He TOOK
ALL THE
J: LAND.
Woods Selected Homestead
Running Along tho South Of
Lawton Town site.

Iavton. Okla, via Fort Sill, Okla,
August s.-Under conditions altogether
novel. the government of the United
states opened for homestead entry the
reservation of the Kiowa, Comanche and
wichita Indians
Under the lottery plan adopted, only l2S
of those who drew numbers at the In
Reno drawing could select their land to-
day In each Of the two districts. IL Will
require ffty-two days to select all the
homesteads.
Fifty thousand persons were waiting
for the land office 10 open and for the
commissioner to auction of the town
lots. At the head OF the line at the land
office was James r. Woods, of Weather
ford, who drew first choice at the FL
Reno lottery, accompanied by lawyer,
and second in line was Miss Matte IL.
Beals, who drew choice No 2. Her broth
er stood by her side, and with him was
her attorney.
Despite the positive announcement OF
Receiver Mcguire that he would not per-
nit James II. Woods 10 "gObble a string
of the country began with a grab.
Miss Beals had become convinced that
Woods could select any contiguous tract
of l60 acres he chose. Woods applied for
a tract OF land running the entire dis
tance along the south side of the town
site.
IL had been universally understood that
he would take one OF the two quarter
sections adjoining the town site and Miss
Beals the other.
The homestead selected by Woods con-
tains 15S and 41-10o acres This tract Is
oee-hslf mile long east and west, and
runs the entire distance OF the town site
on the south Miss Beals selected her
quarter section adjoining that OF Woods.
1t contains 1877 and 27-i00 acres. In other
words, Woods homestead In between MISS
Beals' homestead and the Lawtvn town
site
Public sympathy was with the young
woman. who had beer beaten. and Woods
received a public excoriation. that was as
emphatic and profane as a mad Western
assembly could make IL. Violence was
threatened, but none was offered.
Winfield 8. Laws, who held claim No. 2,
obtained quarter section, forty acres
OF whish joins the Lawton town site on
the west. These were regarded as the most
