Went QUIETLY TO DEATH
Mrs. Farmer, the Principal in Tho
Brennan Mur:'er, Suffers the Death
Penalty For Her Deed.


Auburn, N. Y, Special.-Murmun
ing a prayer for her soul, Mrs. Mary
Farmer was quietly led to the electric
chair in Auburn prison shortly after
6 o'clock Monday morning and exc
cuted for the murder Of Mrs. Sarah |
Brennan at Brownville last April.
The execution Of Mrs. Farmer-the /
second infection of the death penalty
on a woman by electricity in this
State-was affected without sensa,
tional incidents. Father Hickey,
spiritual adviser Of the condemned
woman following the execution gave
out a statement signed by Mrs. Farm
er; in which she declared that her
husband, James Farmer, was entirely
innocent. and knew nothing of the
crime until after it had been commit
ted.
The first contact lasted a full min
ute, the voltage starting at 1,S4O and
being gradually Lowered to 200, then
raised again to the full limit of l.
$40 volts. The current was applied
at Cos O'Clock. The current was
shut off and a strange sound-half
| moan and half murmur, came from
the woman's lips. DR.. Germ and DR..
Spitza applied the stethoscope to the
heart while Electrician Davis felt the
artery in the neck. Muscular action
was noted by the physicians, and
again the current passed through the
woman's body for a period Of a few
seconds. Once more the physicians
stepped forward and applied the tests
to determine if life still remained IN
the limp figure in the chair. For the
third time the State electrician sent
the curreht through the body. The
first contact was said to have produe'
ed death but there we're still muscular
movements.
The physicians report that the
autopsy disclosed that Mrs. Farmer
was normal in every respect and that
the brain showed no LESSONS that
would indicate a criminal tendency.

ON THE WARPATH
Creek INDIANS in Oklahoma in
Arms Against Government.
CRAZY SNAKE Is THEIR LEADER
Two Hundred Red Men, Armed to
the Teeth, Rise Against Lawful
Authority and Announce That
They Will Fight to the Death.

Oklahoma City, Okla, Special
Five companies of Oklahoma militia
marched Sunday against Crazy
Snake s band Of Greek Indians, half
breeds and negroes, entrenched in
the Hickory Hills, 7 miles from
Herietta.
A battle is regarded as inevitable,
as the heavily-amed troops set out
either to capture or exterminate the
murderous band, which since Thurs
day has caused the death Of six men,
the w%opnding Of many others, and
brought about a condition Of terror.
Leaving Henrietta at 3 o'clock with
seven miles to go, and encountered
with arms and equipment, it 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
authority. They sent out word that
they would fight to the death.
Crazy Snakes band strongly en-
trenched itself early in the day and
was reinforced from time to time.
Crazy Snake Commands.
Crazy Snake is in personal COM
mand. This was established by testi-
mony checked out Of his college-bred
son by e of a nice new inch rope.

termined deputies until nearly dead.
gasped out that his father was in
command; named the Indian who
killed the deputies, told the officers
how to trail the band and did every
thing which a s~torical Red Man is
supposed not to do.
This first real Indian uprising OF
years has held this region OF edge for
three days. It broke out last Thurs
day when several deputy sheriffs
went to Herietta to arrest negro cat
tie thieves. They were fred on by
negro half-breed friends and forced
to retreat. Returning with add
tional forces they were fired On by
. the band. then augmented by some
r Of Crazy Snakes Indians. Three

militia arrived Sunday afternoon all
danger fr that particular town was
over. The Creeks rapidly retreated,
falling back toward Pierce, where
their forces were gathered in larger
numbers. The troops hurried on, af-
ter sending detachments in pursuit of
each band.
