men were all busy preparing to leave
for Chicago on the late train, and
didn't have any time to discuss the
speed or lack of speed in any Of the
flyers. Several alleged local spors
congregated in various corners OF the
lobby and criticised IN general and
specific ways the accuracy OF the
timers. the decisions of the judges. and
the horsemanship of the drivers, but
as none of the horsemen we're there To
hear them, their information was lost
to the profession. Orrin A. Hickok

Out Of the Earth Boomers Seemed
to be Rising.
AND PUSHING ON TO SISSETON.
A Big Scramble for Homes-Squatters
Against Fiiers-Thousands or Dollars
Paid for First Place In Line-At the
Cheyenne Reservation.

BROWNS VALLEY, Mimi, April 16.-The
terday, the almost simultaneous crack OF
a car bine, then volley from the whole
far-reaching line OF cavalry as the signal
was taken up and carried In reverberat-
ing report to thousands OF waiting ears,
q few more halting shots becoming faint
sr as the distance increased and the els-
seton reservation was at last open.
The military withdrew from the bor-
der and rcioined their companies. From
the brush along the shore OF the Mime
sofa river, from ravines hitherto held to
be unpopulated, from every conceivable
spot bordering on the reservation that
could shelter man, horse or wagon,
sprang hordes OF home seekers.
On Wednesday night the town was
filed with men. Thursday, there were
only few to be seen. No one seemed to
know where the crowd had vanished. 1t
was not difficult problem to solve, how
ever. Early liz the morning men in twos.
threes and fours, carrying laden sacks,
sledge hammers, axes, spades and other
away up the ravines. Several hundred
slipped quietly out OF the town in this
way and all through the night the bor-
der was lined with them.
There were all sorts and conditions Of
men; some who had never passed night
out OF doors in their lives, slept on the
damp ground with naught but the starry
sky above them. The west shore OF Lake
Traverse Is the border line OF the reserva-
tion for almost its entire length. A feet
OF RATS and other hastily improvised
craft, laden with household goods so that
the gunwales came within few inches
OF the water, lay along the shore early in
the day awaiting the stroke OF IL. Many
of their occupants had not tasted food
for 20 hours. There they eat, stoical as
Indians and more determined. Hundreds
lined the way all along the border from
Hankinson, south.
There are now fully 5000 settlers on the
reservation. These are pretty we'll divided
between the northern and eastern borders.
The squatter Is monarch OF all he surveys.
rhe filler is literally out of the running.
Perhaps not over 400 men engaged in
he scramble over the line to the west,
cut for all that it was a spectacle not easy
20 forget. With the crack Of the carb ne
100 horses dashed madly forward, urged
% desperate speed by their excited riders.
they were bound for the Sisseton city
own site. Struggling along to the rear
came loaded wagons with from two to
,ix horses on each. They were lasbed
anmercifully by their drivers. The
cracking OF the whips, the dull thunder
OF hoofs in the damp sod and the yells of
the drivers as they struggled FOR the lead
filled the air with an unwontcd din.
Still further to the rear came those
without conveyances struggling forward
with their kits and tools until the reserva-
tion was dotted with them. The mounted
crowd was soon beyond the range of vis-
ion, and as they disappeared they were
seen cons nsderably strung out, the leaders
evidently saving their strengh for a hard
run at the finish.
