them before currying their hind legs.
Whereupon the captain said. You

COURT APPROVES
RENEWAL BONUSES

MUSKOGEE, May 81. - Judge
Leahy in county court has informally
accepted the bid of the Prairie Oil d
Gas Co. for renewal of leases on the
Edith Durant and Sallie Hodges allot-
ments in the Glenn pool to be in
force beyond the minority of the
owners as long as oil or gas are found
on the property in paying quantities.
week ago Dana Kelsey for the
Prairie company offered $4,000 for
eaC h lease, but at that time the judge
refused the offer, announcing that he
would approve the extension at fig
ures almost twice as large as finally
accepted. The Prairie secured leases
in 1906 on the Hodges and Durant
farms. making their ownership secure
during minority of the children. The
Hodges girl will become of age IN IA
months and Edith Durant in 10
months, but it was the desire of the
Prairie to cinch the leases at this
time.
In addition to the $4,000 paid in
each case the Prairie company in
creases the royalty interest from one
tenth to one-ei ghth and pays onc-hdlt
the cost OF the appraisement.
