Burke Burnett, ol man, rancher and owner of hundreds of thousands of acres of Texas 'lands, died today at his homeé here. He had been in {ll health more than a year, but his con- dition became alarming only yester- day. He was born in Migsourt in 1849, The famous oil town PRurkeburnett was named after him and in addition to his vast grazing lands, Captain Burnett's ofl interests were immense. His land was among the first in Texas to reveal presence of oil. Captain Burnett also was a domjn- ant feature in the commercial e- velopment of the southwest. He had stock in numerous banks and other industrial and commercial institu- tions. A ploneer resident of Texas to which he was brought by his parents at the age of 8 Captain Burnett liter- ally carved his fortune from the wild and wooly west. In that decade the cattle industry occupied the commercial life in Texas and young Burnett's attention was turned to it. He set about to improve the strain of the range cattle and brought the first pure bred bull to Taxes. . In 1876 Captain Burnett has de. veloped his holdings to 30,000 acres. His sense of- justice enabled him to become friendly with the Indians and perceiving wasteful minuse of their lands, Captain Burnett leased 40,000 acres for grazing. That maneuver laid the foundation for the great fortune he built up. In 1900 he purchased the famous 666 ranch in King county which includes more than 200,000 acres. He also possessed the Dixon Creek ranch in Carson county of more than 100,900 acres.
