"What could anyone be doin' that would keep Oklahoma from becomin' a state?" "Unfortunately, I don't know! I do have a list of the way things are supposed t'be, so we need t'go through it an' figure out what's goin' on that's different!" "But... what... how th' heck did you get that?!" "Let's just say Doc Wonmug has some very special ways of getting information!" "Okay, first thing here is a list of all th' land owners at th' time of statehood!" "I don't know where you got that list, mister, but it's wrong!!" "The list is wrong?! What's th' problem?" "Right there! It lists my husband as owner of that section near Bartlesville!" "So he doesn't own it?!" "Oh, he did... 'til some fancy-dressed stranger came t'town a few weeks ago and sweet-talked the people at th' claim office and STOLE th' land right out from under us! That's why I'm working here... we lost everything!" "Why, they can't just come steal your land! You should appeal! Who's in charge of this?" "A man named Haskell over in Guthrie! ...But nobody's seen him for days!"
