appear when his name was called
by Judge j. X. Clark last Friday
morning, and, after making a
record of the case. returned to
his post to watch for other viola
tors OF the city ordinance which
prohibits careless manipulation Of
motor car steering wheels.
The sheriff did not appear for
hearing for the reason that
Brown had communicated with
Chief of Police f. n. Burns, who
in turn. talked with the county
officer and ascertained the actual
circumstances of the case. The

OLLTON. July 31.-Making use of
an oil well shooters wagon as means
of escaping suspicion was successfully
manipulated by bootlegger in the
Bartlesville field, according to Will
liam Hopkins. city marshal of Jen-
nings. who was in that section of the
state when the disguise of the boot
Logger was finally uncovered. This
fact was recalled to Hopkins mind re-
Gently after reading of the attempt in
the Healdton field several days ago to
arerst the driver of nitroglycerine
wagon as bootlegger. The man in
he Healdton actually had nitro and
also had narrow escape.
The fellow in the Bartlesville field.
according to Hopkins. got hold of a
nitro glycerine wagon in some man
ner and drove il to and from the Kan
sas state line into BartleSville and the
oil field there for a long time before
he was detected. No person suspected
that the driver was not what he pre-
tended to be and there are but few
persons who have any desire to get
close to nitroglycerine wagon.
The cans which hang on the side Of
the wagon and contain the nitrogly-
cerine, were used instead to contain
whisky and 1t proved to be one of the
most successful Bookkeeping stunts
ever pulled off in the state. Finally
some fellow tipped him off to the Of
ficers and he was arrested.

CUSHING, July 3l-"The Euchee
band of Indians came TO this section
of the old Indian Territory about
sixty years ago" was the statement
made here yesterday by Mat Duhr, the
veteran newspaper man and Indian
authority. Duhr was visiting the oil
field, coming from Gushing, his pre-
sent headquarters.
The Euchce were strange, wild
band. about six hundred souls" said
Duhr They came here from the
northwest and made their first camp
at the mouth Of Euche creek where
il emptieS into the CimarrOn, one mile
north of Pemeta. They could not
speak the language of any tribe in this
locality. SO they pointed at themselves
and said 'OOChce. II is believed that
they were runaways from the popu-
lous tribe of Utes in the far north
west
"Thc Creek Indians opposed the
coming of the Euchees and fought
them, finally subduing and enslavng
the entire band, or all they didn't Kill.
Perhaps three hundred remained.
They were held slaves until after the
civil war When the Greeks were al
lotted, the Euchees were also given
land and those who are still living
are among the most Industrious and
Well-fiXed Indian citizens of the state.
Some of the were made immensely
wealthy through oil and gas being
found on their allotmcnts in this To-
cality."

SACKS MADE FROM
OLD OIL FIELD ROPE
Not Very Long Way from "a Crude
Oil Field to Paper
Factory.
Special TO The World.


OlLTON. July 3l.--It would seem,
naturally. that 1t Is long way from
an oil well to a paper factory, yet in

IN winch eggs, pototocs and such are
tOted' home from market are a by
product of the oil field All the old
manila rope, and there is an immense
lot OF 1t worn out and thrown aside in
an oil field, is used in the manufac-
ture OF these paper sacks. This old
rope, the odds and ends of the oil
iield game, is worth about three cents
a pound to seel for paper manufac-
lure. according to c. G. lie Clare OF
Pittsburgh, Pa, a representative of
the Plymouth Cordage company who
has been visiting this field during the
past week.
Frequently in travelling over the oil
field, Il wagon loaded with the old
discarded rope may be seen 1t is be-
lng hauled to Oilton or one of the
ether towns of this district for ship
ment. Mr. lie Clare declared that a
paper factory located at some certain
point in this field would be a profit
able business, inasmuch as this is the
greatest oil field and the amount OF
cid rope TO be collected far exceeds
that of other fields.
ure in an oil field because Of the great
amount used, yet by far the most rope
manufactured, Mr.. lie Clare says Is
for use on the high seas. Nevertheless
it was for the greatest oil magnate
in the world that the largest piece OF
rope made was turned last week Il
was for John d. Rockefeller and for
use as a hawser line on one Of his
ocean-going oil steamers. This rope
was 7 l-2 inches in diameter. Next to
this the largest ropes turned out were
those for the United states govern
ment in raising the Spanish ships that
were sunk during the war with Spain.
and for the Brazilian government for
use in towing its transports.

clear water lakes and rivers may be
used again for rope manufacture

OILTON, Okla, July Sl.-The oil
field holds many secrets one OF
these was revealed yesterday through
an injury to V. a. Sappenfield, for
many years a well known figure in
Muskogee social and business circles,
who for about six weeks past has been
working as a tank builder for w. NJ
Parker and others, who are building
he Pemeta oil refining plant. The
injury is 10 Mr. Sappenfield's right
oyes. While working with other men,
swinging a heavy hammer to rivet the
tan ktogcther q piece Of steel broke
off and struck Sappenfied's right eye
damaging the eyeball ana otherwise
seriously injurng the eye. Local
medical men say it is doubtful if the
eye can be saved; consequently the
injured man was accompanied today
TO Tulsa for an expert examination.
Slppenfleld was working as a
'tankie' in order TO reCuperate his
health, and it was his intention to put
the entire summer in this line or
work, He had been employed at desk
work for many years, damaging to his
health, and came to Pemeta with
the intention of seeking muscle-mak-
ing, appetite producing employment
At that time the Pemeta refinery was
just being started and Sappenfield
asked for and was given employment
as a tank builder. Thus far he has
helped build six 1600-barrel steel
tanks.
For two weeks, Sappenfield worked
as a "bucker-up,' holding the dolly
ba""-a heavy piece of iron-against
the rivet heads while the hammer
swingers clinch the red-hot heads on
the outside of the tank. The dolly
bar" is suspended on cables. thus re-
lieving the "bucker-up" from its
weight AS fast as the riVet heaters
stick the red hot rivets through the
holes in the steel, the 'bucker-up"
places the dolly bar" against the
rivet heads The men with the ham
mers then clinch them with big,
heavy, muscular swings.

one Tffett, known in Drumright as
"Three-Day Red" was killed by a
pistol shot fired by Earl White, bar

occurred.
Details of the occurrence are rather
meagre but from the best account
obtainable the fight started over the
affections of Minnie Allen, the woman
who killed Oglesby at Norfolk, not
long ago, she being now at large un-
der bond. 1t soon developed into a
healthy "free-for-all" and Tiffett is
alleged to have hit White over the
head w&h an empty beer bottle
White retaliated by striking Tiffet'
over the head with an automatic who
now claims that the gun was dis
