TODAY ANNIVERSARY
OF THE FAMOUS ..RUN.'
Fifteen Years Ago Today Thousands
of People Engaged in Mad Rush
for Oklahoma Lands.
Especial to The Sentinel. }

! Enid. Okla, Sept. 17.-Today is
| the fifteenth anniversary of the last
| big run" for Oklahoma lands. Never
again will such a scene be witnessed
as took place on that memorable
| Sunday, September, II. 1893. Two
I hundred thousand men and women
were in the Cherokee outlet by af-
I ternoon of the opening day, and in a
single night town of 10000 people
sprang up. In many respects this
last Oklahoma run was more re-
markable than the first. which took
| place in 1889.
On the night of the run the form
crly barren territory was alive with
weary, anxious people, all eagerly
seeking homes in the promised land
and some wild with the lust for land.
Thousands of camp fires glowed
along the path of the old Indian
hunting trail to the buffalo plains
of forgotten memory. In a single day
the white mans civilization over
powered and overwhelmed the do
main of the red man.
Before the run more than 75.-
600 men were massed along the
southern line of the strip alone, and
all the land office towns in Kansas
were packed with seething crowds
for days. An endless line of men
waited in procession back of the reg
istry windows. A man paid So five
different times for advances in his
place up the registry line. and at last
got within few PAGES of the window
after days of waiting Worn out by
exhaustion he dropped dead in the
line. The suffering of all these
thousands was extreme. The ther-
mometer stood 100 degrees in the
shade. Water was o cents a glass
and bread so cents loaf. Force was
the real law.
'Sooners'' were at their work for
days in advance, although the guard
was strict At the start a sooner"
ran across the line before the gun. A
soldier ordered him to halt, but he
went on. and the soldier killed him.
The mans partner killed the soldier.
Then came the starting gun, and wild
mobs swept over both corpses and
the matter was forgotten. In quar-
rels along the line before the start
three men were shot. Nineteen men
fell in the line, prostrated by the
heat. and three died. One young
woman went stark mad an acci-
dental shot killed one man in the
waiting line and many were so acci-
dentally wounded, for most were
armed.
Al one locality, ON the north line,
the crowd was more than 500 yards
deep in packed. struggling. cursing
| humanity and it reached east and
west as far as the eye could see. A
horse was worth 500 if it could
stand up. Some ran the race with
two horses tied together. shifting
from time to time.
An army of over 100000 started in
the vast, panic-stricken, motley herd
that Sunday afternoon in September
and roared away. scattering vaguely
in the distance. 1t left behind il
many dead bodies of horses, and
some of the men and women.

PARIS Cables.
The War of Words That Comes When
They Block Each Other.

There is no more entertaining way TO
spend an idle hour In Paris than to get
into taxicab and instruct the driver
to go along some street where you will
be reasonably sure TO get into jam or
TO bump against another cab. The
charm of the experience Is, of course,
enhanced by your ignorance OF what
the cabbies say.
Should your driver merely Craze the
wheels of another cab be will turn on
his seat and yell mellifuously at the
other driver, who in turn will shout
back an assortment OF vowels. But
the best is a quarrel between two cab
bies obstructing each others way,
The conversation, translated as nearly
literally as is safe, goes in this wise:
sacred namel Why do your
Holly blue! do notF'
Stomach on the groundl You have
the face Of an oxv'
blue stomach Are you In chainsY
"A bas! Name of dog"
"Mon Dieul Name Of pigv
Wow Tor words TO that effect!
Name OF name!"
"a thousand deathsl Name OF
name OF namei"
Now you begin to expect some do
ings While you have not fully I'M
derstood, you are satisfied that nothing
but pistols and knives will wipe out
the insults.
Unfortunately about this time the
jam Is untangled and you are allowed
to drive away, but the other driver
yells after yours:
aha! You are little piece Of
brown soap!'
1t seems that this expression is the
lighting name in Paris. Were It not
that your cabby owes duty to you
and must convey you to your destina-
ton you know by his facial express
sion that he would climb down and
get that other cabby and muss up the
city with him.
He contents himself with turning
about and making face In the direc-
ton of his enemy and Of going through
the motion of splitting at him.
Then he says ''Yoopr' to the horse,
and the war is over.--Chicsgo Post.

A Strange Coincidence.

One of the many odd circumstances
that are revealed from time to time
occurred at the camp ground in New
Haven a few days ago. Seven years ago
Miss Edith M Balch Of Burlington
superintendent of the home department
Of the Vermont Sunday school asso-
citation, lost small gold cross on the
camp grounds when she was attending
the meeting. She was present again
last week for the first time since. and
was very much surprised at one of the
sessions when the presiding officer an.
nounced that gold cross had been
found that morning on the grounds.
The cross was pinned against the black
coat Of the chairman and, from her scat
in the audience, Miss Balch recognized
it as hers.
The cross was picked up in the path
lepding to the chapel, and had been
passed and repassed by hundreds Of
PEOPLE each year since 1t was lost.
