BURK BURNETT, OIL MAN,
AND TEXAS RANCHER, DIES
Owned Over 800, 900 Acres of Best
Grazing Land in State-Town
Named for Him.
By the Associated PRO

By the Associa ted Press.
FORT WORTH. Tex. June 81
Capt. S. Burk Burnett, oil man,
rancher and owner of hundreds of
thousands of acres of Texas land, died
at his home here early today. He had
but his condition became alarming
only yesterday. He was born in Mis-
souri, in 1S49.
The famous oil town. Burkburnett
was named after him. and in addi-
ton to his vast grazing lands Capt
Burnett's oil interests were immense
His land was among the first in Texas
to reveal presence of the golden fluid
Capt. Burnett also. was a dominant
figure in the commercial development
of the southwest. He had stock in
numerous banks and other Industrial
and commercial concerns. A pioneer
resident of Texas. to which he was
brought by his parents at the age of
eight years, Capt. Burnett literally
carved his fortune from the wild and
woolly west.
In that decade the cattle Industry
occupied the commercial life of Texas
and young Rurnetts attention was
turned to 1t. He set about to improve
the strain of the range cattle and
brought the first pure bred bull to
Texas.
In 1875 Capt. Burnett had developed
his holdings to 10000 acres. His sense
of justice enabled him to become
friendly with the Indians. and, per-
ceiving wasteful misuse of their
lands, Capt. Burnett leased 10000
acres for grazing. That maneuver
laid the foundation for the great for
tune he built up. In 1900 he pur-
chased the famous 666 ranch in King
county, which includes more than
100000 acres. He also possessed the
Dixon Creek ranch in Carson county
of more than 100000 acres.
