El Kcno, 0k.N, Aug. 3. After the lost
of the 13,000 names were drawn from
the wheels Inst night, the great boxes
containing the unlucky namea were
taken to a colored schoolhouse on the
west side of town. There the work
of drawing was continued, but no
record other than numbering the en
velopes and notifying the owner of
will be drawn l'rnm now on. The
streets here are lined with prairio
schooners huleu with household goods
and arc all hended south.
The estimate is made by a govern
ment official that in each land district
1,000 of the 0,500 numbers will not
bo taken in the 00 days, because of
homesteaders who will bo disqualified
or who will leave the country, believ
ing their claims to bo worthless. This
will leave only 5,500 personB who will
make entry in their respective dis
tricts. The 2,000 claims will bo left
for the wagon emigrants nnd others
who hnve been in the country for
months and failed to draw a number.
At the end of the GO days these per
sons can g immediately to their land
office and flic, or if they scttlo upon
a homestead of any other person, they
can remain thereon three months be
foro filing their entry. Homestead
speculators, who registered for the
sole purpose of selling their prizu if
winners, are already seeking to sell
relinquishments of their claims.

Fort Sill, Ok., Aug. 3. Enid was a
great town in its day, and so was Ter

day. Perry and Enid became cities of
10,000 inhabitants after the Cherokee
strip was opened to settlement. Law
ton has a population of 7,000 inhab
itants and it is six days before it can
become a town. Before a soul is lo
cated on its townsite it has three
streets, 400 business houses and 1,500
tents.

DeatU of Wyoming Miner ThrciHck
Exposure When Vast Wcaltk
Wntt nt 11 nnd.
Toor Jack Kurtz worked 10 years to
find the rich mines of copper and gold
that bear his mime, but died in poverty
when within two feet of the long
sought wealth, says a New York World
dispatch from Grnnd Encampment,
Wyo., the scene of the story.
Kurtz was a blacksmith who made a
scant living at his forge in Rawlins.
One day while wandering about he
found bits of copper ore thickly strewn
over the mountain side. Investiga
tion convinced 'him that a. great vein of
ore lay beneath Ihe surface. The
blacksmith closed his sliop, and with
pick and dynamite began .to tunnel at
the base of the mountain near Copper
creek. i
This was 19 years ago. Kurtz was
then in the prime of life, strong and en
thusiastic. Doggedly he hewed 'his way
through rock and quartz. His friends
ldughed at him. The years passed aud
with them came gray hair,a bentform
and a hard and wrinkled skin. But
hopes grew brighter, for every day the
tunnel was forced a little further Into
the mountain.
Kurtz worked on heroically until the
tunnel was 1,500 feet long. But the
hard work and the exposure at last
brought on a violent attack of pneu
monia. Jack Kurtz died.
Kurtz had scarcely passed away
when a party of eastern capitalists
sent trained mentoexaminc the moun
tains noar his tunnel. A wonderful dis
covery was made. Less than two feet
of rock separated Kurtz's tunnel from
a, massive vein of copper and gold ore.
Two days' more work 'by the old min
er would have- rcveuled to him the
promised find. Fiuthcr examination
brought to light the fact that Kurtz's
tunnel paralleled the vein of ore for
200 feet. The old miner hnd worked for
two years in a line parallel with the
rich ore. Had 'he turned hlspickto the
left untold wealth would have been his.
HAD FUN WITH THE PARSON.
Incidentally That Vimctluiinry
Worked Olt n. Mttle Jollity
on the Cowboy.
A clerical friend of mine told me a
capital story of a Yale man who was
the stroke oar of his crew, and tho
chief athlete on the footbnll fteld, says
a writer in tho New York Times.
lie entered the ministry and spent
years in missionary labor in the far
west. Walking one day through a
frontier town, a cowboy stepped up to
him and said:
"Farson, you don't have enough fun.
Take a drink!"
The minister declined.
"Parson," said the cowboy, "you'll
die if you don't have some fun."
And he knocked the parson's hat
oil his head and hit him a whack on
the ear.
The old athlete's spirit rose; tho
science which had been learned in the
college gymnasium and forgotten for
a quarter of a century was aroused, a
blow landed on the jaw of that
cowboy that sent him sprawling in
the street.
The parson walked over him as if ho
had been a door rug, picked him up
and dusted the sidft of the house with
him and then mopped up the sidewalk
with his form.
As tho ambulance was carrying tho
cowboy off he raised his head feebly
and said:
'Tarson, what did you fool me for?
You are chock full of fun."
