Bullet and Torch Add Color to Life in
Oklahoma.
(By the Associated Press. J


Guthrie, o. T., Aug. 30.-The war be-
tween the cattlemen and farmers in
Western Oklahoma continues INCREASINGLY.
Information comes direct from Rogers
Mills, Day and Dewey counties, of the
destruction of crops, burning of cribs and
grain and killing of stock and ambushing
and shooting by both farmers and cattle
men.
The situation has been made more Sc
rious by the driving in of large herds of
cattle from the. Texas Panhandle by cat
tlemen who have run short of grass at
home. The homesteaders fear a further
menace to their claims and allege they
have no protection.
Serious trouble is anticipated, the cat
tlemen asserting the land belongs 20
them by priority of possession and they
will fight the encroachment by the home
steaders.

But that afternoon I had business

ginning OF this story. which occupied
part OF a dreadfully Uttered little Pc
ninsula formed by a curve Of the
stream. More than one OF its walls
had fallen. but I had particularly no.

wondered at one wall which lay as
fiat as the walls Of Jericho: il seemed
from the public side OF the stream to
cohere as completely as when it had
been standing, except at its outer
edges where the bricks were Broken
and dislocated. This I suspected was
the wall; and I was resolved 10 visit
It to see whether I could make sure
nv suspicion was correct.
To get to the mill I had to pass
round TO the head Of the peninsula r.
wondered whether Steinhardt had
taken that route on his journey with
his horrible burden, or whether he
had boldly forded the stream opposite
one Of the side gates 10 the grounds
OF his works.. This led me between
two old rattling mills OF some sort.
past piles Of lumber-broken wagons
and fragments Of old machinery rust

sites, constructed OF old boards and
old sacks. I had to pick my way very
carefully, for it was beset with gul-
lies and holes worn out By rain tor
rents, and with entertainments Of Gin
ders and "clinkers." At length
came out upon the open space round
the mill. l approached the wall with
shuddering but fascinated sense. In
the middle OF IL. toward the edge
which had been the top, was q bolted
iron plate, answering exactly to the
requirements Of Fraulein Haas's Wis
ion.

part Of the wall, near its base. which
