ssw town. especially a town made on Sat
urday afternoon. Is never very enjoyable
day. and it was less 30 than usual in the
little city Of Perry. The great majority OF
sznts and supply wagons did not arrive un-
Gil lste and everybody was busy trying 70
sst away from the dust o; terrible gale.
The signal for the start Saturday
was the firing Of the guns Of the soldiers
and deputy marshals.
The creates. struggle Of the day took
place in the rush Of ten thousand people a.

which could carry but a few over a thou

Men were pushed of upon the ground,
women ioetlei rudely, and the cars cleared
Of all save few favorites in the ring. The
people in the frs; train were told that
everybody must 60 up TO the line to get in
the trains, and hundreds walked through
Q mile OF strsus.iny dust 10 the line only
70 find the train from which they had been
elected 60 By them without stopping.
The frst train was filed with peop pie
who had been gwen inside information.
When the trains pulled up to the line
the terrible struggle began. Women bad
their clothes tom of and were trampled
under foot; Al decency. self-resp@ct
MANHOOD and wonauhood were laid aside
The first train into Perry found the t--s'
lots taken by sccners and fas; horsemen.
and by the time the second train arrived
most Of the :o11 -.te was preeiupted.
Before night h1sirsss houses were doing

town were talking about elec;ing city
