CONTINUE THEIR THREATS.
Snakes Say They Will Burn Town of
BristOw.

Bristow, I. T., Jan. 28-At day
break this morning a line of Snake In
dams rode up to the Jail, but not
finding Tom Tiger there they whirled
their horses and rode off in the direc-
tion of Big Deep Fort.
The Indians still threaten to lay the
town in ashes, but "Pawnee Bill
thinks, now that Tom Tiger has been
moved to Muskogee, it will have a ten
dency to make them reconsider, as
they did not think the federal govern
ment would take a hand in their in
ternal government. Signal fires were
burned in the southeast early this
morning and a big council is to be
held on Big Deep Fork, about 20 miles
south.
"Pawnee Bill" left tonight for Mus
kogee and will make an attempt to
meet Old Snake and his followers.

SNAKE CHIEF TALKS
Says Choctaws Do Not In
tend to Commit Any
Depredations.

South McAlester, I. T. Jan. 28-
Daniel Bell, chief of the Choctaw
Snakes, when interviewed today.
stated that the Indians we're not on
the war path and would not modest
white people or their property. Rail
road property was safe. There was
no danger of bridges being burned.
The Indians organization was form
ulated for mutual protection, he said,
and will be kept up, but not as a men,
ace to the white people. Bell claims
to have authority from the president
to be governed by the treaty of 1880,
and none other is recognized. The
Choctaw Snakes want to hold lands
in common and are opposed to allot-
ment. No further trouble is expected.

OF Sheriff Porter. The sheriff soon
was in a rage and at last, boiling with
anger under the %scorching attack, he
broke away and rushing toward a
newspaper man in the crowd who had
pointed at him, seized the offender s
collar and made a motion to strike
him. Others interfered and Porter
returning to Mrs. Nations side, asked
her to his private office to continue
the argument alone. The chief Of
police was picked out for the next on
slaught, but his office was found locked
and Mrs. Nation harangued a crowd
that had gathered in the street BAL
the city hall.

TECHNICAL PLEA SAVES PAT
ERsON MURDERER.
OTHERS MAY GET N
Destroyers Of Jennie Bosschieter to
Be Arraigned for Sen
tence Today.

Kerr, who was Jointly indicted with
McAllister. Campbell and Death on
the charge of murder in the first de-
gree in connection with the death Of
Jennie Bosschieter, was unexpectedly
brought into court today before Judge
Dixon, and he pleaded non vulC to the
charge of assault.
Public Prosecutor Emley said that
while he had made every preparation
to place Kerr on trial on the indict-
ment found against him, he felt in
clined to accept the plea Of non vult,
in view of the statements made by
counsel as to ,Kerr's connection with
the girls death, which seemed to be
corroborated by general facts Of the
case. Prosecutor Emley announced
today that he would have McAllister,
Kerr, Campbell and Death arraigned
in court tomorrow and would move
that sentence be pronounced at once.
1t is the general opinion here that
all the prisoners, except Kerr, will re-
ceive the extreme penalty for murder
in the second degree, of which they
were convicted. The full penalty is
30 years imprisonment at hard labor.
It is also believed that Kerr will be
sentenced to the full penalty of the
law on the charge to which he has
pleaded non vult, which is Is years.
Imprisonment at hard labor.
Kerr's plea of non vult contendere
to the charge of rape has the same
effect as a plea of guilty, though tech
nically it is not, being all admission Of
counsel.

Obstacles to the Jeffries-Ruhlin
Prize Fight Continue
Multiplying.

Cincinnati, Jan. 2S-The attorneys
who were in consultation with Cover
nor Nash and Attorney General Sheets
at the state capitol today returned to
this city tonight, but too late to file a
petition for an injunction. A suit in
the name of the state against the di-
rectors and members of the Saenger-
fest Athletic association will b.
brought in one of the local courts to-
morrow.
The attorneys and others who are
opposing the Jeffries- Rubin contest
will not indicate in what court they
will ask for a restraining order. One
of the local judges recently instructed
the grand jury to bring indictments
against the members Of the Saenger-
fest Athletic association, and the
promoters OF the fight feel that they
would be enjoined at once if an in
The dispositions of the different
judges have been much commented
upon today and it is thought by some
that there are n or two other judges
who approved of the instructions to
the grand jury, while it is said that
most of the judges here did not ap-
prove of that action. At any rate, ac-
cording to street talk tonight, much
depends upon the judge before whom
the petition for an injunction is
heard.
AS the attorneys who will present
the petition represent the ministers
and all others opposing the prize fight,
it is generally conceded that they
will go into the court in which they
think they have the best chance to Sc
cure an injunction. While the drift of
local opinion is that the fight will be
pulled off here February Is, yet the
proceedings in Columbus today throw
another obstacle in the way Of the
promoters.
