impression prevails that, the revolu

haps the most formidable of any that
have arisen there during the past few
years. Nevertheless, aa long as the
revolutionists can be conitned in their
movements to outlying towns ind can
be kept from the central points of ad
ministration, such as Caracas or the
city of Valencia, it is thought here that
there Is no possibility ol flual success

Blackfoot, Idaho, June 18. The
Fort Hall Indian reservation, Including
148,000 acres, nearly 100,000 of which
etmaiata of fine farming land, wat
tqiened (or settlement at noon yester
day. Exactly on the hour of noon
nearly 2,000 people, old men, boy,
Indiana who had been waiting eagerly,
some ol them (or week, for the open
ing of the reservation, rushed across
the line lr a wild chaotic ecrHMhle for
land ami mining claim. Every con
ceivable kind of transportation was
sed. Many had arranged for relays of
horses in order to locate and get to
Blackball land office before others
u Id file, paying as much a 1 30 for
the use of one horse for a few hours.
At Blackfoot before the noon hour,
Immense crowd of spectators formed
in front of the land office and' in the
ludow and on the roofs of-adjoining
buildings, watching (or the first arrivals.
J. It. Mullen and F. E. Deksy, ol
Pocatello, Were the first arrival.
Shortly alter 1 o'clock the spectator
saw a cloud ol dust rapidly approach
ing on the road stretching out to the
iiithwcst. Soon two dirty, choking
iders were made out, whipping and
spurring, running neck ami neck on
horses that seemed ready to drop dead
from exhaustion. Exact y one hour
nd 16 minutes from the time they
had left Pocatello., 20 miles away, the
two riders, Mullen and Dckay, leaiied
Irom their horses in front of the land
office, Mullen securing the coveted first
position. Each man had used four
rulsy of horses en route. They
finished not more than 15 loet apart.
In aptte of the vigilance of the dep
uties ana reservation police, many
sooncra" succeeded In locating claims
and lined up with the others. Ijind
attorneys were busy all the afternoon
Initiating contests on there claim.
At 2:40 P. M. the special train from
McCamnion, run lor the benefit of
those who had located claims, arrived
in Blackfoot over the Oregon Short
Line. It waa packed to suffocation.
Men were on top ol the coaches, on the
tender, on the locomotive pilot, every
w here that afforded a haiardotta font
hold. Before the train (topped tbev
warmed front the cnachet like bees,
and all made rush (or the land
lllce. For over an hour the force of
deputies were helpless, but finally
nccoeded in forming the crowd Into
line, peverai "grafter " came up on
the train and got into line for the pur
pose of selling their place. Most of
them came to grief in short order, the
officers pulling them out of line aa soon
as they made offers of that kind. Only
27 filings were made yenterday. The
filing of one claim is completed
before another la taken up, and the
work it necessarily alow. The scram
ble will continue today and for several
days, snd numerous contests will un
doubtedly take place. Everything wat
inlet last night, however, and no
armed conflict It expected. The land
office has adopted the plan of Issuing
numbers to those in line, so that a
place In the line once seemed is good.
Several hundred were awaiting the
opening of the land office this morning.

ently undisturbed by the presence in
their immediate vicinity of a new army
of pursuers, Tracy and Merrill yester
day held up another farmer for the ne-,
ceaaariea of life, to-wit: clothes and
provisions, and selecting the vulner
able spot in the guard line that was
thrown out to head them off, went on
their way, presumably rejoicing. The
feature of the pursuit yesterday was
the shooting of a member of the posse,
by another member, who shot in the
belief that he was going to bring down
one of the convicts. The fugitives are
now in the tall timber In the neighbor
hood of Lewis river. Guard Carson is
on his way from Walla Walla with a
fresh set of bloodhounds, and will ar
rive this morning to join in the chase.
The volunteer members of Company G,

to select for food this morning, anil
sheriffs, detectives, posses, citisens and

from the clothes the game left at the

Vancouver, where they offed with the

morning.
