People In the neighbcrine towns h4a
heard OF the novel affair. and came from
all directions TO witness the final proceto-
ings. Two hundred ard fifty tickets upon
each girl had been sold. and the arrange
ment was that each prize should be DIS
posed OF separately under the auspices
OF committee selected out OF the audi
ence. Tickets numbered 10 correspond
with those sold were placed In enc box.
and another box contained 2is blanks and
one number marked "Prizc." Two young
girls were then selected to preside Sser
the boxes, and the drawing commenced.
the tickets being removed from both
boxes simultaneously until the lucky
number drew the prize. For half an hour
the audience sat in suspense. while the
two girls slowly withdrew the numbers
and compared them under the vlgilanr
eyes of the committeeman. but at last
the number lis was responded to by the
exclamation ''Prizer and the first rattle
was over. Then followed Wild skirmish
for the owner of the lucky ticket, and
when found he was carried to the front
over the heads Of good-natured crowd.
The holder OF the winning ticket proved
to be thrifty young man OF the settle
ment, who had long sought for the hand
of the eldest daughter, Hulda. whose hus-
band he was now to become.
A MARRIED MAN GETS NO. 2.
Next came the rattle for the second
daughter a rosy-cheeked lass of twenty
two summers. This time the winning
ticket was held by one OF the richest
men in the town. but. unfortunately, he
was married man with a large family.
This caused a long delay In the pro-
ceedings, during which the entire audi
ence entered into heated discus
sion as to what disposition should be
made of the ticket, but It was finally
agreed that the lucky number should be
sold at auction then and there. This
was done. and after considerable spirited
bidding Miss Minnie. the second daugh-
ter. became the prospective bride of a
middle-aged widower, who paid $50 for
the prize.
Then came the rattle for the youngest
daughter and things were progressing
smoothly enough. when an error was
discovered which caused bitter alterca-
tion between two ticket holders. and
came near precipitatlng free-for-all fight
among the spectators. Through care
lessness the winning number had been
duplicated, and there two claimants Tor
the hand OF Daughter No g. AT lehg'h
q general row was averted, however, by
the adoption OF a happy suggestion. The
two claimants resorted to a game OF
"freeze out" for a determination of the
matter, and for two hours they sat at a
card-table. surrounded by an excited
crowd Of friends, manipulating the paste
boards for a bride. Slowly the stack OF
chips in front of the unlucky player
dwinded to a paltry few, and at last
his opponent swept the board. and the
game was decided in favor Of a young
man named Gustav Johnson. who labors
by the day on the farm of his father.
True to their promises. the three daugh-
ters will allow themselves to be led
to the altar by the three lucky winners.
and the three weddings will take place
within a month, upon which occasion
a grand dance will be given in the
schoo-house to all the people Of tie set
