HARTMAN AND HILL CONFER.
Apparently Have Come TO Complete
Agreement About Terminals.

San Francisco, March 27.-A most
important conference between Harrl-
| man and Louis Hill took place this af-
ternoon at Burlngame, at the close
cf which it was announced that a
complete agreement had been reach
ed.
The railway magnates spent the en-
tire afternoon together, and tonight
both departed, Hartman went south,
While Hill will return north.
Hill said after the meeting that
they were working in complete har-
mony
He also said all MISUNDERSTANDING
concerning the Portland situation had
been settled satisfactorily. All diff
ficulties growing out of the con-
struction of the North Bank road had
been adjusted and an understanding
had been reached as to the building
of certain lines in connection with
the Portland terminal. Hill said:
"Al this talk of conflict between
the Hill and Hartman systems is rub
bish. For more than nine years the
two systems have been working inI
harmony, although business rivals
During the conferences just conclud-I
ed the get together spirit has prevail
ed and there have been no serious diff
ferences. Neither side has anything
to gain by destructive competition"
The impression prevails among menI
who have come IN touch with both
magnates that an alliance has beeuI
concluded which is only one step re
moved from a merger between theI
two systems.

Story of Uprising.

Chief Crazy Snake and 100 follow
ers retreated before five companies of
Oklahoma militia late last night, thus
deferring an expected battle until to-
today.
Hastily setting fire to his tepees and
tents. the Indian leader, with his mix
ed company of redskins and negroes
fled from his blazing camp as the
troops advanced. The renegades took
up a strong position between the
north Canadian river and Deep Fork
creek. about seventeen miles east of
Henryetta.
Colonel Hoffman, in command of
the state troops, considered it unwise
to push the pursuit and engage the
Indians in the darkness. Accordingly
he bivouaced his troops for the night.
Early in the morning, reinforced by
company of cowboys from aroun
Lawton Okla, all crack shots, ne will
lead his forces against the Indians.
Crazy Snake and his braves will be
offered a chance to surrender. If
they refuse the battle will be on.
That the old chief is striving tt
stir the Creeks to an uprising ant
strike for what he conceives to bt
liberty, was evident from the smok
of three signal fires on adjacent hill
Just below sundown.
Six Men Killed.
Six men have been killed and doz-
EN- wounded since the trouble began
This is the official report
ad it is generally believed that many
more of the negroes and Indians
were killed.
The troops left Henryetta at three |
o'clock. They had seven miles to |
go. Encumbered with arms and
equipment, it was not expected that !
they could reach the scene ready for |
battle before o'clock. Crazy Snakes
men numbered about 200, all armed |
with modern Miles and plentifully |
supplied with ammunition. They had |
been preparing for two months for
his their final stand against lawful
authority. They defiantly sent out
word today that they would fight to
he death.

That there is to be a free public

able. In conversation with Judge
Lowell this morning Major A. Il. Nc
Partridge. agent for the Umatilla res

Washington declared his belief that
the road would be opened soon.
According to the local indian agent
there is some red tape regulations to
be attended to and some arrange
ments TO be made with the county
court, but otherwise the road is prac-
tlcally' assured.
This announcement will be hailed
by the stockmen of the county with
unconccaled delight. 1t will make it
