Hale, "king of the Osage Hills" and Ernest Burk- hart, arrested yesterday by state authorities on murder charges in connection with the Osage murder mysteries. The grand jury will attempt to develop the connection between the various murders and investigate cir- cumstances indicating that a mur- der ring sought to wipe out an en- tire Osage family and gain a for- tune of 82,000,000, Hale, a wealthy ranchman, is al- leged to have been named as the head of the murder ring in a con- feseion made by Bert Lawson, a federal prisoner at Leavenworth penitentiary.

Strin- gent laws barring liquor from the Osage country were passed, but the whiskey continued to flow in and the Osages, In a few years, were transformed from a simple, frugal people to a liquor-loving race who smashed expensive motor cars with abandon and bought new ones with no thought of the eost. The average Osage income is $1,- 000 monthly. The money is paid them by the government and repre- sents income from the oll wells on their land. Some of the Indlans have been declared competent.
