OIL FIND ENR|CHES
POOR INDIAN GIRL
Exie Fife, of Creek Tribe, Now
Has Income of ST, ESQ
a Day.
BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.

BY Associated Press TO Every Evening.
Muskogee, Okla. Aug. 22.-After
having spent the nineteen years of
her life in the most abjest poverty,
Exie Fife, a Creek Indian, OF McIn-
tosh county, finds herself with q daily
income Of $3.50.
So far she has made three pur-
chases. a s2.s0o touring car. an ss5
saddle for her brother and a ward
robe trunk.
But Exie has had only very small
part Of the fortune, the size of which
is remarkable even in this country OF
great welath made overnight In the
oil fields.
Picture, IL you can, the shabbies,
of unpainted shacks. standing faI
back from a dirt road in q grove OF
trees. Half a mile up the road il
Fame, a settlement of two stores and
a half dozen houses.
In this setting Exile Fife was borr
in August, 1903, of full-blooded Creel
Indian parents. When she was twr
years old her parents filed a govern
ment claim in her name and she re
ceived an allotment Of $50 acres o
land in Creek and Okfuskee counties
For seventeen years she received
royalties OF few dollars from thi
land. Then, last June, an oil well
which made 5000 barrels, was brough
in on Exies allotment. Two week
ago another well, making 1000 bar
rels, was brought in, and four NOR
Wells are being drilled.
All of which makes Exile one O
the richest girls in this part Of tn
. country. She says:
! Before no one ever came to Sc
, me no one ever wrote to me. NOV
people write all the time and man
} come to see me every day. Isn't
funuy?"

MRS. BURKETT PLEADS
FOR LIBERTY FROM CELL

INDIANAPOLIS. Ind, March, Is
Although imprisoned for attempting
to defraud Theodore Roosevelt's es-
tate out of s6s.S0o. Mrs. Emma Bur-
kett of Hilisdale, Ind, has reached
the ears of two governors in pro-
testing her innocence, but her plea
will be in vain. Gov. Warren 7. Nc
Cray Of Indiana announced.
'I do not believe any injustice Is
being done her." he said. referring to
her Imprisonment under a charge OF
having forged Mr.. Roosevelts name
to a note which was presented for
collection after his death. Later she
was convicted and imprisoned in New
York.
Recently Gov. McCray said he re-
ceived a letter signed Guy Covei.
who said he forged the note. and
asked. "in the name of justice" that
he seek Mrs. Burkett's freedom. The
governor said he referred it to Gov
Miller of New York. and had been
informed that Mrs. Burkett had
smuggled the letter from her cell
after writing it. and had sent it to
the Indiana governor.
Gov. McCray said he had written
Gov. Miller. expressing the belief that
