Oklahoma City, March 30.--A de-
tachment of Crazy Snakek's band Of
bclligerent Indians was surrounded
by deputy sheriffs yesterday afternoon
near Crazy Snakes home and lively
battle ensued. More than 200 shots
were fired and one Indian was killed.
Eight Indians were captured and the
remainder fled with the deputies in
pursuit
There were about Is Indians in the
| band and they had taken refuge in a
= house. Advancing from all sides the
posse fred a volley The Indians
rushed out, scattered among the trees
and made valiant defense. The
posse, firing steadily, advanced and
routed the band None of those cap

II seemed at hightfall that each Indi-

escape without regard for the grand

efforts at organized resistance seem
led to have been dropped.
The militiamen seemed well able TO

What to Eat in sprinq.

DR.. Woods Hutchinson in the April
Womans Home Companion tells OF
great many things about food, what
to eat and when to eat it, that most
of us never new before and he tells it
in a most interesting way
'Tis in the spring the young mans
fancy lightly turns not merely to
thoughts of love, hut heavily away
from the dull monotony of corned beef
cabbage and potatoes Our clogged
palates begin to yearn for the clean,
sharp acidity of pie plant the crisp,
bitter freshness of spring green's
But, alas, with the longing Nature
does not always provide the means Of
It's qualification. TO the careful
housekeeper in her marketing, spring,
not winter is the peculiar season Of
her discomfort The flowers that
bloom, etc are lovely to the eye and
cheering to the spirit, but they furnish
exceedingly few ineridiments' for en-
trees, desserts, or even salads They
re very poetic, but YOU can't eat EN-,
They stir up longings for sourness and
freshness and things that 'cranch be-
tween the teeth in April, but the sub
stance of these things hope for the
| garden sass and berries don't come
in satisfactory amounts until June,
And then Dr. Hutchinson goes on
and gives a complete springtime menu
for every meal for IN entire week. II
is not an elaborate menu, but il is a
most appetizing one.

HERMoN S. PINKHAM
Greeted by Large Audience in Baptist
Church Monday Evening.

One year ago last night Rev. Her
mon S. Pinkham preached his first
sermon in Bennington to an audience
Of 80 people. Before the week was
over Mr.. Pinkham had demonstrated
that he had message and knew how
to clothe it with beauty and make 1t
live. Bennington people are loyal to
the man they believe in and admire
and therefore last night they gave
Mr. Pinkham for the first sermon of
his second mission a splendid Monday
night audience of 225 people.
The sermon last night was a beau
liful and tender appeal for THE
Proofs of Love" from the text: IF
ye love me, We will keep my COM
mandments" Few present will for
get that gala day in old Rome when
the blood thirsty populace thronged
the amphitheatre and the little band
Of Christians met the wild beasts be-
cause they loved the Christ. Many
have today been hearing again If We
love him We will confess him." IF we
love him we will live him" and IF we
love him ye will preach him"
Mr. Pinkham has chosen "Consci-
ence' for his subject tonight. His H.
Elimination of this voice within" will
be especially interesting to men. Re
member the hour is 1880 and the place
the Baptist church and that you are
invited to near this discourse. Bring
a friend with you.

to the support of the league.
The Plattsburg Traction company
said by letter that they would willing
ly do all in their power as far as the
finances Of the league were concerned
to aid the cause but that they did not
care to be identified with the manage
ment of the team. The Burlington
Traction company wrote that they did
not want TO take hold of the manage

give freely to the support of the team.
This letter stated that a member of
! Burlington enthusiasts met Monday

FARNA2O IS FOUND
GUILTY Of FIRST
DEGREE MURDER
italian Who Worked Here On
Electric Railway.
KILLED NECaESS IN TROY.
Had Chance to Save His Life by
Pleading Guilty to Second De-
gree Crime.

Troy March 30,-Antonio Farnaro,
Italian, was last night convicted of
numbering Agnes Johnson, colored,
last April in a yard leading from I'm
ion street between Broadway and
State street. After having been out
from a little before / O'Clock in the
afternoon until 9.45 O'Clock last night,
nearly nine hours, the jury brought in
to Supreme court the verdict of guilty
in the first degree, as charged.
Farnaro, who closely scrutinized
the faces of the jurors as they took
their seats heard the verdict which
condemns him to death. He did not
show any emotion, or any more feel
ing than ne exhibited during the tri-
al He was apparently as unmoved
as at any time during the trial. He
said not a word, and very deliberate
ly put on a pair of gloves before Jail
or Stone adjusted the handouts to
his wrists and escorted him back to
Jail
Farnaro had the chance offered to
him more than once before the trial
began, and again while it was in pro
gress, to save his life by pleading to
murder in the second degree but he
would not accept it. He rejected the
advice and endeavors of mis- counsel
to bring the case to such an end. In
the face of the overwhelming testi-
mony against him at the close of the
prosecution, he was as firm in his
refusal TO plead to murder in the sec
ond degree as he was before the trial
began. and passionately, rejected ad
vice of his counsel, who realized that
he had no defense worth going before
a jury with.
Farnaro worked for several months
in Bennington and Pownal during the
time that the Bennington and North
Adams electric railroad was being
built. He will be sentenced today

AN ECCENTRIC MlsER
Lived Like Pauper in House Full Of
Necessaries


The settlement last week of the af-
fairs of the late Frank Bosworth of
Royalton, an eccentric old resident of
the village. who lived alone, reveals
the fact that the old man preferred
to lead a paupers life when his house
was filled with groceries and wearing
apparel given by neighbors.
When the little house was put I'M
der the auctioneer's hammer it gave
up such a collection of articles that
people wondered how the howell held
them all Many old relics were sold,
such as ancient china, pewter platters
pewter spoons. brass spoons, copper
bOttomed kettles, solid silver spoons
of ancient pattern, hand-spun blank
cts and spreads, handmade axe han
dies and other old fashioned tools, the
history of which is not known.
Beside these things there was an
accumulation of years of gifts of
clothing and provisions, given by kind
ly disposed neighbors, touched by the
outward appearance of suffering OF
the man whose early history is not
known in the village. There were
dozens of pairs of stockings suits OF
new underclothing, coats, some OF
broadcloth, vests, trousers and over
coats, and yet Mr.. Bosworth preferred
to go barefooted and in rags which
hardly covered his body.
His stock of provisions included
beans, parched corn, sugar, and other
things enough to stock grocery store
and there were cooking utensils which
showed that they had never felt the
heat of a fire. The man always hat
the appearance of living in squalol
and yet all the things which aroused
so much curiosity were neatly stored
