Evanston Stampede
To the Oil Lands Re-opened for
Filing Purposes.
ORIGINAL .LOCATORS
Are Armed and Prepared to
Defend Their Claims.
Outlook Is Excellent For q
Bloody Fight.

Salt Lake City. Jan. IA special to
the Tribune from Evanston, Wyo., says:
This coming of the new year promises
to bring to Uintah county scenes of ex-
element never before equalled in the
history OF wyoming. Plans have been
made to gobble up every foot of oil land
which has not been already. protected by.
the required assessment work UP to a
few days ago it was believed that prac.
tically all the land would be thus pro-
tected, but closer investigation
shows that at least one third of the oil
field. or an area Of 500 square miles. is
now open for ref11ing. 1t is evident that
the intention of the original locators is
to protect their rights by the use OF
fire arms if occasion requires.
Evanston has been practically divest-
ed OF its male population and nearly all
places of business have been closed, the
men having stationed themselves
throughout the oil belt for the purpose
of driving their claim stakes with the
dawn of the new year. All went fully
armed with Winchesters and shotguns
and bloodshed may follow.

ranged at times. but this is to be but
incidental. and but one of the links in
the chain Of events the defense will en-
deavor to prove.
