• There are hundreds
more, and very few are the
same. One wonders where
all .these come from. Over
by Cushing, we heard one
give his handle as "All
Taken." His CB Buddy
asked him to come again
because he didn't under-
stand that. The voice on
the comeback said, "I tried
to think up a handle, but they
were all taken, so I just
settled on 'All Taken' ".
We were coming back
through Drumright and
Oilton one evening about
dark, and the conversation
on the CB airwaves was
about a Smokey in the area
somewhere. This one
CB'er was having difficulty
in pinning down just where
the Bear was, when a deep,
military like voice came
clearly over the CB's, "If
all of you would drive with
in the speed limits you would
not have to worry about
ME." You could hear a pin
drop all over Creek county.

"Power of the Pen". (Apri
25, 1977 issue)-- "Law and
order remains a hot issue in
the 1977 session of the
Legislature. It seems that
every other bill is on the
subject.
This is particularly inter-
esting in light of a Justice
Department report issued
last week. It proves anew
that if you want to be a
criminal, be sure and go into
white collar crime. Even if
you fail at it, the punishment
is slim or none.
Only a year ago the federal
government successfully
prosecuted 23 firms and 48
corporate executives for
rigging prices on cardboard
boxes.-The roughest sen-
tence was 60 days, knocked
down finally to 15 days to be
served nights and weekends.
How come?
An Oklahoman whose
, greatness was recognized
only after his death--typical-
ly Oklahoman, eh?--once
summed it up in a single
sonnet: Woody Guthrie
wrote "As through this
world I've rambled--I've
seen lots of funny men--
some rob you with a six
gun--and some with a
fountain pen."
One who in no way "robs
• you with his pen and is
interested in law and order
from a historical viewpoint,
at least, is Glenn Shirley.
The Perkins man, we claim,
has just published "Red
yesterdays". The western
novel depicts characters and
events concerning wild Indi-
ans," bullfighters and bull-
doggers, bronco busters,
heroes in petticoats, rapists
and rogues.
His recent book review
gave some highlights of the
book:"Black Beaver, the
WE California Navel Patio"Assorted" I]ll

Abe Lincoln of the Dela-
wares. "did all he could to
encourage billigerent tribes
to accept reservation life. He
interpreted for every agent
and missionary in the
Territory, made oral transla-
tions of the Bible and was in
demand as a speechmaker."
Shirley calls the man "the
most prominent of all
Indians."
The "Dusky Demon,"
sometimes known as the
black cowboy, learn-bulldog-
ging from his own bulldog,
Spike. Bill Pickett originated
the quick twist of the horns
which brought the steer's
nose upward. The relatively
small cowboy then clamped
his big teeth into the cow's
upper lip rendering much
pain to the animal bringing it
down, just as Pickett had
seen his bulldog do.
Billy McGinty, who work-
ed with cowboys on the
Turkey Track Ranch, came to
know some members of the
Doolin gang there. The
former Rough Rider was
known as the "pint sized
brahe twister."
From "Women of Des-
tiny" to "Rogues and
Rapists", the author reveals
little known or forgotten
parts of the Red Yesterdays.
Perhaps, the Oklahoma
author feels, history has
chosen to forget them. The
Cherokee Strip Opening has
a history of at least three
hangings over land disputes.
