The Grand Rush for Homes.

ARKANSAS Cry, KAs., Sept. 17.-At
high noon yesterday the title to almost
the last section Of the public domain
that will be thrown open to general set
tlement, was transferred from the Gov
ernment of the United States to the
boomers. At IL o'clock the signal for
the grand rush was given and the 100
600 persons gathered. upon the boundar-
les of the Cherokee Strip rushed over
the line aud into the coveted land.
After the line was crossed men and
wagons could be seen scattering as the
slowest were left behind. Along the
railway tracts boomer trains loaded to
the guards with town siters, were seen
to be creeping along at a snail's pace,
it seemed to the anxious passengers,
while thousands of feet animals were
ontstrpping the trains which were
handicapped by being forbidden to ex-
ceed Is miles an hour. AS trains pulled
into a town site or county seat, they
were disgorged of their loads, ana the
town siters swarmed over the land like
an army.

utes before was nothing but surveyed

became a populous community. In.
Vulnerable disputes, many alterations,
and some fights took place. There were
no officers of the law to in terfere, SO
the lighters fought it out until one was
incapacitated, while the other captured
the prize. Immediately when lot WAS
claimed stakes were driven, in some
cases tents erected, and, in few in
stances town meetings were held, off,
GERS elected, and before it SCENE pos.
sible, municipality had sprung into
existence.
In the run from this city, the cow
boys on their sturdy ponies took the
lead in the great race. They had gone
but short distance when they spread
out and over the prairie and dismount-
ing, set fire to the thick prairie grass,
hoping thus to turn aside those who
we're following. Fires spread rapidly
at first, but as the wind WAS blowing
from the north the flames were stopped
by deep gully which runs parallel
with the Cherokee line, three miles to
the south. No damage was done by
the fires as far as known farther than
destroying the grass and impeding the
racers.
In the race many men were injured
and some killed. Of the latter some
met death by accident and two were
murdered. Many dead horses are to be
seen on the prairie. Some died of over
exertion, some were killed by falling in
the race, and others having broken legs
were shot by the owners.
Perry, the county seat of o county,
fell into the hands Of sooners. Twelve
minutes past noon a party of20o horse
men rode into the site which is 8 miles
inside the Strip, from the direction of
Flint Hill and occupied the choicest
lots. 1t is certain that they were SOON
ers who had been hiding in the flint
hills.
The Cherokee Strip, comprising 6 :
3SS $50 acres, lies in the northwest cor
ner of the Indian Territory. Its north
ern boundary is the Kansas line, and
its southern boundary parallels its
northern line, giving it width of 81
miles and a length varying from 1877 to
210 miles. 1t became part of Oklaho-
ma Territory when the President issued
his proclamation and is now under it's
laws.

Y0UNGBL0oD AND HULSEY.
TWO pERPERADoEs ESCORTED THROUGH
GREEN FOREST FRIDAY.
The Grand Rush for Homes in the Cherokee Strip
Last Saturday Afternoon.

Gfeen foTest FRIDAY on their return
with Jim Youngblood and Will Hulsey,
the robbers of Thornton's store at
Shaver. a few weeks ago.
They stopped in town several minutes,
during which time considerable crowd
of curious spectators gathered about
the hack.
Hulsey has many acquain tances here
as we'll as some relatives, and he
took pleasure in showing them the
wounds he received in his capture. He
got eleven bullets, three of them being
wounds either one of which would have
killed an ordinary person; one was a
buckshot, just above the heart, lodging
under his right shoulder blade; another
in the right breast, lodging in his back;
the other in the left side, lodging above
the right hip. The other shots, while
not 80 dangerous, were by no means
slight. One shotin the groin made a
severe wound, while his right arm was
badly lascerated with bullets.
Youngblood had no exhibitions to
make, nor much to say. His worst
wounds were in his legs, but have not
healed as we'll as Hulsey's. He is in
the worst condition of the two.
The Sheriff says they have been prac-
tically no trouble to him on his return.
He had them we'll shackled, and he and
Mr.. Cotton presided over them with a
pair of navys and Winchester.
The crime for which these two boys
are to answer was one of the boldest
robberies ever committed in this coun-
try. 1t was in broad day light that
they walked into Bob Thornton's store
with Winchesters drawn and demand
ed of the clerk what money was in the
house. About $50 was turned over to
them, and after taking small amount
of merchandise they took to the woods.
1t is evident that they expected to
make a much larger haul than they
did. 1t was known that Thornton had
on hand few days before the robbery
nearly $1,000 cash in his safe, but the
day the robbery was perpetrated he had
gone to Harrison to make a deposit
with the bank of about that amount.
They were captured on the 18th OF
August by Sheriff Eoff and posse OF
men at Winslow on the Frisco railroad
in Washington county, after fierce
fight in which the bandits were wonded
as above described. They were then
taken to Fayetteville and lodged in jail
as they were unable to be carried furth-
er. It was then thought there was nc
chance for Hulsey's recovery.
None of the posse that effected the
capture were hurt. Hulsey explained
this by saying that the shots which
struck his arm rendered it useless to
him, or he would have killed some o1
them.
The officers lodged them safe in jail
at Harrison on Friday night.
