THOSE LAWSON TOWN LOTS.
Vim. Miller Tells How the Lots Were
Drawn, on The 24th.
Wichita, Kansas, Oct. "a, 1905.

Wichita, Kansas, Oct. "a, 1905.
EDITORS OF The RUSTLER:
Since did not find any representa-
tive from Great Bend at the Lawson
Town Lots distribu ton today, l
thought a few wordsas to the method
we adopted might be of interest to
some of your readers.
First of all, a committee of three,
out Of about twenty-five Of the pur-
chasers present, was chosen to call
out aloud fhe 900 lots inthe 96 blocks,
which lots were written on 900 cards.
After each block was called the cards
were thrown into a hat-box through a
circular hole in the lid, which hole
was probably 5 inches in diameter.
When the cards were all in the box
several perons mixed, by hand, by
shaking the box, and by turning it
over SO that the contents were in
quite promiscous condition.
The Lawson Townsite Company
had sent dIsinterested secretary
with book containing the names Of
all purchasers of Lawson Lots, which
names were arranged in alphabetical
order. When all was in order the
secretary called name beginning
with letter AZ and the number Of lots
purchased. One Of the committee of
three (the other two acting as judges
drew from the hole in the box a lot
or as many-one at a time-as the
names called for. Another name was
then called and a lot drawn. This
method was continued until all names
were read and all lots drawn from
the box.
Now if the purchasers are not
satisfied with our method and the
location of their lots, can only say
that it behooved you to be present
with better plan and a rabbit foot
in your pocket for good luck.
The deeds will call at your door as
soon as they can be made out anc
sent. WILLIAM MILLER.
