Pawhuska.-The greatest sale OF Oil
leases in the history of the oil busi-
ness was held at Pawhuska. More
money will be netted to the Usage In
dams as the result Of this sale than
any other similar sale in the entire
history of the oil industry.
Not only were, bidders here from all
parts of the country, but most OF the
large producing companies were rep
resented.
AS the result of the bidding Thurs
day afternoon more than $1,364, 45O in
bonuses was realized to the Indians.
Two thousand six hundred and sew
enty barrels of production were sold,
bringing an average Of $500 per barrel,
which in view Of the high prices that
producing properties are now bringing
in other parts of Oklahoma, is a very
low price.
Prairie Gets Bargain.
The largest single sale of the after
noon was tract embracing fifteen oil
wells with a total production of 1890
barrels, which went to the Prairie Oil
and Gas Company, after spirited fight
with the Sinclair Oil Company, the
Barnsdall Oil Company and the Okla
homa Oil Company. In this bid the
auctioneer raised the bid by thous-
ands until it reached the sum Of $461,-
600, when Nelson X. Moody, vice pres
ident of the Prairie Company, raised 1t
to 100000, ending the bidding in a
hurry. This was the biggest bargain
of the afternoon, as only 1880 barrels
additional was sold for which the sue
cessful bidders paid over 100000.
Just prior to that sale. when Tract
81 was offered, another spirited fight
was waged when Watt Young, general
superintendent of the Barnsdale Oil
Company, started the bidding in an eff
fort to save to his company portion
of the leases that under the rules and
regulations of his company was forced
to place on the market. The bidding
early ran into large figures until none
but N. X. Moody, representing the Prai-
rie Oil and Gas Company and W. L.
Connolly of the Sinclair OIL Company
were left. These gentlemen, sitting
side by side on the same bench, nod
ded alternately at the auctioneer as
Colonel Walters ran the figures up, I'M
til the property was knocked down to
Mr.. Connolly for the sum of $224,000.
Other Tracts Sold.
The Oklahoma Oil Company was an
other big bidder at the afternoon ses-
sion. That concern secured leases for
which it paid total of more than $685.

and Southwestern Oil Company, bid in

the sum of $207,S97, it being the first

Shamrock.-Horses and mules are
at premium in the oil field, and for

is an insufficient number to do the

he could use one hundred additional
teams, while oil men generally main
tain that 400 additional teams could
be used in the Shamrock territory.

WOULD ELIMINATE THE
WORD DAMN" FROM
PRAYER BOOK

New York, September Is
Elimination of the word damn"
fron the Episcopal prayer book
and t!le substitution of the word
condemn" is recommended by
the commission on revision of the
prayer book, in a report to be
submitted to the triennial conven-
ton OF the Protestant Episcopal
church at St. Louis next month.
1t is proposed to change the
disapproved word in parts Of the
Scripture when it is quoted in
the liturgical services. The COM
mission argues that "condmen"
is a correct translation of the
Greek word. The commissioners
suggest that damn is harsh, in
terferes with the beauty of the
service and that its use in church
has d. bad influence on the little
children and young.

FAKE GHOST ACCUSES
MAN AS MURDERER

New York, Sept. 25.-A recon
structed skeleton of a murdered
man today resulted in the trap
ping by the police of his alleged
slayer. The skeleton dug up sew
eral days ago, was believed by the
Brooklyn police to be that of
Dominik La Rose, who myster-
iously disappeared two years ago.
With the use of wax face and
a tin can for a neck and some of
La Roses clothers they made the
skeleton resemble a man. More
than a score of men were sum
moned from the Italian quarter
and all of them were taken into
the room where the skeleton was
sitting in chair.
MY God! 1t is La Roses
ghost" screamed one of the wo-
men. Then she turned and began
to beat Giovanni Ramona, a lead
er in the Italian colony, who was
in the room, screaming;
why did you kill him?"
A charge of murder was imme-
diately lodged against him.

Deplore Outside Interference
1--WE deplore and condemn the
tendency to outside interference
with such authority Of the state,
as by law, custom and tradition
belong to the state, and especially
do we condemn as dangerous and
threatening to the liberties of the
citizens any usurpation Of au-
thority that would take from the
jurisdiction of the courts within
the state for trial In foreign
jurisdiction, any citizen of this or
any other state. Such a policy is
1In-American and inquisitorial,
and is subversive Of fundamen-

States.

should also be charged with the
collection and dissemination of
data concerning the treatment and
