Butte, Neb., Oct. 2S.-William J.
Engle Of this place, whose name was
the first drawn in the distribution Of
farms on the Cheyenne and Standing
Rock reservations. was disqualified
three days ago when he filed on a
homestead In Tripp county, South Da-
ktoa. Under the law Engle cannot
make a second filing for government
land.
Aberdeen, S. D., Oct. 28.-Calvin
Bowdry, colored, scored in his first
attempt to meddle with the wheels of
high finance when he drew number 2
in the Cheyenne and Standing Rock
lottery. Incidentally, in his leap from
poverty to wealth, Bowdry set new
mark in government annals, for ac-
cording to Judge Witten, this is the
first time in history that negro has
taken down a leaders prize.
Bowdry Is ported employed by M.
w. Webert in Bismarck, N. D. The
news of his good fortune came to him

William ]. Engel, winner of first
prizs, is farmer residing four or five
miles west of Butte, Neb. He is EN-.
ployed on his brothers farm, is un-
married and is worth about $4,000 be-
fore the drawing.
The drawing started off very auspi-
ciously and Is progressing in quiet
manner. The little girls have given
away to C. Roy de Shon, 16 years old,
former Minneapolis lad, residing in
West Minnehaha.
Over 1000 names were drawn the
first day. Nearly double that number
will be listed each day for the score of
newspapermen present.
The drawings will undoubtedly be
disposed of by Saturday.
Lottery Drawing Begins.
When little Josephine burke, daugh-
ter of Congressman Burke of Pierre,
8. D., who fathered the bill opening
the Cheyenne and Indian Rock lands
to settlement, demurely thrust two
tiny pink hands into the huge pile of
envelopes, little did she realize that
she was giving cool $4,000 to some
one.
The crowd did, however, and as the
tot walked to the center of the huge
arena in the south end Of the Auditor
ium a strange hush fell over the
throng. Then, as Judge Witten, gov
ernment man in charge of the lottery,
read out the name of the first winner,
remarkable transformation took
place. Pandemonium reigned for a
few minutes. Nerves, already strained
to the breaking point, gave way, and
women wept on the shoulders of their
escorts
There were sidelights, too, on the
big show. simultaneously with the
announcement of the first winners,
Miss Nora Henney, a blonde, 25, and
decidedly pretty, created something of
a stir by offering her hand to the
lucky man. Unfortunately, both for
the crowd and the man, there was
no answer from the crowd.

Marshalltown Times Republican.
The report of its years business has
been made to the state executive coun-
Gil by the interurban railroad operat-
ing between Des Moines and Boone
and TT. Dodge, and 1t furnishes a sug-
gestion to all other communities
which are In need of interurban serv-
ice and lack the nerve to build the
roads. The net earnings OF the Fl
Dodge, Des MONIES and Southern for
the past year were $1,000 per mile and
three-fourths of the. gross receipts
we're from passenger fares.
Now. interurbans can be built and
equipped for approximately $4,000
per mile. The state law permits q
bonded indebtedness Of $4,000 pei
mile. The fixed interest charges at
per cent would be 5000, leaving $500
| per mile, or 10 per cent net on ar
equity of $4,000 per mile.
Any community wishing to built
thirty miles of interurban could cas-
tly get tax aid of $4,000 per mile
which would leave an Investment no
to exceed $4,000 per mile to raise b.
stock subscription. Here is the De-
Moines-Ft. Dodge experience promis
ing 10 per cent on this equity to en-
courage business men and farmers t
build their own interurbans. II ou
