BURNED AT THE STAKE.
Awful Punishment Visited Upon
2 "A Two Seminole Indians.
Authors Of a Brutal Crime in Ok
t lahoma-They Are Captured by
=; n Furious Mob and Are.
Roasted Alive.

Fort Smith, Ark, Jan. 1O.-A mob
captured J. AIarkus McGeisey and
Palmer Simpson, Seminole Indians, and
burned them at the stake. They were
charged with having outraged, and muir
dered Mrs. James Simmons, wife of
farmer in OKLAHOMA near Wewoka., The
men were 'fo1loWed,to McGeisey's home
near Maud and arrested. McGeisey's
house and barn were burned and the
prisoners were taken back to the scene
of their crime. The two men We're Sc
curely bound to stakes and fire was
piled around them. They were slowly
burned to death. The mob then dis
persed. This is the second case where.
mob has taken the law into it's own
hands in Oklahoma in 25 years, and
both times the men came from across
the border. There was o secrecy about
the burning, but no one seems to know
who the persons are who took part in
| it. Trouble is feared from the Indians
in the neighborhood, and the farmers
are arming themselves to be prepared
for an attack from the friends of the
! dead men. ~, -
The crime which led to the burning
of the two men was committed on last
[:Thursday. Markus McGeisey was the
owner of some property. On his land
lived white family named Simmons
During the absence of the husband on
Thursday McGeisey went to the Sim
mons cabin and asked for a drink of
| water. Mrs. Simmons was at home,with
/ hor f0l1r .bilIror Tho T,I;,,,
was given the water and he then asked
! for saddle. On being refused the sad
| die McGeisey grabbed the woman, who
had her baby in her arms, and dragged
her out Of the house. When the woman
| attempted to run away the Indian
seized Winchester rifle and dealt her
a deadly blow on the head, crushing the
skull. The woman died instantly. The
| murdered woman's husband did not
return home Thursday evening and the
| children were unable to remove the
body into the house from where it had
fallen in the yard. The little ones stad
Eup and watched their mothers corpse
until the bitter cold compelled them to
relax their vigil and seek shelter from
the weather in the cabin. During the
night the body was almost devoured by
hogs.
I An alarming state of rioting and
,hatred exists owing to the burning of
+ the men. Unless immediate steps are
taken by the United States authorities
the Indians may go on the warpath.
Sunday night DR.. C. B. Linn. chief ply
stefan of the Seminole nation, tele-
graphed to both Indian Agent Wisdom
and Marshal Bennett for assistance in
quelling the disorder that prevails in
the nation. Both the Indians who were
burned came from respecta bic Seminole
families, and their fearful fate has
aroused their friends and relatives to
frenzy. All the authorities here recog-
nize that the situation is nearer that
bordering upon dangerous Indian up
rising than any in recent years. and are
taking prompt measures to quellit.

Eleven dead negroes and one dead
white man and one negro and three
white men seriously wounded, is the re-
suit at this writing OF the bloody war
being waged between the white and
black races in the Harpersville neigh
borhood of this (ScotD county. Several
of the rioters have been captured and
lodged in Jail at Forest today, but the
others escaped into the swamps. Large
crowds of white men are in close our
suit, however, and more names are
hourly expected to be added to the
death list Following is a partial list
of the killed:
Black-Fish Burke, ]. e. Gatewood,
Henry Anderson, John Gatewood, Hush
Anderson, Sim Haralson, Ben Haral-
son.
White-W. H. Sibley.
The wounded: Black-Bed Pace.
White-James Hamilton, NJ. Johnson,
James Armstrong.
It is impossible to obtain a full list
OF the killed, for the reason that some
of the negroes were shot down in the
woods and were hurriedly buried by
the whites where they fell. A member
OF the posSee said that he helped bury
the negroes in trenches, but neither
himself or any one in his crowd knew
their names, and they did not care
enough about them to inquire.
Governor McLaurin went to Harpers-
vile last night, and appealed to the
whites not to molest the prisoners in
the custody of the sheriff. The govern
ors talk had good, effect on the ma
iority OF those in tie crowd, but some
of the hot-headed members did not rel
ish the governors interference. but he
finally persuaded the crowd to let the
sheriff take the prisoners to Jail. Sher-
If Stevenson had Dlaceds additional
guards at the Forest jail, TO prevent
the lynching of the rioters now in GUS
tody. Two negroes who are under ar
rest have made full confession
The funeral of the murdered officer.
Sibley, occurred at Har9arsville today,
and was attended by hundreds of 0eo-
pie. It is reported here that tN of
the murdered mans brothers are on
their way from his home in Yazoo
county, at the head of a large crowd,
bound Cor the scene of the race war.
1t is feared that when they arrive q de-
termined and successful assault will be
made on the Forest jail. and all of the
rioters confined therein lynched.
Later-Sheriff Stevenson considered
the situation so serious tonight that he
decided to take the prisoners to Merid-
ian for safe-keeping. A large posse
was organized, and the negroes will be
placed on the 8 O'Clock train.
