Valuable Help From Indians.

Full-blooded Indians. many of whom
at first We're reported to be among the
hostile bands of government enemies
have rendered valuable assistance in
hunting down the resisters. They have
followed trails over the difficult coun-
try that would have been impossible for
white possemen to have noticed.
Although many of the tenant farm
ers. who have neglected their crops to
take to the warpath have sent in word,
usually by women, that they were
ready to surrender and return to their
civic pursuits, officials said that sew
eral of those still at large are among
the more dangerous element.
They expressed the belief however,
that with the augmented forces of
possemen in the field today the upris-
ing would soon be brought to an end.
