that Mr.. Dorsey's wounds were self

way. When found Il was about s
O'Clock and he was in a pool Of blood.

throat would not necessarily be fatal.

CRAZY SNAKE WILL
FIGHT TO The LAST
Old Chief, With Twenty Of His Band Slain, E6nsb
For General Uprising OF Band.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, March 20.
Five companies of Oklahoma milf
tia marched last night against Crazy
Snakes band OF Creek Indians, half
breeds and negroes, entrenched In the
Hickory Hills, seven miles from Hen
ryetta.
A battle Is regarded as inevitable,
as the heavily armed troops set out
either 90 capture or exterminate the
murderous band. which since Thurs
day has caused the death Of six men,
the wounding OF many others, and
brought a condition Of terror.
leaving Henryetta at o'clock with
seven miles to so and encountered
with arms and equipment II was ex-
pected the troops could not reach the
Indians before Z O'Clock.
Crazy Snakes men number about
200. all armed with modern rifles and
plentifully supplied with ammunition.
They had prepared for two months
for this final stand against lawful au-
thority. They sent out word yesteT-
day that they would fight to the death.
Crazy Snakes band strongly In.
trenched itself early In the day and
was reinforced from time to time.
Crazy Snake is In personal com
rhald. This was established by testi-
mony ChOked out OF his college-bred
son by means OF a nice. new inch rope.
Young Harjo, strung up by the de-
termined deputies until nearly dead.
gasped out that his father was in com
mand. named the Indians who killed
the deputies. told the officers how to
trail the band and did everything
which a stoical red man is supposed
not 10 do.
When the Fighting Began.
This first real Indian uprising Of
years has held this region on edge
for three days. IL broke out last
Thursday when several deputy sheriHs
went to Henryetta to arrest negro cat
tie thieves. They were fired upon by
negro half-breed friends and forced TO
retreat. Returning with additional
forces, they were fired on by the band,
then augmented by some OF Crazy
Snakes Indians. Three negroes
were killed and five wounded. accord
ing 90 the Official reports, although Il
Is thought that many more Indians
we're wounded. This clash resulted In
forty-one arrests.
Marshal Edward Baum and Deputy
Sheriff Herman Odom were the depu-
ties killed.

must 90 down to the City Hall and
pay for the privilege. He cannot
plant tree without taking out per.

suit is that people who spent years

insures the death OF thousands Of
them because people will refuse far.
