ceive a from Washington that Emmet
Cox son-lo-Uiw of Junnah Parker has
instituted a contest bofore the Interior
department for one of the quarter
atcMons adjoining tho townslte the
notu half of which is '.n tho Woods
claim and the south halt In Miss
Bealp'. The Co: contest Is not re-
garded Borlously but will mako
trouble.
A week ago Cox who had attempt-
ed to socuro an nllotraont ndjolnlny
tho townslto told somo friends that n
firm of El Reno lawyers had urged
him to mako n contost but that ho
had declined.
"TIip lawyers will get all" Cox sold
"and i will be better oft If I tako my
clolniB on my second choice." Tho
lawyers offered to pay all the expenses
and tako half of the land if the suit
was successful in full payment for
their services. The supposition is
that tho possibility of winning was ono
too seductlvo for Cox to resist.
Tho bale of Town Lots is Slow.
'iut Mi!e of town lot3 Is proceeding
so slowly that McCoy avenue will bo
un established business street before
the lots In the main business district
are reached by tho auctioneer.
Two thousand persons left Lawton
last night and this morning in dis-
gust. Tho sale of town lots wns not
proceeding to their satisfaction. The
prlco paid was high enough but the
policy pursued has resulted In delays
which will hold tho town back. No
answer had boon rocelvod from tho In-
terior dopartmont to a roquost tele-
graphed yeetordny asking that tho
blocks In tho business district adjoin-
ing the court houso square and the
land office be put on sale at once.
Only ninety-six lots had boon sold In
two days and the sale this morning
vas slow and tiresome. Extreme
jllcltudo on tho part of the commls-
elonp; J. It. Hampton and tho auction-
eer tiding on bis instruction has
prolonged the disposing of the lots.
Merchants who contemplated purchas-
ing lots brought big stocks ot dry
goods hardware fancy groceries and
drugs The came propared to build
their housos In u dny and must wait
for tho slow movoments of the town-
Bite commissioners. Tho lots now be-
ing sold aro in the romoto business
Bcctiqn nnd tho bidding proceeds at ?6
raises. Thoro nro between 800 and
000 lots designated ns business lots
and only 120 had been sold at noon
yesterday.
Ths prlco paid for lots has stoadlly
advanced as the business centor i ap-
proached. Tho avorago for fifty lots
sold yostorday was nearly ?200 a lot
making tho total receipts for tho two
days ?1GG00. An incident late yostor-
day omphaslzed tho uniform courtesy
shown women In a promiscuous crowd
of Westerners. A woman was bid-
ding for a most desirable corner
which had been offered. The price
had advancod to $396 when someone
shouted out: "What does the lady
jvnnt with it?"
"I want to establish a mlll'nerv
shop" she remarked to the man be
side her Tho person who had ac-
quired this !nf ii.u.i.1:. .i p'J8'eed t
good pair of lungs and a voice which
drowned out the auctioneer.
"She wants It for a mllllncrv store
men." he cried.
"Let the woman have It" shouted
tho crowd. "No man Is going to run
the price up on a woman" someone
yellwl.
"Four hundred dollars" the wompn
cried to Us auctioneer.
"Srld" answered the crowd.

Whore Shall tho Now Building Be
Located Talks With Citizens.
The site for tho new city hall build-
ing is Incoming a mooted question.
JCvery man nan i dlffcroat Idoa Fire
prominent sites arc mentioned viz:
the rill road right of way; the Herrlott
lots on Division and Harrison the io'.s
east of Hotel Itoyal; the Good corner
at First and Harrison and block 36.
The city council has the matter In
hand and Is busy hearing sugge ions.
Here are some opinions:
Dr. Bloomer "Tim hall should be
located on Rast Har'ton avo. The
railroad Is uo place for It."
B. L. Hlrachl: "Put It on the .ota
east of the Iloyfel "
J. M. Brooks "I favor any suitable
location. I'm for (he whole tnwn."
Col. Barrlnger "Put it on Harrison
avenue."
Paul Newman councilman of the
Second ward. "A site given to the
city means a large savins In the cltv
funds. I am In favor of buiiiiinv iim
city hall where every one who comes
to town can see It the first thine: and
think that the city should accept tho
gift of this site on block 68 If the peo
ple will buy It and deed It to the cltv.
We will save at least $8000 and Uiat
means a good deal."
A. P. Saunders councilman from the
Second ward. "A gift of the lots in
block 6E sulta me. Thoro is whero I
believe the hall should bo built. Tho
business Interests of that section
should be guarded as well as any
where In the city. I urn in favor of
putting it there."
John James real es:nte. "By all
means the council should build tho
city hall on that block. Other sites
are either too small too costly or re
mote. I don't wont to haul n fellow
In a buggy out to where the thing
could be located and tAy This is
our city hall.' I want It right in town."
Harry Pnt'e who has lived nil his
life In the effete east nnd for the past
thirty-six years did social stunts in
the sou' hern cities of the coast states
mainly Baltimore sticks his head out
of tho window of tho offices of tho
Mutual Life Insurance company and
screams: "Who ever heard of a city
hall built on a railroad."
L. N. Beadles. -"I bollovo there is
but ono sensible site for tho city
hnll and that is on the west half of tho
block between Harrison and Oklahoma
avonuee. Not beoniiBe I have inter-
ests in tho vicinity but cloarly be-
cnuso tho site Is located right for tho
benoflU tho city expocs to obtain from
the building in the way of advertising
and because It will have much to do
In sustaining business In that porMon
of tho city. It win benefit the west
side as much as the oast side. The
east side has the Masonic temple the
county building. It has the elegant
churches nnd the high school. The
property and business Interest demand
that tho promise of the council to build
It there should be lived up to. I am
in on buying the lots necessary and
giving them to the city."
M. L. Carlisle. "The city council
should not think ot building the city
hall pny where else than on the west
half ot block 66.G. P. I' is the first
place designated by the council and
which they promised should be the site
if the bonds wero votod. It Is the log-
Ical ocat!on for It Is In a place where
every visitor to tho city can see It
They will have to pass it going to the
hotels. Bulldlug It thoro will do away
With tho low undoslrablo oloment that
now lnfocta that district. It will re-
habilitate real ostato values. I will
contribute to the purchasing of the
Jots on tho north Bide ot the block to
maKe uie city a tree guc or me site
It win bo larxe enoueh to elve plenty
of room and can be parked elegantly.
Taking all things Into consideration I
believe this to be the best location In
the city fo." this public building."
