In the case of Ambrose Miller
against Oscar r. Howard, Judge
Hughes, in the district court Of
Creek County, at Sapulpa, recently
took occasion to make some peril
nent remarks concerning a class Of
lawyers that has been making a
great deal of trouble for oil oper-
ators in Oklahoma. He said that as
long as the lease is Of moderate or
small value no one questions the
title, but when development and in
vestment have improved the value
of the lease and consequently the
royalty, people come into the
courts with allegations of fraud and
chicanery to bolster up pseudo
claim to the property
Judge Hughes said that there
had been a number of such cases in
the past and probably would be in
the future or as long as the oil in
dustry continued to develop the
country, but he thought the men
who were making the oil industry
what it is should have some meas
ure of protection against fake law
suits which cost them a great deal
OF money to defend.
At the very outset Judge Hughes
said that he was going to allow the
widest latitude in the testimony so
that nobody could go away from
the courthouse and say they had
not received a square deal. And he
did just that. At the end of the
testimony the defendant announced
that he was willing to submit the
case without argument.
The other side took an hour and
was cut off by the Judge with the
statement that he did not care to
hear anything further, that all the
testimony showed that there was
not the slightest ground for the
bringing of the suit and that the at
torneys ought to be ashamed OF
themselves for seriously contcnding
that they had any equities in the
matter,
The Miller case is one of a dozen
which clutter up the dockets OF the
various state and federal courts in
Oklahoma. The Miller case is typi-
cal. As long as oil and gas were
not found on the allotments nobody
wanted the land. In fact, everybody
SHE'D away from Creek lands be
cause most of them are notoriously
unfit for cultivation or for any pur-
pose except producing oil.
As soon as oil in paying quaint
ties is found along comes a gang OF
harpies with all sorts of claims. The
Miller case was founded on the al
legation cf Miller that at the time
he sold the royalty for $4,000 ne
was drunk, that the people who
wanted to buy the royalty piled him
with liquor till he was stupihcd and
did not know what ne was doing
when he made the sale The sale
was made in 1914 and it took Miller
more than three years to find out

With the American Army in
France, March 2 (Saturday).-A
plan of attack, including map OF
the American positions, indicating
every dugout, which was removed
from the body of a Prussian captain
who led the recent assault upon the
sector of the recent assault upon the
sector northwest OF Toul, shows
how completely the Germans pre-
pare their raids-if, in fact, this was
but q simple raid, not having as its
ultimate object the retention of a
portion of the salient.
The map goes into such detail as
to show every machine gun en-
placement, every trench and every
depression in the ground within the
American lines, At the bottom
there is simply a line drawn, lab
eled "our front line" Along this
line are five shaded portions, each
marked NEST"
Troops Especially Picked.
Four rehearsals were held for the
attack and the troops who made it
were especially picked from new ar
rivals of fresh troops in the sector.
They were told that the Americans
were in front OF them.
After the artillery had nearly lev
eled the American position the Ger
mans started out from their nests,
each of which contained 40 infan-
trymcn, one Lieutenant and three
pioneers to precedc the infantry and
FIVE to follow it. The two groups
upon the American extreme right
went around this flank and the
group upon the extreme left car
ried out similar movement there
The two groups in the center had
planned to attack directly, but the
American defense changed all the
plans. When they we're met by the
heavy machine gun fire from the
American lines, they saw it would
be impossible to gain footing
there, changed their direction and
followed the other groups around
the flank.
To Clean Up Wire.
The duty of the pioneers preccd-
ing the infantry was to clean up any
wire that had not been broken by

followed carried large dnnatities OF
