The Train Not to Take On Passengers
Till the Word is Given ior Settlers to
Enter the Strip.
Other Regulations.
Washisgton, Sept. 13. Trains will
run through the Cherokee Strip on
Saturday next, so says Secretary
Smith.
Possibly nothing has been so pro
ductive of pro tents and petitions as
this one subject Tho contemplated
action on the part of the secretary
by way of stopping trains for a
time greatly annoyed many of those
who had hoped to get homes on the
strip, and who, with limited means
" of transportation, were placed at a
disadvantage. Many boomers and
strip associations and all sorts of so
cieties were wirin? for train service.
The leading men of Oklahoma and
many prominent men of Kansas had
asked for the same thing, and the
question had been presented as
strongly as possible W favor of train
service.
There were really very few who had
indicated that an abandonment of the
train service would be a god thing.
Governor Kenfrow, after hearing that
the secretary supported the idea, in
, eluded the recommendation in one of
his letters to the secretary. Aside
from the governor and some of the
fellows In the "sawbuck" gang who
have fast horses, no one has appeared
in favor of an abandonment of tho
train service.
After discussing the subject with
some of the officials of the department
the secretary stated that he had
reached the decision that he would ad
mit trains to the strip on the opening
day under certain conditions. For
twelvo hours before the opening no
trains would be admitted. Up to the
moment of opening to settlement the
roads would not be allowed to admit
passengers, but would have the coaches
empty but ready to start as soon after
noon us tho coaches could be filled
with passengers.
The trains were not to be run in the
usual way, so that anyone who had a
ticket could demand, under the law,
that tho railroad should carry him.
Hut it was to be a special service and
only those were to be carried on
trains who could show a certificate
entitling them to take land in the
strip, in order to be able to ride on
the administration train one should
have a ticket such as would satisfy the
railroad company for carrying him,
and then, in order to satisfy the
government, should also be provided
with a certificate from one of the
booths. The train would not only be
provided with the train Tew, but
willt United States marshals, who
would look after the matter of each
man and would make certain that
every wan on a train was supplied
with a certificate. In this way he
hoped to be able to keep back all
who were going into the country for
mere speculative purposes.
It was suggested to the secretary
by one of tho officials that this would
rule out all the people who wanted to
get into the townsites for the pur-
nose of getting a lot and going into
business. It is anticipated that there
will uo many on hnnd who were nn
ablo, from some cause, to gt eertifi
cates. They also want to get into the
country and go into business in town
and want to get there quick, liut
this class U to bo leU out and they are
forced to look io other means
for transportation. It Is required that
no train shall be run at a speed of
over fifteen tntlee au hour ami that
they fcttali stop every tire inite. This
rate of ed U supposed to keep the
trains tack with tUo horsemen. His
so ananiied that U will late at least

Men in the Gang.
$15,000 In Gold Overlooked, :
Kendallvillk, Ind., Sept. 13. Lake
Siiore express train No. 14, the New
York express, was held up and robbed
by twenty desperadoes at Kesler
siding, west of here and 140 miles
from Chicago, just after midnight this
morning, one express car blown, up
with dynamite, the safe blown open
and the engineer shot through the
shoulder' The robbers, according to
the best figures obtainable here from
train men, but denied, as usual, by
express officials, secured 8300.0J0, of
which 250,000 is said to have belong
ed to a Chicago bank and was being
sent to if ew York. ,
As the train was passing through a
stretch of timber land near the siding,
the engineer saw a red light ahead and
slowed up. As the red light drew
nearer the engineer saw the group of
men. In front of the light the nraln
came to a stop when a dozen men
sprang into the cab and leveled rifles
at the heads of the engineer and fire
man with the order "Throw up your
hands."
The fireman lifted his arms at once,
but the engineer with a cry of warn
ing on his lips turned toward the'
passenger coaches. A dozen rifles
were quickly turned toward the
plucky fellow and a dozen shots
startled the passengers who had been
awakened by the sudden stopping of
the cars. The engineer, Darned Knapp,
had one hand on the throttle aad at
tempted to start the train. One of the
desperadoes pushed a big revolver
against his shoulder and fired. The
bullet passed clear through, tearing a
hole in which a lead pencil could be
laid.
THE EXI'JtKSS CAR HI.OWX UP.
The next moment there was a ter
rific explosion. The robbers had put
dynamite under the train, and as the
stillness of the lonely place was
broken the express car cracked and
split and showed a huge gash in its
side.
Tho conductor and tho brakom.vn
hurried to the platform only to be
covered by Winchesters in tho hands
of men who said they Would shoot to
kill if a move were made. The rail
road men became motionless and
dumb. A guard was put at the end of
eacn car and the express car was at
kicked.
I he messenger behind his barri
caded door refused to obey tho com
mand of the robbers to open the car
door. Miot after snot was fired at tho
car but the robbers soon saw thev

Washington, Sept. 18. The disap
pearance ' of ' panicky , condition!
throughout the country, coupled with
what is now understood to bs the firm
purpose of the administration not lo
accept any compromise on the silver
purchase repeal question, has nerved
the ultra silver men In the scnato to
fight indefinitely rather than yield
without conditions. Had the flurry
continued the pressure of publlo opin
ion, so it Is reasoned, would have been
too great for them to withstand, but
now, with a pleasant "You see tho
Sherman law wai not responsible,"
they are getting in trim for a fight to
the death. , , . ..
As the case stands tho senate op
pears to be 1,000 miles away from a
vote; the repeal men are In a clear
majority; the silver men will not bo
able to hold half their anti-repeal
strength to filibustering purposes,
but it seems that there will then re
main enough of thcrn to frustrate any
attoraptto get a voto on a measure
carrying no recognition of silver. All
that could move them would be tho
pressure of tho public sentiment
That they profess to fear no longer
now that the tide of prosperity lias
set in again so strongly. If they
shall hold to their present purpose,
which strengthens daily, the country
will see the most notable leirlslative

The result of th drit day'i registra

was certiQcstas !uad in ten

night there wa seemingly . no
diminution of th line and enough
remained on the ground to give. the

four day. ' The force was increased
dur!ngthe day by two clerks and a
land office clerk was dlspatchod on
the evening train to Wichita for more
clerks.
'A feature of the registration I the
large number of women who stood in

and heat of the day. It will be ruin

Industry came into existence. Hoys had
gathered from hedges along the road
and in the fields with their arms fall
of branches and corn stalks which
they sold to tho boomers and soon all
along the line small campfires gleamed
and twinkled In the darkness. The
boomers tang songs and called to one
another in tho night. . Occasionally a
man would start the cry: "Hoka
Smith," with a long drawn, mournful
intonation which would be taken up
and flow along tho line with as many
different inflections as the human
voice Is capable of.
Many menhavobaen made seriously

and dust. The physicians say that
tho dust is causing more sickness than

organized a set of co umittees and ;
