which hundreds of armed men have
stalked each other thru the rough tim-

gan today with predictions that the ups
rising against the selective draft Ia
doomed.
The rioters who have spread reign
of terror thru four counties in the cen-
trail southern portion Of the state were
declared to have been driven into Sem
mole and Hughes counties. where they
face sufficient number Of heavily
armed possemen to force their surren-
der.
with the death last night In Hughes
county of two men. one Of whom was .
draft ob1ector and the other man who
failed to halt when challenged by the /.
posse the total death list as result OF
the outbreak was increased TO three.
More than 200 members OF the various
bands have been placed under arrest.
It was hoped that little resistance
would be encountered in running. down 4
and capturing the two bands which are
still believed to be at liberty.
Among the resisters captured are said
Ito he several ofAthe leaders. but at least
three Of the men held responsible Tor
spreading the propaganda are believed
still to be at large.

at first were reported to be among the
hostile bands have rendered valuable
assistance in hunting down the resist
ers. In some instances the Indians.
mostly Seminoles have brought In pris-
oners single handed
Many of the tenant farmers who have
neglected their crops to take to the
warpath sent in word yesterday, usual
ly by women, that they were ready to
surrender and return to their civil pur-
suits. and while twas hoped that the
resisters would continue today to re-
linquish their plans for obstructlng the
draft law. 1t was realized that those
remaining out probably constituted the
more dangerous element and that pos
sbly there still was much difficulty
ahead in restoring normal conditions.
1t was believed, however, that with;
the augmented forces that would be in
the field today the uprising was sure-
ly nearing its end.
