Militia and Cowboy* Start jam the Trail of Reds and Negfrfcit Who Murdered Two Officers. Oklahoma City, Okla.--A bloody bat­ tle between five companies of Okla­ homa militia, cowboys and sheriff's men on one side and Crazy Snake's band of Creek Indians, halfbreeds and negroes in the Hickory Hills was re­ garded as inevitable Monday. When the troops reached Craxy Bnkke's camp at nine o'clock Sunday night they found it deserted and every tepee hut and tent in flames. The In­ dians had fled to a stronger position to the north. The heavily armed treops set out either to capture or exterminate the murderous band which, since Thurs­ day, has caused the death of six men, the wounding of many others and brought; about a condition of terror in Henryetta, Pierce and all the surround­ ing country. Crazy Snake's men number 100, all armed with modern rifles and plentiful­ ly supplied with ammunition. They had been preparing for two months for this, their final stand against lawful authority. They have defiantly sent out word that they fight to the death. The militia officers have declared that they will shoot to kill from the first. ' Crazy Snake's band strongly in­ trenched itself and was reinforced from time to time by roving companies which were scared away from Henry- etta by the coming of the state troops at three o'clock. Crazy Snake is in personal. command. This was estab­ lished by the testimony choked out of his college-bred son by means of a nice new inch-rope. Young Harjo was strung up by the determined deputies until nearly dead. Then he gasped out that his father was in command; named the Indian who killed the dep­ uties; told the officials how to trail the band, and did everything which a stoical red man is supposed not to do when in the hands of his enemies. Saturday night part of Crazy Snake's band was run to cover by deputies in a search for leaders in Thursday's fight. Marshal Baum of Checotah and Deputy Odom of Eufaula paid their lives as a price. They were shot down according to Crazy Snake's son, by Charles Coker, a Seminole Indian. During one of the engagements Sun­ day morning Grant Johnson, former United States marshal, killed an In­ dian. Citizens of Henryetta declare the trouble Is largely due to negro outlaws from other states, chiefly Texas, Ar­ kansas and Tennessee, who are wanted in their states for various crimes but who have escaped to Okla- toma. These negroes found ready refuge with the dissatisfied Indians and read­ ily fell in with their ideas of Insurrec­ tion, thereby taking a desperate chance of escaping from the law's clutches themselves. In an official statement, Gen. Ganton *said: "This uprising will be crushed quick­ ly and surely. Since it has become necessary to send troops to the dis­ trict, it is determined to^ make a rec­ ord in law enforcement which will be long remembered. "The state cannot afford to have this band of renegades cause bad ad­ vertisement semi-occasionally, and all can rest assured that the present dif­ ficulty will be settled once for all. Ball cartridges and bayonets may have to do the work, but it will be sat­ isfactory to Oklahoma in the end." DEATH BEATS FASTEST TRAIN.

BOYLE MAKES EFFORT fO LEAP FRO^fl TRAIN. Spend Quiet Sunday In Mercer Jail-- ; Affsngemen* for Trial M««e If: To-day. Pittsburg, Pa. --- While the Besse­ mer & Lake Erie railroad train, bearing Mrs. James H. Boyle, impli­ cated in the Whitla kidnaping case, was making 30 miles an hour at Va­ lencia, 20 miles north of this city, Mrs. Boyle made a daring, but unsuccessful, attempt to either escapq or seriously injure herself. Mrs. Boyle was en route to the Mer­ cer county jail at Mercer, Pa., and was in charge of Sheriff Gumbert of Alle­ gheny county and Detectives W. W. Perkins and Gilbert B. Perkins, Jr., of Pittsburg. The train had reached the Bakers- town hill, one mile south of Valencia, William Campbell, a railroad brake- man, opened the rear door of the chair car in which the woman and officers were riding. The next instant Mrs. Boyle jumped from her seat and ran toward the platform of the Car. Some one made a sharp cry and Brakeman Campbell slammed the door. Mrs. Boyle quickly stepped Into the lava­ tory and was attempting to open the window when Sheriff Gumbert forced his way into the room and took pos­ session of her. Mercer, Pa. -- After a week in­ tense with excitement, James H. Bo^le and Mrs. Boyle, or McDermott, or Thurston, or whatever her real name may be, had a real day of rest Sunday. The woman has not lost her nerve. Arrangements were completed Monday for the preliminary hearing. It is the opinion here that there are three more accomplices to be arrest­ ed and it is reported that efforts have been begun to locate them in this county as well as in Ohio. Former Judge Samuel H. Miller probably will defend Boyle when his case comes to trial at the April quar­ ter session court. No lawyer has been retained for the woman. JUNQLS.

