He went off vowing vengeance and when at a safe distance turned and drew a pistol from his pocket. "He's going to shoot ye!" cried one of the boomers, but Stillwater was afraid to fire. As Pawnee Brown started after him on a run the gambler fled toward the river. "Let us go after him!" cried one of the others, and away they went.
I'll see if I can get help!" he cried, and ran down to the trail, swinging his lantern over his head as he went. In ten seconds a horseman burst into view, riding a beautiful racing steed. The newcomer was a well-known leader of the land boomers, who rejoiced in the name of Pawnee Brown. "Ai! Pawnee Brown!" cried Dick, and at once the leader of the land boomers came to a halt.

In due course of time the bill concerning Oklahoma was passed by the United States Senate and signed by the President. This was followed by a grand rush of the boomers to get the best of the land granted to them.

It shall never be said that Pawnee Brown rushed in, heedless of the danger to those who trusted in him." It was not long before the scout reached the boomers' camp. Here he found several waiting for him. "I want to see Pawnee Brown."

"You are very brave, Mr. "I'm only Dick Arbuckle, Miss " "Nellie Winthrop is my name. I just reached Arkansas City yesterday. I am from Peoria, and am looking for my uncle, who is somewhere among the Oklahoma boomers." "Indeed! I'm one of the boomers myself at least, I've been with them a good part of the time. Perhaps I know your uncle. What is his name?"
