RUSH CONTINUES.
A Few Fights but No BlOodshed
In Wyoming Gil Fields.

Salt Lake, EJtah, Jan. IA special
to the Tribune from Evanston, Wyo.,
says. The rush for claims in the Uina-
ia oil fields still continues and from
the present outlook more than a week
will elapse before the locating will have
has been no bloodshed, although shots
were exchanged in many cases.
Up to midnight last night a person
would well imagine himself in the
heart of a hostile country. Fires, mark
ing the corners of claims were lighted
by the thousands and these together
with hundreds of locat0rs camped near
them reminded one of a bivonac at
war.
Col Ketchum, at the head of u des-
perate cowboys, well armed and
mounted, carried the Aspen country
by storm. At midnight they rode for
ward down the section lines setting
stakes as they came to the corners. AS
the flrst stakes We're being driven they
were greeted by volley of gunshots
from opposing IOcators, but the bullets
all went wild of their marks.
Swinging to their saddles the party
darted forward nor did they cease until
they had located every section open for
fling. Then. retracing their way. they
found that the opposing parties had in
burned them. These were replaced and
the triumphant party returned to file
their claims on record in the Spring
Valley country there We're fist fights on
the use Of firearms as far as known
but uD to this time not one locator IN
ten has returned, and the next few
hours may bring stories Of conflicts.
The whole oil field is the scene of in
tense excitement. and it is not believed
the trouble can pass without bloodshed,
as a feeling of deadly hate has existeo
between the lOcatOrs for some time.

diately made for Aolofai channel to in
vestigate whether or not the buoy had
weathered the bnffeting TO which it had
been subjected for nearly three days.
Some anxiety was expressed lest it had
been overwhelmed and allowed the line
attached to the end Of the strand to
carry away. Fortunately, however, nc
such disaster had occurred. The buoy
was riding in safety. but the I77afked
buoy which had been dropped near it on
Friday morning. December 26 had dis
appeared. The seas were running even
higher than three days previous. The
wind continued 10 blow half a gale from
the northwest. No boat necessary in
the picking up of the buoy could have
survived and no thought was given to
making the attempt at this time. Anoth-
ed marked buoy was put down some dis
Iance away and the S1lyertOWn returned
to Honolulu harbor and anchored off
shore. 1t was agreed between Captain
Martin and Chief Gable Engineer BenesF
that no further work would be attempt
ed until he seas calmeG. The wind
showed no signs of abating till Tuesday,
and the big steamer made no move.
Wednesday was passed in idleness, with
little wind and for a time it was thought
advisable to make an attempt to COM
plete the work It was finally decided
however, no to risk the chance of lift
ing the cables from the bottom of the
sea IN any except calm weather 1t was
reasoned that another Gay would see
/ trades, the duration Of which surprised
even the Oldest residents of Honolulu.
On Thursday the first day of the
4 New Year, scarcely a breeze stirred the
waters of the harbor. and advice came
to the ship from Diamond Head light
1 house that the channel was quite calm,
with only moderate swell running.
A few minutes after O'Clock in the
morning the Silvertown heaved anchor
and made a start down the bay. Pro-
/ spects of the cable connection on the
first day of the New Year created in
tense interest in the city, where the
1 enthusiasm had been somewhat dulled
by the long delay.
At daylight the Si1vegtown arrived
/ off Koko Head where the shore end
had been buoyed since Monday With
little difficulty the line from the bot
tom was spliced upon deck and passed
over the stern sheaves and a start was
made for the outer buoy. The cable
was paid out at the rate of seven knots
an hour Shortly after o'clock in the
afternoon the Silvertown reached the
point where the San Francisco end was
buOyed. The sea was not rough, but
the swell rolled the vessel considerable.
Great care was taken in handling her
while taking up the buoy. 1t was hnal-
ly accomplished at 3:34 o'clock without
untoward incident. The connection
with the testing room was quickly
promptly to the call, thus relieving the
public mind on the continent. which
must have regarded the long silence OF
the ship as strange, If not Ominous
Congratulations and compliments OF
the season passed between the ship
and San Francisco and the shore con-
nection was then made at 4:40 o'clock
