The weather so far has favored the would-be settlers, who are exceptionally cheerful and apparently com- fortable in their crude schooners and shan- ties. But 550 of the thousands who desire to take up claims can possibly be satisfied and some predict a most sensational run and lots of trouble, while others say dis- couragement will prevent a great proportion of the waiters from going in at all, except as sightseers. Already there is a line of weary waiters before the land offices, who took ‘up their positions when the issuing of the president's proclamation was first made public A new scheme has been invented to de- celve settlers. Sooners have gone upon the land and planted fraudulent stakes, purport- ing to tell that the particular section is an allotment or school section, to cause honest homeseeekers to go past it for open land further on. Then the planter of the stakes will follow leisurely, pull them up and use them to cook his coffee with Thursday night on the site of a carefully chosen and un- lawfully gotten claim. Chandler, situated three miles from the northeastern corner, and Tecumseh, the same distance from the southern point of the reservation, both good county seat towns, will be the greatest start- ing points. Ingram and Garnettsville, on the north side, Choctaw City, on the west, and Clifton and Shawnee, on the eastern line, will also be starting points. Wellston, in the northeastern part of the reservation, and Douglas City, situated near the center, both old Indian poiuts, are the only prospective townsites as’yet, but there will be undoubt- | edly others. et s DAY OF THE MEMPHIS DRILL Troops Reviewed by Lleutenant General Netofield This Afternoon. MEMPHIS, May 20.—This, the last day but one of the interstate drill and encampment, was kuown as “Athletic day,” because the whole forenoon was consumed by contests in which representatives of the principal &outh- ern athletic organizations competed for prizes At 2 p. m. a concert was given by the lowa State band, and at 2:30 p. m.

This will be General chofield’s final inspection befcre retiring from command of the army. Some feeling has been created here by a special from this city to the Washington Post, in which it is stated that th given Captain Domer of the Feneib was a page short, which caused the company to fail to complete the exercises. This is stated as coming from Captain Domer. It Is also intimated that there will be trouble and possibly litigation over the Galveston cup now held by the Fencibles in case should be won by the Seeleys in the compe- tition for it, there belng no objection to the Seeleys entering into the contest. Captain Domer denies absolutely that he said the program given to him was short, and he also states that there will be no trouble about the cup. If the Seeleys win it, he sald, they can take it 50 far as he is concerned. Tomorrow will be the livellest ‘'get away day' Montgomery park has seen in many a day.
