7Ol THE LUCKY NUMBER
ALBERT r.. THOMPSON, THE HOLDER
WINS THE ELKs' AUTOMOBILE.
The Drawing fakes Place mt the Cy-
cIorama Building-Winners of
Other Prizes.

1t was an anxious crowd OF men and
women that stood about the improvised
stage In the Cyclorama building yesterday
and watched little Inez Jackson draw from
the mass of stubs in a barrel the number
that won the Elks' automobile-71 Albert
r. Thompson, local manager of Granger.
Farwell & Co.. of Chicago, with Offices in
the Majestic building. held the prize-win-
ming number.
During the short time il took the girl to
draw out the 100 stubs from the barrel the
small crowd shivered and jumped around
in an endeavor to keep warm. Little in
terest was manifested until the caller, Mr..
Frank Davy. announced that the girl had
drawn the ninetieth coupon. Then all was
excitement, and those who had chances on
the automobile and had their coupons with
them drew them from their pockets and
clutched them in their hands. Before start
ing TO draw the last ten stubs George
Marott and Paul Krauss put a silk handker-
chief over Miss JacksOn's eyes. She then
delved again into the barrel for the little
stubs. 1t was a moment of excitement
when she pulled out the one hundredth
stub and handed IL to Mr.. Chapman, who
announced in a deep, resonant voice, ''701.
a groan from the crowd followed the
words, and nearly every one present VINO
had a coupon with him began scanning ii
to see If he were the winner.
Following the rattle of the automobile
came the drawing of the number for the
building lot in South indianapolis. Only
five stubs were taken from the box for the
lot. and the fifth number drew the prize.
1t was 200. A good deal of excitement was
caused at this point by the discovery that
one of the men I'm the audience had mum
Der 71 on the building lot. When his
friend next TO him saw the number he
cried out I'm glee, thinking the holder of
the ticket had dra Wn the automobile. Nine
teen draws from a box OF coupons were
necessary to decide the winner Of the
bookcase. Ii was won by a Miss Wright.
Further identification was not given. The
awarding of the clock was quickly done,
and Mrs. j. +. Ferris. 219 West Michigan
street. was the lucky person.
