the settlers have come to regard as a necessary component part of the strip atmosphere. The favorable conditions were a great relief to the boomers, who suffered so greatly the past week from the unprece- dented hot spell. The greatest rush was into the eastern portion of the country, which contains by far the more fertile and best watered farming land in the whole strip. Perry, town site on the Santa Fe, was the favorite destination of spec ulators, but Milford and Pond Creek, on the Rock Island, were objective points of the throngs who made the run from Caldwell.
 FULL OF EXCITEMENT.
 A view of the rush at F o'clock from the observatory on Chilo. coco school was full of exciting in terest. With field glasses the view of the long line of horses and men densely packed for 200 feet back could be seen getting ready. The sharp crack of a revolver was distinctly heard, and immediately following the reports of a hundred carbines a hoarse yell went up, soitened by the distance, and the line got iu motion. Horses were seen to shoot out from the rock ana dash across the prairie, then dense cloud of dust obscured the line for moment, but the brisk wind from the west cleared it away for an instant, and the men and wagons could be seen scattering as the slowest were left behind. Now and then a wagon would go over with wheel knocked off. A horse was seen to rear in the air as he was struck by wagon tongue and fall back. His rider was up in an instant and bent over the horse. Then he arose and, from the gestural actions, it was plain to be seen that he had been left at the post. The last of them was not long in disappearing over the hill into the valley at the south line of Chilicoco re- serve. The rear is being brought up by a throng of men and women on foot and a few teams on the walk. The trains did not pull out at the Santa Fe yards till long af- ter F and the jam was then awful, at least 15,000 including most of the population of Arkansas City were there to board the trains. Special trains from Wichita, Winfield and other near points came in loaded with sight-seers. Box, cattle and flat cars were brought into requisition, and every switch en- zine used to pull the trains out.
