BIG BATTLE 1S IMMINENT Whole State Militia Takes Field Under Orders to Capture or Kill Entire Band. Oklahoma City, Okla., March 30. — Chief Crazy Snake and his murderous band, who since last Thursday has caused the death of six men, the wounding of many others and brought about a condition of terror in Henry- etta, Pierce and all surrounding coun- ties, retreated last night before five companies of militia, thus deferred an expected battle until today. Hastily setting fire to his tepees and tents, the Indian leader, with his mixed company of redskins and ne- groes, fled from the blazing camp as the troops advanced. They took up a. strong position between the North Canadian river and Deep Fork creek, about seven miles east of Henryetta. Big Battle Expected. Col. Hoffman, in command of the state troops. considered it unwise to push the pursuit and engage the In- dians in the darkness. Accordingly he bivouacked his troops for the night. Early in the morning, rein- forced by a company of cowboys from near Lawton, Okla., all crack shots, he will lead his forces against the In- dians. Crazy Snake and his braves will be offered a chance to surrender. If they refuse the battle will be on. The militia officers believe Crazy Snake wants to reach the Tiger mountains with his followers before engaging in a general fight. Would Stir Up Whole Band. That the old chief is striving to stir the Creeks to an uprising and strike for what he conceives to be liberty was evident from the smoke of three signal fires on adjacent hills just before sundown. Old-time fron- tiersmen, who insist they know what such things mean, declare this is a signal which always ushered in In- dian trouble. Nobody is wild enough to say the old chief will get anywhere in his fanatical dream of overturning the government, but certain it is that he is trying and it is certain he will be ruthlessly crushed if he persists. Score of Negroes Killed. Six men have been killed and a dozen wounded since the trouble be- gan Thursday. This is the official re- port, and it is generally believed many more of the negroes and In- dians were killed. Dr. I, M. Wallace of Dustin, Okla., who went to the Hickory Hills with the troops yester- day, declared more than twenty ne- groes were killed Thursday and Sat- urday. Sunday was full of thrill. Al Oklahoma was aroused. Ag the re- ports of the slaying of Marshal Baum and Deputy Sheriff Odom were spread broadcast the people were inflamed with a determination to make an end to the murderous band. All Troops Ordered Out. While all this was going on the state officials were getting aroused. Gov. Haskell ordered out .troops by wholesale. Every company in Okla- homa either was rushed to the front or ordered to prepare to go. ‘It was learned yesterday afternoon that the Indians last Thursday re- ceived 75,000 rounds of ammunition by freight at Council Hill. A camp of fleeing negro outlaws tried yesterday to murder the family of Charles Johnson, a farmer living near the Hickory Hills. They riddled the doors and windows with bullets, but were driven away before they succeeded in doing murder. How It Started. This first Indian uprising in years has had this portion of the state on edge for three days past. It has been plotted and prepared for two months. It broke out last Thursday when some deputy sheriffs went to Henry- etta to arrest some negro cattle thieves. They were fired on by the negroes ang beat a retreat. A few hours later they returned with addi- tional forces and were fired on by the band, then augmented by some of Crazy Snake’s Indians. In this clash three were killed and five wounded. Forty-one arrests were made. Meanwhile Crazy Snake’s followers determined upon an aggressive cam- paign. The chief's plans had to be prematurely sprung on account of the unexpected raid of the deputies on Henryetta. ? Deputies fanned the flame by hunt- ing strenuously for the leaders, and Crazy Snake, forced to the wall, de- termined to strike a hard blow in an effort to escape. Saturday night part of his band was run to cover by dep- uties in search for leaders in Thurs- day’s fight. Marshal Baum of Checo- tah and Deputy Odom of Eufaula paid their lives as a price. They were shot down, according to Crazy Sneke’s son, by Charles Croker, a Seminole Indian. This event aroused the state authorities. Gov. Haskell ordered out the militia and the word was passed out that the band must Gipsy Smith Begins His Campaign in . St. Paul. om St. Paul, March 30.—Six thousand people helped Gipsy Smith start his big revival series in St. Paul at the Auditorium, and they satisfied Mr. Smith immensely. He said so several times while occupying the stage, and repeated it afterward in private con- versation. — While the evangelist did not at- tempt any of the talks that have made him a famous revivalist, he ap- peared to find favor with the audi- ence, for he was accorded the closest attention and given hearty encour- agement whenever occasion offered, The place was only two-thirds full, but Mr. Smith declared that the gath- ering was a tremendous one for the first meeting and much larger than he had anticipated.

From late Saturday night until last evening the offices of Patrick Calhoun and his legal staff were in charge of William J. Burns’ men, ‘who were armed with a search warrant. The search of the rooms was begun after the occupants, attorneys asso- ciated in the defense of Calhoun, had refused the detectives admission and the glass door had been broken in. The work of looking over every pa- per found in the several rooms was finished last night, after two safes filled with Calhoun’s personal papers and another used by Thornwell Mul- lally had been forced open by an ex- pert called in by the officers.

