Formal Arraiqnment at Sharon.
EVANGELIST LUTHER
Preached Two of His Strongest Ser
mons at First Baptist Church.

Good audiences, Notwithstanding the
weather, greeted Evangelist Luther at
the First Baptist church Sunday and
were repaid by two of the speakers
strongest presentments OF truth thus
far in the three weeks and over Of spe-
cial services. The morning theme,
'Kindling Fires" based upon Elk. 22:6,
was logical exposition of the power
and reach Of human influence and the
responsibility before God of each soul
therefor, the sublime solemnity Of life
as a moral being, the fearfulness of
standing at the Judgment throne, to
thus give answer for the full outcome
Of the life on earth, and the necessity
Of a refuge in Jesus Christ to do SO
successfully, were conclusions that the
law of influence made inevitable.
The evening sermon on IA Question
of Affinity" had it's scripture fOunda-
ton in the statements recorded in
Acts 1;25 and ABB, which voiced from
two opposite points Of view great
and eternal law Of human choice and
destiny, and which might be called the
law of spiritual affinity, attract ction and
gravitation. As in the natural world
each particle of matter, where free to
act. at once and unerringly seeks it's
strongest affinity; or, as all things mo-
bile when free, sink or rise to their
own level; so also In the spiritual
realm, every one, when free from all
restraint, gravitates to his own spir-
itual plane. Three practical applica-
tions follow: First, each one himself
determines his final and in large meas
ure his present environment. Second,
in this life N a restraining influence.
sometimes good, sometimes bad, him
dering our going in the direction nf our
desire, must be reckoned with. Third,
a day is coming when all restraint will
be removed and our real selves will not
only be disclosed, but be given eternal
and transcendfng' freedom of action,
and when, being "let CO." each will go
to his own place and company; the
unrepentaut sinner to the place and
company of his own choosing. while
the Peters and Johns of earthlv faith
and piety, by the same law of eternal
affinity, attraction and gravitStiou, win
as certainly rise to the company Of the
redeemed and the glory of Him whom
they loved and served while here in the
life below.
Three persons, including a husband
and wife, were baptized at the close
by Pastor Thayer in his usual impress
sive manner. Mr.. Luther will close his
present work here on Thursday even
ing. The meeting this evening will
take the form of Sunday school rally.

Oklahoma City. Okla, March 2s.-
Five companies OF Oklahoma militia
marched tonight against Crazy Snake 8
band of Creek Indians, half breeds
and negroes, entrenched In the HEX
ory Hills, seven miles from Henryetta.
A battle is regarded as inevitable, as
the heavily armed troops set out eth
er TO capture or exterminate the mur-
derous band which since Thursday has
caused the death of six men, the
wounding of many others and brought
about a condition of terror in Henry
eta. Pierce and all the surrounding
country.
Seven Mile March for Troops.

o'clock. They had seven miles to go.
Encountered with arms and equipment
II was expected that they would not
reach the Indians much before seven
o'clock.

two hundred, all armed with modern
rifles and plentifully supplied with
ammunition. They had prepared for
two months for this. their final stand
against lawful authority. They def
antly sent out word tonight that thev
would fight to the death. The mill
tias officers declared they would
shoot to kill from the first. Crazy
Snakes band strongly entrenched it
self early in the day and was REIN
forced from time to time by rowing
com panies which were scared away
from Henryetta by the approach Of
the troops. Crazy Snake is in per-
sonal command. This was established
by the testimony choked out Of his
college bred son by means of a nice
new inch rope. He said that his IA
ther was in command; named the In
dian who killed the deputies; told the
officers how to trail the band and did
everything which a stoical red man
IS supposed not to do when in the
hands Of his enemies.

Months.

years has held this region on edge for
three days. It had been plotted and
prepared for two months. 1t broke
out last Thursday when several deputy
sheriffs went to Henryetta TO arrest
negro cattle thieves. They were fired
on by negro and half-breed friends OF
the criminals and forced to retreat. A
few hours later they returned with ad
ditionaI forces and were fired on by
the band, then augmented by q num-
Der OF Crazy Snakes Indians In this
fight three negroes were killed and five
wounded according to the Official re-
ports, though 1t Is thought manv more
Indians were wounded. as scores Of
shots were fired at close quarters. This
clash resulted in 81 arrests. Mean
time Crazy Snakes followers deter
mined ON an aggressive campaign. The
chiefs plans had 10 be prematurely
sprung on account of the unexpected
