THE SPIRIT OF OIL SEIZES JENKS TOWN
The struggle for the oil under-
lying Jenks townsite will be
opened within the next week.
Two locations h. v • been made,
one in Block 4 1 y Shipman bros.
who have already made a fortune
in the Perryman pool, and the
other in Block 5 by McMahan
and others. E. R. Letcher has
also purchased a block of lots
and will sink a number of wells.
North of Jenks townsite the
Gypsy Oil company has made a
location, and still farther north,
surrounding the well on the J ulia
eight rigs are drilling and three
wells are expected in this week.
The Prairie, realizing the condit-
ion, have begun work doubling
the capacity of their own power
plant. Superintendent Pkl. Lat-
imer of the Tulsa division has
personal charge of the work.
The Jenks of three months ago
would not be recognized as the
Jenks of today. The long main
street is filled with oil men and
oil is the sole topic of conversat
ion. Residents of Jenks have
caught the spirit and are doing
their best to cuter to the new-
comers. Restaurants are crowd-
ed and the lit tle hotels are finding
their sleeping space inadequate
for the demands made upon it.
Twenty lots in the townsite
were sold yesterday by the Head
Berry company which has charge
of the sale, the majority of them
being purchased by oil producers
of Tulsa. One man purchased
a block of ten lots and signified
his intention of taking five more,
it is believed with the present
conditions that the entire town-
site will be soid out within the
next thirty days. Tulsa World.
dence and the story of Major
Heno, who, instead of going to
Custer’s aid, sought safety on a
high bluff several miles distant
[ Two Moons,a Cheyenne brave,
now converted to Christianity,
1 who took part in that battle, has
told at least the other side of the
story, and he is of the belief that
had Custer’s entire command
fought as bravely as the Gray
Horse troop, there would have
been no massacre.
Custer’s men charged pell-
mell into the Indian camp, he
says, without any semblance of
order. No skirmish line were
thrown out, and when the In-
dians recovered from their panic
it took but a, short time to sui«
sound the cavalrymen. Then
the soldiers became panic strick
en. According to Two Moons
many dropped their guns and
tried to break through the In-
dians. Many seemed to have
become insane, Only the Gray
Horse troop rallied and they
fought like demons. They work-
ed their way slowly up the ridge
hut the savages shot them down
one by one.
Had the whole command done
the same, Two Moons says, he
doubts the Indians would have
to itinued the battle as they had
squaws and children with them,
out the helplessness of the|
troopers was taken advantage of'
by Sitting Bull. The battle
started about 11 o’clock in the
forenoon and, according to Two
Moons, lasted about an hour and
a half.
Two Moons declared that the
Cheyennes did not recognize
Custer during the fighting, as
all the soldiers looked alike.

Out of every dollar of tax paid
in Oklahoma ten cents goes to
the county, township or muni-
cipality. In other words when
a citizen pays one dollar in taxes
he pays ten cents for the privi-
lege of living iu Oklahoma, and
ninety cents for the privilege of
living in this county, township
and municipality.
