PURE CANE SUGAR Recalls Bad Old Osage Days Of Free-Flowing Black Gold By Robert B. Squires United Press Staff Correspondent Pittsburgh (U.R! Some oldtimers refer to the good old days but one old-time oil well driller thinks differently. J a m e a Whitfield, itinerant "caser," now living near Black Sock, Pa., has, in his active 86 years, seen all kinds of holes "come in." Starting his career in this state he later drifted to Oklahoma and Texas. His ac counts of early day mushroom towns around these "diggings" include the now famous Osage inkings. Law was still a thing for the dudes when he got there, he aid. Law was what people talked about until the fellow got shot; then the townsmen Fur Remodeling and Repairing Rellning.

Practically anywhere a hole was sunk, "blackgold" came pouring out. In the early days, Whitfield lived with two cronies called Lobo and Mex Pete. They worked hard, fought for keeps, and were usually left alone. Boom-towns and Indians fol lowed these sinkings every where. He recalled the Oh-saw-gce Indians parading down a mud-morass called Main Street In nil their finery. They were looking for trouble, and usually got it. Whitfield said there were bad and good "injuns," but "both looked very nice dead. When the pipes were run, he said, trouble usually started. He remembered a small town called Lone Hole. Mex Pete and Lobo went there to help bring the well in ... an entirely dif ferent operation then from the crane-lifting and steam-fitting of today, as all of it had to be done by hand. Lobo was knifed over a quar rel involving 30 cents. Mex Pete quit his job to look for his friend's murderer. The last time he saw Mex Pete was In an improvised morgue alongside another hairy individual called "Seagar." He said he learned Mex Pete had knifed the wrong man and was shot for his pains. When asked about women of those days, he grudgingly ad mitted: "Some were the toughest, hell-fire females I ever saw. A woman was no good in the field unless she could hold her own." Whitfield said people who grumble now about high prices should have known those days. He paid $2 for a'n egg, $1.50 per slice of ham, 30 cents for a po tato, and 20 to 35 cents for a weak cup of coffee. The usual grease - joint restaurant meal was irom $5 to $10. i ' .;Kf,., 4 ' 1 3 m : -tjs. 1-5 Jjft I J "4iWj:t)-n( ' . ,V- aif If i mtrtttitf J FOODS NEED TANG IT HAS THE FLAVOR NATURE OVERLOOKED! am With all the rioting, feuding and killing, the town people had a very nice church which was full every Sunday. "They had a woman preacher. Everybody called her 'Rever end' and I never did know her right name," he said. It was almost fatal not to go to church. The Reverend did some good. She stimulated the people to bring about law and order, open up new businesses and startv living decently. Osage, in later years, thanked the Reverend for her efforts.
