to Withdraw When Ordered by
the Police.
FIRE ENGINE TAKEN TO SCENE

TER TURNED ON ZIONISTs.
Members of the Band BOwIed Over
Like Tenpins - Dirty Liquids
Squirted on an Elder.

CHICAGO, July 10.-About two hundred
followers Of John Alexander Dowie made
another attempt to convert the citizens of
Evanston tonight and failed, as on former
occasions. One-half of the Dowieites were
followers of Zion and the remainder were
members of the paid bodyguard which
Dowie maintains. The guards were intend
ed to prevent any interference with the
meeting and when it commenced they
formed around the Dowieites proper to
hold back the crowd of fully 1900 people
which gathered rapidly as soon as it was
known that another Dowie meeting was in
progress.
The Dowieites were pelted with eggs and
vegetables and when several fights resulted
between the guards and the people of the
town the police force of Evanston was
called out. The chief Of police ordered the
Dowieites to withdraw and met with re-
fusal. He ordered his men to charge them
The police did not use their clubs and the
guards held them back by sheer weight
and force of numbers. The crowd mean
while was growing ugly and Mayor Bayles,
OF Evanston, seeing that unless something
was done quickly people would be seriously
hurt and possibly killed, ordered out a fire
engine. The steamer at once turned four
inch stream on the DoWieiteS and they
went over like tenpins Women as we'll as
men were thrown down by the stream and
sent rolling in the mud. The people of
Evanston danced and hooted with delight
as the firemen steadily advanced, driving
the Dowetes before them In utter rout.
The work was done with impartality, and
whatsoever Dowieite was dilatory in move
ment was washed along by the four-inch
stream
AS the Dowieites fed the dry method of
attack came once more into favor and the
bombardment of eggs and vegetables was
resumed and aided materially in purging
the town from the presence of the Dow
ieites.
Elder Piper, of Dowie's church. who
had been in command of the small army,
was arrested on a charge of disorderly
conduct. While he was being led into the
station men and boys armed with syringes
containing dirty water and other liquids
more Objectionable made him an object OF
especial attention and he was in sorry
condition when the station doors closed be-
hind him. About twenty other Dowieites
were taken into custody. more to save
them from the crowd in the streets than for
any other reason.
The Dowieites say they will return in
greater force and the people of Evanston
declare that il will only make the next
riot so much the larger.
Two followers of Dowie were injured in
the struggle. while another protested after
ward that he had been assaulted and
beaten by a policeman after he was
locked up.

MANY SEEKING HOMES
HUNDREDS OF PERSONS REGISTER
ING AT Ell RENO AND LAWTON.
Slept I'm the Streets i'm Order to Re-
tain Places i'm Lihe-Drawing to
Begin on July 30.

Ell RENO. o. T., July I0-Following the
proclamation of President Mckinley open
ing up to settlement by the whites the
1900 farms in the Kiowa- -Comanche coun-
try, the first registration of home seek
ers was made here and at Lawton at 3
o'clock this morning. Hundreds were lined
before the various registration booths
when darkness came tonight. and to-mor-
row and next day the registrations will
continue until all who come have been
given opportunity to file their names The
drawing by lottery will begin on July %.
and until then none of the $4,000 applicants
will know whether he has been lucky
enough to receive a homestead. The lot
terry scheme robbed the opening of the
dent TO the great opening of the Cherokee
strip ten years ago. Compared with that
event the affair to-day was tame. Con-
sldering that there are perhaps 10000 peo-
pie In town comparatively little disorder
prevailed
Last night hundreds of people slept In the
streets and alleys to maintain their places
In lines which began forming yesterday at
the six registration booths in El Reno. The
crowd before each booth elected a captain
and each man and woman in line was
given a number which they pinned on their
clothing. AS o'clock neared, interlopers
tried to push in and break the numerical
Order or the line organization. This in
stantly raised bad blood and when word
was passed down the line a little later
that the booth officials would not recog-
nize the line organization, but would reg
lister the first persons to present them
selves, there were threats of violence, and
rioting seemed likely Trouble was pre-
vented by the early announcement that the
line organization would be respected by the
government officials. Cheers and waving
of hats greeted this word and from this
time forth no sign of trouble was apparent.
Applicants were admitted to the booths
four at a time and the filing proceeded rap
idly all day long
During the day the heat became intense,
but no serious suffering was reported. The
numerous women in line were treated gal
lantly by the men, who shaded them from
the sun with umbrellas and furnished
drinks from the lemonade vendors.
The second place of registration named
in the proclamation was at Lawton, twen-
ty-five miles overland, where similar scenes
to those enacted in El Reno were wit
messed.
The total registration OF homesteaders at
FL Reno to-day is 40ls. 1913 being women.
Assistant Commissioner Richards establised
a separate registration booth for women.
Mr.. Richards says that he can register 5000
daily from now on. or as soon as organiza-
ton OF his force Is perfected.
