living When asked whether he believed
in horseshoes or a rabbits foot he replied
that he had found many horse-shoes in
his life and that a rather queer incident
happened when he heard that he had
drawn a claim. He says he had entered
butcher shop Tuesday morning and
saw some rabbits lying on a counter near
by. He stepped up 10 the counter and
started lingering a rabbits foot, when
the butcher informed him that he was a
winner OF a home. Mr.. Bolte is stem
ograp5er for Division Superintendent H.
4 Tice. of the Santa Fe.
Jesse Gwyn, another one Of the Vic
drawers told reporter for the Eagle that
he was going down TO the new country
next week and start 20 farm his prize.
He says that he is not a believer in horse
shoes, but that he has picked up many
a horseshoe This is the first time that
I have ever won anything. So far, I-have
had to work hard for anything I have
ever received" Mr.. Gwy-n told the repor-
ter
Mr.. Gwyn lives at 525 South Topeka ave
nue. and is car inspector for the Santa
Fe.
Rev. Bruce Griffith. the popular young
minister. was among the lucky ones in
yesterdays drawing. Mr. Griffith was
seen by q reporter for the Eagle last
night who wanted to know what AR
Griffith was going to do with his claim.
The reverend gentleman said: 1T is my
intention to farm my 100 acres and keep
it for home" When asked whether he
was superstitious, he said: Il am not. I
do not believe in signs or omens."
In answer to whether there was any
thing that had happened lately that he
could remember which could be taken for
a sign, he replied that if anything like
a sign of good luck could be taken from
the fact that one of his Pensioners had
moved to a new home last week and
Tuesday he called on them and as he
started up the front steps, he noticed
horseshoe over the door and at that
time he thought TO himself that the
house must have formerly been occupied
by superstitious people. Rev. Griffith
says when he takes charge Of his claim,
ne will start a mission.
There was a great story in yesterdays
Kansas City Journal about Miss Beal
being engaged to a young man in Kan
sas City. Miss Beal says that this report
is untrue and that, she is not engaged
to anyone.
Tom McDermott, fireman on the San
ia Fe who lives in this city. says he will
keep his claim and farm it. He told a
reporter for the Eagle that he was not
sure or not whether he believed in signs,
but that while he was down at FL Reno
his wife went driving in the country and
when she had nearly reached her desti-
nation she saw a horse shoe on the road
which she picked up. When Mr.. Nc
Dermott got home. his wife informed
him that she felt sure he would get a
claim and stated to him why she thought
50. basing her belief on the finding of
the horse shoe.
W. F. Mcfarland. the telegraph opera
tor of the Eagle ONCE. was celebrating
his good luck last night. He succeeded
in drawing a claim in the Lawton dis
trict. He said: 81 do not believe in
any old sign or omen nor am 1 in the
least superstitious. I simply went down
