PAIR FREED OF
KIDNAPPING GIRL
Case Grew Out of Signing
Deed to Oil Land by
Indian Girl

L smlssal Of the kidnapping charges
against A. b. Reese, oil operator and
w. II. McNutt. oklahoma university
student were ordered yesterday by
Justice A. y. Watson at the recon-
mendation of T. l.. wallace. assistant
county attorney. The charges were
filed in August and grew out of the
signing OF II deed 10 her valuable
oil lands near Red Fork by Mile
Naharkey, Creek Indian.
Reese and McNutt were accused
or kidnapping the Indian girl and
spiriting her into Missouri Il week
before she became OF age. The day
she became OF age, II was alleged
they obtained her signature to the
deed. The deed was later sold to
Grant Stehbins. The case has been
continued from time to time since
II was filed and when finally called
for trial yesterday II developed, ac-
cording TO wallace, that there was
no testimony to bear out the charges.
The two accused men had taken
the Naharkey girl her mother and
brother on fishing trip into the
Ozark hills in Missouri a week before
the girl became OF age. IL was dur
ing this outing that the girl signed
the deed. The girls signature was
fairiy secured and she received q
fair remuneration for the PROPERTY
according to what little evidence
was taken.
In making the dismissal, Justice
Watson observed that it appeared to
him az IL the Gladys Belle oil COM
pany Of which Grant Stebbins is
the head and other parties were
fighting for the lease and that Steb-
bins just outwitted his opponents.
There are several civil suits pending
in court IN which final disposition
Of the allotment is at stake. Steb-
bins, the Gladys Belle oil company,
stephen b. Nelson. former guardian
for the girl, the Naharkeys and the
federal government are all inter
ested.
