Oklahoma City.-The state militia
are invading the hilly and wooded

til yesterday, offered an organized re-
sistance to state authority and i'm
pressed their resistance by killing
two officers who sought Thursday
evening to serve a warrant on Chitti
Harjo, their counsellor and leader,
charging him with conspiracy against
the government.
Only one engagement has taken
place during the day. This was at 1
o. m, near the home of Harjo, and
was participated in by posse in
charge of Deputy Sheriff Frank Jones.
One Indian is believed to have been
killed and his body cremated in his
house that Indians fired during the
fight. Frank Jones late last night re-
ported to Checotah that he believed
his posse has surrounded the band led
by Harjo and this led to a report that
the leader was killed in today's fight.
This report is unconfirmed, however.
but Harjo has not been found during
the day.
Ten Are Captured.
Ten Indians were taken by the mill
tia early today, among them Little
Tiger, a sub-chief; Estey Larney, jim
ME Roe, W. E. Taykor, Tom Jeffries,
John Lewis, Abe Burgess and Sim1a
Harjo, who is not related to Chitti
Harjo. Most of them were heavily
armed.
A dispatch from Checotah last night
says that the house burned near Hick-
DRY Ground yesterday was that of
Chitti Hargo, and that it was burned
by Indians to detract the attention of
the officers from the fight that was
in progress near there. These facts
were related by Deputy Sheriff Frank
Jones and Frank Smith of Chekota,
who came home last night to get more
ammunition. No Indians were shot in
the fight and none were burned in the
house.

plans for the morning attack. The
Checotah posse concluded late last
night to rest until early this morning
and start the march to Pierce early.

and had found that she was dying,
he turned to find his son Howard,

rified eyes, he had cried out:
Don't say anything. You are my

In Judge Brentano's court, where
Holmes is on trial for his life, his
son took the stand. The boy looked
at his father and the father stared
at the boy. Then the lad said:
Judge, I'll tell you all about it."
He told the story amid sobs and
tears and pitiful looks at his father,
but he told it's with directness and
his tears only added the weight of
sincerity to his story.
Holmes heard the boys story

greatly benefited and actually
cured by having the body lie in

The human body Is great living

needle Is magnetized the same as
the earth, and the magnetic waves
in passing from the north pole OF
the world to the south pole sweep
the magnetic needle into the line of
least resistance, lengthwise. so the
magnetic forces of the needle and
the earth may be In harmony. Now
since the human body is a mag

when this body is laid In a length
