Wife Slayer Freed And
Scandal Is flushed Up

DUBLIN, Jan. 15.---For lack of a
prosecutor, Matt Edwards. the white
man who shot and fatally wounded
his wife in this county December 81,
was released yesterday at his commit
ment trial before Judge Kane. Ed
wards son, who swore out the war
rant, stated after the trial that he
would rather let his father 90 free
than to further air the old family
quarrel.
A feature of the trial was a petit
ton presented by the defense, sign
ed by lat people, neighbors Of Ed
wards, which asked that he be re-
leased, as the killing was in their
opinion entirely justifable, and that
Edwards was a quiet, inoffensive man
in normal life The petition also re-
quested the grand jury not to indict
Edwards.
Edwards made statement short
ly after surrendering to the sheriff
in which he stated he fired not at his
wife but at the man who had her in
his arms with his wife very scantily
clad and holding the woman as a
shield between himself and the angry
husband.

( ,lored laprobe, to keep the occupants
warm. Five-passenger cars, road
sters. small cars of a widely known
I variety aren't seen in Pawhuska. The
Indians won't have them. 1t would
make the owners look cheap, they
say. They tell a good story here of
how a motor car whose catalogue
starts with little old $4,000 figure,
lost its popularity.
1T was too heavy" its agent ex-
planned sorrowfully. at was meant
for eastern boulevards, not Oklahoma
hills"
Anyway, a fellow came in town
who was selling a $500 machine.
What chance did I have?"
The Minnehoma we'll, the third at
tempt on the northwest quarter of sec
I ton 14-26-8, was brought in Deem
Der 81, 1919. 1t came with rip
about $3.50 o'clock in the afternoon,
spelling Happy New Year" to it's
owners. Here are some actual fig
ures on Minnehoma, what it means to
the local owners, to the Minnehoma
men, to the Usage Indians who are
sitting placidly by and watching the
land they own spout gold dollars.
10000 Barrels Lowest
The lowest estimate on the Mime
homa's earning capacity is 10000 bar
r.'s a day, the highest estimate is
$4,000 barrels, a medium estimate is
5000. The oil is selling at So a
barrel. That makes the Minnehoma
gush worth $4,000 day to the In
dams and to the Iessees. Give the
Indians their 20 per cent cut-that
makes $4,000 day for their COM
munity poland $35, 900 for the less
ees. Give the Minnehoma Company
its fve-eighths of that $4,000, that
makes $22,500 a day for it's stock
holders and $13, 500 for the three To-
cal stockholders. Divide that 1880
three ways. That makes exactly
$4,000 day for Jackson, Worten and
DR.. Henry G. Carton, all of Paw
huska. Let's see, $4,000 a day is
$27, 900 week, granting it's a 6-day
week; chat $108,000 a month.
1t was just two weeks ago the
Minnehoma "came in''-"came i'm
with roar that blew the tools out of
the derrick, spattered oil all over the
countryside to the south and made
its owners and a hastily collected
crew of men work frantically all
night building dams in draw" to a
nearby creek to hold the oil which
was collecting faster than they
could work.
A rush to this town resembling the
old ''forty-niners day" in California
would attend the announcement of
the Minnehoma discovery were it not
for one thing. That is that all the
land in the country is owned by the
Usage Indians and leases are sold
only by the government at public
auction. Those auctions are NAM
moth affairs and the bidding is al
ways spirited. Leases sold at the last
auction brought more than 6 million
dollars. What the figure will be Feb
ruary 3, when the next auction will
be held, cannot even be estimated.
The lease to che southeast quarter of
l4-26-8, just a half mile away from
the Minnehoma gusher, is one of those
to be knocked off by the auctioneer's
hammer. The fight for it will be q
battle royal, Pawhuska predicts.

June Caprice Never
Better than in "In
Walked Mary"

When the bewitching features of
June Caprice are flashed on the
screen, there is nothing to it but
settling back in ones seat and en-
joying oneself. That will be the case
this afternoon and tonight at the Co
lonial theatre when this wonderfully
fascinating young star appears in
her latest photoplay I'm Walked
Mary"
June Caprice has an art all her
own. And only four years ago she
was a school girl in Boston, going to
the theatre to see her own favorites
in the movies. Now school girls and
others all over the country go to see
her and to laugh at her escapades
and to sympathiZe with her in the
troubles in which she finds herself.
Colonial patrons are already we'll &C
quainted with her ,consummate art.
and they'll find new cause for salts
faction in this truly big Pathe fea-
ture today.
The old adage has it that Fools
walk in where angels fear to tread /"
One could not call charming June
Caprice a fool but she surely forgot
all the nice rules of conventionality
when she calmly walked in to New
York bachelor apartment on the
night of all nights when merry gaiety
was at it's height. The surprising
thing is that she walks right in, looks
around, and. after the first gasp of
amaZement is mistress of the situa-
ton. New York bachelors, somehow
have the screen reputation of being
blood thirsty creatures who lie in
wait for little girls reputation. be-
hind hotel furniture or ball room
palms. 1t is distinctly a pleasure to
find in "In Walked Mary" a real nice
bachelor and the kind of person any
little girl would be glad. to show to
mother
In Walked Mary" is distinctly a
comedy drama. 1t tells of a poor
southern girl who comes to New
York seeking aid from a man who
had once promised to help lar if she
ever needed assistance. Needing
help, Mary walked in, but it was at
an inopportune time, as Mary's ben
efactor was just about to be married.
We say Just about to be" because
Mary has a little something to saw
about the marriage To tell Won
would be to spoil the whole picture,
I'm Walked Mary" is one of the
sprightliest comedy dramas which
has shown in the Colonial theatre
for long time.
Bears of the Yellowstone" is an
other one of those enjoyable Finley
motion pictures that will be shown
today. There will also be a brand
new Century comedy and the Pathe
Review.-Adv.
