tell you about it in general
way. Itching can be treated by
applying a local drug, by treat
ing an underlying illness or by
using some sedative agent.
For example, some local APP
plications are: hydrocortisone
ointments or lotions: boric acid
wet dressings, menthol solutions
or Burrows solution. For sys-
temic use: ACTH or cortisone
drugs; antihistamines like be-

reasons why her mother is op-

Craftiest Hunter
This was Usage County, Okla
homa, a dark and bloody hunt
ing ground if ever there was
one. And the craftiest hunter of
them all in this oil and Indian
kingdom was William K. Hale,
banker, cattleman, merchant,
politician and killer-by-proxy.
Throughout the Roaring Twen-
ties, there was no stranger case
than that of Hale, who became
known as King Of the Usage
Hills"
Before the turn of the CEN
tury. Bill Hale had left his
family's ranch near Greenville,
Texas. and drifted into the ban
dit hills" of Usage County.
He lived in a tent for a time.
scratching out living by trad
ing with the Indians.
One day Hale went to collect
q small bill from an Indian GUS
toner. only to find the man had
Just died. This wasn't misfor-
tune for Hale-it was oppor-
tunity knocking for the first
time.
Deluge Of Wealth
Hale saw lawyer and ar
ranged to have lien filed
against almost everything the
Indian had owned, including
land, cattle and household pos
sessions. 1t was sheer robbery,
but out of the badlands came
Hale's friends to swear the In
dian rightfully owed Hale the
money. There wasn't a shred
OF documentary proof to support
the claim, but Hale won the
case.
After that it was easy. Rarely
did an Indian die that there
wasn't a claim Of some kind
against his property, filed either
by Hale or by some other white
man.
Then came the deluge of
wealth for Usage County. Drillers
struck oil and almost overnight
the Usage Indians became the
richest people per capita on
earth. BY reason Of the head
rights" granted by the Federal
Government to some 1900 full
blooded Usage Indians, they
were eligible to share the royal
ties paid on each gallon of oil
pumped from their reservation.
When an Usage died, his head
right" was passed on to his heirs.
Prospecting King
Bill Hale prospered as the
Indians prospered. BY 1920 the
one-time cowpoke had moved
from his tent in the badlands
into control of a 50.000-acre
ranch stocked with cattle and
