Widow gets cash
McALESTER — The widow of A. J. Cox, slain
state prison employee, has received a $50,000 fed-
eral payment. $
Ramona Cox received the money under a feder-
. al law that provides the payments for survivors of
any public safety officer killed in the line of duty.
Cox, a farm supervisor at the state prison here,
was stabbed to death in March as he tried to pre-
vent the escape of prisoner Edward Hall, authori-
ties said. ‘x
Hall has never been recaptured.
A similar benefit check was given to the widow
of Highway Patrol Trooper Larry Crabtree, who
was shot to death earlier this year as he ap-
proached a car on the Turner Turnpike.
Mrs. Cox and her two children, live in Mc-
Alester. \ -

he discovered that they first were
displayed in the United States in
1770, but were displayed by Europe-
an tobacco stores many years ear-
lier.
And he found the cigar store wood-
en Indian could be any type of figure
— baseball players, policemen, sol-
diers, attractive women — but they
still all were called wooden Indians.
Brown said If the protestor had
known more wooden Indian history
he wouldn't have been offered by his
statue.
So he has offered to set up a dis-
play sharing his naw-found knowl-
edge in hopes of placating his critic.
"If he wants me to put a sign out
there next to it, giving a history of
the wooden Indian, I'll do it," Brown
said. "Yes, I believe I am going to
keep it here,” he declared.
TULSA (AP) — Dick Brown says
he meant no offense to Indians by
displaying a wooden Indian at the
front of his pipe and tobacco shop in
the Bank of Oklahoma Tower down-
town.
But last weekend a real Indian vis-
ited the store and said he didn't
much care for the wooden figure.
"He was trying to make me feel
like I was giving them a bad name
by having a wooden Indian," Brown
said. "I didn’t put it there to make
fun of Indians."
The Indian gave him two weeks to
remove the statue, he said, and hint-
ed the bank "woudlnt appreciate"
an Indian picket line in front of the
store.
"He was a bitter man. I hope I
never get that bitter," Brown said.
Brown decided to research the his-

Nearly half of the $16,000 reward
fund might have to be returned to
donors because of an agreement that
the money would be returned if
there had been no arrests by July 31.
Ginny Young, spokeswoman for
the Magic Empire Council of Giri
Scouts in Tulsa, said that question-
naires were going out to donors to
ask if they wanted their money to re-
main in the fund despite the deadline
agreement.
"J think they will," she said. "Sev-
eral people sent messages with the
donations saying they didn't want
the money back. I think this will be
the general feeling of all the peo-
ple."

the fund to $5,000.
Another reward fund has been es-

it requires the arrest and conviction

fore the money is paid.
Residents of Leesburg raised the
'PRYOR (AP) — Sheriff Pete
Weaver says he wants to limit a spe-
cial reward fund aimed at the arrest
of triple-murder suspect Gene Leroy
Hart to its current level of $5,000.
j Hart Utas been charged with the
murders of three Girl Scouts near
Locust Grove in June. .
"I don't want ft (the reward fund)
to grow at all," Weaver said
Wednesday. "It is staying at $5,000.
In insist on it. I don't want someone
waiting around holding back infor-
mation for that reward fund to get
bigger."
Weaver commented after it had
been learned that a $3,000 donation
from the town of Leesburg, Fla.,
won't be used to add to the arrest
fund as had been discussed last
week.
The Florida contribution instead
will be used to reimburse about _
$2,500 in personal loans that board appeal of the Magic Empire Council

reward fund nationwide.
But the announcement stopped
short of the wishes of Richard Guse,
father of one of the slain Girl Scouts.
Guse has called on the Girl Scouts
to organize a nationwide fund drive.
"I think this is a step in the right
direction," he said Wednesday of the
$3,000 by selling peanuts, seeking action taken by the national Girl
cash contributions and holding an
auction.
Ron Palmer, a Leesburg grocer
who spearheaded the fund-raising
drive in the central Florida town,
said the arrangement to keep the re-
ward fund at $5,000 was satisfactory.
"We just want the money to go
where it will do the most good," Pal-
mer said. "If it means making it so

TULSA (AP) — A federal judge
has allowed construction of a medi-
um-security prison near Hominy to
continue unrestricted in a dispute
brought by Osage Indians over min-
eral rights.
U.S. District Judge H. Dale Cbok
ruled Wednesday that the state
Corrections Department had not re-
moved saleable minerals from the
60-acre construction site as several
Osages had claimed.
The Indians contended in their suit
that since their tribe owns all of the
mineral rights in Osage Cbunty that
the tribe should receive payment for
below-the-ground shale at the con-
struction site.
A geological engineer testified for
the Indians that about 6.5 million
tons of shale is in the ground be-
neath the prison site. But Judge
Cook said other testimony showed
that the same type of shale existed
throughout Osage County so that any
loss to the tribe wouldn't be substan-
tial if a market develops for the
shale.
