CRAZY HORSE IS SULLEN.
Refuses to Talk Thought that His Arrest VIII
End the Trouble.

henrietta, l. T., Jan. 2S.-Chitto liar-
10, or Crazy Snake. leader of the
warning Creeks. who is Il United States
prisoner here. remained sullcn. today,
and refused to confer with Lieut.. Dix
on. 1t is believed. however, that the
chief will sooner or later show a friend
ly spirit and that the result will be
prompt ending of the insurreCtion.
The news of the capture of Harjo
reached Henrietta, last night. When
the chief, mounted and surrounded by
four deputies. appeared at the tent Of
Lieut.. Dixon. he was greeted consider
| ately. Fifty soldiers grouped about a
camp fire sang THE Blue and the
Grey" while Lieut.. Dixon made friend
ly overtures to the prisoner. The Indian
sat, stolid and proud in his saddle.
Tell him that the officer wishes to
shake his hand as a friend" said Lieut.
Dixon to the interpreter.
Harjo grunted his response and
slipped from his pony. In the meantime
soldiers hurricdly prepared a tent for
the chief, while others grouped them
selves about him. a reporter pressed
| the interpreter to get him to talk but
Crazy Snake shook his head and would
only say: Not tonight; maybe tomor-
row."
The capture of Crazy Snake is bclicv-
cd here to be the most important move
since the outbreak. He has been the
agitator and the real leader of the dis
satisfied Indians. and now that he is
safely in the hands of the government
| it is believed his followers will soon
be brought to terms.

BIG RISE IN COTTON.
New EngIandc-s With Stocks on Hand Reap
the Harvest

New York, Jan. 2S.-The sole feature
OF the local market during the fore
noon was the action of the January
deal. This was Of a sensational order,
with the clique" proving itself one of
the most merciless ever formed. With
ing the first half hour shorts were bid
ding 1l.50 for January and by the close
of the first hour u cents was bid and
refused, Not until 1915 was bid were
there offerings in sufficient numbers to
even temporarily appcase the demands
of frantic shorts. Profit taking then
caused break to l. cents though this
was followed by fresh rise to so
on excited covering. The late Liver
pool cables proved more friendly while
late reports from the South told of de-
cidedly !irmcr spot markets. Specula-
ton as a whole was conservative, the
January manipulation holding the at
tention OF all branches Of the trade.
The greatest jumps in the January
option were from 1880 to 1900, from
l2.25 to ESQ thence to 12.I5. At the
latter point a New York concern repre-
scnting big New England interests
commenced to sell right and left and a
little later Il Greek house also sold
This stopped the rise and the market
sageed off to I150. The air was filled
with rumors of cotton To be delivered
from Fail River and shipments known
To have been made. this morning. by
express. guaranteed 10 be here in tim"
for January delivery. About 30,0eo
bales January changed hands before
noon 1t does not follow that long In
tercsts was liquidatcd TO this amount
as the clique bought as well as sold.
There was a sympathetic rise in Feb
ruary and March. but the general list
made reluctant advance of only to
6 points and ruled very duh.
During the balance OF the afternoon
the cotton market ruled quiet with
January closing AT ll.50 net advance
OF s. points for the day and the other
months point higher To ; points lower.
In accordance with the advance IN
January spot cotton sold AT Y cents.

Fan River Mass. Jan. 2S.-Thc stock
of cotton in this city was reduced. to-
day. by about 5Guv bales as result Of
the squeeze" in the New York cotton
market and many local brokers who
We're fortunate enough in being able 70
obtain frcightagc for their huiolhss
have cleared considerable amounts of
money as a result Of their transactions.
The price offered. today. for cotton,
1275 cents, is the highest recorded IN
Is years and Was very tempting Of
fer for local holders Of the raw mater
ial. who purchased their stocks at
prices ranging from TO 10 cents per
pound. Many Of the mills here, which
had been large supplies Of stock in
warehouses bought at low prices would
have been glad to take advantage OF
the squeeze" and resell their cotton
had ii been possible TO secure shipment
of it in time to be delivered and sam
pied in New York before the close q

who were on the inside of the move
ment and who had bought large lots
for speculative purposes. were able 70
take advantage of the New York
prices, today.
