Fifteen Days Ago Yesterday
Oklahoma Was Opened
to Settlers

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 sun
day, September II, 1893. Two hun
dred thousand men and women were
in the Cherokee outlet by afternoon
of the opening day, and in a single
night a town of 10000 people sprang
up. In many respects this last Okla
homa run" was more remarkable
than the first, which took place in 1883.
On the night of the run the former
~ 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 forgot
ten memory. In a single day the
white mans civilization oyerpowered
and overwhelmed the domain of the
red man.
Before the run, more than 10000
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 pro-
eession back of the registry windows.
a man paid IS five different times
for advances in his place up the regis
try line, and at last got within a few
PAGES of the window, after days OF
waiting. Worn out by exhaustion he
dropped dead in the line. The suffer
ing of all these thousands was ex.

ine and many were also accidentally
wounded, for most were armed.
