At 2 o'clock this morning while Tal

the tore building. He dil not delay
In opening fire upon them and they
heat a hasty retreat, leaving their
tools behind, bat not without re
turning his fire. The north side of

but in the darkness the aim was
hiirh, ar.d there is no indication that
the robbers were hit.
W. E. Xorri.s, the watchman who
gained notoriety in the attempted
banK robbery last spring, is visiting

Dress Up!
t
No one loves a "flat" man.
To strangers, the only difference between you and the
beggar who asks for a dime is a shave and a suit of
clothes.
Your auto may be rusty your house may need painting
your garden may be weedy without great damage to
your standing. But when you, yourself, start looking
seedy you are headed down just as surely as tho you
fell down an elevater shaft.
"Dress Well and Succeed" is a nation wide call.
Fall in line get in tune with Prosperity.
We are supplying "Success Clothes."

'ON THE CORNER"
From Wednesday's Pally
I The older residents in Cass county
will recall the opening of the famous
: "Cherokee Strip" in Northwestern
Oklahoma which occurred in 1S93
! and many from here were there to
take advantage of the opening and
, at this time there are hundreds of
I former residents here who are living
i in that portion of the young state,
j Charles Taylor, a son of Mrs. V.
A. Taylor of this city, who was one
of the boys of thirty-one years ago
to make a dash over the Kansas line
'on September 15, 1S93. writes home
, to the mother .of the anniversary
iand in which he had a part, and feels
! that the change of the past few years
has been wonderful as his present
home at Waukomis, i3 in the heart
of the new country. The Daily Ok
lahoman in speaking of the anniver
sary has the following:
Today marks the thirty-first anni
versary of the opening of the Cher
okee Strip for settlement. In many
of the counties homesteaders and
old-timers will gather at county
seats and the larger cities for cele
bration and in some counties the
annual custom of staging a replica
of the run September 16, 1S93 will
be followed out. It is said that some
of the horses ridden into the strip
on the original run are still able to
be around.
The Kansas line was the north
ern and the upper line of "Old Ok
lahoma" was the southern boundary
of the strip. Before the opening
the prospective settlers were lined
up waiting for the signal which
would start the run. Arkansas
City, Kansas, was the headguarters
for the Iioomers who stayed there
all one summer waiting for the an
nouncement from Washington when
the opening would occur. The
largest stream of settlers started
just south of Arkansas City and
for three or four miles west.
On account of the thousands as
sembled at the line who tried to slip
in before the official opening the
guard made a formal report to
Washington. Hoke Smith, of Geor
gia, secretary of the interior at the
time, announced that If necessary a
fence would be built around the 200
by 60 mile Cherokee area before
opening and in fact a fence was
built, a human fence of densely
packed men on horseback and in
"prairie schooners" facing a line of
soldiers patrolling the border.
And when the signal shot was fi
nally fired the rush that followed
has gone down in history as one of
the most outstanding events in Okla
homa. The majority of the men rode
in on horses leaving the women and
children to follow in the heavier
buggies and covered wagons.
The opening, September 16, was
on Saturday and on the following
Monday the work of starting homes
was commenced. First many had K
thrash out contests over the right
for choice locations. The covered
wagon3 furnished temporary shel
ter for hundreds and within a week
the strip was dotted with frame
shacks, sod houses and dugouts.
The free homes bill passed by
congress put the settlers in good
Fhape and those who were able to
' hang on saw themselves grow in
! wealth by constant increasing value
of the land. Farms in the Cherokee
strip are now worth more than $100
an acre.
, The land was formerly left as a
passage way through which Indians
could travel to the western buffalo
hunting grounds between the strip
of "Old Oklahoma" which had been
bought by the government and Kansas.-
The United States government
paid the Cherokees $3,326,000. and
the Otoes and Pawnees $111,000 for
the right to throw the land open for
settlement. The Osages, Missouris,
Kaws, Poncas and Tonkawas that
lived in the state then now occu
pied allitments.
Secretary of the Interior Smith
then designated the county seats
and ordered that two-block public
squares be marked off in the center
of each townsite. A court for In-
, dian Territory was established
March 1, 18 69 by act of congress, the
territory under its jurisdiction ex
tending west to New Mexico. The
people's claim board organized to
settle all disputes was the first gov
ernment. The board devised plans
for holding elections and divided
' the territory into three districts. An
1 election was held in November 18S6
' at which time two representatives
j were elected from each district ex
i cept Beaver which elected four. The
' government was instituted the fol
lowing March.
