name is familiar to everybody-Lawton
There are now on the ground adjacent to
Lawton about ZOO people and about 500
business concerns. Among the businesses
represented is two daily papers. Many
persons are wondering where these peo-
pie are to so, as the Indian agent has or
dered them TO vacate all the lands Of the
Reservation. It is feared that this cues

impossible for them to comply with the
order if t0ey want to. Some suggest that
the order does not cover school land nor
military lands. and that permission may
be secured to allow these people to tenn

It was possible TO hear alnlosa any kind
Of a rumor when the drawing was in
progress. One story went around town
that a big list of envelopes had been
blown away by the wind, when they were
being placed in the boxes. There was
some men willing TO swea rafter the
drawing closed, that they saw the en-
velopes flying. No one believed their
story, however, for it is conceded by
everyone who saw the drawing start on
the first day. that it was absolutely fair.
A Democrat, who failed to secure a
number hunted up something for an ex-
cuse and started the story that the gov
ernment clerks had sorted over the reg
istration papers and had thrown out a
number of papers where the persons were
Democrats. This man told his story for
awhile and finally someone asked him
how the clerks would know a Democrat
from a Republican when nopolitical pref
erence was given on the identification
card. The man replied that the clerks
could throw out every name from Mis-
souri, and Texas and not miss it. The
crowd gave him the horse-laugh and
now this man is hunting up other evi-
dence that the drawing was 2 political
scheme on the part of the Republican
administration
