t All Ladies Welcome
At Big Shrine Ball
r 4»tir —————
We want all of the ladies of
I Americus who can do so to attend the
j big Shrine ball at the Windsor ho
i tel next Monday night, from 9 to 1
! o’clock,” said Edwin Murray, chair
’ man of the dance committee, today in
I asking the T mes-Recorder to con
j vey the information that they are not
. only invited but are urged to attend.
They do not have to belong to fami
lies of Shriners, but may come as
’ members of parties or in parties of
. their own, if they choose. There will
i be a large number of visiting Shrin
ers who will need partners to make
the affair the big success that it is in
i tended to make it.
Attention is called to the fact, how
ever, that men are to be admitted to
’ the ball only when wearing the offi
t <ial fez and when presenting the 1920
Shrine card. This means that only
1 members of the Shrine will comprise
the male attendants at the ball.
“But all the ladies need to do is
to come, remove their hats and coats
' and go to dancing,” said Mr. Murray.
Wife Slayer Freed And
' Scandal Is Hushed Up
DUBLIN, Jan. 15.—For lack of a
prosecutor. Matt Edwards, the white
man who shot and fatally wounded
( his wife in this county December 31,
t was released yesterday at his commit
ment trial before Judge Kane. Ed
wards’ son, who swore out the war
. rant, stated after the trial that he
would rather let his father go free
i than to further air the old family
quarrel. »
A feature of the trial was a peti
tion presented by the defense, sign
ed by 147 people, neighbors «f Ed
, wards, which asked that he be re
leased. as the killing was in their
opinion entirely justifiable, and that
Edwards was a quiet, inoffensive man
in normal life. Tide petition also re
quested the grand jury not to indict
| Edwards.
Edwards made a statement short
i ly after surrendering to the sheriff
in which he stated he fired not at his
wife but at the man who had her in
his arms with his wife very scantily
. clad and holding the woman as a
shield between himself and the angrv
husband.

OIL PAYS HIM
$4,500 PER DAY
But Delay of Feature
Film Worried Picture
Show Man.
PAWHUSKA, Okla., Jan 15.
When the Minnehoma oil well, esti
mated conservatively at fifteen thous
and barrels a day, came in, it brought
Albert Jackson, manager of the Con
stantine theater here, an estimated
daily income of $4,500.
Mr. Jackson, a pleasant, gray hair
ed man, sat in his tiny office next to
his Constantine theater the other
night looking worried. His face was
anything except that of a man who
just had come into thousands of dol
lars a day.
“What’s the matter?” a friend ask
ed, “Minnehoma gone back on you?”
“No,” he answered. “The darned
town’s snowbound and my Anita
Stewart feature didn’t come in.”
And Mr. Jackson was frankly more
upset over the fear of disappointing
a night audience in Pawhuska than
that “capping” Minenhoma might
damage it.”
“How does it feel to become a mil
lionaire overnight?’’ Mr. Jackson was
asked.
“It doesn't make any difference to
me,’’ he answered. “1 like the show
business. I’ve been in it twelve years
and I'm going to stick in it. This oil
find is nice for the wife and boy,
though.”
And then his mind went back to the
Anita Stewart disaster. He was ask
ed if he had any other interests.
“Yes, there is another well on the
.Minnehoma property, only a 40-barrel
one, though. Oh, yes, he’d just re
ceived a wire from Kentucky, too. Ha
looked at it. It told of his striking
oil on a propetry there.
“That’s nice,” he said abstractedly.
“Jimmy, what’ll we shaw ’em tonight
in place of Anita Stewart?”
Bought Lease For sl,OOll.
Mr. Jackson, Jesse J. Worten and
Dr. Henry G. Carson paid $1,090 for
the lease; not SI,OOO each, SI,OOO
altogether. And they gave the Min
nehoma people a five-eighths interest
for drilling the first well.
Across the street from the theater
office, Mr. Worten sat in a comforta
bly heated law office talking with a
friend. I
Yes, Mr. Worten was “interested”
in Minnetnmia. Yes, “she” looked
pretty good. Well, no, don’t put it
too big. He’d estimate it at ten
thousand barrels. How did he feel?
“I feel pretty good, if it’s true,”j
he said. “I’m gladder for the wife
and my two children than for myself.
No, I won’t move away; Pawhuska is
my home. I’ll stay here with my
practice.”
Mr. Worten is a quiet, modest, very
likeable man with a warm heart and
the faculty of giving the credit for
everything to everyone else.
