Died. Thomas A. Gilcrease, 72, Oklahoma oil mogul, a part Creek Indian who was allotted 160 acres of tribal land beneath which he found a bonanza, some $12 million of which he spent amassing a collection of Indian Americana, ranging from the art and annals of 45 tribes to Frontier Painters Frederic Remington and George Catlin's best oils on the fading redskin, which he gave to the city of Tulsa; of a stroke; in Tulsa, Okla...
