White Men Are Scared and Request
Police Protection—Crazy Snake’s
Failure to Receive Recognition in
Washington Said to be the Cause
MUSKOGEE: The Snake Indians
and part or the Creek tribe are again
in revolt and this time it seems that
there will be bloodshed.
They have boon .in constant com-
munication with the Ketoowahs of the
Cherokee nation holding councils of
war. and as a result the Ketoowahs
have left their homes, stock, grain and
everything and gone up in the Green
Leaf mountains, where they, will hold
their war dance and they say on their
return they will kill every white man
in sight.
This was learned through three
couriers who caiue in today from Tex-
ana. I. T., the seat of the Ketoowahs
tribe. The Snakes have gone to Flat
Hock, where their medicine is made,
and the residents of that section await
the result with anxiety.
Reports from the southeastern por-
tion of the Creek nation indicate that
another uprising of the Snake faction
is not altogether unlikely. Hands of
these Indians, chiefly the younger and
less reasonable element, have been
congregating in the mountains far re-
moved from the towns and are daily
practicing with rifles and sidearms.
A delegation of white men from that
section was here to request of Indian
Agent Shoenfelt that police protection
he afforded them. They declared that
one hand of these Indians, headed by
AYachache. a medicine man. had been
making requisitions on the stock In
the neighborhood ami built themselves
a fortified eamp.
The failure of Crazy Snake, the lead
er or this faction, to secure recogni-
tion in Washington recently is said
to he responsible for the present
trouble.

CARTER HARRISON INDICTED
Coroner'a Jury Fixing Blame of Iro
quois Theatre Fire
CHICAGO: The coroner s jury which
for three weeks has been listening to!
evidence relating to the tire in the Iro 1
quois theatre, returned a verdict by
which the following persons are held
to await the action of the grand jury:
Carter H. Harrison, mayor of Chi !
eago; Will J. Davis, proprietor in part j
and manager of the theatre; George
Williams, building commissioner o|
the city; Edward Laughlin. building In-
spector under Williams; William Sal
lor*. fireman in the theatre; James E
Cummings, stage carpenter; William:
McMullen, who had charge of the;
lights that caused the lire; and Fin
Marshal Wifliam Musham.
The findings were as follows:
“The cause of the lire was drapery
coming in contact, with a flood of arc
light. City laws were not complied
with relating to building ordinances
regulating fire alarm boxes, fire appa-
ratus, damper on flues on and over
the stage and fly galleries, requiring
tire proofing of scenery and all wood-
work on and about the stage. The
asbestos curtain, which was wholly
inadequate, was entirely destroyed.
The building ordinances were violated
in that the aisles were closed on eaclj
side of the lower boxes, that tire a|«
paratus was absent from the orchestra
floor, and that there was no fire appa-
ratus in the gallery or first balcony.
Will J. Davis was held responsible a?
president and general manager; ht
was primarily responsible for the ob-
servance of the laws and was bound
to see that his employes were proper
ly instructed in their duties in cast
of tire.’’
In relation to Mayor Harrison, tht
verdict reads as follows:
“We hold Carter H. Harrison, ar,
mayor of the city of Chicago, respon-
sible as he has shown a lamentable)
lack of force and for efforts to escape
responsibility, evidenced by the test!*
motiy.
“The building commissioner, Wll
Hams and Fire Marshal Musham. a;
heads of departments under said Car-
ter H. Harrison, following his weak
course, has given such insufficient set*
vice, which makes such calamities as
the Iroquois theatre horror a menaeq
until the public service is purged ot
in* uivetency.
“Building Commissioner Williams
was held lor gross neglect of his duty
in allowing the theatre to open its
doors to the public when the said
theatre was incomplete and did not
comply with the building ordinances
of the city of Chicago."
Fire Marshal Musham was held re
sponsible "for gross neglect of dutj
in not enforcing the city ordinances
and failure to have his subordinate,
William Sellers, fireman at the theatre,
report to him tlie lack of tire apparatus
at Hie theatre.’’ Sellers was held for
not reporting the lack of fire appa
rat us; McMullen for carelessness in
handling the fight that caused the
lire. Cummings as stage carpenter
for not providing tin* stage with prop-
er tire protection.
A special grand jury will convene
next week to re-open the investiga
tion and decide what action shall lie
taken on the report of the coroner’s
jury. The charges as far as the city
officials are concerned, which tlie
grand jury will consider, is malfeas-
ance in office. Conviction means their
removal from office in addition to
other penalty.
Maneuvers for Fort Sill
LAWTON: The war department lias
ordered out an examiner who will lie
here in a few days to look over the
Fort Sill reservation, with h view of
holding the regular army maneuvers
at this point. Fort Sill is the most
suitable place for the maneuvers, as
the government owns so much land
that it would not have to lease any
land as it was forced to do at Fort
Riley, Kan.

