A RACE FOR LAND.
Thrilling scenes at the Opening of the
Cherokee strip in Indian Territory.

Thrilling scenes at the Opening of the
Cherokee strip in Indian Territory.
ARKANSAS CITY. Kan. Sept. Is. The
mystery which through SO many long
years of anxious waiting shrouded the
real character of the Cherokee strip.
the gauzy veil through which ex-
pectant homeseekers thought they
saw a Canaan, has been swept away.
At noon Saturday the signal was
given announcing the passing of the
title of the land from the United States
government 10 the boomers, and a race
such as was never witnessed before and
will probably never be seen again was
begun On the lines in the vicinity of the
various border towns the boomers had
gathered in great numbers. As far
as the eye could reach in either direc-
ton could be seen men mounted and in
wagons and on foot closely packed to-
gether, making a solid column 200 feet
or more wide in the middle and taper
ing away to a mere streak of black
in the distance. The scene when the
column broke at the firing of the
signal gun and each individual entered
the contest for a common prize can be
imagined better than described. Con-
fusion reigned everywhere. SO closely
were the contestants packed to-
gether that the start was a haz-
ardous one Horsemen were unseated,
wagons overthrown and pedestrians
Frustrated in the mad rush The
cries of angered men mingled with the
neighing of panic-stricl5en horses, the
shouts of the racers the gathering of
hoofs, the rafting of wagons and the
shrielling of locomotives combined in a
roar similar to that accompanying the
progress of a tornado.
In the race many men were injured
and some killed OF the latter some
met death by accident and two were
murdered. The dead bodies, one
stabbed and the other shot through the
head, tell the manner of death. Many
dead horses have been found on the
prairie. Some died Of ovrrexertion,
some We're killed by falling n the race
and others receiving broker limbs in
the rough prairie were shot by their
owners.
Judge Wollack, special agent of the
land office, has advices showing the
number of people who made the run
into the Cherokee strip far exceeds all
expectations The land office had
counted on $4,000 to make the run.
Fully 100000 started in the race,
and estimating the families of the mar
ried men at one to each certificate
bearer, the Cherokee strip has popu-
lation of 200, 600. The advices to Judge
Wollach show the racers were divided
about as follows among the border
towns: Arkansas City, $4,000; Orlando
$4,000; Caldwell, 5000; Hennessy. 10, 600;

through the northern part of Cava-
lier, Towner and Rolette counties,
and commencing with the 500 at
the boundary line, or extending it's
own road from the boundary to the
Canadian Pacific. It would run its
entire length from Grafton to the
boundary through an already devel-
oped country that would yield it a
paying local business from the start
and through which the expense of
construction would be very light.
If such road were built, Its com.
pletion from Grafton to Duluth
would be an immediate sequence
giving this whole country an air line

and mineral regions of Northern
Minnesota.
Possibly, in its present condition

disposed to project any new branches

might be induced to take hold of it,

Join With Cavalier.

Towner Co.. Tribune
A contributor to the Langdon
CoUR1ER-DEMoCRAT agitates the
question of an east and west rail-
road between Langdon and the inter-
national boundary line, and sug-
gests that the farmers of the north
.ern portion of Cavalier county talk
the matter over and see what can be
done to inaugurate the enterprise.
Towner and Rolette counties are
equally interested with Cavalier in
this matter, as the northern end of
these counties are particularly with
out railroad facilities, depending
entirely for railroad transportation
upon the Jim Hill aggravation, which
is more of a nuisance than benefit.
The building of the Langdon, St.
John and Bottineau branches was
lntended 10 pre-empt the territory
between the Red and Mouse rivers,
and keep other roads out. But a
glance at the map will show that
this scheme can be easily circumvent-
ed, and paying road built up in
spite Of Jim Hill. The aim of rail-
roads now being constructed in
North Dakota seems to tap the
Pacific at points as far west as pos
sible, so as to get as long haul on

'They say" that every goose
born this year has black spots on
its bones. That settles it; it is
going to be cold winter, and the
weather prophets figuring on this
inauspicious omen confidently
predict that the winter will last
until spring and be an extremely
cold one. With such an omen as
the one noted above and various
others which are found on all sides
not to mention the numerous FORE
casts of the so-ealled prophets,
and the fact that freezing seemed
to have set in much earlier than
usual, because we have not had a
real old-fashioned winter for some
years now, there is strong posi-
bility that the present season is to
be very severe one.
