Leslie c. Dean of Northport was before the
Probate Court last Thursday upon complaint
filed by A. F. Hahn, executor of the estate of
Maria D. Dean of Lincolnville, that bonds be-
longing to the estate and amounting to SILL
500 were in the possession of Dean. When
asked to describe the bonds and tell where
they are now, Dean declined to answer, and
was ordered committed to Jail for contempt of
court. By agreement of council and consent
of the judge Dean was not committed. although
nominaly in charge of an officer. Dean was
indicted at the September term of court for
the larceny of these bonds, and the case was
then, by direction of the judge, transferred
from the criminal to the civil docket, and will
come up for trial at the January term. Dunton
& Morse, counsel for Dean, contended that as
he was soon to come up for trial before the
Supreme Court he should not be compelled to
answer now and proposed to apply for a writ
of habeas corpus to prevent his commitment.
Tuesday, Dean, his counsel, R. F. Dunton, ESQ.,,
and Judge Rogers went to Augusta for hear
ing before Judge Whitehouse of the S. J. court.
Judge Whtehouse said that as the case was
somewhat novel one he should have to take it
under advisement, but he would make his de.
csion known in a few days.

INDIANS ON WAR PATH.
CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE LEADS RIS.
ING IN OKLAHOMA.
State Proceed in Force Against Rene
gade Indians, Negroes and Half
breeds-Battle Is Inevitable.

Oklahoma City. Okla, March 2S.-
Chief Crazy Snake and 100 followers
retreated before five companies of
Oklahoma militia tonight, deferring
expected battle.
Hastily sewing fire to his tepees and
tents, the Indian leader, with his mix
ed company of Snake Creek Indians
and negroes fled from the camp as
the troops advanced. They took a
strong position betweeen the North
Canadian river and Deep Fork creek
about seven miles east of Henrietta.
Col. Hoffman, in command of the
State troops, decided it would be un-
wise to push the pursuit and engage
the Indians in the darkness. Accord
ingly he bivouaced for the night.
Early tomorrow. reinforced by COM
pany of cowboys, all crack shots, he
will lead his forces against the In
dians.
Crazy Snake and his braves will
have a chance to surrender. If they
refuse the battle will be on, unless the
red skins again retreat
Col. Hoffman sent out numerous
scouts to watch the movements of the
enemy.
The militia officers believe Crazy
Snake wants to reach the Tiger
mountains with his followers before
engaging in a general fight. That
the old chief is striving to stir the
Creeks to an uprising and strike for
what he conceives to be liberty was
evident from the smoke of three sig
nal fires on adjacent hills just before
sundown. Old time frontiermen, who
insist they know what such things
mean. declare this is a sign which al
ways ushers in Indian troubles.
Maj. Charles F. Bartlett, in charge
OF the commissary. received hurry or
ders tonight by courier for supplies
and additional ammunition. From
this 1t Is inferred that the officers ex-
pect a long chase.
Six men have been killed and a
dozen wounded since. the trouble be-
gan Thursday. This is the official re-
port. but DR.. I. M. Wallace Of Dustin,
Okla. who went to the Hickory Hills
with the troops today. declared more
than 20 negroes and Indians were
killed Thursday and Saturday and
were rudely buried, without collins.

GOOD ADVICE TO GIRLS
Desire to Leave Home, So Prevalent
in Girls, Likely to Bring Dis
appointment

The Baltimore Sun delivers the fol-
lowing little parchment, filled with
sound sense, to the girls who are anX-
ious to leave home and "see life" as
it is called Little girl, you may
think your life is dull, and that the
rest of the world is enjoying itself in
one long round of pleasure. You may
think your parents are rather unin-
teresting people, and that by their
rules and restrictions they are just
keeping you from having good time
But there is many girl who has
wandered away out into the world
who longs and prays for some such
sheltered nook, where love and peace
and quiet and happiness dwell Once
you go through that door into the
outside world you leave the charmed
circle and find yourself in a maze of
dangers of which you never dreamed.
1t is a magis door that holds safe
all those within, but seldoms opens
again to those who have passed
through it and try to return. When
girl wanders out into the wide
world she finds a thorn in every rose
and a serpent at the bottom of every
sparkling glass"

question The majority against sa-
looms was more than 500 in the coun-
