lRIOTOUS NEGROES
Alleged 10 Have Confessed That
White Advised Them 10 Arm
Against the Whites After
Recent Race Trouble
at Centralia.

A sensational aftermath oil the
recent race trouble at Centralia
has developed through the confes-
sion of several negroes arrested In
that town for carrying concealed
weapons. alleging that Capt. Geo.
S. White had advised them to arm
against the whites as a pTecaution-
airy measure against further
trouble.
That some credence is placed in
the confession OF the blacks by the
reputable citizens of that town is
evidenced by the following resolu-
tions passed by The local lodge Of
the A. II. Il. A.
:Ceniralia, /. r., Nov. A, 1901.
Editor Chieftain:
Whereas, there was printed in
the Daily Chieftain OF Oct. /, 1901,
an article claiming 10 give an ac-
count OF a certain riot in the town
OF Centrslia. /. T.. and
Whereas said article was furnish
ed from the U. S. Marshal's Office
in the town OF Vinita, and
Whereas, said article is a vile
slander on the town of Centralia
and the good citizens thereof, and
Whereas, there was arrested in
the town OF Ceniralia, on or about
the 9th day OF October, one negro,
Whiimire, changed with carrying
concealed weapons, and said Whit
mire, upon being brought before
the Mayor of the town, claimed
that G.. S. White. of Vinita, |. 7.
bad told him 10 carry his weapon
and
Whereas, on the following day
Jack Sanders, another negro, was
in Cenirslia with a gun, and upon
being questioned, said that G. S.
White had told him TO arm him
self against the whites; and
Whereas, If G. S. white, OF. the
town of Vinita, /. T., did give
such unlawful and uncalled for ad
vice, which is against the peace
and dignity of the country and
contrary to the laws of the United
States, which he has sworn TO up
hold and enforce. Now, therefore,
be it
Resolved, by Centralia Lodge,
No. 294, A. II. I. A., in regular
meeting assembled, that we con
demn @. S. White as a man unfit
Tor the high position he holds and
traitor to the law and good gov.
eminent. And, be il further
Resolved, That we ssk the cup

an emphatic denial of the truth of
the confessions, and later incor
porated it in the following com
munication:
Vinita, /. t., Nov. 5, 1901.
To the Members of Centralia Sub
ordinate Lodge, A. III. t. A:
Greeting:-
Through the kindness of the rep
resentative of the Indian Chieftain,
| have been shown an article pur-
porting to be a resolution of said
lodge, in which they charge me
with having advised one negro,
Whitmire, and one negro, Jack
Sanders. to arm himself as protec-
tion against the white citizens of
Centralia. !.
positively deny ever having
made any such statement or CIV
ing any such advice 10 said negro's
or TO any other negro at any time
or place. Respectfully,
G.. S, WHITE,
Office Deputy Marshal.
What further action the men,
bers of the A. II. L. A. will take
is not known, but it is thought
probable that they will bring the
accusers and accused together ia
an effort to definitely determine
as to the officers responsibility for
the criminal conduct OF the ne
groes.

STRIKE IN THE MYSTERY TUNNEL.
The Old Property Very Likely TO Come to
the Front.

Henry Rafferty, and w. A Smith have
tunnel, about mile east of the city,
ment work. Several weeks ago they
commenced following a seam of ore
which wldened out as the work pro
gressed until now they have quite body
OF ore. The character of the ore diff
fers materially from any ever found in
this mine. 1t carries considerable lead
with good per cent of copper and sill
ver Messrs Rafferty, and Smith feel
greatly encouraged over their strike,
and Indications are favorable that the
seam followed will lead to large ore
body.
Ciaim hunters have been quite mum
erous in the vicinity of the Mystery tun-
mel since the strike has become known
and all vacant ground on that part of
the Hope hill has been staked.
The Mystery and adjoining claims
Mining and Milling Co., VINO allowed
account of non performance of annual
representation work. 1t is the property
on which the late G. N. Freeman had
pinned his faith. On January LIST, 1899.
John Easton and w. A. Smith located
the property, and Mr.. Smith, who has
had much experience in mining in lime
stone formations, went to work, the
first year, however, without success.
Mr.. Eas oE's interest was later acquired
by Henry Rafferty,. Work was again
resumed, and those who thought that it
was energy wasted have but few CON
ments to make at present There is no
further question but that Messrs. Smith
and Rafferty, have struck some good ore
and many now believe that they have a
great mine.
