Bu)t the drummer did not know this and drove The horses buggy and baggage were all lost and swept down the stream but he got out allrightV The total loss to the stable was $325. THE SMITH-GRAHAM FEUD.

Judge Marshall Discharged the fendants. Grant Johnson arrested Monday near Brush Hill, Will and Tom Smith, the Burvivors of Smith-Graham feud. xhese boys killed two of the Grahams battle of the two families on February 27, in which their father, W. V. Smith was killed.

They were charged with murder but were discharged by Judge Marshall Tuesday because the evidence showed them to have been justified in the killing. Attorney G. M. Porter represeeted-them and made a speech in their defense that drew applause from the crowded court room The evidence showed that the Grahams came to Smith's house three times and each time better prepared to kill. The first time "a fist fight' re- salted.

The second time old man Graham fired five or six shots without results, and Smith fired one shot. -The third time the Grahams came they opened'flra killing old man Smith and wounding his little boyy Tom Smith, in the face and Bhonlderr- "I crawled over and laid down by Papa," he' said on the stand. Will Smith on the scene about this time and begged the Grahams to desist but they fired on him, shooting him through the hat. Grahams then started away saying they- would get more amunition, come back and kill the remainder of the' Smith boys, At this Will Smith tired on the Grahams killing both of them." The evidence was so clear that the court had ho choice but to discharge the prisoners. whejthjer this is true or not, but he is a ritizenTSi the United States and if he wants to do so he has a righTto do so, and it is.

something like bad faith to persuade this poor old ignorant full- blood Indian to plead guilty to a charge on which he could never -been convicted by a jury, and then, because his unwilling limbs refuse to dance to the musip of the time-dishonored revolutionists of the interior department branch office jerk him up and pull him around as an example to people whtt "will not allot." will-do no good this way. Indians' who Haven't sense enough to take their allotments voluntarily haven't sense enough to be frightened intotaking them. TO ARREST CRAZY SNAKE. Indian Police Wadsworth is After Him. Yesterday morning Indian man Wadsworth of Muskogee went out to Old Crazy Snake's house 16 mile's northwest of Eufaula to re-arrest the ex-insurrectionist Crazy Snake, when a prisoner at Muskogee, was.

induced to plead guilty to some insurrectionary charges on the understanding that he would be released on good behavior. It seems that "good behavior," according to the powers that be at Muskogee, includes tiling and conformation to the wishes of J. George Wright, etc. It seems old Snake hasn't filed. Fullbloods are slow people anyhow.

It seems that some people have told the looal branch office of Washington Wisdom at Muskogee that old Snake has been agitating non-allotmqht. We don't know SNAKE STILL MUTTERS. Renewed Agitation Among Disaffected Creeks Brings a Warrant for His Arrest. Muskogee, April blood membersof the Creek tribe of Indians are showing their dis-C satisfaction again. A warrant is out'for the arrest of Crazy Snake, Reports of a speech made by Latah Mekko, a Creek or Snake chiefy-a few dayB ago on Little River, have just reached here.

Mekko concludecThis'address crying: "Do not give up your birthright. No white man can take it away from you. "Never- sign the allotment roll, for there is no power on earth that can compel you to'give up your homes to the white men or to turn yotir fields over to the renters, who are occupying the prairies and driving our game away and troubling the remnants of the noble descendants of those who fought- on the hickory ground of old Alabama. Give up your lives, but save your birth-right. Twenty-five full-blood Creeka gave gutteral assent to the har- rangue of their chief they will not reports say, sign the rolls or file on allotment.

The last ten days Chitto Harjo, or Crazy Snake has been inciting full? bloods to oppose the work of allotment or enrollment. It is known that he has been talking this way for ten days, but it is said that he had no sooner alighted from the train at Checp- tah the day he was paroled than he began talking against the allotment and treaty. He has been traveling up arid: down Deep Fork Wild cat and other streams in and' about the fullblood district in. the western part of the nation, telling the people that they did not have to give up lands. Ho has stated that he was not punished at Muskogee, but turned loose and to go and tell his.
