PROSPECTIVE SETTLERS DISGUSTED.
They Have Found That but Little Land OF
Value Is Left in the Reservation.

Guthrie. o. r., May 2l.-(Special.) The
prospective settlers of the Kickapoo coun-
try who arrived by the hundreds to-day.
We're utterly dsgusted when they got time
TO read the proclamation and schedules
and learned that there was so little good
land left for settlers. Every bit of the
rich, timbered bottom of the Deep Fork Is
reserved for school land except the frac-
tonal sections which are given by law to
the settlers holding the other part of the
fraction in the settled country across the
river. All of the fine land on Ouapaw
creek is also taken by the school depart
ment; in fact, there is only a small frac-
tional township in the whole Guthrie dis
trct left open for settlers. Nearly all of
the good townsites are also on school lands
and therefore not available. and the town

quarter sections along the Canadian river

that the, settlers will be hemmed in on
every side by Indians, and the Kickapoos
are the most inveterate thieves in exist
ence. The line at the land office has not
grown here any to-day and the boomers
are all leaving for the line tonight, the
majority having decided to go around TO

mode of shutting off competition has
caused much hard feeling and will likely

Indian reservation, and the promoters of
the road will be at liberty to build wher-
ever they wish.

LA GASCOGNE AGAIN OVERDUE.
The Big French steamer With 500 Passen-
gers Is Two Days Behind.

Paris, May 2l.-Inquiries made at the Of
fees of the Compasne Generate Trans
Atlantique show La Gascogne. which
sailed from Hdvre for New York on May
Ii, and which is now about two days late,
had on board ninety-iive saloon passen-
gers and 400 steeraEe passengers. The Of
ncals of the French line are not i'm any
way alarmed at the fact that La Gascogne
has not arrived on time. In spite Of this
fact, friends and relatives of the passen-
gers, after hearing that the steamer was
late IN arriving at New York, began maxi
ing inquiries at the office of the company
But they We're reassured by the Cumpany's
officers, who reminded them of the previous
experience of the steamship, assuring all
heard from and that there is absolutely no
cause for alarm.

Mnsgioli Playing Great Game.

Last nights game at the Brunswick.
was very interesting. Maggiolo got the
balls on the rail in the third inning and
kept them there until 800 was counted and
the game won. quite an interest is being
taken as to Maggiol being able to make
his 100 or no count, and 1000 or no count.
The interest is such that it is almost i'm
possible to get standing room. In the after
noon the li-inCh balk line game was good,
Maggioli making such runs as 81, - and &c.
Tonight it will be 500 or no count. These
games are being played on 5XiO table.

4 very remarkable story comes to Ms
from Berlin. Two storks built nest

owner OF which. finding an egg In the
nest, took II and put a goose's egg In
It's place The female stork Matched
the ogg. much TO the anger OF her COM
panion, which circlod three or four
times around the nest and then few
away
For some days the female stork fed
the young goose aud all went well until
the morning OF the fourth day. when
the inmates OF the house were dis
turbed by loud clamorlng. This noise
proceeded from nearly 400 birds. which
were otandlng In a compact body. ap-
perontly listening to the hnrnngue OF a
solitary stork standing some twenty
yards on. After q short time he re-
tired and another took his place and
addressed the court. and In this way
the proceedings continued until about
IL In the forenoon. Then the whole
court rose simultaneously In the air
ana gave forth shouts.
All this time the female stork was sit-
ting In tho uost trembling with fear.
which perhaps was not altogether un-
warranted, for suddenly the whole COM
pany OF storls flew toward her headed
by ono. presumably the injured hus-
band; he struck her violently three or
four times, knocked her out OF the nest
ana then killed her. lie next turned his
attention to the unhappy gosllng. which
he likewise killed; after which the nest
was destroyed and the stCrks ilew away,
no doubt perfectly satisfied In their own
minds that the law had been ylndlcat-
