TULSA GIRL SUES
RICH OIL. MAN
FOR LARGE SUM
CHARGES BREACH OF PROM
ISE TO MARRY; WANTS
$4,000 HEART BALM

Tulsa, Okla, Nov. 2S,--A sensational
suit was filed in the superior court
here against II. s. Ayres, president OF
the Southern Oil corporation, by
Mazda Horn, in which she alleges the
wealthy oil man entered into con
tract last April to marry her during
the month of October. She says he
failed to carry out the contract and
that during the time between its con
ception and until recently she allowed
him intimacies which otherwise she
would not have permitted. She asks
$25. 900 damages.
Shortly after the contract was en-.
tered into, the plaintiff says Ayres
gave her money to go TO Kansas City
and told her he would follow in n
couple of days. She says she selected
her trousseau and wedding outfit but
that Ayres did not come as agreed
for her. After waiting a week she
returned to Tulsa without her we'd
ding finery, as she had no money TO
pay for It,
Ayres is claimed to have explained
things satisfactorily and arrange
ments went forward for the wedding.
Later he and the Horn woman took
room in hotel and shortly after
moved to the Reames rooms, where
he is said to have visited her fire.
luently.
Miss Horn claims she sold her resi-
dence and pawned her jewelry during
this time.
In September she says Ayres began
to lore interest in her and when she
pressed him to fulfill the terms OF
the contract he told her he was a
married man and could not marry
her.
She says now she has sold her home,
her jewelry is gone and she has been
forced to seek employment to obtain
livelihood.
