Republican A. p. Leased Wire1

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla, Aug. A. With one of their leaders dead, an- other captured and at least twenty five members of their bands in the hands of peace officers, posse leaders tonight were of the opinion the back bone of the rising of objectors to the selective draft in Oklahoma was under control The outlaws have been scat tered into such small bands that fur ther success of the resistance is be- HeVed impossible.
 Wallace Cargill, alleged leader of one of the bands, shot through the stomach this afternoon when officers encountered objectors near Rocky Point, died short time later Three others besides Cargill were said to have been captured.
 In federal district court here today, the demurrer to the indictments of the eleven alleged members of the 'Jones Family" anti-draft organiza- tion was overruled by Judge John H. Cotteral. Bail in each case was fixed at $500. Trial of the men will be in Enid, early in September.
 A near lynching occurred this after noon in the Lone Dove neighborhood when possess caught four objectors, two McNelly boys. John Gray, an old man, and Doc" White a negro. In their efforts to get information re- garding the movement of the recalci- trants, one of the McNelly boys was strung up with rope around hls neck He refused to talk and was cut down and with the others, taken to Sasakwa.
 
 three other prisoners were taken. c. c. Brewer and his son and Robert Car gill They were taken to Konawa after they had thrown down their weapons and had attempted to flee.
 From prisoners, the name of virtual ly every leader has been ascertainee. These call themselves captains and are distinguished by 8 brilliant red sash. Contrary to previous reports, the rebels appeared to be amply sup piled with ammunition, although their fire arms are of every conceivable pattern. A survey of the hardware stores in the afflicted district, has re- vealed that the ammunition stocks have been bought up for the last sev- eral weeks, evidently in anticipation of armed resistance.
 It was believed that the activities of the Objectors in this state most of whom are said to belong to the Working Class union," but some be- ing enrolled in the "Jones Family" a band with a similar purpose, as the "J. w. W" were but part of a na- tiorally spread propaganda to resist se'vice in the army
 Federal authorities here declare the movement has been whispered, but has been so loosely organized that quick failure was bound to be the in- evitable outcome.
 So far no troops have been sent into the affected districts. Governor R. l.. Williams in a statement late today. declared:
 'I won't send troops until I see fire from this smoke"
 Railroad traffic today was delayed, due to several bridges having bee burned and telegraphic communication severed Most of the damage has heen repaired and with ample guards placed tonight, no further depreda- tions of this character are anticipated.
 A survey of the situation, made from incomplete reports charged the rioters with the alleged burning of three railroad bridges, an unsuccess- ful attempt to destroy an oil refinery at McAlester and the terrorizing of many men, women and children who did not sympathize with the attempts pf the tenant farmers. indians and regroes who composes the bands. About thirty alleged obiectOrs were in jail tonight at Ada, Holdenville and Wewoka. They were captured last night and today at various points throughout the district. Eleven other persons declared by federal authori- ties to have been members of anti draft organizations. were arraigned in the United States district court here this afternon. They were accused of having joined a plot in which it was planned to raise the red flag of revolution in an orgy of rioting.
