EXAGGERATED REPORTS OF THE
CREEK UPRISING.
WHISKY WOULD START II
HAVE ARMS AND AMMUNITION,
AND ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF
SENSE.
WHISKY WOULD START II

Kansas City, Jan. Pa staff cores
pondent of the Star sent into the Creek
country to investigate the trouble among
the Indians. wires today as follows from
Muskogee I. r.;
That the situation regarding the Indian
uprising has been somewhat eXa ::ger-
ated by certain correspondents there can
be no doubt. 1t is true the Indians are
restless but SO far no violence has been
done. However, the Snake band is we'll
organized ana if whiskey should get
among them or some deputy should be-
come indiscreet there might be some
trouble, but a benelal uprising at the
present time is out of the question. The
presence of the United States troops at
Henrietta is bound to have a good ef-
feet as it will convince the Indians who
have taken Clazy Snakes word as gospel,
that the president of the United States
has not given him the authority to make
Creek laws, as he has been claiming.
Crazy Snake says that when he was
last in Washington he called upon VIM.
a. Jones, commissioner of Indian affairs
and prayed to him for relief from the un-
just terms of the Curtis act. He says
that Mr.. Jones told him to return home
AMI that the Greeks might make their
/ own laws hereafter. Snake insists that
he has signed statements from Jones to
| prove his assertion. However, no one
who has seen these letters can be found.
Politics, it is said, have entered some
I what into the exaggerated reports sent
/ out from this section. The present
! United States marshal. Leo F.. Bennett,
! has a bidder for his office, and his enc
mics. it is said, have been giving color
to the sensational reports and saying
! that another marshal would have made
Wholesale arrests from the start and
thereby put a stop to even the suspi-
! cion of an uprising. The fact of the
matter is that under recently adopted
| resolutions by the department at Wash
jngton, Bennett has been poWerless to
act without permission from the federal
officials there. This permission came
only last night. Bennett is busy today
getting provisions and supplies together
preparatory to starting tomorrow Will
about twenty deputies to Join the SOL
diers at Herietta.
Bennett says his mission Is to fight
! if necessary, but principally to convince
the Indians that Snake has no authority
from the federal government to make
laws, and that Snake and his followers
are violating the laws of the Unite'
States when they attempt to enforce tn
old laws of the Greeks.
Marshal Bennett, Indian Agent J. 3
Shoenfeldt and j. w. Sevely of the In
terror department are in constant con
sultation. All agree in saying that the
do not anticipate any serious trouble
but add that they are prepared for an
situation that may arise.

THIS AFTER
NooN-THt EXCITEMENT

TO the ranchman he said he was looking
for a bunch of cattle that he had lost.
He hastily devoured some food and, re-
mounting his morse, rode away as fast
as the animal could carry him.
Shortly after noon the posse spied
him. He endeavored to avoid them by
making long detours, but the deter
mined men were not so easily balked,
and they spread out in all directions.
Seeing that there was no possible hope of
his escape, and knowing that resistance
meant death Wolff quietly surrendered
and allowed himself to be disarmed.
After short stop at ranch the posse
started for Virginia City with their pris-
oner A courier was sent ahead to ap-

Not since the days of the vigi-

GERMAN SV n
FOR AMERICA
REFiNERS CLAMOR FOR ABOLI-
TION OF DUTIES.
RUSSIA PAYS SUGAR BOUNTY
WE TAX ALL BOUNTY SUGAR
RUSSIANS PLAYED A SMOOTH
GAME.

New York. Jan. 26.-Some apprehen-
sion is expected in sugar circles as to
the report that German retiners are pre-
pairing for sharp fight to market their
product in this country. About a year
ago the secretary of the treasury de-
cded, on complaint of the Russian am
bassador, that the Russian sugar was
not subject to a counterVailng duty for
the reason that, technically, Russian
sugar did not receive an export bounty.
The contention of the German retiners
is that Russian sugar does, in fact. re-
ceive 81 bounty, and Il demand. 1t is as
serted. is TO be officially made on the
state department that German sugars
be placed upon the same basis as Rus
sian. Should. however. the counter
vailing duty on German sugars still be
collected. il is then proposed. according
to reports just received by sugar re-
tiners, 10 pay the export bounty upon
terms identical with those controlling
Russian shipments. In that case. it is
argued, the authorities at Washington
will have no course left except to re-
move the countervailing duty.
The removal of the different duties on
Russian sugars has resulted in the mn
portation of quite an amount OF mat
product. The imports of refined sugars
during the year 1900 amounted to 1l,oll
tons compared With l."3o tons in lS9"
and a very large part of this increase
| was Russian crystals.
! If the differential duties be removed
! il is contenIed. the duty of refined oVel
! raw supplies gives the American retine1
! only about one-eighth of cent PEI
! pound advantage over foreign reilnet
| and consequently, it is further said. Ger
| man retiners will. only be required t.
undersell the American retiners abou
! one quarter of a cent per pound in orde
| TO secure business.

Virginia City, Mont, Jan. 26.-Word
was received here at ) o'clock this after
neon that John Wolff. the young man
who murdered Sheriff Summers near En-
Mi. yesterday. had been captured in the
Upper Madison valley by one of the
pt sses which started in search Of him.
The capture was erected after an ex-
citing chase of many miles. The posse
comprised about 30 of the most promi-
nent residents of Madison county. They
were led to believe that Wolff would en-
deavor to effect his escape through the
Upper Madison valley and at an early
hour last evening they started in that
direction. The murderer was mounted
on a superb animal and had evidently
ridden furiOusly all night in order to put
as great a distance as possible between
himself and his pursuers.
Early this morning the posse secured
sufficient evidence to lead them to be-
lieve that they We're on the right trail.
Wolff stopped at a ranch house along
the road and secured something to eat.

For Years-No Clue to the

Peoria, H., Jan. 26.--The safe in the
office if the collector of internal revenue
in this city. which is the headquarters of
the Fifth Illinois district, was broken
into last night and a large quantity OF
war revenue stamps taken.
Entrance to the revenue Office, which
occupy an entire side OF lne second floor
of the government building, was effected
through an open transom. The robbers
bored through the vault door and into the
bar which turns the bolts into place.
Then by the use Of hammer and chise
they broke the bar, which is on the inside
of the door. Afterwards they took the
bricks out at the side of the safe and
easily pried open the vault door
The authorities claim that they have
NJ idea OF the value Of the stamps taken
and Will not until after the contents Of
the safe have been invoiced 1t is possi-
bic that he amount may reach one mill

Within the last half hour hundreds OF
them have congregated about town, and
it looks OminOus for the murderer. IT
is possible that they will ride out OF
town before Wolff arrives and take him
out of the hands of the posse. 1t Is not
likely that there would be much oppo-
sition to giving him up, in view OF the
prevailing sentiment.
The body of Sheriff Summers was
brought to Virginia City today, and this
served to intensity the excitement. An
examination of the body shows that 1t
was pierced through and through, side
ways, by the bullet, proving beyond the
shadow of doubt that the murder
was cold -blooded one.
At 4:3O o'clock this afternoon large
body of men started out to meet the
posse and murderer. What their object
was could not be learned, but many fea,
that the body of Wolff will be swinging
! from a rafter before the rise of tomor
