From the New York
Times
There was a steady movement all night, and
then it happened that when the 10 o’clock train on the Santa Fe had crossed the Arkansas and
mounted the divide the passengers were treated to a sight of a seemingly endless procession of
white-capped wagons moving rapidly along the trail which parallels the railroad to Guthrie and
beyond.
As far as the eye could reach, looking north and south, the
level, green plain was dotted with wagons, horses, and men. There were a dozen Otoe Indians on the
train en route to their reservation and they looked with anything but kindly eyes on the panorama. .
. .
The train which took its leisurely flight southward through the
Indian Territory today was composed of five coaches, each comfortably filled with boomers who had
apparently reached the conclusion that their chances of securing quarter sections in the promised
land would be greatly improved if they went to Purcell and entered the army of Texans now camped
there on the banks of the Canadian. . . .
