Kansas City, Jan. PA special to
the Star from Muskogee. l. T., says:
The fact that General Let has order
ed a detachment of cavalry from Fort
Reno to the scene of the Indian upris-
ing in the Creek Nation has aroused
the Creeks to a greater degree of de-
fiance, and they are sending out light
horsemen all over the Five Civilized
Tribes country, appealing to those dis
satisfied to join them against the sol
diers.
May Join the Creeks.
Governor Brown of the Seminoes has
appealed to the authorities here for aid,
as a number of his tribe threaten to
join the Creeks, and it is expected that
within twenty-four hours they will num-
her over 1000 armed Indians, all of
whom will be compelled to swear allie
glance to their cause and stand in de-
Tense against the soldiers.
Marshal Bennett and Indian Agent
Shoenfelt have ~marshalled their forces
of deputies and Indian police together
and have ordered them to go to Brush
Hill, located ten miles west of Checo-
tina, where the Indians are in council,
and demand their surrender.
Carry a Message.
They also carry a message from
these government officials stating that
If the Indians will law down their arms
and submit to arrest that they will be
treated with every courtesy, and be
consulted in the settlement of their
grievances. Some fear that this move
is not a wise one, while others are say
%contending for, and that the Indians
are willing to compromise.
The cavalry ordered from Fort Reno
will arrive owe the Choctaw at Holden
vile and will make an overland charge
into the nation.

The MarshaI's Admonition.
81 was indeed sorry on yesterday to
learn that the so-called Snake bands
have continued to organize a so-called
Snake bands have continued to organ-
ize a so-called government and to elect
officers and adopt a code of laws, and
are endeavoring to now enforce such
laws.
Il say l I'M sorry to learn this, be-
cause these misguided people are thus
setting themselves up in open rebellion
against the constituted authorities and
are thereby themselves violating the
laws of this country. These people, the
members of the so-called Snake band,
have become violators of the laws, and
while justic may be sometimes slow to
set In motion, there is no sort of ques-
ton but that every one concerned with
the Snake band, whether as principal
chief, %so-called, or as light horsemen,
Judge or otherwise, as an alder and
abettor in the outrages which they
have committed, will be brought to
justice II required to answer in the
courts for their offenses and crimes.
Every person, whether citizen In
dlan) or non-cltiZen, has the legal right
to resist this band in attempts to arrest
or to in any way interfere with such
person in the pursuit of his lawful bust
ness, and this resistance. if necessary,
may go so far as to take the lives of
these men when such person is attack
ed. Troops have been called for, and
1t is with a desire to save these mis-
guided people from this fate that some
more determined action has not now
come when force will be used against
force, and the warrants | now have and
may receive for members Of this band
will be served, no matter what the cost
to them.
