DRAFT REBEL KILLED: TWO POSSE
X MEN WOUNDED. ONE CARRIED OFF
I Seminole Indians Are
Loyal to GOUernment;
Z Not EUaderS of Draft

SASAkWA. okla, Aug. 5.-One OF
the most lamentable features of the
antidraft rebellion that swept the
northern part of Seminole county off
It's feet for two days and nights and
still shoulders were the unkind and
untrue rumors questioning the loyalty
of the Seminole Indians of this sec
tion of the country to the cause of
the government.
While IL Is true there were few
Indians identified with the draft re-
bellion, IL is equally true they were
greatly outnumbered by negroes, and
In turn the black numbers were in
significant when compared with the
number of white hillsmen from the
surrounding woods and BLACK Jack
country.
Not only are the rumors unfounded.
but 1t Is undisputed by possemen that
the Seminole Indians in this part Of
the county gave every aid they could
In hunting out the leaders and fol
lowers of the w. G. L. and Jones fam
lily factions. AS soon as the trouble
broke out they were the first to offer
their autos. their firearms and them
selves TO the task of putting down the
rebels.
With the names of practically every
one OF the leaders in the draft revolt
and their followers In the hands of
officials of Seminole county, the
names of only eight Indians can be
found, and these for the most part,
are believed to have been forced to
join the factions thru fear and lg-
norance.

When a weary bugler sounded taps
at Camp Tulsa last night only the
sentries heard After fully establish
ing quarters. clearing forty acres OF
campground and squaring themselves
away for real training, members of
the Ambulance and Engineering com
panies which were mustered into the
federal service yesterday. had fallen
into their hunks long before the call.
They will arise at 6:15 o'clock this
morning to swing into full routine of
soldering as becomes their new ca
pacity in the regular army OF the
United States. Announcement from
heads of both companies was to the
effect that organization would be
completed this morning and the rig
orous schedule cited above will go
into effect.
Twenty One Missing.
When the official roll call was
called by both companies yesterday
IL was found that only 81 men were
missing from both organizations.
Eight of these are of the Engineers,
while the Ambulance corps lacks 13
to date.
Only about two hundred of the men
were accommodated at the camp last
night, it being found at the last mo-
ment that not enough hunks were on
hand. To cope with the situation,
headquarters announced that any
men who so wished could come into
the city for the night. Fully half the
camp slept in their homes for what
may be the last time
The commiSsary department. in the
hands of the Tulsa Y. NJ. G. A. cafe
terra force, started off in good style,
furnishing the first meal at noon.
Roast beef, mashed potatoes, green
peas corn, pie, bread, butter and cof
fee were the rations handed out to
the impatient line of men as they
held out their tin plates for the first
time.
Clear Away Debris.
Thruout the day dozens of details
were busy clearing away debris, es-
tablishing the cook tent, putting
headquarters in shape. setting up
lockers. preparing hunks. wheeling
ambulances into alignment and
thousand other things which were
deemed necessary to the establish
ing of the camp.
No attempt at a formal organiza-
ton of the two companies was made,
and all such items as drill were elm
mated from the first days schedule.
1t is probably that the men will be
given the first command to fall in
for company drill this morning.
Headquarters of the two organiza-
tions has been established just out
side the armory. The ambulances are
ranged along one side Of the quad
rangle, which will serve as parade
grounds. The mess tent is at the east
end of the parade grounds. The
