Ell Reno, July 29.-The great land
lottery began at IL this morning.
Twenty thousand excited people
crowded above the platform on which,
from wheels of fortune, the govern
ment officials superintended the draw
ing of lucky numbers to those of the
167, 600 applicants who will receive
homesteads. Among the $4,000 in
Kiowa, Comanche county, 10 boys,
five for Ell Reno and five for Lawton

placing of the envelopes into tie
wheels proved slow work, delaying
the drawing two hours.
The First Lucky Number.
The first envelope taken from the
wheels contained the name of James
Z. Wood, of Weatherford, Okla, who
had registered for homestead in
the Lawton district. Matte II. Beals,
OF Wichita, Kas., drew mum Der two.
They will probably select two quar-
ter sections adjoining the Lawton
townsite district, which are believed
to be worth $40, each.
Number one in the Ell Reno district
is Stephen A. Holcomb, of Paulsval-
ley, Indian territory. Number two
is Leonard Lamb, of Augusta, Okla.

than waiting until Just before dark.

''You have also been criticised for

FL Reno, o. T., July 29.-All was

sands of hOmeseekerS here over the
grand lottery that began this morning.
There are $4,000 claims to he distrib-
uted, and so each of the 163. $50 per-
sons who have registered during the
past fifteen days has about one chance
an thirteen of winning. 1t is Il long
shot. but every one apparently feels
confident of being numbered among the
lucky. and in consequence the best
good nature prevails. While the scene
lacks the great excitement of the run"
which has heretofore been part OF
other land openings in this part of the
country, the last act in the throwing
open to settlement of the KiOwa-CO-
manche reservations will not be with
out life and animation.

The drawing is taking place in the
center OF the city. and being witnessed
by thousands of people. 1t is being ac-
complished on large platform in the

sides form a natural amphitheater. y

er of the general land office, who has
had charge of the registration; ID. Il.
Dyer, of st. Louis. former United

The actual drawing is both novel and
extremely interesting. On the plat
form are two Oblong box wheels. each
fifteen feet i'm length, one 10 hold the
names of the applicants for homesteads
in the FL Reno district and the other |
for those of the Lawton district.

was continued until all of tine envelopes
