PAWHUSKA, Okla., Aug. 12.—
The most independent women in the
world live in Pawhusky. They are
the Osage girls who have been en
riched by oil.
Only a few years ago their sisters
slaved as squaws had done for hun
dreds of years. But gushers found
on the Indian lands have given them
equal riches and rights with thd men
of the tribe. To some it has brought
education, travel, culture nud happi
ness; to others luxuries, miseries and
tragedies.
There’s May Wildcat, who at 18
has been married twice. .She drives
. her own automobile and owns on air
plane which her husband pilots.
Eunice Moneravie is 18 and has
heen married four times. Her first
marriage followed . an elopement
from a Texas boarding school when
she was 14.
Anna Webster, however, surpasses
this record. She returned from four
years at Carlisle as the wife of a
full-blooded Osage graduate of the
same institution. After a month nn
the reservation, they put off the
white people’s garb and returned tn
blankets and moccasins. ,
Then the husband was stabbed to
death in a brawl. His successor, a
chief, she divorced after he had been
arrested for forgery. Her third
husband was murdered in a row on
the reservation.' And since then she
has heen married twice.

Osages, were the happiest married
