SCRAMBLE FOR LANDS
THREE WOMEN AND TWO MEN
TAINTED WHILE IN LINE.
One Man Knocked Unconscious by
Filing Offce-A Lucky Girl.

CROOKSTON, Mimi. Nov. 10.-The gov
ernment land Office was thrown open for
the receipt of entries on the Red Lake
land to-day. A large number Of men and
several women, after having spent almost
all of their 1ifetime's savings to reach the
land, and lowering about the land office
two days and standing in line several
hours, went through it all In vain. Some
one else got ahead of them. Three women
and two men tainted. Men would not
abandon their places in the line to go to
their rescue as they fell. For the most
part the fights were fair and no foul meth
DDS were employed except in the case of
A. Jolsen, Elk River, Minn., worn out and
exhausted, was given hard fight by a
rival claimant who continually struggled
to get ahead Both made through the
crowd to the door. and just as 1t was al
most time to open the office heavy blow
was landed on Olsen's stomach and he fell
unconscious.
The rush here to-day broke all records
for land-office business anywhere in the
Northwest. The total filings numbered 172,
and about as many more were disappointed.
The greatest price paid yesterday fell to
the first filer, Miss Gustava b. Anderson,
of Elk River, who got some choice timber
land with heavy pine, north of Shevlin,
worth about 81, 900.

Mr.. Troemel was hurled to the ground,
from which he was carried almost uncon-

Large Crowd I'm Attendance.
RARE PLANTS IN PROPULSION
COSTLY COLLECTION OF ORCHIDS

Amazing Variety of Chrysanthemums
in Competition for Prizes
Awards OF HOnors.

With the largest and most beautiful dis
play of chrysanthemums ever seen in In
dianapolis the Indiana Floral Festival and
Chrysanthemum Show. in Tomlinson Hall.
was formally opened last night. Tomlnson
Hall never was decorated so elaborately and
so beautifully as it is for the floral festival
and chrysanthemum show. The show is
splendid in every way. Last nights attend
ance was the largest first-night attendance
at any Indianapolis chrysanthemum show.
The show was formally opened by an ad-
dress by Mayor John w. Holtzman and an
address by ]. A. E. Haugh. formerly presi-
dent of the Indiana Florists Association
Mr.. Hoffman was introduced by Ferdinand
S. Mayer, president OF the Floral Festival
Association. Mayor Holtzman spoke of the
chrysanthemum show as a place of refine
ment and inspiration where the best people
of the community are attracted. This years
show is the best affair of the kind ever given
in this part of the country, the mayor said,
and he congratulated the association upon
the large attendance. Mr.. Haugh said this
years show is better and larger than any
chrysanthemum or flower show ever given
in Indiana, and he thought there were few
shows ever given in New York, even which
surpassed this one. During the entire even
ing a concert was given by the Indianapolis
Military Band.
CHRYSANTHEMUM NIGHT
In keeping with the name, Floral Festi-
val and Chrysanthemum Show, the first
night was chrysanthemum night In both
number and quality the display of chrys-
anthemums shown last night surpasses any
chrysanthemum exhibit ever seen in this
part of the country. Tomlinson Hall. with
Its new lower balcony, seems an ideal place
for the floral festival and chrysanthemum
show. The beauty and elaborateness of
the decorations are amazing. One would
hardly think. before going to the chrysan-
themum show. that Tomlnson Hall could
be made such beautiful place.
The thousands of chrysanthemums on
the floor of the hall and in the balcony and
the wealth of laurel and smilax hanging
from the ceiling and massed about the
balcony and gallery form an artistic and
Flea sing contrast. From the center of the
ceiling is suspended a large bell covered
with laurel. Imbedded in the deep green
of the laurel are dozens of tiny electric
lights From the bell to the sides of and
the ends of hall are festoons of laurel.

may not survive the shock.
Early this morning he had not regained
consciousness and little hope is had for
his recovery.

r. H. Hunt, at Garden City. The Hunts and
Watrouses were cottagers at the same time at

ceedings taken by Mr.. Watrous TO secure the
custody Of his and only child, Livingston,
then ten years old. Mrs. Watrous previous to
her marriage was Miss Margaret T. Livingston.
Early in 1901 Mrs. Hunt secured a divorce
and Mr. Hunt married Mrs. Watrous. The first
Mrs Hunt was Miss Pearl Carley, daughter Of
Francis D. Carley, and sister Of Mrs Oliver
