possible the negroes would have liked to
secure land IN one part of the county
in order to have a coIored colony. but
with the drawing this Is out Of the ques-

been fled today than any other day.
They are coming IN from all parts OF the
! country and the soldiers agents are mum
erous. The agent usually registers at the
same time he files the declaratory state
ment and makes one trip do for both
things.
Governor Richards this morning sent
for $1,000 blanks in addition 70 what he
has here. The registration yesterday con
WINGED the governor that the number
registered Will exceed his expectations
and that it viii be necessary TO have
more blanks here IN order that the work
viii not drag on that account Governor
Richards is now working on the plans
for the drawing. The entire plan IN de-
tail win not be made public for some
time. Since J. T. Macy, the private sec
rotary TO Governor Richards. came Up
from LaWton, the governor has had more
time In which to think out the plan for
the drawing. The people who have reg
istered and are yet in the city are de-
voting the most Of their time to thinking
and talking OF the drawing. They are
anxious TO know how Il viii be conducted
and Just what chances they viii have in
securing farm. Governor Richards is
determined that the drawing shall be
fair and for that reason is devoting much
time to completing the details.
The crowd in the city today has been
more orderly than that Of yesterday. At
one OF the booths yesterday afternoon
It was necessary to call the officers three
times IN order to keep the line from
crowding and pushing. After two or thre
Of the men had been called down. the
line became more quiet end the work in
the booth proceeded. The sheriff was
forced to take a hand IN some of the
gambling games yesterday and ordered
a number of the men of the streets.
Some trouble was incurred on this &C
count, but the men who had the ''sure
thing game. which the sheriff stopped,
did not start up again. New tents are
going up daily and in every corner IS
man with tub Of lemonade, calling
out. al lyou can drink for five cents"
The stands seem to do good business.
The man with the "hot chile does the
largest business of the mall His stand
is always crowded and the average man
who patronizes the place, usually makes
a meal right there.
FL Reno is to have new bank. II VIII

OF this city, are at the head OF the con-
Germ. The capital stock VIII be $4,000 and
the Owens building viii he the home OF
the enterprise. Mr.. w. Ballamy recently
sold his drug store with the intention Of
joining some men IN a banking enter
prise in the new country, at LawtOn.
Owing to the fact that so many banks
are TO open up there as soon as the coun-
try is settled the Ell Reno men concluded
that it would be a better proposition TO
stay right at FL Reno.
a report was received here that Deputy
United States Marshal Heck Thomas ar
rested Thomas Green and his two boys
yesterday at Lawton for disposing Of
liquor on the Indian reservation. The
crowd had a wagon loaded with beer and
whiskey The greater portion Of It had

watch on the whiskey peddler or anyone
else who dares to infringe the law.
