A BIG SALE REPORTED.
Sinclair Syndicate Said to Have Pur.
chased Gainesville Refinery.

Sinclair Syndicate Said to Have Pur-
chased Gainesville Refinery.
1t has been reported here for sew.
eral days that the Sinclair oil syn
dicate has purchased the Gainesville
refinery and eight inch pipe line from
Healdton to Gainesville from the Pro-
ducers Refining Co. The purchase
is said also to include the refinery
belonging to the same company at
Ponca City, Okla. Chas Won Weiss,
local attorney for the company was
asked about the deal and made the
statement that he knew nothing of it
and also that his stock in the Gaines
vile refinery had not been called in
The information we get is that the
deal has been agreed upon, that it
will be finally consummated within
about two weeks from now and that
the sale prce is five and half mil
lion dollars. The Producers Refining
Company has been very diligent in
getting the suits out of the way that
has been filed against the company
growing out of the thirty cent oil con-
tracts and all the suits except two
have been dismissed The two not
taken from the docket are the suits
filed by the Gates and the Healdton
Oil Companies. 1t is understood that
these suits will be dismissed as soon
as the two companies have settled
with the attorneys that conducted the
litigation
The Sinclair people already have
two nice producing properties at
Healdton. They were purchased
from the Healdton Oil and Gas Com
pany and from the Ardworth Oil
Company. The Gainesville refinery
would have these properties back of
it and would also be backed by the
producers who entered into the thir-
ty cent contracts for one year from
July /, as they have given the refin-
cry the preference right Of purchase
at the posted price for that length of
time. The refinery would also have
the support of the Coline Oil Com
pany which is subsidiry of the
Santa Fe which road would naturally
want to keep up The purchase OF
residum for fuel for its engines.

Meena Bauer dorothy Gish), lit
tie Dutch girl living with her father
in n small Pennsylvania town, falls in
love with the Count Won Ritz, who is
peddling clothes wringers as a means
of tiding over gap in his finances.
He suddenly receives remittances
from home, and goes out of her life,
In course of time, Meenas father
dies, leaving her everything he had,
which is a considerable fortune and
taking this in a large telescope bag,
Meena goes to live with her wealthy
aunt in the city. At first her snobbish
relatives are inclined to despise Meena,
whose hatred of dirt impels her to
scrub the brownstone steps; but learn
ing that she has money, they fawn up
on her.
1t so happens that the Count Won
Ritz is now coming to call upon Nee
mas cousin, and when he arrives, he
finds Meena, scrubbing- brush in hand,
on the steps. He naturally supposes
she is the maid, and she, seeing under
his arm some books that he has
brought for the daughter of the house,
takes him for a book-agent. In this
mutual belief, they meet on 'the girls
day out" in the park each week, and
their love progresses nightly.
Upon one occasion, the German am
bassador passes and reminds Won Ritz
of his rank, and that he must not
marry beneath his station. But he per
suades Meena to go with him to a
road house on the outskirts of the city.
While there he is seen by Meena's
cousin.
The outcome of this great situa-
tion. which ends the play is full of