And now the Indians. It’s pretty,
soft for the Indians. Just sit backl
and draw royalties on their land with:
an average income higher than that of
the average Kansas City head of a
family.
The mineral rights to the Osage
County land is owned by the Osage
tribe. There are 2.229 shares divided
among approximately eighteen hun
dred Indians, department of the inte
rior officials say. Last year the av
erage royalty share paid was $5,100/
Some Indians are heirs through deaths
to more shares than their own. They
drew three and four times that
amount. Think how bard, Mr. Kan
sas City Business Man. you have to
work to make a $5,100 income. And
i that $5,100 representing annuity and
, bonuses, came before Minnehoma
i started gushing. Now “she brings
' at least $3 a day to every Indian in
! Osage county.” ,
Have Hard Life.
Oh, these Indians down here have
i a hard life. Very few of them do
• not own their own car. If a census
| of high powered machines were tak
' en Kansas City’s Petticoat Lane be
. tween Main and Grand would run
'a far second to Pawhuska’s Kipekah
street, between Grandview and Leahy.
Take today for instance. A bliz
■ zard rage d yesterday and last night.
Trains were snowbound. The roads
out to Minnehoma are practically im
passable. Are the Indians staying
at home like the rest of Pawhuska?
j Not so you could notice it. These Tn-
• dians are in town todav, as they are
j almost everv ohy. Honestly they
' scoot around in Packards, Pierce-Ar
j rows. Marmons and Peerlesses. Each
' rear seat contains an enormous many-

Jored laprobe, to keep the occupants
.varm. Five-passenger cars, road
sters, small cars of a widely known
variety aren’t seen in Pawhuska. The
Indians won’t have them. It would
1 make the owners look cheap, they
say. They tell a good story here of
how a motor car whose catalogue
' -tarts with a little old $2,800 figure,
lost its popularity.
“It was too heavy,” its agent ex- I
■ plained sorrowfully. “It was meant i
for eastern boulevards, not Oklahoma I
hills.”
"Anyway, a fellow came in town ’
' who was selling a $3,500 machine. *
What chance did I have?”
The Minnehoma well, the third at
tempt on the northwest quarter of sec-'
I tion 14-26-8, was brought in Decern-'
ber 31, 1919. It came with a rip
ah it 3:20 o’clock in the afternoon,
spelling “Happy New Year” to its
owners. Here are some actual fig-
U ' on Minnehoma, what it means to
th' local owners, to the Minnehoma
n: ■n. to the Osage Indians who are
sitting placidly by and watching the
land they own spout gold dollars.
10,000 Barrels Lowest
i’he lowest estimate on the Minne-
; na’s earning capacity is 10,000 bar
t ' a day, the highest estimate is
2 >.OOO barrels, a medium estimate is
1 ~000. The oil is selling at $3 a
barrel. That makes the Minnehoma
gash worth $45,000 a day to the In
dians and to the lessees. Give the
Indians their 20 per cent cut—that
makes $9,000 a day for their com
munity pot—and $35,000 for the less
ees. Give the Minnehoma Company
its five-eighths of that $36,000, that
makes $22,500 a day for its stock
holders and $13,500 for the three lo
cal stockholders. Divide that $13,500
three ways. That makes exactly
$1,500 a day for Jackson, Worten and
Dr. Henry G. Carton, all of Paw
huska. Let’s see, $4,500 a day is
$27,000 a week, granting it’s a 6-day
week; that SIOB,OOO a month.
It was just two weeks ago the
Minnehoma “came in”—“came in”
with a roar that blew the tools out of
the derrick, spattered oil all over the
countryside to the south and made
its owners and a hastily collected
crew of men work frantically all
night building dams in a “draw” to a
nearby creek to hold the oil which
was collecting faster than they
could work.
A rush to this town resembling the
oid “forty-niners day” in California
would attend the announcement of
the Minnehoma discovery were it not
for one thing. That is that all the
land in the country is owned by the
Osage Indians and leases are sold
only by the government at public
auction. Those auctions are mam
moth affairs and the bidding is al
ways spirited. Leases sold at the last
auction brought more than 6 million
dollars. What the figure will be Feb
ruary 3, when the next auction will
be held, cannot even be estimated.
The lease to the southeast quarter of
14-26-8, just a half mile away from
the Minnehoma gusher, is one of those
to be knocked off by the auctioneer’s
hammer. The fight for it will be a
battle royal, Pawhuska predicts.
