white, Virginia Foster OF Dallas and
Dorothy Slaughter OF Gregory, started to
pick out number one from among the
5000 envelopes which contained the appli-
cations for homesteads. The excitement
was intense. Each ono in tn eaudence
held his breath In anticipation OF winning
the first homestead. After the first num-
Der had been called out by Judge James
Wttten, announcing that Mary Kendall
of Rapid City, 8. D., had drawn No. 1,
there was a cheer which indicated the
feeling of the gathering.
sim there were different hopes palpi-
tating in the breasts Of the multitude as
each envelope was opened and none Of
the names OF those present was called,
There were all manner of demonstrations
by the assemblRge which cheered as the
lucky ones from eacn seat were an
nounced. But when No. was passed
there was a lull. Then the two little girls
drew forth the envelope which contained
the application of Leonard w. Ellmaker

had come in on No, was greeted with
4 lusty cheers, Hiram l.. Acller was the
