The Line Already Formed for Slices OF
tho Cherokee Strip.
KISGFIsHER, o. T., Aug AIN anticipa-
tion of the early opening of the Cherokee
strip, line of intending settlers began to
form in front of the Kingfsher land Office
yesterday at noon. At first there were
only three or four persons in line, but the
number rapidly increased until there are
now fully forty This movement created
considerable excitement, as there are many
men Of prominence, influence and intelli-
gence In the line What private informa
tion the leaders in the movement have, if
any, no one outside knows. The land Off
cials claim to have no information from
Washington whatever upon the subject.
Pending the opening of tho Cheyenne
and Arapahoe country, in the spring Of
1882, the first man to get In line IN front Of
the land Office was one Keith, who had
made the trip from Los Angeles, Cal. for
that purpose. He got off the train and
went direct to tho land office and took his
position, holding ID for about six weeks.
He got one of the richest claims in the
country. --i

SEIZED THE COUNTY RECORDS.
A County Sent Controversy Settled by
Force of Arms.

WHEELING, w. Va. Aug. 4-St. George
has been the county seat Of Tucker county
ever since its organization. Some time
ago, by vote Of the people, the county
seat was removed to Parsons, a new town
on the West Virginia Central railroad. not
far from Ell<ins. A new court house was
built, and by order OF the court next Mon
day was the day set for the removal of
the county records There was reason to
believe that the citizens Of st. George
would resist the removal, so on Tuesday
night number of citizens conceived the
idea of stealing march on the st. George
people by removing the records during the
night
Accordingly company of 800 armed
men left Parsons to march across the
country to st. George. AS they were near
ing the old court house several shots were
fired at them from ambush. The road was
picketed all along, and only the darkness
of the night protected them from the shots
that came from every side. Further along
dynamite cartridges were exploded in their
path. On several street corners were
squads of St. George citizens, armed with
Winchesters The numbers of the record
removers however, must have awed them,
for they made no move at resistance. It
did not take long to gain entrance to the
court house and take possession of the
records, which were loaded into wagons
and conveyed over the mountain road and
deposited In the new building at Parsons.
The matter is not ended, however, and
1t is believed that the affair is the begin
ming of feud which may result seriously.
