RELINQUISHED HIS CLAIM.
A Story of the Oklahoma Boom.
BY J. H. RICHIE.
In the settlement of our Western
‘States and Territories, that personage
familiarly known among the settlers as
a claim jumper has never been very
popular among his neighbors. But my
experience with the Claim-Jumper was
quite different from the usual experi-
ences of those who have met with
them in contesting the right to a claim
on the broad prairies of the West.
Having been engaged in farming in
an astern State, I sold my effects for
a few hundred dollars, and some time
before the 22d of April, a day memora-
ble in the history of Oklahoma Terri-
tory,I set outan horse-back for the Indian
Territory and arrived on the border of
Oklahoma several days before the time
set for the opening of the lands.
Selecting a camping place in a cot-
ton-wood grove on the banks of a small
stream that enters the northern border
of Oklahoma, I pitched the littie tent I
had brought along, and went into camp
to wait the time when that great strug-
gle to get possession of a quarter sec-
tion of land should take place, and in
which thousands of hardy pioneers were
doomed to disappointment by finding
themselves a little too late. As soon
as I had placed my camp in proper or-
der, and partaken of a lunch. of dried
beef, cheese and crackers, Isetout afoot
ap the creek to see if I could discover
any other campers. About two hun-
dred yards from my camp, a ravine
came down to the creek, and as I went
down into it, I saw a covered wagon
and carriage just a short distance above
me. Seeing several men and women
around the camp, I concluded to walk
up there and have a chat with them.
The party consisted of an old lady and
gentleman and their two sons and a
daughter, who was apparently about
22 years old. I found the family to be
very intelligent and far above the aver-
age “Boomers” in point of traveling
equipment. After remaining at the
camp some time the men folks had oc-
casion to leave to lariat their ponies on
the grass, and obeying the old man’s
injunction to remain until their return,
I engaged in a conversation with the
daughter, whom 1 found to be very in-
telligent, and possessing a face that for
beauty I thought I had never seen the
equal. Although I had arrived at an
age at which bachelors are generally
supposed to be impervious to cupid’s
darts, I had to confess to myself before
T had remained an bour that I was
desperately in love with the black-eyed
beauty, and I was well satisfied that
my feelings toward her were reciproca-
ted. In fact it was another case of
love at first sight, and I went back to
camp that evening feeling that life had
a new charm for me. It had been my
intention to camp very near the line of
Oklahoma, and I supposed that I was
on the outside of the dead line. The
next day, April 21st, rambled up the
creek a few miles in quest of game, and
discovered several camps of “Boomers”
making active preparations for the final
race to occur on the morrow. It was
my intention to visit the camp of my
new acquaintances again that evening,
but upon arriving at my camp I found
that my pony had broken his lariat
rope and ran away. Fearing that the
22d might find me without a horse to
make the race, by which I hoped to
secure one of those beautiful home-
steads which is always eupposed to be
just a little way ahead, I set out in hot
pursuit of my pony, and succeeded in
finding him some four or five miles
away from camp. In my haste to find
my pony I had taken no note of the di-
rection 1 had taken,only following the
pony’s trail through the tall grass, and
at sun-set,which occurred before I had
gone more than a mile from where I
bad found the pony, I suddenly real-
ized that I was horelessly lost. Re:
solved, however, to get back to camp, 1
traveled around for several hours, but
finally had to give it up for that night
and after tying my pony to a shrub on
the bank of a ravine, I lay down on
the grass to await the coming of day-
light. Itis needless to say that I slept
but very little that night, and that little
time which Idid sleep was disturbed by
dreams of a pair of black eyes and the
sound of a bewitching voice which, on
account of the events of the morrow,
I might never have the pleasure of
hearing again. Morning came, and I
awoke and mounted my pony and rode
rapidly in the direction of a fringe of
timber that I kuew bordered the banks
of the creek on which I had first pitch-
ed my camp to wait the coming hour
for starting. Although it had been un-
intentional on my part, yet the fact
that I had actually been in Oklahoma,
after the President's proclamation, and
before the 22d, gave me no little uneasi-
ness; but I decided to run my chances
and possibly the land department
would, under the peculiar circumstan-
ces under which I labored, grant me
exemption from the operation of that
section of the law that prevented a per-
son acquiring title to lands in Oklaho-
ma who entered that territory aiter
jumper of my prior claim
TEER TSE tor Ap ee
| dreams of peace were not long to re-
i main undisturbed.
