pain that came from an enemy's bullet.
The ander-in- chief was asked what
probable action the encampment would
take on the matter of pensions.
Well. / intend to let them talk all they
want 10 on that matter" was his reply.
lie did not care 10 20 into the question OF
probable action of the Grand Army. as tn at
was a matter that the eDcampment itself
would properly discuss. lie was requested
10 give some expression regarding the re-
cent decision of the Pension Commissioner

pensions. This was n the eases where the
old soldiers had been dropped from the rolls
and then given SIXTY days In which TO
prove the validity OF their claims.

pensions without giving the old soldier q

the pensioner WAS unworthy of relief, or
that he had obtained the pension bg fraud.
The matter of pensions Will. OF conrse, be
an important one before the encamu ument

Thousands Leaving the Cherokee strip
as q Land of Unfulhlled Promise.
A gale yesterday swept the Cherokee
strip, lifting great volumes Of the black,
dry earth. and tearing tents away from
their fastenings. Tented towns were laid
low by the wind and little progress was
made by the army of town builders. Thou
sands moved out of the land of promise
Many have lost the prizes they raced for
last Saturday. but many others who had
undisputed possession of farms abandoned
their claims to return to their old homes,
thoroughly Disguised with the country.
Life on the broad houseless prairies was
almost uncomfortable yesterday and every
tented city from the north to the south
line was teeming with dust-begrimed thou
sands whose principal occupation seemed
to be to escape the effects Of the dust-laden
winds.
At Perry the "sooners" have full but
disputed possession of the business center
and business men are being driven to the
town of Wharton a mile below, where the
railroad buildings are located In the center
Of Indian allotments.
The Cherokees are almost giving away
lots to those who will erect buildings and
the railroad company is encouraging the
Wharton.
The line of claim-takers surrounding the
land ONCE rivals In numbers the line that
awaited their turns at the registration
booths before the opening Reports are all
TO the enect that the choice claims in the
strip were all taken by "sooners"
Those who made the great race honestly
last Saturday found the bottom lands all
taken and In many instances men were at
work blowing ground about houses half
completed OF sod or boards These Soon
ers have profited by their Oklahoma ex-
perfence. 1t will be impossible to convict
them of perjury this time They all will
have their witnesses on hand to swear each
other out and the man who had the swift
race horse will have no show because none
of his friends were with him.
Numerous prairie fires have been the
cause OF more deaths than six-shooters
and more charred bodies. on which there
was nothing to identify them were found
on the prairies
Near Blackwell four quarter sections
were found In possession Of as many soon
their foam-fecked horses. The claims were
valuable and the racers proceeded to drive
the sooners away; fight ensued in which
three men were killed Arthur Johnson of
Pueblo. Co.; George Childs Of Valley Falls
5. D.. and James Souires Of Hennessey,
Okla, all sooners.
A large mass meeting was held last night
and resolutions were adopted demanding
the surrender to the civil authorities Of the
soldier who killed ]. A. Hill at the line of
the Chilocco reservation Saturday after
noon. The officers Of the third cavalry
persistently decline to give the name of
| the soldier who did the shooting claiming
| that In killing Hill he was simply obeying
orders. The remains Of the dead man were
shipped to his former home in New Jersey.

VALKYRIE HAS BEEN SIGHTED.
Regarding the Missing Yacht
Relieved.

All uneasiness about the safety Of the
British racing cutter Valkyrie WAS dis
PEELED by the arrival Yesterday afternoon of
the steamship Spain. with the news that
she had sighted the yacht on Saturday last.
and that she would probably be In port
this evening.
Although no signals were exchanged be-
tween the big steamer and the yacht. 1t Is
presumed that all are well on board the
smaller craft. At the time the yacht was
sighted the wind was blowing from the
south southeast.
IF 1 had known that the valkyrie had
not been reported since she left shs other
side" said Capt. w. A. Griinths of the
Spain last night. II would certainly have
borne down on her and gone alongside.
But Of course. I had no idea that there was
any uneasiness about her. and SO 1 kept
on my course. am quite sure that she was
the Valkyrie. as know the boat well. 1t
was Saturday morning at 1. o'clock when
We sighted her. The wind was blowing
from the south-southeast and she was be-
having beautifully under full sail She car
rfed tib and staysail. mainsail and gaf
topsau. and was about six miles south OF
US. / should Judge that she was making
ten knots an hour. and the Spain was
making about the same.
I'VE kept in much about the same posi-
ton all day. It was raining and murky.
At o'clock 1t grew darker. and We lost
sight Of her. That was just 20 miles
