BUSTED BOOMERS.
They Are Returning in Droves
Disguised With Their Expert.

KANSAS GUY, Mo-. Sept. 1s.-The re-
treat from the Cherokee strip is still in
full force. Each train which pulls into
the union depot from the Southwest
brings hundreds of the disconsoiate
boomers. who only few days ago went
down to the strip with their hearts beat
ing high and their minds filed with
alluring pictures of wealth to be gained
from town lots and quarter sections.
Their clothes are covered with the dust
of the prairies, their faces are be-
grimmed, but through the dirt can be
seen disgust and discomfort. Nearly
all of them have portable camping out
fits, and they are returning gladly to the
homes which they left in such haste.
One and all tell the same story of the
management of the registration booths,
and the mad race for land on last Satur-
day. The tale Is a severe reflection on
the governments management of the
opening of the strip.
Among those who returned today
were Alexander ana William Gillespie.

from Arkansas City. Alexander Giles
pie dismounted from his horse on a val
liable claim when another boomer armed
with Winchester rode up.

this claim said he ''I've Jumped and
it's your move" With the last words
the second boomer pointed his Win
chester at Gillespie, VINO promptly
moved.

church policy of the governor. SCR.
Santa Maria, minister of justice ana
ecclesiastical affairs. has resigned his
office The reason given for his retire
ment is that he is not in accord with the
governments plans for reopening the
conflict with the Vatican. In view of
the increasing symptoms of hostility
displayed by the government, which
are attributed to the pope's friendship
toward France, the Vatican is again
considering arrangements in regard to
the pope'S exile from Rome. 1t has
already applied TO Spain on the subject.
1t will be remembered that when the
question of the pope leaving Rome
was agitated some time ago efforts were
made to secure his approval to project

CHARGES FRAUD.
A Suit Against George Fl. Fletcher
for So 200.

George 81. Fletcher mas been sued by
the AOrdyhe- Marmon Mill Furnishing
company for $4,000. The complaint al
leges that Julius Shadewald, in 1890,
purchased mill machinery from the
plaintiff, giving the notes of Pauline
Shadewald and Pauline Stackhof as
security therefor: that Fletcher told
them the notes were good. The notes
were not paid and judgment was OBJ
tanned.
The answer will set up, among other
things, that Mr.. Fletcher was at all
times an attorney at law, and the legal
advisor of Shadewald. and as such had
the right to do what he could in his in
terest, and to protect him against The
pushing or the Judgments if possible.
