OKLAHOMA CITY. o. T., July 2s.-Keo
Tuck a Sac Indian, has given notice at
the land Office of FL Reno of his intention
TO file upon the quarter section of the
land adjoining the town site of Lawton.
which has become the principal town in
the country of the Kiowa and Comanche
reservation. This probably is the most val
liable tract out Of the entire 1900 to be
opened.
The application is made under a. section
OF United States statutes passed in 1887,
which gives every homeless Indian the
right 10 go 10 any part OF the public do
main and TO make entry for any tract of
land that is not in possession OF a home
steader. The section has never been re-
pealed and the right of the Indians who
have no allotments or who were omitted
from the tribal rolls is one that they can
exercise al any time il is stated.
With keo Tuck Were sixty members of
the Sac and Fox tribe who propose TO
make hlings. and attorneys throughout the
country are said 10 be searching for other
Indians who have lost their tribal rela-
tions and who have not secured possession
OF homestead tracts. Ii is believed that
there are 500 in the two tribes who can
secure choice claims I'm advance of the
ones who have registered by simply max
ing their filings The plan IS TO select the
lands they desire. and then so into court

Local weather Readings.
sualties and Temperatures.

Although the mercury was bobbing
around in the nineties during the greater
part of the day yesterday. Indianapolitans
suffered less with the heat than during
any day of last week. In fact, IL would
be hard to make the most OF them believe
that the temperature was as high yester-
day as on Saturday. but such was un-
doubtedly the case, the thermometer at
the local weather bureau registered
maximum temperature Of 96 at o'clock
in the afternoon.
The temporary relief experienced In this
vicinity yesterday probably was due to
the clouded sky which obtained the great
er part of the day, the exceedingly light
humidity, which at no time during the
day was heavier than As per cent, and
the variable winds. which blew at a
lociry of from twenty-five TO thirty miles
an hour from early in the morning until
late at night.
One OF the best evidences of the inop-
pressiVeness of the heat is the fact that
not a prostration was reported. The ap-
pearance Of the sky during the morning
indicated that the long-expected rain
would arrive some time during the day,
as it was so cloudy at times as to almost
obscure the sun, but shortly after noon
the clouds began TO disperse. and the
hopes of the populace went with them.
The weather being conducive to street,
car riding thousands of people visited tho
various parks OF the city during the day
and evening. The greater part OF the
crowd which assembled on the downtown
corners in the morning went 10 Fairview
Park, where. besides the diving horses.
the managers had secured an extrasattrac-
ton in J. b. Johnson. an ex-convict. who
in solitary confinement in the Mis-
souri, State Prison for eighteen years.
Johnson delivered a lecture both in the
afternoon and evening. At night the In
dianapolis Military Band gave its usual
concert.
At Broad Ripple the visitors were enter
tanned with the dances and native games
of the Winnebago Indians. In the even
ing the Indians gave a reproduction Of an
Indian massacre
