LACK OF INTEREST AMONG MEN
FAILED TO SECURE THE RE-
CURED NUMBER OF PETITION
ERS.. ALL FAVOR IT.

On account of lack of interest
among tire cattlemen of this county
there was not enough signatures Sc
cured to the petition asking that the
work be taken up for the county
commissioners to act upon the ques-
tion legally therefore the matter will
have to be deferred until another
year. Many of the cattlemen were
sorely disappointed over the turn OF
affairs and they were heard to re-
mark that they would install dipping
watts of their own before they would
take chances on loosing cattle by the
ticks. The petition should have been
presented to the board of county
commissioners last Monday but the
board has been in session every day
since and when the petition finally
was handed in it was found that it
lacked the required munger of names
to make it legal.
Nothing further can be done in
this matter until another time but
many private tanks will be construc-
ted in the county.

til the infantry again leaves the

next attacks will be launched.
The capture of trench on a 1000,

heavy attacks on the British near

the artillery is destroying the German

INDIAN WOMAN
WINS BIC SUIT
ON OIL LAND
RAYSON WESLEY LANDS THAT
WILL GIVE UP A QUARTER OF
A MILLION IN WEALTH SOLD
FOR $4,000.

This morning in distric. court the
case of Louisa Wesley vs. ThJnvson
ct al, was up for final hearing and
resulted in victory for the plaintiff
This was one of the most important
suits ever tried here as it involved
some Of the richest deposits in the
Healdton field and is IA distinct VIC
tory for Attorney ]. Il. Moore, and
Geo. f. Short, counsel for The plain
tiff. The land involved is situated
in sections and 10 and consisted of
1870 acres. Leases had been secured
from the allottee prior to his death
by the Gates Oil company and othe
by the Gates Oil company and other
companies in which it was stipulated
that ose eightr of the oil secured
was to go as a royalty to the lessor.
At the time the contract was made
there were six producing wells on the
property producing 2400 barrels of
oil daily, the royalties from the six
original wells was bringing in APP
proximately three thousand dollars
per month. w. II. Thompson secur-
ed from Louisa Wesley, alleged to
be old and incompetent Indian an as
signment of this royalty for the pay
ment of ninety dollars per month
for ten years and cash bonus of
three hundaed dollars.
The court found this morning
that the consideration was grossly
inadequate that Louisa Wesley yas
wholly incompetent. and that the
terms of the contract were never eX-
planned to her by the Interpreter or
any one in her behalf, that there was
not a melting of the minds as be-
tween her and Thompson, that she
did not know what she was doing
when she executed the contract and
if she had any idea at all she
thought she was making a lease, he
further found that the county court
did not comply with the mandates
of the law inc that the order was
made without taking any testimony
and the deferred payments were not
secured by mortgage as required by
the statutes.
In view of the fact that there were
six producing wells and six others
in course of drilling and that 80
acres of the land was in proven ter
ritory, the court held that the prop
erty at the time of the assignment
was worth at least fifty thousand dol
lars
The property today is considered |
some of the most valuable in the !
Healdton field.
The suit has attracted widespread !
attention among the oil operators all |
over the state on account of the value
Of the property and the terms under
Which the assignment of the royal
ties were secured.
Thomas Norman of this city was ap-
pointed by the court last November
to take charge of the money obtained |
from the sale of oil from the Wesley |
lands and as a result he has about |
S21 900 in cash to be turned over TO /
the department to her credit.