About a week after I had located
my claim a young man came riding up
in front of my tent, and after a friendly
greeting he inquired of me if I was not
the man who had lost a pony and had
| crossed the lineinto Oklaboma before
the 22d while hunting it. I was, as_it
were, thunderstruck by these remarks,
but before I could reply he resumed:
“J was satisfied you were the man
when I saw that black pony of yours
and you are very unlucky, for some-
body will be sure to jump your claim
and you will be sure to lose it.”
Fearing that this might be his er
rand now, I asked him if he had been
lucky enough to secure a claim, to
which he replied he had. Then I told
him I really was the person referred to,
but that I hoped to come out all right
when the land department was made
acquainted with the circumstances.
After talking a little while longer he
mounted his horse, saying that he was
going to Guthrie to file on his claim. 1
had located my tent on the north side
of the claim, which ran down to the
creek, forming quite a little bottom, or
valley, which was covered with a
growth of young timber. For several
days I did not go out on the prairie, be-
ing busily engaged in cutting poles and
constructing a rude cabin, but one day,
concluding that I would need a stock of
supplies, I started to Guthrie to do
some trading. On my return, two days
after, I discovered, to my surprise, that
my claim had been jumped, for in my
absence a small pole cabin had been
built on the south end of my claim. I
rode up to the door of the cabin, which
was closed, and after knocking and
getting no response, I pushed the dcor
open, and, looking in, was surprised to
notice how neat everything was. “Evi-
dently,” said I to myself, “this person
must be a person of considerable refine-
ment, considering the array of toilet
articles to be seen. I closed the door
and stood thinking for a while, and
finally it occurred to me that the per-
gon who built the cabin might not have
been aware that I occupied the quarter
section, as my camp was at a very iso-
lated place, and I concluded to post a
notice on the door, informing the claim
to that par-
ticular quarter section. This done I
rode to my camp toawait developments.
I did not go back for several days to
gee if my contestant had relinquished
the claim he had jumped, or not, but
having business that called me to
Guthrie, I went there again. TI finished
my business,and to my surprise I found
on returning, the following notice writ-
ten in a delicate hand, posted on my
door.
To the person who built this cabin :
“Do you not know, sir, that the fact, which
1 can prove, that you were in Oklahoma before
the 22d debars you from acquiring a title to
this claim? If you do not you should read the
President's proclamation. Ihave come to stay.
and you may as well vacate for I mean to hold
this claim.”
(Signed)
“THE PARTY LOCATED ON THE SOUTH SIDE.”
This was all there was of it. No
person’s name was attached, but it was
enough to make my blood boil, and I
decided to use more stringent measures
to oust the Claim Jumper. Accordingly
I rode over to the cabin next night,and
finding it empty I proceeded to tear it
down, scattering the logs in every di-
rection. Then I went back to camp,
and busied myself all day at work dig-
ging a well. On the following day,
concluding that it might be well to see
if any attempt had heen made to re-
build the cabin, I went out on the prai-
rie to reconnoiter. Sure enough there
was the cabin rebuilt. I began to think
that the Claim Jumper was at least a
determined person, and intended to
make his word good as stated in the
note on my door. Being equally de-
termined I decided on a regular cam-
paign which I intended to keep up all
gummer. So back to my own cabin I
went, and arming myself with a Win-
chester rifle and an axe, I set out for
the cabin on the south side, determined
to demolish it or die in the attempt. As
I came in sight of the cabin I
barely got a glimpse of some one_clos-
ing the door, and as I walked on I care-
fully watched the cabin to see if any
person would leave it, but no one was
to be seen. Arriving at the cabin door
I knocked several times but receiving
no reply I called loudly several times
and there was no answer. Then I said
in load tones .
“This is my claim, and I will not al-
low any Claim Jumper to stay on it,
and I want you to come out and we
will settle the matter. I an a poor
man and this is the only chance of se-
curing a homestead at present, and be-
ing here first I am determined to hold
it at all hazards.”
Although these were brave words I
felt a seuse of fear on finishing them.
