RETREAT TO
MOUNTAINS
Oklahoma Militia Called Out
to Suppress the Uprising
of the Creeks.
CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE LEADS
Special bu United Press Wire.

Special 6u united Press WHe.
Oklahoma City, Okla, March %
1t is reported from Henrietta that
firing has been heard in the hills and
it is believed a fight is on between
Chief Crazy Snake and band oi
Indians and half breed negroes
against whom the troops were sent
Yesterday there was fighting seven
miles in the hills.
All telephone and telegraph wires
have been cut. The troops plan was
to give the Indians a chance to sur
render. Now it is supposed they
have refused and an engagement is
In progress.
With about 200 Indians and outlaw
negroes Crazy Snake had intrenched
himself IN the Hickory hills, southeast
of Henryetta, but on the approach Of
the soldiers the redskins hastily with
drew after setting fire to their tepees
and tents. Crazy Snake then took up
q strong position between the North
Canadian river and Deep Fork creek,
about seven miles east of Henryetta.
Colonel Hoffman decided it would be
unwise to push the pursuit and engage
the Indians in the darkness. Accord
ingly he bivouacked for the night.
Early this morning, REINFORCED by the
company of cowboys, all crack shots,
he once more advanced.
Crazy Snake and his braves will
have a chance to surrender. If they
refuse tho battle will be on unless the
redskins again retreat.
The militia officers believe Crazy
Snake wants to reach the Tiger noun
tains with his followers before engag-
ing in a general fight. That the old
chief is striving to stir the Creeks to
an uprising and strike for what he
conceives to be liberty was evident
from the smoke Of three signal fires
on adjacent hills just before sundown.
Old frontiersmen declare this is sign
which always ushers In Indian trouhle,
Major Charles F. Barrett, in charge
Of the commissary, received hurry or
ders by courier to send supplies and
additional ammunition to the troops
in the field. From this 1t Is inferred
the officers expect long chase before
fight.
DR.. !. NJ. Wallace of Dustin, Okla,
who went to the Hickory hills with the
troops, declared today that more than
twenty negroes and Indians were
killed and were rudely buried.
This first real Indian uprising of
years has held this region on edge for
three days. 1t had been plotted and
prepared for long time. 1t broke out
last Thursday, when several deputy
sherlffs 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'
ditional forces and were fired on by
the band, then augmented by num-
Der of Crazy Snakes Indians. In this
fight three negroes were killed and
FIVE wounded.

LEGISLATURE
WILL TACKLE
LOCAL OPTION
PIummer Bill Comes Up in
the Senate Tonight or To-
morrow Morning.
LITTLE LEGISLATION
BEEN ACCOMPLISHED
Martin Public Utility Bill Is
the Most Important to be
Considered in the House.

Trenton, March 2s:-Anothei
week Of the legislature opens tonigh
with practically nothing thus far &C
complished. The members hope tt
adjourn by April s, but to do thii
means big hustle and some hastl
legislation such as the machine
leaders delight in as 1t does not give
time to look over the bills carefully
The first thing Of importance the
senate will do this week Is to act OF
the Plummer local option bill. i
cannot be told whether this actor
will come tonight or tomorrow
morning, but 1t is more likely t.
come off Tuesday morning. There
are still said to be thirteen or four
teen votes against the bill.
The first matter of importa nc,
which the house will take up is tn.
settling of the question whether Of
not the Martin public utilities bill il
dead on the table, or that only the
motion to reconsider is there.
The legislature has already killed
the attempt to repeal the county
boards of taxation, and it is likely
that Governor Fort will now send IL
the names Of the members whose
terms expire this year.
The governor is playing much bet
ter politics than he did last year
when he named all of his appointeei
as soon as the legislature met. Thii
year he has held many of them. anC
there yet remain to be disposed O.
the following men, to either reap
point or to put others in their pres
ent places: Member of the statt
board Of assessors, David Baird
member of the state board of equali
zation OF taxes, e. Amber Arm
strong, resigned; commissioner o
banking and insurance, David o
Watkins; supervisor of the state pri
son, Samuel w. Kirkbride, membe
of the state board of health, William
w. Chew; prosecutor of Middlese,
county, George Berdine; state waite
commissioner, George w. Wright
state railroad commissioners, Gener
al Joseph w. Congdon (resigned) J
Borden d. Whiting and Frank s
Sommer; riparian commissioners
Robert Williams, Michael F. Nc
Laughlin and Henry T. Caullet
state prison inspectors, William H
Carter, James e. Mitchell, William
e. Berry, Bernard Feeney, Joseph j
Davenport and David SchurtZ; an,
one member of each one of tn
twenty-one county boards of taxa
tion.
1t is said that there is an amends
bill, not SO favorable to autoists
ready for introduction into the legiF
lature this week, as soon as those be
hind the bill learn what disposition
the house makes of the Bradley bill
which allows a maximum speed G
twenty-five miles an hour, recognize
the licenses of other states for tour
lists privileges, and provides tha
speed violations must be continue
one mile before summary arrest.
The action of the house last wee
in passing the measure compellin
all owners of vehicles to put light
on them at night when on the roat
has made the autoists feel NOR
hopeful Of the Bradley bill, but tn
house being ON record against rails
ing the speed limit, has somewha
discouraged them, and the mentio
of the new bill does not suit well.

MERCHANTS
ARE PLEASED
WITH LIGHTS
Four Temporary Arc Lamps
Were in Place Saturday
Night Were Satisfactory.
SEVERAL MAKES ARE
BEING TESTED acre
Public Service Building to
be Illuminated With Many
lncandescent Lights.

Smith street, between State and
High streets, was more brilliantly
Illuminated Saturday night than II
ever has been before and the mer-
chants who are contemplating max
ing Great White Way" out of the
block were shown what four flaming
arc lamps could do. The lights, which
were hung in front of Thomas West
& Companys store, G.. A. Sections
William H. McCormick's and Henry
McCullough's, gave a clear yellow
light and the first night of the test
was very satisfactory. Two of the
lamps were Polar lights and the
other two Stave lamps.
The extra illumination caused
many people to traverse the block
and 1t is believed that business waf
also a little better with the mer-
chants than usual.
AS was told in the NEWS last
week, the merchants of the block
formed The Merchants Progressive
Association, and elected officers. II
Is their intention to make a white
way out of the block by installing
twenty flaming arc lamps, uniform
distance apart on the street. The
four lights used Saturday night were
put up Saturday for a test and the
kind that proves the most satisfac-
tory will probably be the kind that
the merchants will buy II they decide
to carry out their project, which is
now almost certaintv.
Another meeting of the association
is likely to be held this week to take
further action and make additions tc
the present plans.
Division Superintendent Chandler
of the Public Servide, said Saturday
to NEWS reporter that the mer'
chants on State street, between Smith
and Fayette streets, are considering
another white way idea and that they
may take action this week. The
building of the Public Cervice Cor
poration on Smith street, near Ho'
bart street, Mr.. Chandler says. is tc
| be Illuminated with hundreds o.
eight candle power incandescen
lights within the next week or so
The entire front of the building viii
be covered with the little bulbs, ant
up the flag pole there will also be
string of the lamps. This extra IL
Elimination, in addition to the bi,
Public Service sign, will light up thu
street considerably, besides making
very attractive display. The work OF
the building has already been start
