concerning the lease of the st. Paul by any
other road He emphatfcally said MOI" He also
said that nothing was done toward effecting a
closer relation with any other railroad COM

INDIAN TROUBLE NEAR AN END.
ARREST OF CRAZY SNAKE, 1T is BELIEVED,
WILL. PREVENT ANY OVERT ACTS.

Henrietta Ind T. Jan. 2S-Chitto Harjo. or
Crazy Snake leader of the warning Creeks. who
was made United States prisoner yesterday, re-
mained suIlen to-day and refused to confer with
Lieutenant Dixon. II is believed. however. that
the willy chief will or later show friendly
spIrit and that the result will be prompt ending
of the Insurrection.
1t is argued that Harjo and his followers have
been taught to have a greater respect for the
Army officer than for the deputy marshals. be-
lieving that the soldier is more apt to treat them
fairly This has been brought about not by the
marshals's actions but because deputy here
and there in the past has not acted wisely toward
them.
The news of the capture of Harjo reached Henri
eta last night. When the chief. mounted and sur
rounded by four deputies. appeared at the tent OF
Lieutenant Dixon. ne was greeted considerably
Fifty soldiers, grouped about a campfire. sang
The Blue and the Gray" while Lieutenant Dixon
made friendly Overtures to the prisoner. The
Indian sat. stoical and proud, in his saddle.
Tell him that the officer wishes to shake his
hand as a friend" said Lieutenant Dixon to the
interpreter. Harjo grunted his response, and
slipped from his pony. In the mean time soldiers
had hurriedly prepared tent for the chief, while
others grouped themselves about him. reporter
pressed the interpreter to get him to talk but
Crazy Snake shook his head and would only say:
Not tonight; maybe tomorrow"
The capture of Crazy Snake is believed here TO be
the most important move since the outbreak He
has been the agftator and the real leader of the
dissatisfied Indians and now that he Is safely In IN
his followers will soon be brought to terms.
South McAlester Ind T.. Jan. S-Daniel Bell,
chief of the Choctaw Snakes, stated to-day that
the Indians are not on the warpath. and will not
molest white neople nor their property, and that
the railroad property is safe and there Is dan
ger of bridges being burned The rndianss organza-
ton. as perfected for mutual protection, will be
kept up. but not menace to the white people
Chief Bell claims to have authority from the Pres-
dent to be governed by the Treaty of 1885, and none
other is recognized. The Choctaw Snakes want to
hold lands in common and are opposed 10 allOt-
ment No further trouble Is expected.
Omaha. Jan 2s-A telegram was received to-
day at the headquarters of the Department of the
Missouri from Lieutenant Dixon. in command OF
Troop A. sth Cavalry. saying he anticipated an
early settlement of the troubles with the anti-allo
ment Creeks in the Territory.
