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

The most important law suit
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 a one
fifth interest in an oil lease in
the Usage nation assigned by
the Ontario Usage Oil Go. to
SHELTON, oue-half interest in
which SHELTON transferred by
assignment to Moore.
The suit is one of much inn
portance, as ii involves the
right to profits from and in eff
feet involves the title in a very
rich oil property of 100 acres
in the Bartlesyille oil field, just
over the Cherokee-Osage line.
Several wells on the land have
already been sunk and all have
produced, a 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 II 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. G, 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 Ske!ton, argued Thursday on
this demurrer. Attorneys for
defendant Moore will argue the
demurrer on his behalf on Mon
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 a 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 a few
days since. SHELTON is from
Pennsylvania and Wilhite lives
at Bartlesville.
The story Of this transaction
is about thus, according to the
Plaintiffs bill:
Wilhite and Skelton had bar
gained for the purchase Of
"lease "A" for sis, 900, Of
which Wilhite was to put up
s3, 1000. SHELTON did not ap-
pear at the appointed time, at
the bank, to consummate the
transaction and as Wilhite had
to go 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
compel them to take his 50 900.

MAY NAME RAMSAY.
Commissioners to Be Given Another
Chance at Truancy Officer.

As a compromise candidate J. A.
Ramsay, of Topeka, has been entered
in the contest for county truancy
officar.
County Supt. Wright named George
Bushong, of Richland. Bushong is a
Democrat, and the commissioners
seemed to be opposed to him and have
delayed electing him, on Wright's rec
ommendation. for two months. The
last time the matter was UP, on No
vember 16, the commissioners post
poned the matter until December IA.
Mr.. Ramsay appeared before the board
this morning and informed them that
Supt. Wright would name him for
truancy officer if the board was salts
fed with him. Ramsay is a Repub-
lican and was county superintendent
of Anderson county at one time. The
board will first determine whether a
man living in the city can hold the
county truancy office.

THEY LIKE QUARTERLY.
People Approve Mr.. Coburn's Dairy
ing Pamphlet.

The office Of the state board of agricul-
ture is flooded just now with letters COM
mending the recent quarterly issued by
the department, treating of modern dairy
ing, and nearly every letter makes re-
quests for additional copies Of the quar-
terly. They come from all classes of peo-
pie. The creamery men say that the in
formation in the report is very helpful in
teaching farmers how to get the best re-
suits from their cows; the bankers say
that their farmer patrons ask them for
the report and the county officials say
the same thing.
A letter has also been received in the
department Of agriculture from Meredith
Hunt of ConStantinople, asking that some
of Secretary Coburn's reports be sent 10

Bulgarian Gym, at Razgood. Bulgaria He
says NJ. Petroff saw an account of some

to sending the reports.