RIVERS ARE ON A RAMPAGE Minnesota and Cottonwood Rivers Are Flooding Bottom Lands— Gorge Dynamited. New Ulm, Minn., March 29.—The Minnesota and Cottonwood rivers are on a rampage. They are fiooding the bottom lands, and are within a few inches of the high water mark of last June, when hundreds of thousands of dollars’ damage was lone to crops. The ice in the Cottonwood river formed an ice gorge from its mouth near the Minnesota river up to the Bentzin dam, and the flouring mill at that point and the steel and concrete bridge were threatened with destruc- tion by an immense volume of water. The huge ice fices damaged the mill dam and the iron railing of the bridge. The city authorities dynamited the ice gorge near the mouth of the Cot- tonwood, and the outrush of water caused the Minnesota to back water, and a rise of four feet within twenty- four hours was recorded. All travel from the Nicollet county side has been interrupted. The ap- proaches of the three bridges are flooded more than five feet deep, and both rivers still are rising, although there has been a slow thaw and no rainfall. Many feet of snow still is piled up in the timber lands and ra- vines. Unless the waters recede shortly farmers will suffer even larg- er damage than last year. WOMAN’S KISS KILLS NURSE.

Washington, March 24.—The tariff bill held full sway in the house of representatives yesterday. The meas- ure was promptly put before the body immediately after convening, and in anticipation of the opening of the de- bate there was practically a full at- tendance of members and crowded galleries. Mr, Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on ways and means, made an_ exhaustive speech in explanation of the bill, the time he was actually on his feet be- ing four hours anq ten minutes. Then, somewhat fatigued, he suspend- ed until today. He was subjected to & crossfire of questions, all of which he endeavored to answer. Mr, Payne, in speaking of the maxi- mum features of the bill, predicted that France, Germany and other Euro- pean countries would hasten to so equalize their duties on American products that they would derive the benefit of the minimum rates offered. The organization of the senate com- mittees was the chief business before that body yesterday, and owing to the fact that the detail work had been done by the Republican and Democratic caucuses it was soon dis- posed of. Many bills were introduced and re- ferred to committees, Washington, March 24.—Occupying. the entire session of the house yes- terday Mr. Payne of New York, chairman of the committee on ways and means, concluded his speech in explanation of the tariff bill. He was on his feet almost all of the five hours and ten minutes that he had the floor. At times he gave evidence of being greatly fatigued and leaned on his desk, hoping in that way to get a little rest. Washington, March 25.—Declaring, among other things, a mistake was made in the Payne tariff bill in not arranging the revision on the basis of raising revenue only on every item, Mr. Clark of Missouri, the minority leader, yesterday held the attention of the house for more than five hours in discussing the measure. Incidentally he pointed out that much time would have been saved in the consideration of the bill had the Democratic mem- ber sof the committee been consulted about the various provisions of the proposed law. Washington, March 26.—A voluntary admission by Mr. Vreeland of New York that he was to some extent re- sponsible fof the retention of the coun- tervailing duty on oil in the Payne tariff bill, was the climax of the day’s discussion of the tariff in the house yesterday. Mr. Vreeland had sat for some time and heard various insini- ations that that duty, which some have characterized as a “joker,” was to be levied solely in the interest of the Standard Oil company. This he denied, and explained that his action was in response to requests from thousands of his oil producing constituents and in behalf of 500,000 others engaged in the same business. The debate on the oil schedule called forth some bitter crit- icism of the Standard Oil company by Mr. Kustermann of Wisconsin and oth- ers, The senate was in session only an hour and fifteen minutes yesterday and adjourned until next Monday. Practi- cally all the time except fifteen min- utes spent in executive session was devoted to the introduction of bills, resolutions and memorials. Washington, March 27.—The monot- ony of the tariff debate in the house of representatives was relieved for a time yesterday by a clash between Messrs, Fordney of Michigan and Byrd of Mississippi, which came near ending in blows. Mr. Fordney had been making an exhaustive discussion of the Iumber schedule when he was interrupted by the Mississippian, who insisted that the lumber manufactur- ers, of which Mr. Fordney was one, were in a trust. Mr. Fordney peremp- torily denied the statement and said that Mr. Byrd “didn’t know a d—n thing about it.” The Mississippi member made a move toward Mr. Fordney and was in the act of removing his coat when some of his Democratic colleagues took hold of him. Later it developed that the incident grew out of a mis- understanding and both men made mutual explanations and _ apologies. Mr. Fordney made a notable speech on the subject of lumber and pleaded for better protection on that product in the rough. Posse Kills Two. Tucumcari, N. M., March 28.—John Johnson, a negro, and Sebastian San- doval, a Mexican, were killed near Cuervo, N. M., yesterday after a long pursuit by a posse.
