While Doctor Cook and his asso-
ciates in the gentle game of oll-hljack-ing

bars in the Texas penitentiary with
plenty of time to repent their fleecing
methods eight El Reno oil magnates
who might also have been listed as
associates of the nily doctor had they
been less discreet are thanking their
lucky stars that they were not in-
veigled into the skin game operated
by Cook
For the holdings of more than 300
acres owned by a group of El Reno
and Oklahoma City men were purchas-
ed by Dr Cook in 1919 and used by
him and his associates in working up
the gigantic fraud for which he re-
ceived a penitentiary sentence of 15

after the close of the war negotiated
