Washington, July 21.--The draft for the national army is completed The great task of determining the order in which the regiStrantS should be called up for examination was begun at g :4S o'clock Friday morning when No. IDS was drawn, and was kept up eoatinu- ously until early Saturday morning, when the last number came out of the bowl. In all lO,5U0 numbers were drawn, but it is not likely that men holding numbers drawn after the first 2,o00 will be summoned before the boards for service in the first army. According to the officials in charge, the first 1000 numbers drawn repre- sented more than million men
 The draft was invested with all the dignity and solemnity becoming SD i'm portant an event, and was witnessed by distinguished company. The first eight numbers were drawn respective ly by Secretary of War Baker. Senator Chamberlain of the senate military committee, Congressman Dent of the house military committee, Senator Warren and Representative Kahn, ranking minority members of the sen ate and house military committees; i; Maj. Gen. TaSker II. Bliss. acting chief of staff of the army; Maj. Gen. Enoch Crowder, provost marshal of the army; and Major General Mccain, Rdjutant general of the army. After ha nj; |. the regular tellerS took hold, and worked through until the long task was completed.
 In only small number of the larg- est districts will the numbers above d ~.w thousand affect registrants Of theN> 4,557 registration districts througfrout the country the largest has something over l0,200 numbers. while the smallest has only about lS5, and the average is about 5000. As the drawing proceeded. l57 numbers were withdrawn before one low enough to affect the smallest district came. out It was 126, placing 4.557 men number ed 126 on their local lists as l57th in order of liability.
 The following list shows the num- bers In the order in which they were drawn.

Cut Up Didos at Dance In
Kato Town Hall
HE PULLED GUN ALSO
Disarmed and Brought to This
City; Lodged In Jail; Be-
fore Court
From Thursdays Daily.

From Thursdays Daily.
Alfredo Domingo, Mexican, and Carl
Anderson, both employees of local
contracting company, pleaded guilty
to drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct in the municipal court this morn
ing. Judge Harry Johnson imposed
a fine of $2S.65 on each of them, with
the alternative Of thirty days in the
county Jail.
Both of the men INDUCED in gun
play last evening. The Mexican
created something of disturbance of
this kind early in the evening at a
local pool hall, but it was at a dance
in the Mankato town hall that the
main trouble took place.
The Mexican go into a dispute with
ticket seller at the door, Alois Osdo-
ba, and at length drew revolver on
him. 1t is said that the gun had
nothing in it, but of course the crowd
grew quite excited The Mexican was
seized and one report has it that he
drew knife. Corporal Lawrence
Snyder of Company H was in
some way cut a little on the fingers.
! However that was, the Mexican was
hustled out of the hall and over to an
automobile, in which he was taken
down town and at length landed at
the police station.
Anderson His Friend.
Anderson, evidently the Mexican's
friend, was pretty quiet while all of
this was happening, but he seems to
have been quite enraged About mid
night, Anderson approached William
Pierson, driver for the D and G auto
livery establishment in front of the
headquarters Of that concern on Main
! auto that took the Mexican to town
and into custody. Pierson had taken
quite a part in seizing and disarm-
ing the Mexican. Anderson approach
ed Pierson, and, according to the
latter, thrust his hand into his pock-
ct and threatened to shoot him.
| Pierson remarked that an auto was
going without lights and he would have
to stop it. This distracted Anderson's
attention, and it happened the next
moment that an officer Of the po-
lice force was on hand. Pierson
asked that Anderson be arrested. This
! was done and the officer took the
revolver from him. 1t was loaded.
but it seems that Anderson did not
draw it from his pocket.
This afternoon, the Mexican was
still locked up, but it was understood
that friends were going to pay his fir,
| AnderSOn'S fine was paid this morning.

The death of James Cunningham,
an esteemed pioneer of Waseca coun-
ty, occurred Tuesday evening about
seven o'clock at his home on Lake
avenue, Waseca. The deceased had
been in feeble health for several
months, and it was known for some
time by his many friends that the
end was near.
Mr.. Cunningham has resided steadily
in Waseca county since 1868, and his
death marks the passing of one of. the
old-time settlers who helped transform
this region from wilderness into
its present state of cultivation.

lived until he was about eleven years
of age. He came west with his par
ents and settled on a farm near Wa
tertown, Wis, which was his home
for many years. At that place he was
married to Miss Mary Howard.
The couple came to Waseca county
in 1868 and settled on a farm In
Freedom township near the present
village of Waldorf and there the de-
ceased made his home until fifteen
years ago, when he moved to Waseca
He is survived by his widow, and
four children, George of Bismarck
N. D., John of Waseca, Mrs. An
drew McLinn of Mankato, and Miss
Martha at home. He is also sur
vived by a sister, Miss Ellen Cum
ningham of Watertown, Wis, and
by nine grandchildren.
The funeral will be held from the
Sacred Heart Catholic church in Wa
SEGA Friday morning, Rev. Treanol

made in the Catholic cemetery.
The rugged honesty and fine char
acter of the deceased made friends O
all with whom he came in contact
He held many positions of trust il
his home community, and during hi
residence in Waseca compelled the re-
spect of all. He leaves a heritage
rich in honor to his family as a mon
| ument to his memory.
