Manner of Drawing.
The announcement of each succ end

shouts of applause and merriment.
Kvery man who did not draw a ptlze
from the wheels today had steadfast
faith that tomonow or next day will
surely see him the possessor of a slip
giving him a title deal to 160 acres of
Oklahoma's land. When the close of
the diawlngs for the day was an
nounced at 6 o'clock, hundieds who had
neither oaten not diank during the day
sank to the ground where they stood
fiom sheer fatigue, or went wearily to
find places for rest, or to refieshmont
booths uptown. The day was remark
ably fiee fiom quartels, and general
satisfaction with the government's
method of disposing of the land was
felt.
It has been found that many hundred
applicants have "lepeated," and that
others have applications so Illegible
that they will he thrown out. Over this
much discoid has tcsulted and the out
come may be an appeal to the courts.

all was icady, Hen Heyler placed his
hand In an aperture In the Kl Hem?
wheel and wlthdiawlng an envelope,
handed It to Colonel Dyer. It was
given to Chief Cletk Macey, stamped
and handed back to Colonel Dyer. The
commissioner walked to the front of
the platfoim, raised his hand for ovdcr
and In n loud tone exclaimed. "Stephen
A. Holeomb, of Paul's Valley, I. T.,
diaws the flist number "
Tho ciowd yelled for three minutes,
iippatently ns much delighted as If
eveiy man had drawn a prize, Kn
v elope number two was quickly drawn
and Colonel Dyer again announced:
"Leonaid Lamb, of Augusta, O. T.,

Cilbe-Crlbe. He went to Colombia,
It Is leported, with a paspport given
by the tepiesentatlve of the Colom

stating that his mission was a peace
lul one.
According to signed statcmenti
made by three of the Allegheny's

States about four months ago on a
pawspoit signed by the Colombian
minster In Washington, when on his
anlval at Ka vanilla,! he was ar

he was released on the understand
ing that he would sail on the first

to go ashote, when wotd was biought
that the gov ei nor wanted to see him.
Ills airest followed The statement Is
made by the passengers that Captain
I.owe. of the Allegheny, protested
against the anest, sajlng It was
against Intel national law, and at the
fame time the captain told the mate
to put the (lei man Hag on the gangwVy
so that the Colombian ofllcers vvcyild
hesitate to tiead on It If they took
.M111III0. The at 1 est did not take place
at this time nnd the polite wlthdiew
on tho captain's piotest. Liter, how
ever, the ship's cleat ance papers weie
icfused and the statement was made
that they would not be tuinished until
Muilllo was .suirtndeted A signed
stntement comemlng the Incident then
says: "The captain then went on land
anil after awhile, i etui tied with more
poller men and we then thought that
ho was going to give up the ptlsoner
In exchange for bis papets. The po
lice went' up to Murrlllo and taking
Horn him that "dirty lib.' as they
called the Hag of Kalner Wilhelm,
took the pilsoner fiom tho ship." This
statement Is signed by Kdwaid J.
White, a Hiltlsh subject; Alma Van
Don Hogaetrle, a Helglan, and Charles

Neither the olllceis of the Allegheny
