"CRAZY SNAKE" SUBMITS
Leader Of Snake Indians Appears for
First Time Before Commission

MUSKOGEE: Chito Harjo, Cray
Snake" the fullblood leader of the
Snake Indians who refused to take an
allotment from the government, and
persuaded a large number ar this
tribe to follow his example, was in
Okmulgee all last week attending the
meetings of the Creek council and
taking notes on the proceedings. A
force of employees of the Dawes COM
mission who are taking testimony in
allotment cases succeeded, through
Alex Posey in getting Crazy Snake"
before them. He took the oath ad-
ministered by the commissioner to
witnesses, and tod what he knew
about several cases. This is the first
time the Dawes commission has ever
succeeded in persuading the indomit-
able full blood leader to appear be-
fore it.
Crazy Snake" says that he has
been grossly misrepresented and mis-
judged by the white people. He de-
clares that when he was opposing
the allotment system he was fighting
for a principle which, in his opinion,
involved the very life and happiness
OF his people. He opposed the allot-
mnSt system because it meant the
death knell of his people as an inde-
pndnt nation, and also the destruc-
ton Of the institutions and govern
ment his people hold so sacred. II
never encouraged violence among my
followers" he said, through an inter
prefer. but always showed the folly
of such course. Any demonstration
of violence against the government
that occurred was without my ap-
Droval."
Crazy Snake" although he Is
fullblood and cannot speak or under
stand English, keeps well informed
upon the events of the day. and es-
pecially the Russo-Japanese war. He
sympathiZes with the Japs and refers
to the Russians as the white people,
and claims that the Japanese are but
descendants Of Greek Indians. 81
hope the little Japs will whip the
white-faced Russians" he said, "and
thev will do it. too
The Snake leader is q handsome
fellow and a natural born leader. He
possesses more than usual intelli-
gence and has none of the traits of
savage. He is very gentlemaniy and
considCrate in all his dealings with
others.

RAILROAD MAN KILLED
Two Officials Of Rock Island Meet
Death on Motor Car

CHICKASHA: AS result of a hor-
rible accident which occurred about
two miles west of here one the Man
gum line OF the Rock Island, George
A. Richards and j. +. Johnson are
dead. The former was division engi-
neer and the latter roadmaster. Re-
liable information concerning the af-
fair is lacking. The two men left
Anadarko on gasoline motor car the
most probable theory being that they
were run down by the local freight
train. Another theory is that the mo-
tor car had already been wrecked and
the men killed or disabled before the
freight train struck them. The re-
mains, which were terribly mangled,
were picked up by the loca! and
brought to this city.
Mr.. Richards came here about four
months ago from Trenton, Mo. His
remains will be taken to Milwaukee,
Mr.. Johnson has been roadmaster here
for five years. Both men were mar
ried.

GUTHRIE: Oklahoma, according
TO population, has a larger proportion
of rural mail delivery routes in oper-
alton than any western state. The
state of Texas, with it's millions of
population, has about 500 routes: Ne
braska. Kansas and Iowa have in the
neighborhood Of 1000 each, and Mis-
souri, has about 500 in operation. In
this territory there are 400 routes in
operation, and by January 1, $500 fam
lilies will be served by rural routes in
Oklahoma This means that 100000
persons will receive their mails daily
i, being delivered by rural carriers en-
ployed by the government for that
purpose. Over 100000 is disbursed
annually to rural carriers in this ter
ritory, and to this is another Of the
benefits derived from the rural deiv
cry system.
Four rural agents have been detailed
to Oklahoma. The work is nearly up
TO date, and applications for new
routes are being investigated within
sixty days after their acceptance in
Washington. One of the hindrances
to the extension of the service in this
territory is the condition of the coun-
try route. The farmers fail to real
ize how necessary it is to have the
highways passabe every month in the
year. but, although this condition pre-
vents the extension of the service. the
department hears less objections from
Oklahoma than other western states
because Oklahoma applicants for car
rier offer to make the trips daily. even
when the roads are not in the best
condition.
