Carnegie.—It is believed that the
last act has been done in adjusting
the claim of the people of Carnegie
to the townsite. In a case in court
which has just been settled, District
Judge Frank Mathews instructed the
jury to bring a verdict in favor of the
defendants, residents of the town who
had been given title to their lots in
the townsite.
At one time Harry Komalty claimed
a one-third interest in the townsite as
one of the heirs of the allottee. He
conveyed his interest to another.
Following this suit was brought on
the title and it went through the
court. It was claimed the deed given
was not put through the regular chan-
nels and approved by the interior de-
partment, which was necessary. Lat-
er the interior department had Ko-
malty execute a deed to the citizens
which was approved by the depart-
ment. On this showing when the
case came up finally Judge Mathews
instructed the jury to decide in favor
of the citizens who held deeds.
THE OSAGE TRIBE REJECT LEASES
Older Indians Refuse to Allow Gm
Piped Out of County
OIL PRODUCTION STILL CLIMBS
Cushing Field Is to Reach 200,000
Barrels a Day in Short Time
Cushing.—Notwithstanding drilling
has been curtailed materially in the
Cushing field, through an agreement
of the oil men, the production from
wells that are yielding is likely to
reach 200,000 barrels daily within a
short time.
In the last seven months the pro-
duction has been increased about
twenty times, and in the opinion of
oil men the high tide of production
cannot be reached before September
of next year. It Is estimated now
that the Cushing field is producing
about one-fourth of the entire yield
of the United States. -
No drilling is being done, and no
more will be done, other than that
necessary to hold existing leases^
Many wells that have been brought in
during the last sixty days stopped at
the top of the sand.
OKLAHOMA CITY MINISTER DEAD
^■11 From Street Car Resulted in
Breaking his Neck.
Oklahoma City.—Rev. Charles Dun
can Spillman, pastor of the Emanuel
Baptist Church of Oklahoma City, in
attempting to alight from an east-
bound Fair Grounds car Saturday
night about 10 o'clock, fell to the
pavement and sustained injuries that
resulted in his almost immediate
death. His neck was broken. An am-
bulance rushed the injured man to
St. Anthony's hospital, but he died
before a doctor had arrived.
Rev. Spillman was returning from
a downtown meeting at the time of
the accident, and carried with him a
portable organ which he had used iu
the services. It is thought that this
impediment may have overbalanced
him in his attempt to alight from the
oar.
Pawhuska.—Led by George Alberty,
the full blood Indian members of the
Osage council in session here refused
to grant oil and gas leases on 680,000
acres of land owned by the Osage In-
dians as individuals, the oil and gas
rights being held in common by the
tribe for a period of twenty-five years
from statehood.
A Kansas company seeking the
leases offered the customary one-
eighth royalty on the leases, and the
offer met with the approbation" of the
younger generation of Indians, but
was opposed by the older Indians.
Local bankers favored the granting of
the leases to the company, and which
would have resulted in oil and gas
pipe lines being constructed to cities
in Kansas and Missouri, but the older
Indians who successfully opposed the
granting of the leases, argued in op-
position that they were unalterably
opposed to any development of the
field which did not include the con-
struction of refineries and factories in
Osage county.
Local merchants generally support-
ed the older Indians in their conten-
tion, contending that if the Osage
field is developed the oil and gas tak-
en from the county should be used
in operating factories in Osage coun-
ty, which would give additional value
to the Indians' property, and tend to
build up the community.
The tribal council, by unanimous
vote, passed a resolution calling upon
Secretary of the Interior Lane and
Indian Commissioner Cato Sells to
make a sweeping investigation of In-
dian agency matters here. The reso-
lution charges that "a very few bank-
ers, merchants and land grafters have
control at the agency." Special men-
tion is made of trust fund expendi-
tures.
OKLAHOMA AT THE U. S. CAPITAL
Quiet Week Among Our National
Lawmakers
Washington.—Oklahoma affairs are
very quiet at the national capital, the
principal interest being in the final
disposition of the Indian appropria-
tion bill.
Seven full-blood Cherokee Indians,
representing the Eastern Emigrant
Church, headed by Joe Fox of Dela-
ware county, were in Washington to
appear before the Indian committee
and defend a claim against the United
States of $8,000,000 for lands and
money allotted to negroes in the Cher-
okee nation. If the bill is passed it
will mean a per capita payment of
about $500 to members of the Chero-
kee tribe.
The Oklahoma delegation secured
a victory over the Mississippi repre-
sentatives in the matter of the Indian
appropriation bill this week in which
the interests of the two states have
been at continual variance. The
house rejected the senate amendment
to permit the Mississippi Choctaws to
present their claims to participate in
the funds of the Choctaw Indians of
Oklahoma and the question now goes
to conference' in the two houses.
Oklahoma has been awarded one of
the fifteen stations for thfe testing of
serum for hog cholera to be main-
tained by the federal government in
as many states. This distinction was
secured by the delegations of mem-
bers of the Oklahoma board of agri-
culture to the national department of
agriculture during a recent trip made
to Washington. The institute will be
established at Muskogee. The agri-
cultural board members also secured
the re-establishment of the federal
fund for the A. & M. College at Still-
water as a result of their visit to
Washington,
