JAIL ATT PARIS
HOLDS FOLSOM
Marshal Wilcox Places Choctaw In
dian Safe Behind Bars.

Deputy u. S. Marshal Wilcox
! of Durant has returned home from
long journey, from his second
trip to Salt Lake City, Utah, and
Paris, Texas. and at the latter
place he jailed Robert l.. Folsom,
la Cboctaw Indian, who is wanted
in the Federal court at Paris
on an Indictment charging him
with the killing of Alfred Strick-
land, another Choctaw, near
Bennington, on Jan. 10, 1908.
Folsom was arrested at the time
of the killing and on preliminary
examination his bond was placed
at $4,000. He was indicted at
the March term of court at Du-
rant following the homicide, and
both he and his alleged victim be-
ing Indians, he claimed a change
of venue to the Paris Federal
court under provision of the
statute, which was granted.
After the case was transferred to
Paris the defendant was granted
bail in the sum of $1,000, which
he gave.
After being released he left the
country and his bond was de-
clared forfeited at the April term.
From his home near Bennington
Folsom went to Mexico and lived
on the coast awhile. He then
travelled through New Mexico,
Arizona, Colorado, Nevada, Utah
and Montana, working in rail-
road and mining camps. He
spoke English fluently, but cul-
tivated full beard and for many
months worked in railroad camps
with Greeks and other foreigners,
and was taken for one of them.
The bpndsmen of the fugitive
employed Deputy Marshal Viii
cox to apprehend him, and Of
fered reward of $1,000. The
Deputy Marshal first heard of
him in New Mexico and went out
there in search of him. He
trailed him to Flagstaff, Ariz.,
where all trace was completely
lost. The cause of it was that
Folsom with two other men had
gone out in the mountains ninety
miles, away to sink a shaft in a
prospect hole and remained there
two months. Mr.. Wilcox re-
turned home and last October
heard that Folsom was at Salt
Lake City. He made a trip to
Utah, without finding him, but
left description and photograph
with G. Frank Emery, the sheriff
OF Salt Lake county, and enlisted
his services to assist in locating
him. Deputy Wilcox returned
home and in November received
a telegram from the Salt Lake
sheriff stating that Folsom had
been captured. Mr. Wilcox mad
a second trip out there and found
that he was the wrong man.
About two weeks ago he received
another message from Salt Lake
that Folsom had been captured,
and made a third trip, leaving
Durant on the 17th inst. This
time the right man proved to be
under arrest,
When Marshal Wilcox reached
home yesterday he had travelled
1926 miles and had paid 81, 1928
in expenses.

ST. Louis, Nov. 9.-The New York
Life Insurance company, through it's
attorneys, F. N. Judson and former
Attorney General Grow, late this af-
ternoon applied to United States Cir
cult Judge Adams for an injunction
to restrain the state superintendent
Of insurance, w. ID. Vandiver, from
enforcing his order prohibiting the
company from carrying on further
business in Missouri.
Judge Adams issued restraining
order directing VIM. D. Vandiver,
state superintendent of insurance, to
appear before the federal court in
Jefferson City, November 20, to show
cause why he should not be prevented
from enforcing his order excluding the
company from doing further business
in Missouri, and ordering that pending
the hearing the superintendent's or
der be not enforced.

and from garrisons near Peterhof, and
that machine guns had to be employed.
Before the arrival of the troops, the
sailors, many of whom were drunk on
liquor plundered from spirit shops, had
set fire to the market and several
groups of houses. About 200 sailors
were still holding out at midnight and
although these are expected to sur
render today, the authorities became
so alarmed that the Paul regiment of
the guard was dispatched to Cronstadt
at l O'Clock this morning. The govern
or of Cronstadt telegraphed the gen
eral staff at midnight that the mutiny
had been crushed; that there was no
likelihood of renewal of riot today;
that reports to the effect that members
of the guard had joined the mutineers
were false and that there was no truth
in the reports that the mutineers had
siezed the arsenal and forts. The gov
ernor in his telegram said that many
mutinous sailors tried to escape in
boats to the mainland but were cap
tured and were being brought back to
Cronstadt.
He gave no estimate OF the
casualties.

st. Petersburg, Nov. 10.-This city
was in a furore of excitement all of
yesterday and late into the night over
news of the mutiny at Cronstadt.
Everyone of the exaggerated reports of
the affair received credence in many
quarters and half the inhabitants of
the capital believed that the mutiny
was successful; that troops sent from
here had joined in the revolt; that the
entire garrison of st. Petersburg would
follow suit today and that the town of
Constadt had been burned to the
ground, together with the surround
ing forts.
The place was represented as being
in the hands of 5000 sailors who had
murdered their officers, seized the
arsenal and bombarded the imperial
palace at Peterhof, across the bay.
Butchery was said to have prevailed in
the streets all during the day and the
rumors even went to the extent of say
ing that Father John" of CronstadI
had left the bed on which he was sup
posed to be dying to lead the mutin-
GERS.
Many of these sensational reports
were, of course, entirely false, but suf'
flcient details have been received to
prove that about 5000 sailors and a
battalion of artillerists from one of the

number of mutineers to 5000. 1t is
difficult to ascertain the number of

are in the hospital.
State Their Grievances.
The sailors say their chief griev-
ances are poor food and clothing and
an insufficient amount of liberty from
barracks. Roughs joined in the pill
lage, but the workmen did not par
ticipate in 1t.
Many Of the workmen and the civil
ian population have either fed or are
trying to flee the city and the docks
are piled high with baggage and
household effects. At this hour the
city is full of reinforcements from st.
Petersburg and others still are arriv

there was no renewal of the trouble
during the evening.
Fires are still glowing in the mar

Stores and houses are boarded up and
troops are patrolling the streets.
Searchlights from warships and tor
pedo boats in the harbor are flashing
across the water in order to aid the
launches in their search for individual
mutineers, who are trying to escape
to the mainland by boat. Though
many of the mutineers have surrender
ed, several hundred are still holding
out in the eastern section of the
town. They have thrown up barri-
cades, but are surrounded and ma

Cronstadt, Nov. 9.-The heavens re-
fected the glare of smouldering fires
as the Associated Press correspondent
approached Cronstadt at o'clock this
evening. Upon landing, however,
hurried inquiry revealed the fact that
the troops and the loyal sailors ap-
parently had the upper hand. Fight
ing had ceased in the streets and the
town was quiet, but fears were ex-
pressed that there might be further
trouble later. Tonight patrols are
engaged in hunting down and captur-
ing mutineers.
The outbreak started yesterday af-
ternoon, when sailors of the Seventy
fourth Equipage" revolted and, 1t is
rumored, killed some of their officers
They marched out of the barracks
and Immediately plundered four spirit
shops. Crazed with liquor, they re-
turned and seized their arms, and
then went on the rampage, firing pro-
miscously upon troops and loyal sail
ors. Later they were joined by many
of their comrades and fighting con-
tinued from midnight until this
morning, when the terror stricken in
habitants began to flee.

Der of dead at so. Several regiments,
with eight machine guns. from st.
