Usage Heirs Give
Big Headache to-
Oklahoma Courts.
One Indian Estate Puzzle:
Grandchildren Are Also
Nieces, Nephews. =.

PAWHUSK.A, OKLA. = Solomon
himself would have found it no easy
task to untangle the involved Okla
homa Indian estate cases cluttering
the dockets of Usage county's courts.
And for the county and probate
judges who are called upon to de-
eide the heirs to millions of dollars
worth of oil property left by wealthy
Osages, the task often approaches
the impossible.
While the Osages were in their
heyday from 1906 to about 1927,
many members of the tribe became
rich on the discovery of oil on their
lands. Then the older members Of
the tribe began to pass on. to their
happy hunting ground, most of them
without making wills.
The Indian inheritance cases start
ed pouring. into county and district
courts.
Settlement Of these cases has been
made more difficult by the fact that
the Osages frequently were polyga-
nous, sometimes having as many as
four wives at one time.
Hazy on Relatives.
Further confusion was created by
the Usage manner Of referring to
their relatives. The Osages called
their grandmothers' sisters grand
mothers" and their brothers-in-law
brother
The Osages, in their language, do
not recognize relationship any far
ther removed than first cousin, and
the Usage word for cousin so closely
resembles the word for brother that
evidence can easily be misin-
terpreted. *a >s 81.
. Older members of the Usage tribe
go on the witness stand unwillingly.
Attorneys for the litigants usually
insist upon two interpreters, and the
interpreters frequently disagree on
the English translation of the testi-
mony. TX zy~..:.c.. i
To supplement oral testimony, at
torneys bring into court the musty
records of the Usage Indian Agency,
dating back half century.
But even the most accurate of
the agency sometimes add
to the confusion. Listings of the
family groups of the Osages was
started in 1887 and records kept by
among the tribesmen
on occasion are produced to contra
dict evidence from the agency rec
ords. -
Such a Mixup!
In recent case in Usage county
district court, involving $780, 900
estate, one attorney introduced in
evidence the records of the Usage
agency which showed that middle
aged widow and her young daugh-
ter had married an old Indian man
at the same time. The widow also
had young son, who, according to
the records. became the step-son Of
the old Indian and at the same time
his brother-in-law.
Both women bore children, whose
to each other could be
interpreted as hsE-sisters and half
brothers. or as uncles and aunts and
nieces and nepas ws.
The stepson Of the old man also
married and had children, who be-
came grandsons and granddaugh-
tiers of the old Indian and at the
same time his niecss and nephews.
. Today records are being kept to
prevent such complications in fu-
ture Usage estate cases. But, in
the meantime, thousands of dollars
of county funds are being used and
many weeks occupied with taking
testimony to establish the rightful
heirs to Usage fortunes.

NELSON
SETS
PACE:
BY BROOKS SMITH

AUGUTA, Ga, April 10. CUP)-
Byron Nelson's hot 1876 set scorch-
ing pace as the country's top golf
pros entered the third round of the
important $4,000 master tournament
today.
Nine under par after 36 holes,
Nelson was out to set a record for
this event and recapture the mas
terS title which he won in 1897.
Only challengers in the elite field
within distance of the Toledo pro
was Sam Byrd, former maj jor league
baseball player, whose two great
68s for 1876 were only good enough
for second place.
Byrd is paired with Nelson this
afternoon and therell be pressure
on every stroke, for the one who
shoots the best round should be a
shoo-in for the $500 first prize
money.
Nelson, who won the tournament
at Oakland, Calf. and the $4,000
Miami open on the winter tour, had
six brides and one bogey yesterday
for his 67. The day before he fired
five brides and one bogey for a
68. His 1875 at the half way mark
equalled the best score ever record
ed at the masters for 36 holes, Hen
ry Picard chalking up that two
round total in the 1886 tournament.
-Four strokes behind BYRD with
laos were the two first day sensa-
tons, Paul Runyan and Horton
Smith, a pair of veterans who went
one over par with TBS yesterday.
Jimmy Demaret continued his con-
sistent play shooting a 70 for the
second day and a 14O total.
Ben Hogan and Jimmy Thompson
were one under par for 36 holes
with totals of 143 and were the only
other players in the field given a
chance to overtake the leaders.
Tied at IA were E. j. Harrison
and Willie Goggin and at las we're
Denny Shute and Lawson Little.