best men in the district under peace

Miss Colville is a lady and a good
teacher, but she took the notice seri-
ously ami took care to be safe from

light that they were not her enemies,
however, and the whole affair has turn

FROM ALLOTING LAND
MISSISSIPPI CHOCTAWS ARE TOO LATE
Choctaw and Chickamaw Nation! Se-
cure the Writ—Mississippi Choc-
taws Allowed Too Much Liberty by
Department—Time Limit Expires
MUSKOGEE: The federal court of
the western district has passed upon
Ihe application of the attorneys lor
the Choctaw anil Chickasaw nations
for an injunction to restrain the Dawes
commission from giving allotments in
the Choctaw nation to certain Missis-
sippi Choctaws, and the petition was
granted.
When the order was made to admit
Ihe Mississippi Choctaws to citizen-
ship in the Choctaw nation and put
them on an equal looting with resident
Choctaws a time limit of six months
was set by the eomimssion for these
Indians to come to the territory and
take their allotments. They did not
all come and the secretary of interior
ordered the time extended. The re-
mainder of the Choctaws, several bun
ilred, then got in ami it is these that
Hie attorneys are objecting to and
which they prayed in the petition
grantee? to have the commission stop-
ped from aiioting. *
If this injunction stands it means
that Mississippi Choctaws will lie cut
out of property that Is worth four or
live million dollars. Of course, tl,o
matter will he contested and will pro-
bably be carried to the supreme court.

fche second time this bridge has boon
washed out during course of construc-
tion, ami each time the loss has boon
many thousand dollars. The first time
many of the heavy bridge timbers were
caught farther down the river ami
rafted back to the bridge ami tlie same
effort is being made. The new bridge
for the same railroad across the Ar-
kansas is 9HH intact and will stal’d.
The Virdigris is one of the most
treacherous streams in the territory
and one of the hardest to bridge.

Chicago, appeared before the town
council ami released the town of Du-
rant from the recent agreement to
sell to this firm the $104,000 in water-
works, electric light and school bonds
at par ami expeuscs.
Mr. Yoris stated as his reason for
annulling tlie contract was owing to
the threatened litigation in which the
matter was subjected to in the way
of an application for an injunction,
claiming that the investing world was
sensitive, ami that it would affect the
final sale of the inmds. Following the
annuilment of the contract by Mr.
Voris appeared as a representative of
an eastern concern ami offered to take
the $104,000 in bonds at par and pay
expenses. Tlie council accepted the
offer with the provision thkt certain

manner in which tlie bonds are to lie

PETITIONS FOR OPENING R0AD3
Over Three Hundred Petitions fci
Opening up Highways
MUSKOGEE: There are now piled
up on the desk of the ludian agent
200 petitions for roads to lie opened in
the Creek nation, according to the
Creek agreement. The agent is work
ing his police overtime in an endeavor
to get as many roads as possible be-
fore there is action taken by the'court
of the district before which is pend
ing a petition for a restraining order
to stop the agent from using any tribal
moneys to defray the expenses o!
opening the roads in the nation. The
hearing of this petition is set for the
27th of the month, and the agent at at
ed today that he was going to proceed,
regardless of the pending petition ami
would open every road that he pos
sibly could before the injunction in
passed upon. The matter is being
contested by the (’reek attorney, whu

PARDON FOR CHARLES WEST
Petition to Governor in Case of Osag<
Indian Boy
GUTHRIE: Gov. Ferguson lias been
petitioned to pardon Charles West, an
Osage Indian boy. who is serving n
term of three years in the territorial
penitentiary for horse stealing. West
lias served over a year of Ills term.
Under the laws governing the Osage
nation, which is attached to Pawner
county for judicial purposes, horse
stealing in that nation, when commit
led by an Indian, is punishable under
Hie territorial law. which gives a mini-
mum sentence ot one year or u maxi-
mum of five years in the penitentiary:
on the other hand, if a white man
commits such an offense in Hie Osage
country, lie is punishable under the
federal law. which imposes a penalty
of bui one year in (lie federal jail. The
Indian thus gels the worst of it, and
this is made one of th** principal argil
ments in flu* petition to th«* governor
as presented by Attorney Charles J
Wrightsman of Pawnee. The other
argument is that West’s heallh is fail-
ing, and Dial if incarcerated longer ha
will surely die of consumption.
