POOR IMMIGRANT STUNG BY
REAL ESTATE SHARK NOW
A MILLIONAIRE

walked down the gangplank from the
steerage of an emigrant ship ana land
ed on Ellis island. He had 500 In
Syrian money. also a railroad ticket
to Bartlesville. Okla.
Today, accordin to estimates of the
most conservative bankers in that part
of the country Musselman is worth
more than S2,500,0OO. He travels IN
his six-cylinder automobile and is one
of the big figures in the Oil fields.
1t all happened because MuSselman
bought ~ acres of land lying along
the Cimarron river, just one hall
miles south of the present site OF
Hilton, near Winfield. Kansas,
He paid $s6O5O for the tract and,
although at the time he believed he
was doing the best he could in new
country he subsequently decided that
he had been most ungracionsly stuns
| by strangers.
! real estate agent had told him of
this tract. had described it as good
bottom land on which a fine farm
might be developed, and being of
trusting disposition, Musselman had
bought it sight and unseen as it
We're, and had contracted to pay in
installments.
With his remaining capital Mussel-
man bought an aged horse and two
wheeled cart. on which he loaded all
his belongings, and drove out to his
farm. There he discerned a picture
in reality of rocks and hollows sue
ceeding one another, with not enough
level space for good sized family
garden.
Would Sell at Any Price.
He was disguised and returned to
town where he first made Intellectual
efforts to resell this holding of realty
for 500. then reduced the price to
$75, to 1925 and ultimately found that
nobody would pay him even as low as
$40 for his holdings
Financially broke. Musselman went
to Keifer. where he obtained employ
ment as a day laborer. out of his
earnings and Notwithstanding knoWl-
edge that his land was worthless, this
Syrian managed to meet his deferred
payments thereon
At that time the Gushing oil field
was gradually spreading northward
and Robert L. McFarlin, of the Nc
Mann Oil company. had the Mussel-
man tract inspected by a geoloGist
who reported on it favorably.
Then the search began for the own
err, extending several months. and
ultimately resulting in Musselman be-
ing located at Kiefer. patiently plod-
ding at whatever toll he found avail
able.
Now Worth Wilions.
McFarlin leased the tract for 81 per
acre per year. making a total of $72
annually At that time. Musselman
has since declared he would have sold
the entire tract for $72, If it had been
offered him.
Developments came rapidly after
the land had been leased. and there
the McMann company made one of
its big strikes in the north" oil pool
The flow was excellent.
Musselman heard of the strike. He
knew more about business than he did
when he landed on Ellis Island and
he got good contract from the com
pany.
Ever since then he has been living
in clover and getting richer hourly
to an extent far surprising the fond
est dreams of wealth gain in America
ever entertained by any immigrant.
The tract is producing 10000 to $4,000
barrels of oil per day and is worth
over $2.000.O00.

Letter for Supplies

Chicago, July T.-General Pershing' S
army in France is to have baseballs,
bats, masks and gloves, despite the ac-
tivity of the German submarines which
sent to the bottom of the Atlantic ocean
the American steamship Kansan with
enough baseball supplies to equip $50
clubs.
The baseball paraphernalia carried by
the kansan was sent through the efforts
of Clark Griffith, manager Of the Wash
ington American League team. who sew
eral weeks ago started chain letter to
collect % cents from each of his friends
to supply soldiers in the American army
with baseball outfits. When the receipts
totalled close to $1,000 Griffith purchased
the supplies and shipped them to France
on tie Kansan.
Griffith. who is here today, started an
other chain letter AMI asks everyone who
contributed on the first call to send in
another quarter. When the new subscrip-
ton reaches a sufficient sum he will
start another consignment across the Az
lantic
