—Sheriff Butts seems to be the un-
lucky character in the Butts-Tcmple
performance. The reader will re-
member how Butts was Imprisoned
in a cave by the cunning Sol, after-
wards Sol was caught lu Kansas City
but escaped from the Pond Creek
Jail. Last week the Sheriff went to
Woods county, confidently expecting
to bring Sol back, but Sol showed up
here while Butts was beating the
underbush way down at Gage, 100
miles or more from where Sol was
busily trading, swapping and giving
away his favorite article, horse fiesh.
They say the Sheriff actually took
possess.sion of and brought back sev-
eral horses, buggies, wagons, har-
nesses, etc., that Sol and his wife
had started with to the cool retreats
and sparkling lakes of the Glass
mountains, where Sol expected to re
gain health uud strength in angling
for the horny bull bead and wav-
ing before the eyes of the green-bued
cow frog a piece from the tall of his
(Sol's, of course) red flannel shirt, his
mouth wet the while at thought of
those delicious hind legs. But Sol's
trip Is delayed a little, just a little.
He don't tnind the loss of the horses;
bn lias horses and buggies all over
this country. Sol is mad because his
pleasure trip Is delayed, that’s all
—A horse power threshing machine
was unloaded in Manchester Friday
The reason of this remark is that of
all the threshing machines brought
to this county this is the second one
not run by steam. It is owued by a
company southwest of town,of whicu
tho following gentlemen are mem-
bers: Lincoln E. Junes,Robert Allen,
James A. Jones and Claude Weaver.
The boys say tbe roads in their com
inunity make it difficult to move a
traction engine; also, the average
number of acres of wheel to the
farm does not exceed 50 or 60 Bcres
in their oeighborhood.whieh traction
machines always pull by in search of
bigger jobs. Thus, heretofore they
have always been compelled to await
convenience of threshers, and were
always last on the list. They art-
now prepared to do their own and
their neighbors threshing lu season.
—Four men,J.W.Keith,the father,
Jett and Tom Keith, the former's
sous,and “Dutch John,"correct name
not given, are mixed up lu an abduc
tiou-elopement. scrape at Cleo,Woods
county. Dutch Jobu, with tbe con-
sent of her father, J W. Keith, stole
14-year-old Auna Keith; Tom Keith,
assisted by bis brother, Jett, stole 14-
year-old Ina Walborn, who It seems
was perfectly willing to be stolen.
She Is one year too young to marry
without her parents’ consent, and
the man so marrying any female In
Oklahoma violates the criminal laws
of this territory. Her parents art-
hard after the party with officers of
the law. The fugitives are now in
Kansas. If their color were black
the gentlemen would very probably
stretch hemp when caught.
—While August Follet was cutting
wheat last week his team became
frightened and started to run. His
fifteen-year-old daughter was riding
the lead horse, and becoming fright-
ened she tried to dismount, was
thrown to the ground, and catching
on the guards of the sickle bar she
was dragged 90 yards before tbe team
could be stopped. She was terribly
mangled. Auothcr accident which
seems unavoidable, hut which should
forcibly remind those working with
machinery to use the utmost care.
It doesn't seem to us just right
for a young woman to be riding a
horse in tbe harvest field, anyway,
but is probably excusable on account
of the scarcity <*f help to harvest the
wheat crop. Mr. Follet lives near
Lamout.
—The horse and saddle taken from
S. L McMullln by an outlaw near
Sandcreek postofib-c on Thursday of
last week, was found tbe next evening
by a farmer three miles southeast of
Waklta, and was brought home Sun-
day morning bv Mr. McMullin’s
brother, Jesse. Everything was left
just as Mr. McMullln had turned
them over tn tbe outlaw, bis coat
which was tied behind the saddle,
still remaining. Mr. McMullin’s de-
scription of the outlaw tallies
exactly with that of S„l Temple, and
t he further fact that. .Sol bad been
run out nf Woodward county a few
days before, would make It almost
certain It. was Temple who held un
Mr. McMullln for bis horse and
saddle.
