WHITE SQUkWS SEEK
 ESTATE OF INDIAN

F,airfaS, Okla, Sept. ,6-Two white women today are battling for the rich estate of an aged Osage warrior, each claiming to have been his wife.
 Three Striker, so named because he killed three Cherokees in the last bat tie between that tribe and the Osages, died in an asylum, w. F. McGuire, being appointed administrator of his wealthy estate.
 During his lifetime Three Striker had always longed for a ''pale-face" wife. At the age of seventy he was legally married to a white woman, his tribal wife having died some years before.
 The sea of matrimony became tur- bulent with his white wife. He de- cided that no pale face" should gain his riches, and subsequently he filed suit for annulment of his marriage, Mrs Three Striker drawing $500 monthly alimony.
 Following the death of Three Striker his divorced wife began pro- ceedings to have set aside the annu1- ment decree and laid claim to his holdings. Following publication of the facts in the case another white wom- an now has come forward seeking to gain possession of the estate. The woman claims she was married to Three Striker fifteen years ago and was never legally divorced. The case is docketed in the district court.
