Evanston, Wyo., January 1.-The rush
for claims in the Uintah oil fields con-
tinues and from the present outlook not
more than a week will elapse before the
locating will have been completed. So
far as known there has been no blood
shed, although shots were exchanged in
many cases. Fires, marking the cor
ners of claims, were lighted by the thou
sands last night and these together
with hundreds of locators camped near
them, presented the appearance Of a
bivouac at war.
Colonel Ketcham at the head of
twelve cowboys, well armed and mount
ed, carried the Aspen country by storm
last night. At midnight they rode for
ward down the section lines setting
stakes as they came to the corners AS
the first stakes were being driven, they
were greeted by a Vol'ey Of gunShots
from opposing lo%cators. but the bullets
all went wide of their marks. Swing
ing to their saddles. the party darted
forward, nor did they cease until they
had located every section open for filing
Then, retracing their way, they found
that the opposing parties had in many
cases pulled their stakes and burned
them. These were replaced and the
triumphant party returned to their
claims on record.
In the Spring Valley country there
were fist fights on every sid but up to
this time not one locator in ten has re-
turned and the next few hours may
bring news of more serious conflicts.
