Land Rush Draws Speculators to Oklahoma Lands
El Reno Oklahoma August 3 The 23 600 homes of 100 acres each in the Indian lands have been drawn and the drawing of additional names for claimants will attract no attention. About 13 08 lucky ones likely 25 percent do not intend to occupy the land won. Many were attracted by the gambling aspect and registered just to see luck. Registration cost nothing and offered a chance at 160 acres worth 1500 to 4800. Speculators used fraudulent schemes to obtain land, only to relinquish later. The next phase allows a limited window after August 6 for filings under the general homestead laws. Prairie schooners crowd the town, which recently housed about 10 000 people but now empties as sales begin August 6.
