Spokane, Waah., Sept. 20.—Indica-
tions are thaV many of the 290,000
men and women who were not lucky
tn Uncle Sam’s lottery for Indian
lands In the Flathead. Coeur d’Alene
end Spokane reservations the fore-
part of this month, will sit In the big
jackpot for homesteads In North Da-
kota and South Dakota, where the
Cheyenne River and Standing Rock
reservation will be opened in Oc«
tober. The total acreage is 2,257,«
#40, of which 217,360 arrres are In
North Dakota. Part of the land has
been reserved for school purposes
and allotments to Indians.)
James W. Witten, who conducted
the openings in Montana, Idaho and
Washington, announced In Spokane
today that applications for registra-
tion may be filed at Aberdeen,
Pierre, Lemmon, Lebau and Mo-
bridge, 8. D., and Bismarck, N. D.,
beginning October 4 and continuing
until midnight October 23. Regis-
try must be made in person and the
applications sent to Aberdeen, where
the drawing will take place the last
week in October. The land is sub-
ject to filing and entry on and after
April 1, 1909.
John L. Brownell, formerly of
Chicago, who has filed without suc-
cess at every opening following the
rush to Oklahoma, remarked when
the foregoing was given out by
Judge Witten:
“Win or lose, those who ‘sit in'
may be sure of a square deal, with
no marked cards or pasteboards un-
der the table and no tipping off of
hands. The losers will know more
about geography and the laws of
chance, the railroads will pocket
large sums of money, the notaries
public will wax fat and your Uncle
Sam will be rid of a lot of land,
which will soon blossom like the
proverbial rose, offering homes for
thousands of sturdy Americans who
are not afraid to take a chance."

At'times I could scarcely attend to

helped me. When I used Doan’s

Muskogee, Ok., 8ept. 16.—A. duel
to the death between R. H. Kilgore,
a farmer, and a giant rattlesnake
took place yesterday three miles
east of Stlgler. The snake, seven
feet and two inches long, was killed
and Kilgore was bitten through the
arm and may die.
Kilgore was on his way to town
with a load of cotton. The snake
mot the team squarely in the road
and showed fight. The horses shied
Just as the snake struck at one of
them. Kilgore saw the big diamond
rattler and Jumping from his wagon
seized a club and attacked it. He
struck it a blow acrovs its huge
body but this seemed only to enrage
the snake, and turning, It attacked
Kilgore. Before the man could
strike again, the reptile made a quick
spring and fastened its deadly fangs
on his right arm. The man and the
snake fought until Kilgore, with his
club, finally succeeded in breaking
its back and then quickly dispatched
it. Kilgore unhitched his fleetest
horse, stripped the harness off and
sprang upon Its back and commenc-
ed a race with death to Stlgler.
It was three miles to town. When
he arrived with his horse staggering
with exhaustion from the long race
the poison from the fangs of tho
snake had already taken effect. The
right arm was swollen to a tremend-
ous size and Kilgore had to be lifted
from his horse. Medical attention
was given immediately but it is fear-
ed that the poison has too strong a
hold and that blood poison will fol-
low- even if the antidotes applied are
effective.
The rattlesnake was the largest
ever seen in this section and made a
vigorous fight when he attacked Kil-
gore and his horses. He measured
seven feet and two Inches In length
and had eighteen rattles and a but-
ton. The diamond outlines on its
back were almost as large as a man’s
hand.
