SETTLERS BUNCOEO.
Such Is the Evidence Of tho Opening
of the GAO Aero Nebraska
Homesteads.

Lincoln. Neb., June 30.-Reports re-
reived here from the office towns in
Nebraska where entries are being re-
ceived for the 640-acre homesteads un-
der the kinkaid act, indicate that a bis
rush is on. At O'Neill, Alliance and
Sidney lines We're formed last evening.
and all night men and women sat wait
ing for the offices to open. at 9 o'clock
this morning.
The work of entering was so slow
that 1t will take Il week to handle the
business. Signed tickets emitting per-
sons to their turns were issued. Most
of the applicants are reported to be
women, and this is taken to mean that
they are there for the purpose of later
passing title on to the cattlemen who
now occupy the land. Considerable
discomfort. owing to the cold, was suf-
fered by the waiting ones. Blankets
were rented to them by enterprising
citizens at % cents for the night. For
tune tellers relieved the monotony by
plying their trade.
Development Is No Surprise.
The Kinkaid act passed the last con-
gress. and applies to about 1.400. 900
acres of lands in the Fifth and Sixth
congressional districts Of Nebraska.
These lands have never been taken by
homesteaders because they are not
worth enough in 16O-acre tracts TO
warrant farmers in trying to use
them. But 1t was argued that as graz
ing and they would be worth enough
to warrant people in taking 640-acrc
tracts and using them for cattle. For
some time it has been suspected that
the cattle kings who for years have
used the lands. and fenced immense
tracts will, no right whatever. had
turned a trick in the Kinkaid bill, by
which they expected to secure the
lands. 1t now appears that they have
accomplished this. a meeting of small
cattlemen Il fortnight ago at Crawford
denounced the measure and expressed
the belief that the bill was merely a
plan to help the big cattleinen get title
TO the lands
Militia Ordered Out.
Governor Mickey has ordered the
company of militia at Broken Bow to
be held in readiness under arms and II
there is an outbreak among the thou
sands who have gathered for the OPEN
ing for homesteads under the new Kin
kaid land law the National Guard Will
be put into action at once. The trouble
arises from the fact that the cattle
barons have sent cowboys to file on
