MISS eEALs REcEIvEs sHock
BY Associated Press. ]

Fort Sill, Okla, Aug. 7.--When Miss
Matte Beals, Of Wichita, Kas., the
telephone girl who drew number two
in the Lawton land district appeared
at the land office today to file. she re-
ceived the shock of her life. John
Wood, who drew number one had the
right TO select the claim which was
considered one of two lying along
south of the Lawton townsite Miss
Beals had confidently counted upon
taking one of these. She wanted to
know of Woods which one he intend
ed to select. He would make no defln-
ite answer but It developed that the
winner Of the most valuable number in
the selection had decided to select
100 acres running entirely along the
townsite on the south. Miss Beals
sought an attorney, but despite argu-
ments that such an entry on Woods
part would not be valid it was so en-
tered. This tract is one half mile long
east and west and runs the entire dis
tance Of the townsite on the south.
Miss Beals had to content herself with
the next townsite. Woods filing is
believed to be worth $4,000.
Wnheld 5. Laws, who held claim
number three, secured the quarter sec
tion which Joins the Lawton townsite
on the west. Five thousand people
crowded about the land office when
II opened this morning. The work of
filing was slow.

IOWA STATE CONVENTION.
Delegates Already Arriving for To-
Morrows Gathering.
M Assoeiatea Press. ]

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. MANY del
egates TO the state convention, which
begins tomorrow, arrived today and the
convention fight may be said to be on
in earnest. Practically all hopes Of
controlling the fight before the com
mittee on credeaiial have been given
up by the supporters of Cummins.
They realize that apparently their
chances are smaller than ever All
their fighting will be done on the floor
of the convention and here they claim
they have a certainty at all stages.
Delegates from the ninth district
where the greatest strength of Her
riott lies, say hat many of them are
for Cummins and that in case of a
break from their man, Cummlns will
receive at least nine votes from them.
This would almost insure the nomin-
alton OF Cummins. Reports were
spread by Cummins men this morn
ing that some OF his opponents might
withdraw, but this not likely.
