CRAZY SNAKES WAR

Philadelphia.-"Cra Snake, the
principal figure in the recent war of
the Creek Indians in Oklahoma, was
l6 miles from the scene of trouble
when it began and knew nothing of
ii until the next day.
The first blow against the Indians
was struck by the whites, and the Sc
we're measures adopted against the
Indians met with no retalatory acts,
TThese were statements in the report
on the uprising" made to the In
dams Rights association by n. S. Bro
sius, general agent, at a meeting of
the society in the Provident building,
Fourth and Chesnut streets, in this
city.
As result of his report, made after
a special trip to investigate the affair,
the association will seek to have pro-
secrtions against the responsible per-
sons begun, through the Oklahoma
state authorities and the department
of the interior.
Back of the trouble, it was said, lay
the desire of the white man for the
land occupied by the Indians, and in
support of this contention It was point
ed out that an agitation to have the
lands thrown open for settlement was
begun Immediately upon the close of
the "war"
The report Of Agent Brosius was
based largely upon the statement OF
Chief Moth Tiger, Of the Creek nation.
an Indian respected by both the white
and red faces. According to his
story the first "battle" was caused by
a gang of lawless negroes, who attack
ed posse of white men seeking stolen
goods. This was at Hictory Grove. 16
miles from the home of Crazy Snake.
On the following day Indians who
had heard of the affair gathered at
Crazy Snakes home to consult with
him. While they were there a posse
approached The Indians thinking
they were about to be attacked, fled to
the underbrush and were fired upon
They shot back, and the war" was
begun.

GEORGE MEREDITH DIES.
Noted English Writer Dies After Very
Short Illness.

London, May 19.-George Meredith,
the English novelist, died at $3.50
o'clock yesterday morning.
The immediate cause of his death
was heart failure, following grave
symptoms that developed early in the
evening. Mr.. Merediths illness be-
gan on May IA. and he had steadily
declined since that time. So serious
was his condition yesterday evening
that the attending physicians remain
ed constantly at his bedside.
Born in Hampshire, England, in
1928. George Meredith received much
OF his early education in Germany.
and there became imbued with GER
tain characteristics. which later be-
came prominent in his poems and
other writings. On the completion Of
his studies abroad he returned to
England and took up the study of
law, but soon abandoned this for lit
erary work.
When but q years of age his first
poem, "Chillianwaliah." appeared in
Chambers Journal and shortly after
he married the daughter of Thomas
Love Peacock, to whom he dedicated
his first book Of poems. Much Of the
characteristics of his father-in-law's
work he absorbed. and used to ad-
vantage in his later works. His som
net-sequence, Modern Love-" is
probably his finest and most endur-
ing work. though at the time of its
appearance 1t was radically criticised.
Both his poetic and prose works
lack popularity owing 10 their Sc
robustness, and their tendency towards
analysis and introspection. His writ
ing is considered often obscure; but
this was not because of inability to
write simply, but owing to a desire
to pack as much thought as possible
into his phrases.
. on the occasion of his S0th birth |
day he was showered with congratu-
lations from all parts of the world |
and visited by deputation headed by |
Anthony Hope, and presented with |
an address signed by Algernoon
Charles Swinburne. Thomas Hardy, |
John Morley and more than 100 lead /
ers in art, letters and scholarship.
