L Dunn, former resident of Oklahoma
City, was connected with the invest-
ment company, but the plaintiffs
the suit against the bank assert that
he had no title or interest in the prop-
erty attached. The property attached
by the sheriff consisted in the main
of unsold lots in Oilton. The State
National bank's claim against Ed L.
Dunn amounted to $28,495, with inter-
est at the rate of 8 per cent from
June 7, 1913, lu per cent additional
for attorney's fee.
The plaintiffs allege that since the
property was attached they have been
unable to dispose of the unsold lots,
or their oil and gas rights to any ad-
vantage. and that purchasers of lots in
Oilton have refused to make payments
placed by the attachment procedure.
They asnert that they warned the
sheriff that Ed L. Dunn was not in-
terested in the property ordered at-
tached. and that after the sheriff had
notified the bank of such warning, the
latter directed the sheriff to proceed

their support in the event the propo-
sition is placed before them in tangible
form It is for the purpose of shaping
this proposition so th*.t action may be
taken upon it that the game warden
has appointed this special committee
of sportsmen, whose recommendation
will be unquestioned by the sportsmen
of this state.
Th. salt plain is a rendezvous for
all kinds of game, migratory birds in
particular. During the migratory sea-
sons it is covered with ducks, geese,
brant and all kinds of migratory birds.
The vast waste gives a protection to
these birds in that it is impossible j
to approach them from any direction j
with being in their plain view. There j
they feed several weeks each spring !
and fall, and make the most prized j
hunting precinct in the state.
Advertise For Oil and Gas Leases.
In leasing this land the commission-
ers will require the lessees to furnish
a bond of $10,000 each that they will ,
begin actual drilling operations within
six months and that, if practical, the ;
well shall be drilled to a depth of not !
less than 3,000 feet.
In addition, the lessees will he !
awarded on a bonus basis w ith the cus- I
tomary 12% per cent royalty to the |
state.
For some time geologists have said
that the formation in Cimarron county
was favorable for oil and gas, but
there has been no prospecting in that
county, due entirely, it is said, to the
absence of adequate transportation
facilities.
