The Rush TO the Strip.
ARKANSAS CITY, Ark, Sept. 12.-
When the Cherokee strip register
ing booths were opened this morn
ing there was a terrible crush.
Those in the rear seemed to think
that pushing from behind would
expedite business at the front. On
the contrary, it only impeded
work. Four more clerks were add
ed to the working force, and many
more certificates were issued than
yesterday. The total today reached
$500. Many homeseekers, despair
ing of obtaining certificates, have
departed for Orlando, just over the
south boundary of the strip. Yes
terday 1925 certificates were issued
there. The line in front of the
booths held its place all night.
Men, women and children, negroes
and Indians were packed In COM
mon mass. Today a system OF
numbering the persons in line was
adopted, and those having mum
bers were allowed to go and come
at will. This proved great con-
venience. At Saltwater, twenty
miles east of Orlando, 1000 certl
ficates were issued yesterday ano
about the same number today
Many more people are waiting a
both places. The scarcity OF waite
and intense heat have caused TIT
death of several children.
