The Cherokee Boomers.

ARKANSAS CITY, Kas., Jan. 3.-The
Cherokee strip boomers are about to
commence new crusade under the lead
ership of "Pawuee Bill" a noted border
character, who sustains the same relation
to the Cherokee boomers that Capt
Crouch sustained to the Oklahoma boom
ers. The new crusade contemplates a
test of the claim of both the Indians and
the government to title in the lands. A
boomer will be sent into the strip to
claim 100 acres of land. He will erect a
honse, break the land and put in crop.
Efforts by the government to eject him
will be resisted by injunctson from the
courts, and in that way the case will be
heard upon its merits and the title def
nitely determined. In the meantime a
rush of boomers into the strip is heing
arranged for, to take place about Febru-
ary1.

pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all it's stages, and
that is Catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure
