A BIG DEAL
IN OIL LANDS
Two Norman Men Share in a Million
Dollar Check—Geologists Pick
Rich Field in Northern
Oklahoma.
0HERN and BUTTRAM
Four Hundred and Eighty Acres Near
Yale, Okla., Sold by Oklahoma
City Men for $1,000,000—
Originally Cost $400.
Two Norman men will share in the
million dollar check given on August
1, 1910, by the Roxana Oil company of
Tulsa to the Fortuna Oil company of
Oklahoma City for the lease of 480
acres near Yale, Okla. The Norman
men are Dr. D. W. Ohern and Frank
Buttram, the well known geologists,
through whose representations the
Fortuna Oil company bought the lease
and began putting down wells. It is
said that no oil has yet been found
on the tract, but the Roxana people are
so sure it will be found in large
quantities that they are willing to risk
$1,000,000 upon it.
The check has been received by A.
P. Crockett of the Oklahoma City law
firm of Burwell, Crocket & Johnson.
The stockholders in the company are
A. P. Crockett, C. E. Johnson, estate
of B. F. Burwell, D. W. Ohern, Frank
Buttram, C. R. Brooks and some east-
ern bankers. One well only has been
drilled to the sand, but production has
been found on all sides of the tract.
Messers. Ohern and Buttram are se-
curing u fine reputation as being con-
scientious geologists of marked ability
in determing fields in which can
be found, and ther representatives are
meeting the utmost consideration by
men of means in the oil cou/itry.
Probably, also, they get a good slice
of the stock in all oil companies they
promote, which nets them even more
than the big fees they are paid.
No one who knows them begrudges
them their good luck. They are worthy
gentlemen in every way and can and
will make good use of their wealth.
—Miss Laura Lee Baker is in the
Wesley hospital at Oklahoma City, and
will undergo an operation today to
remedy an injury to her ankle received
some years ago.

OLD FIDDLERS' CONTEST.
Go out to the Citizens park to-
night and listen to the old-fashioned
music of the old-fasYlioned fiddlers. A
stand will be erected from which solos,
dues, tros and quartettes will be dis-
coursed, and if anyone desires to dance
on the green or on the street, they will
be given the privilege.
Trouble begins about 8 o'clock
There'll be several fiddlers present to
entertain the people.
—Wayne Rucker left Thursday for
Lindsay, Okla., where he will assist in
the Rucker store the next thirty days.
On account of the immense crop of
broom corn that is being harvested in

business at his Lindsay store this fall.

ness man as his father, and is getting
into the game early.

experienced business woman and a
fine book-keeper, but a gracious lady
who made friends of all who knew her.

of the Guthrie Register was also nomi-
nated for member of the lower house,
and his election, too, is assured. Both
of these young men have the ability
to go to the front, and The Transcript

of the national congress as members
from Oklahoma.
