not be added to hereafter
it is estimated that not more than three
filings can be made In minute; so that
the last man in the line would not get his
filing in until three hours after noon, by
which time most or the races from the
border will have located their claims.
Filing after that time will be useless. AS
a. is. there will be much disappointment,
both among the racers and the seat
warmers.
The scene on the border tonight is an in
feresting one The white tops of prairie
schooners, the fires of the camping boom
ers, and the tethered horses, give the scene
g. decidedly military aspect. There WAS
considerable confusion early in the even
hng, caused byNnany new arrivals, who
were seeking advantageous starting places
S0r tomorrow's race. Those who have been
waiting on the border for day or two
looked upon the new comers as interlop-
srs, and would not give in any way one
inch of their advantage. There is much
Ill feeling as a consequence, and IN some
Instances brawls We're uarrowlyaverted. By
E O'Clock, however, all was quiet along the
line opposite this place, except for the
tommotion occasioned by the arrival of
kome belated schooner or party of horse
men. The weather tonight is colder. The
wind has changed 10 +he north, and there
are prospects of rain tomorrow. Up TO
this time no casualties or affrays among
the boomers have been reported, and the
indications now are that the conquest of
the new lands tomorrow will be blood
less one.
