STONE SAYS HE LIED.
Perjury Is Admitted in Wisconsin In
quiry Friday.

Chief state Game Warden James
~. Stone, of Wisconsin,. testifying be-
fore the senatorial primary investigat-
CATION committee Friday confessed to
perjury in that his testimony when
he appeared before the committee
three weeks ago in his explanation as
to tho distribution of $500 Of the
Stephenson campaign fur was false.
In addition to this, Mr.. Stone in
formed the committee that the game
wardens raised a sum Of 81, 200, which
was given to Gov. James o. Davidson
for his campaign fund. The witness
presented a list showing how he dis
posed of something over $4,000, which
was materially different from the list
which HI offered when he first APP
pearcd before the committee.
The $1,000 campaign fun presented
to Gov. Davidson, Mr.. Stone declared,
was delivered in three installments.
Stone testified that when he delivered
the first $500 In an envelope the gov
erT1or asked him what 1t was, and Wit
ness remarked, ASK no questions and
I'll tell you no lies" The governor. ac-
cording to the witness. obeyed orders.
AS far as Mr.. Stone knew. GOV.
Davidson never solicited Il campaign
contribution.

Cook, republican candidate, told of
distributing between $4,000 and $4,000
in Milwaukee and other counties, and
testified that two of Cooks men were

cratic candidate for the assembly, Of
fering his services and proposing a
meeting for the support of a demo-
cratic club in Milwaukee for $500, but
the proposition was turned down.
Gov. J. O. Davidson explained the

Warden J. w. Stone, saying that he
had never been able to get an explana-
ton from Mr.. Stone. and that the
money is still in the bank at Mr..

Clnimholders Desire to Take Part in
Organization of Trip County.
H That the future citizens of Trip
county are not disposed to take their
politics second handed was evidenced
in a mass meeting of number holders
at Dallas Thursday night. These
number holders resent the notion of
having the county organization per-
fected ever temporarily by the pres
ent residents OF the county. n for
warded a petition to Gov. Wesley for
a delay in this matter until the new
citizens can obtain their rights as
voters.
1t has been the intention to take up
the matter of organization immediate
ly, leaving the determination Of affairs
to the few white settlers and citizen
Indians. There are about 600 Of the
latter class, mostly actual residents
of Meyer county.
They own land in Trip, however.
and claim, a voting residence there.
Among the new settlers about to
launch into Trip county are many
progressive business n professional
man and they desire a voice in affairs
from the start. They feel confident
the petition will be honored.
Trip county. so called, has a tenn
porary connection with Lyman county
that answers all present purposes of

over the head with a shotgun until he
was unconscious and supposed to be
dead. Barton put him upon a bed
by the side of his dead wife, ana Q.

CHIEF CRAZY SNAKE YIELDS.
Creek Chieftain, Badly Wounded, in
Hands of Militia.

A dispatch from H%enryetta, Okla,
reported that Crazy Snake, the outlaw
Creek chieftain, had been captured,
badly wounded, in the Concharta
mountains, southwest Of Henryetta, by
the militia under Col. Hoffman. A
later bulletin from Muskogee states
that Crazy Snake, the leader Of the
band of Indian and negro outlaws, has
been taken into custody, and is being
held at Thompson, a few miles from
Checotah.
The old Indian is said to have sur
rendered without. a fight and is badly
wounded, suffering from a gunshot
wound in the hip sustained in an en-
counter with an officers posse. 1t is
said official statements as to Crazy
Snakes capture are being withheld be-
cause Of the intense feeling prevalent.
The Indian will be taken to the Fed
eral prison at Muskogee.
Great excitement prevails among the
Seminole freedmen in the vicinity Of
Holdenville because of the arrest of one
of their number, Frank Coker, charged
with killing Marshal Baum and Deputy
ouOul uuIilS Tile llSuL at CIuLS ShlhC .
house Saturday. Reports reached Okla
homa City that the Seminoles are arm
ing to join Crazy Snakes band. Negro
agitators worked among the Indians
throughout the evening in an effort to
incite them to an uprising.
1t is charged that efforts are being
made to belittle the Indian trouble on
account of the supposed unpleasant no.
toriety to the State. For this reason
it is hard to get at the real facts re-
garding the number of dead and in
jured since fighting began Thursday.
A dispatch from Henryetta said mill
tary officers had reported unofficially
that three negroes and Indians had
been killed since Thursday. A promi-
nent citizen. Of Sapulpa declares en-
phatically hat the bodies of nearly
thirty negroes had been found near the
scene Of the original disturbance neal
