INDIAN BRAVES
HIT THE TRAIL
Crazy Snakes Band ScatterS Into
the HaIIS-Fight with the
Deputies.

Oklahoma City, Okla. March 3o.--A
detachment of Crazy Snakes band Of
belligerent Indians was surrounded
by deputy sheriffs near Crazy Snakes
home, and a lively battle ensued.
More than 200 shots were fred and
one Indian was killed. Eight Indians
were captured and the remainder fed,
with the deputies in pursuit
There were about Is Indians in the
band that had taken refuge in a
house. The deputies had tracked
them for some distance and were in
formed by a farmer of their location.
Advancing from all four sides. the
posse fired a volley at the frail house.
The Indians rushed out, scattering
among the trees, and made a valiant
defense. The posse, firing all the
while, steadily advanced and soon
routed the band. None of those cap
tured is seriously injured, but it is
known that a number of Indians were
hit by the posses shots.
Crazy Snakes band apparently has
broken up into numerous small
groups. 1t seemed that each was try
ing to accomplish his own escape
without regard for the grand dreams
of the chieftain, to realize which they
were called together by the smoke OF
signal fires. All efforts at organized
resistance seemed to have been
dropped.
The militiamen seemed well able to
cope with this latest phase OF the
tered out into bands. They invaded
the billy and wooded districts Of the
Creek nation in a determined effort
to hunt down both leaders and mem
bers of the war party. The wisdom
of this policy at once became evident.
for they soon had captured the fol-
lowing prominent members of Crazy
Snakes forces: Little Tiger, a sub
chief; Esley Larney, Jimmie Roe. w.
e. Taylor, Tom Jeffreys, John Lewis.
Abe Burgess and Simla Harjo. who is
not related to Chitti Harjo. Most OF
these were heavily armed.
The captives were started for the
camp at Hickory Grounds under
heavy guard. Orders were issued that
the search be kept up, and numerous
parties went out to round up the rem
egades. AS fast as they are captured
they will be hurried to Hickory
Grounds, which will be established
soon as a reconcentrado camp. BY
this means the military authorities
expect to avoid a pitched battle. but
regard it as certain that numerous
small engagements will be fought.
The Indian killed by the posse was
the only fatality reported to Colonel
Hoffman. There are numerous rumOrs
of engagements here and there, with
varying numbers of fatalities. One
story told that a posse of farmers
near Checotah fought with a large
band ofnegro renegades and killed 20.
This, with similar reports. can not be
confirmed. very disquieting condi-
ton exists throughout the troubled
district, however, and almost any
thing in the way of fight would not
be surprising.

PLANT BEDS INDICATE
A LARGE TOBACCO CROP
Agricultural Commissioner Counts
3I2 From Winchester to
MaySviIIe.

FRANKFORT, KY, March 30
can get some idea of the tobacco
crop which is going to be raised in
the hurley district this year by the
sample that | saw on a trip | made
from Maysville to Winchester on Sat
urday," said Commissioner of Agri-
culture, Nj. C. Rankin today.
81 counted exactly 312 plant beds
in sight of the railroad, as the train
moved along, and | won't be certain
but that | might have missed few;
however, 312 for that distance, and
they only the ones in sight of the
railroad are enough to convince me
that the crop this year is going to be
the biggest we have ever known, and
that it will be hard work to keep up
The price to the figures which we have
received for the last two crops"
Commissioner Rankin believes that
the only way this can be done is for
the society to secure over 30 per cent
in the pool, makes its deal with the
American Tobacco Company and then
let those on the outside take what
they can get for their product. He
believes that this offers a feasible
plan, and one of the very few that
can be successfully carried out to
maintain high prices.
The Commissioner of Agriculture
today received from Ed. Valentine, Of
Ready, Grayson county, sample Of
Angora goat wool, which he clipped
from his herds Mr.. Valentine says
that if there is market for the wool
in Kentucky he believes that the far
mers will find it greatly to their in
terest to raise the Angora breed, for
they clean up a farm better than any
thing he has ever found. The sam
pie of wool which he sent in is long,
fine and of a silky texture, and con-
tains slight kink or curl.
Mr.. Valentine also asks the Com
missioner about a certain kind of
grass which Grew up i'll his new to-
bacco field, which remained green long
after everything else had dried up
during the drought of last fall, and
which he believes will make a good
feed.

Millions For Publicity.

"The business this advertising pro-
duces undoubtedly is many times the
amount expended. The advertising in
ten representative magazines last
year amounted to almost $8,000,000.
1t is probable that if statistics were
available covering the advertising ex-
penditure in our $4,000 newspapers
and periodicals, in the street cars, on
the billboards, by letters, circulars,
booklets, calendars and in many other
ways, the figures would exceed those
of almost any other business or in
dustry.
''The two most important factors
of resultful advertising are right me-
diums and right copy. The daily
newspaper is the most valuable add
vertising medium for any bank seek
inc local business. There Is no better
way to reach large number of per-
sons cheaply and effectively.
"The newspaper is "A part of the
daily life of the American people. 1t
goes everywhere. Everybody reads
it. Every day it comes entirely fresh
and new. If he Is wise, the advertis-
er in it makes his message fresh and
new daily too.
"The daily newspaper can best give
the constant repetition that wears
away fOrgetfulness and forces atten-
ton. 1t enables the adversary to tell
his story quickly.
