WANT MURDERS IN OSAGE HILLS ARE UNSOLVED One After Another, Rich In- dians Die Under Mysteri- ous Circumstances ONE WOMAN SMOTHERED Some Are Poisoned, Others Are Shot to Death, One (Bagi ofthe weries of +, oan 's Note—This is the second th at dealing wi Guthrie, Okla, Jan. 21—The dark cloak of mystery and dread that cov- ered the oil-b rr valleys of the Osage hills for four long years is rising at last—unveiling to public view details of a chain of murders #0 ee that they seem hardly cred- le. The long strings of clectrie lights that wealthy Indians hung about their homes every night for years are being taken down. No longer, when you knock on the door of an Indian’s residence at bs td are the house lights suddenly lousedgand rifles hur- riedly cocked in the darkness within. ;Those features of the long reign of terror are over. The story of the murders is com: plicated—a series of mysteNes with- in mysteries. Through it, dimly seen but visible. with ominous ‘portent, moves the figure of bluff, hard-boiled William K. Hale, who is under indict- ment for first degree murder, and who, the federal government charges, sought by wiping out a whole clan to make himself a millionaire many times over. To begin with, there was Lizzie Bigheart, a full-blood. Her husband died after she had borne him two daughters, Grace and Alice. She thereupon married Ote Q, another full-blood, and they had four daugh- ters: Nina, Rita, Anna and Mollie. Smothered to Death Five years ago Lizzle Q was mor tally ill of cancer. In accor with the Osage custom, the ay vers of the tribe gathered wat ped and smothered her to zie Q’s head-rights in th ~wWealth (a head-right amounts now to $15,000 a yes ind Liazie had three) devolved upon her daughters. The daughter, mal white man, Bill Smit and he married her sister, Ri 1923, their home at Fair- bomb ter, Anna, married Joe Brown, an Indian. He died short- ly thereafter, leaving Anna his head- right to add to her own. But Anna didn’t live long to enjoy this wealth. Shortly before the deaths of Bill Smith and Rita she was murdered b: someone unknown, on a lonely road. This left but one of the daughters of Lizzie Q. The two daughters by her first’ marriage had died. And Mollie, the surviving daughter, was heiress to the head-rights of all of them. Altogether, she has ninc— a total income of $136,000 9 year. And Mollie is the wife of Ernest Burkhart, nephew of Hale and under indictment with him for murder. That*is the story of Lizsic Q and her family, and the way death stalked through to leave Burkhart’s wife sole recipient of the entire fortyne. But it is not the whole story.

ANTHRACITE 1S NOW BEING BOOTLESGED New Industry Has Sprung Up| as a Result of Strike— Work Done at Night Philadelphia, Jan. 21.—()— An- thracite bootlegging, a new industry which sprung up as a result of the hard coal strike, is growing rapidly. Starting in a small way, the prac- tice has spread until hundreds are engaged in it. Some of the bootleggers’ supplies i¢ked from the banks. 3 is permitted by nearly all the coal com- panies, the only restrictions against the use of trucks and the sale of the recovered coal. The restric- tions, however, are ignored by the bootleggers who deliver most of their coal at night and collect from $10 to $20 for a short ton of inferior grade. The great part of the supply is ken from outcrops and old work- ings in isolated places. ' Fleet trucks are:busy nightly. in the vicin- ity of Wil nd Hazleton. Mi Arrests Made Scores of arrests have been made and“officers of the United Mine Workers have endeavored to stop the practice without ‘success. It remained for Thom: Murphy, a carpenter, to bring the first “boot- leg anthracite” to Philadelphia. He returned last night ‘from a trip through,-the mining regions with his motor car loaded down with bags o! coal he dug from the culm near Hazleton. 200 Arrested — for an Alleged ~ Communist Plot Relgrade, ‘Jugo.
