through his attorney, +. a. Cooper,
that he wants of it either $4,000, or
the equivalent of. that sum in the
stock of the company, for services
rendered it under the contract, on
which contract no part has been paid.
The directors of the company are
puzzled. They declare that they know
of no contract, and that they have
none, and say that Mr.. Sommers must
have had some sort of deal on hand
with Mr.. Betty, who was formerly
connected with the company. in which
event his recourse is against that
gentleman.

The executive committee of the To-
cal Turner's met Tuesday evening to
perfect the plans for the coming turn
fest, July >, / and ,. The committee
appointed by the Moline Business
Mems association was also present.
1t was decided To begin an active cam
paign among the business men for
funds needed To defray the expenses
of the three days fest. This will be
the only Fourth of July celebration
held in this vicinity. and the Turner's
intend making the exercises of indie
pendeuce day truly national and COM
memorative of American indepcnd-
ence. Moline can be depended upon
to subscribe literally, as il will he the
greatest celebration ever held in Mo-
line. and one worthy IF Moline'S
greater growth. The Turner commit
tee is o. +. Anderson, Henry Werlich
and Chris +. Mueller. The Moline
Business Mems committee is com
posed of Henry Gripp. +. w. Rank,
Thomas Renoc, w. y. Dierolf and f.
+. Morgan.
Members of the memorial commit
completed arrangements for Memoir
al day exercises May 30. Owing to the
death of Rev. X. C. Bryant. who
had been chosen TO deliver the ora
tion at Riverside cemetery in the fore
noon, it has been necessary to select
another speaker. The committee de-
cided upon j. w. War;, a veteran and
member of the post. and well known
for his patriotism and ability rs n
speaker.
The bar at the Elll's club has been
closed to remain closed all summer.
When fall comes the question of re-
opening it will be taken up. This
action is not the result Of the mayors
order or the fear of prosecution by
unfriendly agents. but by force of
circumstances. The steward resigned
before the famous municipal edict
went forth. and it was decided then
that the sideboard feature should be
dispensed with during the sumner.
Though the weather is warm. club
habitucs are not numerous during
the next three months and the club
will run dry.

FIRST OIL SUIT
IN THE COURTS
Man Who Had De-
posted his Money
Wants In.

now pending in the Northern
District is the case of Ola Will
hite versus L. A. Skelton and
Richard Moore, in the equity
side Of the court at Vinita.
This is a suit to compel the
defendant to make an account
ing Of the profits from, and to
compel the conveyance of one
| fifth interest in an oil lease in
the Usage nation assigned by
the Ontario Usage Oil Co. to
Skelton, one-half interest in
which SHELTON transferred by
assignment TO Moore.
The suit is one OF much i'm
portance, as it involves the
right to profits from and in eff
feet involves the title in a very
rich oil property Of 100 acres
in the Bartlesville oil field, just
over the Cherokee-0sage line.
Several wells on the land have
already been sunk and all have
produced, heavy flow Of oil,
yielding several barrels per day,
and the property is rated at
above the half-million mark.
"A fierce legal battle is on be-
tween these parties the plaintiff
with w. I. Hutchings, Of Mus
kogee, w. H. Kornegay and G.B.
Dennison, of Vinita, as his at
torneys, on one side, and Skel-
ton with his attorney, kirkpat-
rick, Of Kansas and Moore, with
his attorneys, f. 6. MCGEE, of
Bartlesville, Chas. B. Rogers
and Edgar Smith, of Vinita, on
the other.
A demurrer has been filed
by each Of the defendants to the
bill, and kirkpatrick on behalf
of SHELTON, argued yesterday on
this demurrer. Attorneys for
defendant Moore will argue the
demurrer on his behalf on M on
day next and will be answered
thereon by plaintiffs attorneys
on the same day.
Great interest will be mani
tested in this case as it is the
first OF the oil leases to get in
to court. Moore is an English
man and heavy investor in
American oil leases and is un-
derstood to be the man who put
up the money in this deal. He
is now on. his way to this coun-
try as stated by cable few
days since. Skelton is from
Pennsylvania and Wilhite lives
at Bartlesville.
The story Of this transaction
is about thus, according to the
plaintiffs bill.
White and Shelton had bar
gained for the purchase Of
'lease Az for SIS, 900, of
which White was to put. up
So 900. Skelton did not ap-
pear at the appointed time, at
tie bank, to consummate the
and as Wilhite had
to 60 to Hot Springs for his
health he left his SO, 900 on de-
posit to ''make good" He was
shut out and now sues for his
share in the partnership and to
them to take his SO 600,
