1889, Keeping Out the Boomers

The Atlanta Constitution, dated 22 April 1889, Monday, on page 1, gives us a brief sight into the Indian Territorial Run of 1889 with the following headlines: "Keeping Out the Boomers."

Found on Newspapers.com

Oklahoma City, April 21 (1889) -- The soldiers still continued to guard the station and to keep out all the would be settlers. Lieutenant Adair and his troops were doing efficient work in this respect. Now and then men alight Edmonds or at other stations, where there were no troops, but they were soon found by scouts and compelled to leave the country. Deputy Varnum stated that he had special orders from Marshal Needles, of the Indian Territory, and Marshal Jones, of the Kansas District, to arrest all persons introducing or selling liquor in Oklahoma. They met at Guthrie, and coming to the opinion that this was still Indian country and that the sale is prohibited there the same as in any other part of the territory, issued the order. Marshal Jones had established deputies on the principal stations to keep order and enforce the law.

The South Canadian was crossed the morning after, and the water appealed to be rapidly subsiding. If there were no further rains, the river would not seriously interfere with the crossing of the boomers on the opening day.
