ONE CHANCE IN THIRTEEN
Today the Federal Government Is
l'iTp.isili", In Old Lottery Style, of
'-Quarter Section Claims In
the Kiuwa-Comaiiche Reservations.
El Reno, I. T., July 29.—One of the
greatest lotteries in history, that con
ducted by the federal government in
disposing of 13,000 quarter section claims
m the Kiowa-Comauche reservations,
was begun here this morning.
No public event in years in the south
west has attracted so much attention as
this one—the initiation of a new method
of disposing of government lands. One
hundred and sixty-seven thousand per
sons, each, with one chance in 13 of
winning a homestead, watched the event
here in reality or at a distance.
The drawing took place on a platform
built in the open air ior the purpose, a
few blocks from the center of El Reno.
I: is situated at the foot of several small
hills, which formed a perfect amphi
theater. The platform was the cynosure
of thousands of oyes. People occupied
every inch almost of the space round
about and every movement of the gov
ernment officials in the space below is
watched with the most incense interest.
The railroads carried full}’’ 15,000 yes
terday and those who came in during
last night and this morning swelled the
crowd to fully double that number.
HuudredS of others are still bound this
way.
Waited Patiently For Months.
Sunday was spent quietly, and as
night came on and the hour approached
the men and women, many of whom
had awaited patiently for months for
the morrow’s event and had come thou
sands of miles at the last moment to
participate in it, became anxious. Worn
out with days of hardships and nights
or poor accommodations, they were
keyed to a high tension, but thousands
were prayerini and hopeful. Everyone
seemed confident that his would prove
a lucky number.
Thousands of others had gone home
immediately alter registering, content
to await news of the drawing by tele-
grapu. Hundreds remained awake walk-
im: the streets ana discussing again and
again the merits of the particular claim
ou which they intended filing when
their lucky number should be an
nounced. Many lay down and slept on
the ground around the platform to be
sure of an advantageous position when
the first number should be called out at
9 o’clock, or to remain perhaps till (5
o’clock iu the evening, when the last
one of the 1,000 of envelopes to be drawn
today shall have been picked from tne
wheels of fortune.
t he first break of dawn found every
one on the alert and moving with com
ma; impulse to the all important point.
Ail had been in readiness for hours,
lhe government clerks finished the task
oi placing the envelopes of the appli
cants in envelopes, and of tying themiu
bundles ready to be placed in the
wheels, and the wheels had been tested
for tire last time yesterday afternoon.
The only detail that remained was the
selection of 10 persons, who should per
form the actual drawing of the envel
opes from the oblong receptacles. They
"'ere young boys of good families, and
were named at the last moment. They
were all under age, and persons who
have not registered for claims.
■lob printing at the right prices.
El Reno, I. T., July 39.—The great
laud lottery began at 11 o’clock this
morning. Twenty thousand excited, ex-
pecrant people jammed aud crowded
about the platform on which, from the
wheels of fortune, the government offi
cials superintended the drawing of the
lucky numbers to those of the 107,000
applicants who will receive a home
stead among the 13,000 in the Kiowa-
Comanche ooumry.
The approach to the stand of the com
missioners guarding the precious bun
dles of envelopes containing the thon-
t sands of applications was the signal
l for a great demonstration that was re-
i uewed with fervor from time to time
j during the progress of the arrauge-
! ments. When finallwten bovs, five for
the El Reno and five for the Lawton
district, were lined up before the two
wheels, and awaited the word to draw
A DASH FOR LIBERTY.
Florida Murderer, Trying to Escape,

Monticello, Fla., July 29.—Simon
Williams, condemned to death for the
murder of Deputy Sheriff Hawkins, and
sentenced to hang Aug. 8, made a dash
for liberty yesterday.
Deputy Sheriff R. H. Kilpatrick, with
a trusty, had gcuo to the death cell to
give Williams his dinner. Williams
had secretly removed the shackles from
his ankles with a chisel, furnished by
unknown means, dashed upon the offi

get in the cage. The officer sprang on
the murderer and a tnssel eiisued, in
which the officer was shot. Both fell
down the stairway and rolled into the
yard, where the deputy wrenched the
pistol away. Williams ran to the gate
of the stockade, but could not get out.

