A large number of Norman and
Lexington people attended the Ana-
darko town lot sale but up to last
Friday only Nathan Turk of Lexing-
ton and Jerry McCarty of Norman
had made any purchases.
Last Saturday morning it started
in to rain and every thing pointed to
a big downpour but after drizzling all
forenoon it cleared up without rain
of any consequences falling. On Sun
day morning the same thing was re
chances are very great that the new
county officials would not have been
so vigilant. At any rate the saloon
men would not have acquiesced so
readily. They did not have car loads

He had a big force of deputies in the

of whiskey and beer in Anadarko but
it was in cars on the side track spoil-

Lot Sales in the New County Seat Towns.
Tuesday of last week tiling on
claims by the successful parties in
the lottery began at the Lawton and
El lie no land ottiices and also the auc-
i tion sale of lots in the new county
seat towns.
The crowd of people turning out to
the sales of the town lots was a big
surprise. It was estimated that fully
2i>,000 people were at Lawton when
the sale of the town lots opened up
at Anadarko the crowd was not so
large but it was anywhere from 8000 to
10,0110 and from 5000 to 11000 at Hobart.
I The sale of lots began with the
lowest numbered business block in
■ each county seat or what would
naturally have been supposed to be
the cheapest priced bu-iiu-- lots.
; Speculators in town property were on
' I the ground in full force but when the
1 lot sale started some retired to the
* hade or went fishing in the Washita
> ; thinking that by the second day the
f- fellows who were there with just so
much money that they had to invest
•• would be exhausted long before the
I desirable business property was
X | reached and others left the scene for
V home or one of the other townsites.
Trains in and out however were
!;! equally as heavy loaded and the
£ | crowd showed very little decrease if
I any up to last Saturday and the price
| lots brought at the sale continued to
£ advance as the desirable business
t ! portion of town was approached. Un-
X ! less Anadarko makes a town with a
ill j population of 10,000 we rather fear
| the fellows who invested all the way
••• i from M00 to $700 in 25 foot lots during
the first three days of the sale will
always remember the Anadarko town
lot sale as a time when they specu-
lated in town lots to their sorrow.
Anadarko will doubtless make one of
the best county seat towns in the ter-
ritory. but there is nothing to indi-
cate that it will make a town of over
2500 inhabitants and be 10 years in
growing to a substantial town of
even that population. In the town
lot sales in Lawton and Hobart the
lots sold at sale much as they sold in
Anadarko. Men who went to the new
county seat towns intending to open
in business and thinking that they
would be able to secure a good lot in
business portion of the town for any-
where from $100 to $300 for insdie lots
and from $300 to S500 for corner lots
soon made the discovery after the
sale began that property anywhere
they would have it was going to cost
them anywhere from $1000 upward
for inside 25 foot lots and from $1200
to $2500 for the best corner lots. A
number of them in Anadarko with
whom we talked had about made up
their mind before the best business
portion of the lot sale had been
reached not to purchase lots at the
sale but to wait until sometime later
when they felt that lots would be
cheaper or that they could invest in
same with more certainty in relation
to where the best business portion of
the town would be. The townsite of
Anadarko is too flat for good natural
drainage but it seems to be under
laid with fine water at a depth of
about 25 feet. The Washita river
also comes close to the town and
would furnish an unlimited supply of
water tor fire and sewerage purposes.

Jail Break.
Last Saturday afternoon the priso-
ners in the county jail taking advan-
tage of a short absence of the jailer
broke through the walls of the jail
and made a dash for liberty. They
took winchester and pistols out of the
jail ottice with them. The sheriff was
soon notified and bad a big posse in
pursuit in a short time ar.d most of
the prisoners were back in jail before
night. Two of them however armed
with shooting irons started east and
held up some parties and took horses
and were making good time traveling
it with the sheriff about one mile
behind them. The two men escaping
were named Elijah Brown and Ben
Brown a bad negro. Last Sunday
morning theotticlers had not come in
with either of them and it may be
some time before they are recap-
tured. Goldsmith, Kimberlin, and
Mitchell were the three captuped.
They were caught before they had
got away from the jail a distance of
two miles. They succeeded in break-
ing out of jail cage at the place where
the same had been repaired some
time previous.
"he le" of a stool is the only thing
they seemed to have to pry off a
niece of strap iron used in repairing
an opening where bar had been cut
out of the cage.
