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

chipped In and gave the de
ceased a nice burial,
Whitfield said the Osage wells
came in bunches. 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.

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.
