He Drew a Prize.

Jay A. Vinson, OF this place, was
fortunate enough to draw prize
In the recent drawing for land at
the opening Of part Of the Rosebud
Reservation to settlement. His
number is well toward the first,
and as the prizes are limited, and
much OF the land is good, he will
most probably be the owner OF a
good tract OF land. Mr.. Vinson
started yesterday to make his Sc
lection, and the News hopes he Will
strike II rich. There is lots OF poor
land there, however, and some who
go out TO settle will do well to buy
a return ticket IL they can. Mr..
Wilson's number is high enough
TO give him a chance at claims said
to be worth from $4,000 to 5000.
There were only two successful
Kentuckians in the entire list.
