CHICKASHA, I. T., Oct. 28, 1892
To the Editor of the Eagle.

I saw in the Oklahoma Outlines" in your paper of the 27th inst. that Zack Mulhall states that the strip is now clear of all cattle, and the department stated the same, a few days before and the train that brings us the paper is delayed about six hours, owing to the train ahead of them running into a bunch of cattle, and ditching the train, close to Birds Point in the strip. Now I may not take the right view of the case, but I think that perhaps this herd of cattle heard this statement, and they were so mortified at the assertion that they tried to commit suicide. Because we all know that the strip is certainly free from all cattle of any kind after being so reported, and then, it has all been burned over so there is no grass for them to live upon, and the suicide theory is, the only way then to account for the wreck of a train in the middle of the strip by stock being on the track.