Effect Will Be to Cause a Temporary
Paralysis of Shipping Business at
San Francisco, J-uch as Has Never
Heretofore Been Known.
San Francisco, July 30.—The labor
troubles in this city reached their cul-
nfination late iast night when the City
Front Federation ordered a general
strike ou the dock of San Francisco,
Oakland, Mission Rock and Port Costa,
to go into effect this morning. The ef
fect will be to cause a temporary paraly
sis of the shipping business of San
Fancisco, such as has not been known
before.
The meeting of tbe federation was a
long one aud there was much heated ar
gument, but when the resolution came
to a vote every delegate present voted
in favor of the strike. The following
unions were represented, comprising all
the workers ou the water front:
Sailors’ union of the Pacific, four lo
cal unions of longshoremen, marine
firemen, Brotherhood of Teamsters, ship
and steamboat j fans, porters, packers,
warehousemen, smp clerks, pile drivers
and bridge builders, hoisting engineers,
steam and hot water fitters and coal
teamsters.
Cessation of All Labor.
Their action, which i3 a direct out
come of the lockout of the teamsters,
will have for its immediate effect the
cessation of ali labor iu and around the
great docks of the city about San Fran
cisco bay. The Sand Teamsters union
and the Oakland Teamsters union also
ordered a strike. This will make a to
tal of over 25,000 union workmen who
have stopped their labor since the mid
dle of May last, divided as follows:
City Front Federation, comprising 14
organizations, 15,000 men; machinists
and iron workers, 7,000 men; cooks aud
waiters, 1,500; Sand Teamsters, 600;
Oakland Teamsters, 1,000. Total num
ber of men out 25,000.
The tie-up will be complete if the
plans of the labor unions are successful.
They hope to stop the loading, and even
to prevent tne moving of ships that are
now almost ready for departure. Unless
the proprietors aud managers are able
to secure sufficient non-union help to
load and manage their vessels, the
strike will practically mean the closing
of the port aud rhe suspension of busi
ness iu the wholesale and manufactur
ing sections of San Francisco and Oak
land.
When the news of the action of the
Federation was sent to the various
headquarters of the unions interested,
it was greeted with tumultuous cheer
ing, showing that all of the organiza
tions were iu accord with th9 strike
order.
Prepared to Meet Strike.
Members of the Employers’ associa
tion state that they have fully consid
ered the resnit of the strike and are pre
pared to meet it. The industrial con
ciliation committee of rhe Municipal
league made strenuous efforts yesterday
to avert the threatened strike, but with
out avail. Two meetings were held iu
the mayor’s office. At the second meet
ing a statement from the Employers’
association’s attorneys embodied in a
report by Mayor Phelan was read and
approved by the committee as the best
it had to offer to the dissatisfied work
men.
No concessions to the strikers and
other union men interested were con
tained in it at the meetings of the City
Front Federation unions aud the re
port did not receive serious considera
tion.
The City Front Federation has issued
a statement in which it reviews the sit
uation and states that the strike was
not ordered until ali houorablo means
of effecting a settlement had been tried
in vain.
QUARANTINE STATIONS.
Federal Government Will Assume
Charge of All on Florida Coast.
Jacksonville, Fia., July 27.—The
state board of health on August 1st will
be relieved of a big burden, as well as
a big expense, by the government as

Georgia Girl Answers au Advertise

Macon, Ga., July 31. — A Macon
young lady, Miss Julia Sophia Smith,
has become the bride iu a romantic mar- j
riage in California a few days ago. She j TlirGG Al G Killsd cUld SeVGIl
was married to Mr. Albert Price, a
highly respectable and worthy gentle
man of Riverton, Cal. It was a case of
love at first sight, and grew ou; of the
fact that several months ago Miss
Smith, who was in Macon, answered a
newspaper advertisement of “wife
wanted. ”
A correspondence followed between
Miss Smith and Mr. Price and he pro
posed marriage. Miss Smith was un
willing to accept until she had seen and
talked with him and fully satisfied her- I
self as to his respectability and ability
to prouerly provide for her. This view
of the matter was entirely agreeable to
Mr. Price, and he sent Miss Smith a
check for §100 to defray her traveling
expenses to California, with the state
ment that if after her arrival there she
did not care fo wed him he would pay
her way back to Georgia.
Recently Miss Smith left for Califor
nia and there met Mr. Price. Each was
pleased with the other, and their mar
riage took place on July 19. Informa
tion to this effect has just been received
,in Macon bv relatives of the bride.
