CHEROKEE STRIP.
Movement En- Masse For the Fal
West Promised Land

movement En- Masse For the Far
West Promised Land.
Washington, Sept. 6-An official tele-
gram from the Cherokee outlet shows that
every home seeker who has presented
himself at the booths is registered, and
everything was in readiness this morning
for the home run. Registrations have far
exceeded in number the highest esti-
mates, and at Orlando alone $4,000 per-
sons received certificates.
$4,000 HoMEsEEKERs
Guthrie, o. T., Sept. 16.-AI night
there was hurrying TO and fro, and but
few of the 100000 boomers on the border
OF the promised land closed their eyes in
sleep. With prairie fires raging in front,
and the body strained by the pent-up ex-
citement of the coming struggle, there was
no room for sleep, nor inclination to rest.
Before the break of day everybody was
astir. This morning the scenes are the
same as have been witnessed at all other
great land rushes.
BtyoUACRGNG ON THE BORDER.
The day starts out cloudy, with
every indication of rain before
night. At least one hundred and
fifty thousand people bivouacked on the
border of the strip last night. Long be-
fore daylight thousands had assembled
about Santa Fe depot here, and train
after train was speedily packed with peo-
pie and pulled out from Orlando. Ar
riving at Orlando all were compelled to
leave the cars and take places with the
fifteen thousand people who had spent the
night there. At IL o'clock the first train
pulled up TO the line, and Others came
right behind it.
TRAINS JAMMED WITH BOOMERS.
There were at least half dozen trains
Everybody wanted to ride on the first
one, and as far forward in that as possi-
BILE. With a wild shout the crowd rushed
forward; soldiers on the ground we're
swept from their feet, and for q moment
it seemed as though the mob would capt
ure the train, for the men and women
were around and over the engine and
tender, upon and under the platforms,
and even upon the roofs Of the coaches.
The blue-coated guardians soon recov-
cred. however, and with fixed bayonets,
cleared the train ana compelled every
body to show his or her certificate before
entering.
WILD SCRAMBLE FOR PLACES.
But on every side people fought and
struggled to get near the cars. Women
had their clothes torn off, and men were
knocked down and trampled upon
Scores of people were injured, yet the
struggle kept up until the train filed, and
was repeated on smaller scale at each
succeeding train
BOOMERS SHOT BY SOLDIERS.
Guthrie, l. T., Sept. 6.-Information
received here by the Courier tells of four
boomers" being shot and fatally wounded
last night by soldiers. Their names are
at present unknown. The men killed had
received their certificates and gone into
the strip to locate their claims. Several
soldiers came upon the "boomers" and
called upon them to halt, which they re-
fused to do. Whereupon the soldiers fired
on them

Addresses Ine w mole ReOple OF the
State in Behalf of Brunswick.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.-Gov. Northen to-day
issued the following to the people of
Georgia.
To the People of Georgia. 1 am just in re-
ceipt OF telegram from Hon. Thomas W.
Lamb, mayor, informing me OF the continued
spread of yellow fever at Brunswick It is
now plainly evident that the fever will be-
come epidemic. The general assembly has
not provided any fund upon which can draw
for the relief of this stricken city. appeal
to the generous people Of the state to organ
ize in boards of relief in their several com
munities for the purpose of furnishing money
and provisions to the destitute and suffering
at Brunswick, Iurgently beg that this mat
ter be taken up at once, in order that the suf-
fering people may be assured OF our sympa-
thy and be comforted by our contributions.
Until we have further notice of the local or
ganization at Brunswick all funds and pro-
visions forwarded to Hon Thos. W. Lamb,

and that a better feeling would hence
forth prevail.
President Hugh Burford was quaran-
tined on his return to Brunswick at Way
cross, and had dif1culty in securing his
release. He was thoroughly indignant
and wrote on the back of his health GER
tifcate that he was trying to re-
turn to duty and was detained and
that moral municipalities should place
men of education and intelligence in the
responsible position of inspectors to inter-
view the travelling public and obviate all
ardships not essential to safety"
DIR. GUITERAs ON DUTY.
Surgeon Guiteras has received a long
complimentary telegram from Surgeon
General Wyman on his work here. Dr.
Guiteras viii remain until more surgeons
arrive. In my closing lines last night I
unintentionally wrote that Surgeon Cult
eras would not discuss the differences be-
tween himself and the authorities. 1t
should have read between himself and
the citizens. There is no conflict what
ever between the authorities Surgeons
Magruder and Geddings are enroute
here.
RED CROSS TO SEND AID.
Steps should be taken at once to ar
range hospital quarters and for nurses
Surgeon General Wyman is now com
municating with Miss Clara Barton, Of
the Red Cross Society, with reference to
her sending nurses here. She will re-
spond promptly. They will be needed.
The government should take charge of
our hospital. Brunswick has a magnifi-
cent 3-story brick and granite hospital not
yet completed that $1,000 will finish, but
Brunswick is penniless and can collect
nothing. If the government will complete
and furnish this at once accommodations
will be provided for several hun
dred patients With this and com
petent nurses that will come, the disease
can be handled with great facility. If
Brunswick had money her pride would
keep her from appealing for anything, but
we are helpless. Relief committee and
health board are the only organizations
that can secure quorum. The city council
isdemoralized, but Mayor Lamb, Aldermen
JOerger and Colson and one other will re-
main. No meetings are being held.
REFUGEES AT BLACKsHEAR.
Blackshear, Ga, Sept. 16.-Five per-
sons arrived here last night from Savan-
nah, having been furnished passes by
Health Officer Drummer. They all claim
to be citizens of Savannah, who had been
in Brunswick, but returned to their
homes as soon as the quarantine was
rails ed-and as soon as the quarantine was
again declared on, they were hustled out
of the city and detained at Southover
several hours and then sent here They
give their names and addresses as r. H.
Kelly and wife 81 Montgomery street,
Charles Smith, 1112 Perry street, Miss
Mamie Workman, 241< jackson street and
VIM. Smith, 241S Jackson street. The
first three are without means and our
people don't think Savannah should send
her citizens here foP,Blackshear to care
for, and at called meeting of the council
this afternoon quarantine was declared
against all infected points, and all per-
sons coming here must be provided with
health certificates.

WHEN THIEVES FALL OUT.
Crook in Texas Names the Men Who
Robbed the Glendale Train.


San Antonia, Tex, Sept 16.-Nathaniel
Myers, alias Chas. Leakman, who is in
Jail here charged with being implicated
in the Missouri Pacific train robbery near
Lamar, Mo, which took place two years
ago, makes some startling disclosures as
to the guilt of Marion Hedgepath, who is
in jail at st. Louis, charged with being
the leader of the Glendale train robbers,
who secured $4,000. Hedgepath
claims to be Myers double, and says that
the latter was the leader of the Glendale
robbery and not he.
Myers in reply to this says: 1 have
shielded Hedgepath all along in the mat
ter, but will now tell all | know He
got me into trouble, and is now trying to
put it all on me. l know that he is one of
the Glendale robbers, and l can produce
four witnesses that can prove that he is.
CALLS THE ROBBERS BY NAME.
When ! am called upon to tell what l
know about the Glendale robbery, my
testimony will implicate some Of the
most prominent business men of Kansas
City, Mo. 1t will be an easy matter to
prove that Hedgepath is guilty of the
robbery. Mrs. Hedgepath herself said
that her husband was one of the robbers
and that $40, 900 was secured. The money
was divided at her home in her presence.
Four of the men received an equal share
of the money. They were Hedgepath,
Mrs Hedgepath's brother, man named
Slye and Dick Wilson.
