The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, August 16, 1906
When N.G. LUTZ was in the Shoshone reservation in Wyoming he made a filing
in the land drawing for JOHN MAUK -- acting as a proxy in MR. MAUK's soldier
right. It happened to be a lucky draw, the number being 550. This insures
a good claim and MR. MAUK left this week to make good his intentions and
will no doubt pick out a prize quarter section and The Leader congratulates
him on his good fortune. He will be absent a couple of weeks perhaps and
will later be controlled by the needs to secure full title.

The Chariton Leader, Chariton, Iowa
Thursday, August 23, 1906
JOHN W. MAUK returned from the Shoshone country, Wyo., Sunday without filing
on his claim. He says the water companies have a cinch on all the good land
and demand that every one filing sign irrigation contracts, but do not bind
themselves to furnish moisture. MR. MAUK is convinced that the majority of
western land and reservation snaps are like mirages in the desert.
