AIIKANSAS CITT , ICan. , Aug. 30. Thcro Is likely to bo trouble ever the Chorokco allot ments after the Strip opens. When the al lotments were made the Cherokees picked them near projected county seats. The lo cation of county scats was then changed by the department to circumvent , them. The proclamation states that the allotments shall DO inado only on lands on which per manent Improvements have boon made , with the exception of Chief Bushyhead , who was permitted to pick his allotment where ho chose. The allotments already amount to over seventy and there are still other claim ants who will have to go into court to settle their rights. The allotments have not been made on lands on which thcro are perma nent Improvements , nnd as they will inter fere seriously with a number of townslte schemes , they will bo contested. The state of affairs on the Slrlt ) iu reference to allot ments , registering and soonors Is In bad shape and is pomp to cause no end of trouble ln the land oillcos after the Strip Is opened. Scheme * of the Moonvra. The sooner question Is very serious. A cattleman who rode through the Strip yes terday from Oklahoma says there nro thousands of soonors all along the eastern border. Ho saw hundreds of them who did not try to lili'.o nnd he saw their hiding places out on the open prairie. They bavo gopher holes on many of the townsltos. These are holes covered with boards , ever which sods nro nailed , and finished with a brcathim : hole. The draws and woods are full of them. Ho states that the cavalry would not be able to discover them. Thcro is a body of men organized hero who have exhausted tholr rights lo enter and lands , who openly declare that they will enter the Strip , locate and demand rollmiuishmcnt money from the contending seniors. The sooner question is more serious than at the Oklahoma opening , und as thu honest seltlers are very determined to have their rights bloodshed is sure to ensue. Klllutl While Training. Last evening a party of young men were training their horses on the Arkansas river road when a largo horse ridden b.v a young man from Indiana by the name of Morgan collided with another horse. Ho > vas thrown down , and six other horses and riders coin ing behind piled up on him Morgan was killed almost instantly. Two burses in the lot had brolten logs and wore shot. Thcro will only bo four postofllcos on the Strip at the time of opening , ono at each of the laud oflices. but others at county seats and now towns will bo needed immedialely and will have to bo established , as iu most of thu towns business will commence fifteen minutes after settlement. AllcoVns ArrnntuU. Alice Scales was arrested by Detectives Savage and Dempsey yesterday on the charge of grand larceny. The young woman has been boarding r.t 702 North Sixteenth street nnd claimed to bo working for the Western Uniou Telegraph company. Uocently a fine gold watch and ring was missed from the boarding house where the woman was boarding. The property was re covered nt.il Douglas street pawn shop and the pawnbroker described the person who pawned the articles as being the accused. iilCKAPOO INDIAN SAGWA Why it is The Safest Liver and Stomach Remedy Known , Indians Have No Knowledge ot Mineral Drugs and Poisons They Cure With Roots and Herbs of the Field and Forest.
