There was a spike by 1980, when the census recorded 1,652, but the downward trend resumed through 2010. The decline continued until reaching a low of 1,239 in 1970. In 1940, the census reported a population of 1,407. By 1930, the population had dropped to 1,734. Major producers began to shut down or reduce operations in the early 1920s. Production began to decline sharply in 1915, and more dry holes were reported.

The town boomed, attaining a population of 2,601 by the census of 1920. By the end of 1914, the combined Yale and Cushing fields were producing 220,000 barrels a day. An even larger gusher began producing a month later. On September 23, 1913, an oil well on the Randle farm produced a gusher. By 1910, Yale had a population of 685, supported mostly by agricultural services and cotton processing. A 1907 map shows the town contained 230 acres surrounding the railroad junction, and to its east southeast the Underwood farm of 158 acres. Underwood moved his store to the new site in 1902, making the new site the permanent location for the town of Yale. Canfield began a different townsite also within Eagle Township that would be closer to the railroad, at its planned junction with the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad. When the Eastern Oklahoma Railway built its line across Payne County, a group led by George W. Underwood, who established a post office by that name in his general store, about 1.5 miles (2.4 km) east of the present town. Yale's founding in 1895 is attributed to a local farmer, Sterling F. The population was 1,059 at the 2020 census, a decline of 13.6 percent from the figure of 1,227 in 2010. He's been playing me from minute one.ĭoesn't look like it he's just watching you.Yale is a city in Payne County, Oklahoma, United States. Bastard's got a camera right in your face. Jack stop it! We're really scared and we need you right now. It's getting on to 11 AM, Jack, and I think it's gonna be a very pretty day. I don't show until all your people are gone. Good! Now you tell them that the drop point is Pershing Square.

You paying attention? Jack, you listening to me? Jack? Jack! Otherwise, you, the wildcat, and every innocent person on that bus, are gonna end up just like your friend. You can't beat me, you're gonna pay me every dollar. You're gonna do exactly as you're told! Jack, we both know he was the brains of your particular operation. I'm gonna rip your fucking spine out, I swear to God. But you know, I figured a sign that said "Howard Payne" would be pushing it. It was the watch that lead him to me, wasn't it? It seemed a little hammy to me, to build a bomb out of my precious retirement gift. Now, the number of the bus is 2525, it's running downtown from Venice. We can't pull that kind of money in time!įOCUS, JACK! Your concern is the bus. If you try to take any passengers off the bus, I will detonate it. There are rules, Jack, and I want you to get this right. What do you do? What do you do?Īha, very good. Once the bus goes 50 miles an hour, the bomb is armed. No this is about ME! This is about my money, this is about money DUE ME! Which I WILL collect! 3.7 Million dollars! It's my nest egg, Jack, at my age you have to think ahead. You ruined a man's life's work and you think you can walk away? You got blinders on to the world! But I got your attention now, didn't I Jack? You couldn't understand the kind of commitment that I have.

You think I wouldn't have been prepared? Two years I spent setting up that elevator job, two years I invested in it.