How did I know but what I was talk-
ing to some reckless desperado who
might pe glad of this chance to fill me
with lead. After waiting several mo:
ments without any reply, my courage
began to return, and I said to myself
that the occupant of the cabin was as
big a coward as I was, and was trying
a game of bluff. With this thought in
my mind I called .out again:
“ say, stranger, if you will not come
out I will tear this cabin down over
your head.”
Not a move could I hear inside, and
no one answered me. 1 then went
around to the south side, and found
that it had been carelessly built, and
the | that with the aid of a pole I could pry
issuing of the proclamation and before | off the root, and then tumble the whole
the 22d day ot April.
cluded to make the attempt to secure
a homestead, for if I did not try it 1
would be sure not to get one. Taking
these views, 1 joined in the race, with
the result that on the morning of the
23d I found myself the proud possessor
of one of the finest quarter sections of
land in Oklahoma. After given it a
thorough inspection I was greatly elat-
ed to know that I was the only person
laying claim toit, although other claims
near by had as many as a half dozen
claimants, and I was glad to know that
no other person was aware of the pe
culiar embarrassing circumstances in
which 1 was placed.
However, my
Anyway, I con- |
structure over. So I placed & pole in
position, and began to pry on it. The
roof slipped a little and I was about to
bear my weight on the pole again,
when I heard a woman scream inside.
Surely, I thought, the Claim Jumper
has a family, and after this 1 laid my
pole down and went around tothe door.
I said :
“Madam, please tell your husband, as
he seems very deaf, to come out, as I
wish to make him understand me. I
have no intention of doing any one
personal injury.”
There was profound silence tor a mo-
ment, and then I heard the woman
say: “There is no man here, and if
"ly, but thier surprise was great when
you enter I will shoot you !”
“Then where may I see your hus
band ?’ I asked.
At this question I heard her laugh-
ing to herself; then she said : “I have
jumped this claim myself.”
“Great heavens!” I replied, ‘come
to the aoor and let us talk matters
over. Then I heard her unbolting the
door and it was suddenly thrown upon.
“In heavens name,” I cried, ‘‘is that
you, Miss Wallack ?” and I staggered
back against the wall almost speech-
less, for there in the door, revolver in
band, stood the young lady 1 had so
madly fallen in love with a fiw “days
before. After my emotion had subsid-
ed, I advanced to meet her with out-
stretched hands.
“I sincerely beg veur pardon, Miss
Wailack, for my terrible rudeness and
Tam sure you will now always hate
me.”
“You have my pardon,” she answer-
ed, taking my proffered hand. “You
did not know it was 1.”
A smile lit up her countenance as
she told me her story, which in brief
was that she had come West, resplved
to take up a claim,but failed to get one,
although her father and brother had
succeeded. Her brother happening
to see me at my claim, recollected see-
ing me on the day before the opening
of the territory, and decided at once
that she should contest the claim on
the ground that I had been in Oklaho-
ma before the day set for opening the
lands to settlement. He had not seen
me while at their camp, and was not
aware of the friendship that had sprung
up between us, and, said she, how was
I to know it was our new found friend ?
Now I will go and tell father and moth-
er, and I am sure they will not want
me to contest your claim, for they took
a great liking to you.
“No, you won't do any such thing,”
I replied. ‘Stay where you ave, or go
and file on the claim, and I will aban-
don it.”
“Why ean’t we both live on it,” said
she, “for we can divided it. I will go
over to my parents,who live about two
wiles from here, and tell them whose
claim I jumped.”
I offered to accompany her, and, as
she accepted, we walked to her father’s
claim. They welcomed me very warm-
Miss Wallack told ber story. She re-
mained with her parents and I return-
ed home. Passing by the cabin on the
hill, I could scarcely help sheding tears
at the rude way in which I had treated
the brave young lady, and it is not any
more than the truth to say that I spent
a sleepless night, and ounce more that
fair face and those laughing black eyes
haunted my dreams.
I made frequent visits to Mr. Wal
lack’s claim, and Miss Wallack's broth-
erand I moved both cabins on my
claim together, and Miss Wallack has
filed on the claim, I being willing to
relinquish my claim for her heart, and
within two months after the opening of
Oklahoma, a newly wedded couple
moved into the double log cabin, Miss
Wallack having become my wife. She
often remarks that she hopes that she
will be as successful keeping house as
she proved to be as a claim jumper.