OFFER imm em BRIBE GOTHAM POLICE COMMISSIONER COULD HAVE $600,000 YEARLY. , Declares His Mine Job Would Be a Gold to a Dishon­ est Man. New York. -- A dishonest man holding the position of police com­ missioner in New York city easily might become a millionaire in a few months, so great are the opportunities for Illicit gains, according to a state­ ment by Commissioner Bingham. During Mr. Bingham's first year in *.he office, he said, a single bribe of $600,000 a year was offered him if he would protect certain criminal Inter­ ests. "Compliance with the conditions of the offer," he added, "would have been entirely of a negative matter-- all they wanted was to be let alone." Commissioner Bingham was worked up over the refusal of the .city alder­ men to vote him an appropriation of $100,000 for a secret service to in­ vestigate "Black Hand" crimes - and other matters. "This job of police commissioner," be said, "for example, would be a regular gold mine to a dishonest of­ ficial. If It were put up at auction to the highest bidder, a man could well afford to pay $1,000,000 for a year's opportunity to accept what the crim­ inal classes would be only too glad to offer him." Then he referred to the $600,000 bribe offer which he had received when he first took up the office. "The offer was of course carefully guarded," he said. "It came from a suave gen­ tleman, who knew how to handle words to perfection and was able to make his hearer understand what was meant without laying himself open to any unpleasant after effectB. "I listened until I understood what the fellow was about. Then I gave him such a talking to that he will never forget his visit here as long as he lives. I have not heard from him since." Commissioner Bingham declined to give the name of the man ^ho had made the offer, nor would he say what interests had sought protection. MINER8 WILL NOT 8TRIKE. Decide to Remain at After April 1.

Waterloo, la., Mar. 29.--While sev­ eral hundred persons watched, pow­ erless to help, Christ Anderson and Henry Bothman, duck hunters, cling­ ing to an upturned boat, from which Frank Bentz had already jumped and drowned, went over the falls in the Cedar river yesterday and drowned. The three men tried to cross the river just above the falls and the boat upset. Their screams for help attracted a crowd, but no one could do anything to aid the doomed men while the up­ turned boat raced wildly toward the brink of the falls. Bentz, who was a laborer, struck out for the shore and swam valiantly until his strength gave out and he sank when almost at the bank of the river. The other two "men went over the falls and did not re­ appear on the face of the water. Anderson was assistant manager of the Herrick Refrigerator Company and Bothman was a saloonkeeper. The boat was recovered a mile below the falls. Oklahoma City, Okla.--A detachment of Crazy Snake's band of belligerent Indians was surrounded by deputy sheriffs Monday afternoon near Crazy Snake's home and a lively battle en­ sued. More than 200 shots were fired and one Indian was killed. Eight In­ dians were captured and the remain­ der fled with the deputies in pursuit. There were about fifteen Indiaps In the band that had taken refuge in a house. The deputies had tracked them for some distance and, were informed by a farmer of their location. Crazy Snake's band apparently has broken up into numerous small groups. Each is trying to accomplish his own escape without regard for the grand i dreams of the chieftain, to realize which they were called together Sun­ day by the smoke of signal fires. All efforts at organized resistance seemed to have been dropped with the sinking of the sun. The militiamen Monday captured the following prominent members of Crazy Snake's forces: Little Tiger, a sub- chief; Esley Larney, Jimmie Roe, W. E. Taylor, Tom Jeffries, John Lewis, Abe Burgess, Simla Harjo, Who is not related to Chlttl Harjo. Most of them were heavily armed. The Indian killed by the posse was the only fatality of the day reported to Col. Hofman. There are numerous rumors of engagements here and there, with varying numbers of fatal­ ities. One. story told that a posse of farmers near Checotah fought a large band of negro-renegades and killed 20. This, with similar reports, cannot be confirmed. George Woodruff, attorney for the department of the interior, reached Muskogee from Washington and will go to Henryetta Tuesday. A detachment of deputies captured Sandy Tabler, a half-breed who for a long time has been one of Crazy Snake's chief aids. KILL THREE AND WOUND FIVE.

Mercer, Pa.--The preliminary hear­ ing and safe return to the Mercer jail of James H. Boyle and the rumor that Jiis woman companion may entirely escape prison and soon regain her lib­ erty were the developments of A|pn- day in the Whitla kidnaping case. No one but Boyle had any fears for his safety when he was taken to Sharon for arraignment, but he was terribly frightened. Quivering with fear from head to foot and nervously begging the officers for protection, he faced a crowd of hundreds of persons attracted merely by curiosity. The opinion is spreading among the people of this county that Mrs. Boyle will not be prosecuted, but thit she will very sooti be entirely eliminated from the case and be allowed to de­ part. There is said to be no local proof whatever to connect her with the abduc*don and it is said her prose­ cution is not eagerly desired by Mrs. Whitla, whose wishes are likely to be respected. Boyle's bail was fixed at $25,000, which which it is said he has no chance of giving and the prisoner was returned to the jail at Mercer on the first train.
