No Others Successful In Oklahoma.

Charley Murray is the only successful Jasper county citizen to secure a claim in the Oklahoma land lottery, so far as has been reported. He has received from U. S. land commissioner the offioial notification of his draw, and is also told to be there by August 7 to make his selection. Charley is receiving an abundanoe of mail from Oklahoma points as a result of his winning. Agents want to help him select the land, others want to buy bis ohanoo, others to trade, others to rent, and each train brings him an abundance of information by which some one else hopes to profit. Charley will leave for Elreno Friday morning, Aug. 2nd and will reach there Sunday. He has a tolerably well defined idea as to where he will locate. It is now a tolerably sure thing that bis chance is worth SIO,OOO.