—T. J. Noland, a brother to W. K.
Noland, living ne»r Springs, Woods
county, arrived Monday from near
Springfield, 111., and will remain here
until after flic opening of the new
countrv. He reports it exceedingly
dry In Illinois, Missouri and eastern
Kansas, and says he saw farmers
planting corn nearly all the way
through. He says In many places in
Missouri there Is not enough moist-
ure tn the ground to sprout the corn
that Is planted. He came through
by wagon as far as Kingman.
—Claude McMullln and E. F Bacon
have each put. walks In front of their
vacant lots on Main street. In com-
pliance with the ordinance passed by
the city council. It adds much to
the convenlence of the business in-
terest* on the north side of the

TRY YOUR LUCK.
Every qualified person who has not
bad the benefit of the homestead law
should try bis luck in tho gambling
process which It uppear.s will bo
brought into use by the powers at
Washington as the best method of
disposing of the lands in tho Kiowa
and Comanche cuuutry.
It was bard for us to believe that a
gambling method for disposing of the
lauds would bo recognized by Prcsl
dent McKinley and his cabinet, but
It appears such has boon decided upon,
notwithstanding the fact that
the postal laws forbid the use of the
malls for the promotion of gambling
methods of whatsoever kind.
Government employes, business
men and clerks from everywhere will
make it a point to attend Uncle
Sam’s land gambling contest so as to
try their luck for a $50 or $5000 prize.
It will be equal to a world’s fair
harvest for the railroads. Men from
everywhere will attend the lottery,
and thousands upon thousands* who
would not live upon a claim 30 days
If they got one will “try their luck.”
No other plan could have been
adopted that would bring half so
much money into tho coffers of the
railroads, and doubtless it was as
much in their Interest as all else
combined that tho gambling process
was adopted.
The El Reno Democrat gives Its
views In the following as to how the
drawing will be conducted:
“Tbe opening will be by lot and
any person eligible to make a home-
stead filing will be permitted tomake
his application at tbe land office
nearest to bis residence. The country
will be divided into two land dis-
tricts. The El Ileno district will
control about 3000 acres and the Fort
Sill district about 10,000 acres.
There will be two series of num-
bers, one for each land district.
Applications may be made for either
one. The prospeetlvo settler goes to
Ills local land office and, if eligible,
pars Ills fees and gets a chance. He
will bo compelled to tell bis age, na-
tivity and to give a personal descrip-
tion of blmself tn serve In his
identification. A blank form is filled
nut In duplicate, the applicant
receiving a copy, while the original
is sent to Washington. The prizes
are awarded by a drawing conducted
by government, officials.
The El Reno district will have n
different, colored envelope from the
Fort Sill district and each nf the
applications will be enclosed in one
nf these envelopes and sent to the
Capitol city. About two weeks tlmo
will he allowed for the implications
and the drawing will begin Immedi-
ately thereafter. The method of
drawing will he the ordinary “hat.”
or “box” deal, with an equal number
of blanks drawn out simultaneously
with the numbers by a man blind-
folded.
The announcement of tlie result
nf the drawing Is expected to begin
August G. The prize winners will be
notified each day of the result by
mall. It is calculated tho first num-
ber out of the hat shall get a choice
of all tbe land In a given district,and
be will be allowed five days in which
tn make ills selection after notifica-
tion, and In which to make entry.
A certain number or envelopes will
be mailed each day from the depart-
ment at Washington, and the men
nn the ground first, with papers to
substantiate their claim, will be
allowed to file.
Tbe drawing will be conducted
from day to day until all the num-
bers are disposed of according to the
above plan.
Town lots In the new country will
be sold at auction, but not until en-
tries have been made. The lots,
residence and business alike, are of
uniform size, 50x150 feet. No man
will be allowed to purchase more
than two lots.”
