TULSA OIL MEN
RAISING FUND
T0PR0SECUTE
JOHN TURNER, A WEWOkA At
ToRNEY, WHO KILLED MAX
COIN, A PROMINENT LEASE
MAN, IN HoLDENVlLLE.

Tulsa, Okla, Sept. 25,-Oil men
at a mass meeting in Hotel Tulsa
last night started fund to assist in
the prosecution of John Turner, We
woka attorney, who killed Max Cohn,
prominent lease man, in the Keystone
hotel, Holdenville, last Monday. Every
large oil company, it is said, will con
tribute to the fund, which may reach
several hundred dollars.
Able counsel will be employed to
assist the county attorney OF Hughes
county when Turner's case comes up
for trial.
The oil men were very indignant
when the learned that Turner was
released on $4,000 bail after his pre-
liminary hearing.
The attitude of the interior depart
ment relative to full blood leases in
the Holdenville country has also
caused great Indignation on the part
of the oil fraternity, who claim the
department is simply playing into the
hands of a bunch of grafters.
The Indian agent endeavored to fix
the amount of bonus upon fullblood
leases after the oil company, through
its agent, and the allottee had come
to a satisfactory agreement In some
instances the agency insisted in doub.
ling and even trebling the amount
agreed upon. 1t is said that certain
interests represented to Indian Agent
Parker leases there were going too
cheap, with a view of getting the
legitimate buyers out of the way that
they might grab the leases for little
or nothing.
Since the Holdenville well blew up,
the big oil compahies have refused to
take many of such leases at any
price. Consequently Poor Lo in many
instances lost all, whereas, if he had
been allowed to sell his lease at the
price originally agreed upon he
would now have several hundr9ds
dollars of easy money and in some
cases several thousand dollars.

the story moved as if on stills, and

DUCIO On BOTH SIDES OF THE INTER ALTON
AL LINE. -

There is no longer any doubt that
the greatest development of the valley
during the next year is to be i'm the
cotton industry, and SO far as thr
American side OF the line is concerned
the growth will be mainly in the df-
reetion of the medium long staple
Durango.
The factors which are working to
this development lie mainly a long
ways from Imperial Valley The old
South is drifting into less production.
i'm part because of the depredations
of the boil wcevil, and still more be
cause a higher standard of farming is
growing up in the South. with rota-
tion of crops and consequent smaller
cotton acreage.
Then, too, the great European war
is burning up millions of bales of cot
ton in the form of powder, and there
is reason to believe the end of the
war will bring great demand and a
dearth of supply.
The thread manufacturers have dis
covered the valleys long staple and
have found il highly desirable for
their special purposes, thus adding to
the demand for this product.
