STORY OF AN INDIAN WAR Facts About the Recent "Uprising" , Led by Crazy Snake. GRIEVANCE OF THE REEL RED The Score Oklahoma Got . Into Over ; the Tlmornn Hnake Band and ' the Alleged War In Whlrh , Not m ban W Fired. GUTHRIE, Okl., April 24. To restore order and suppress an "uprising" of the Snake band of the Creek Indians, one of the five civilized tribes, 175 men and officers of the Oklahoma Stato malitla were ' sent lately to the counties of Mc intosh and Okmulgee. Crazy Snake, leader of the Snake band, whoBe Indian name is Chitto Harjo, was portrayed as a' bloodthirsty savage, bent upon mas sacring all the white citizens in that part of Oklahoma Inhabited by the Knakes. The militia were In the field ten duys and the demonstration cost the state $5,000 or $8,000. Not a drop of blood was shed nor a gun fired. , i That is one phase of a "war," sensa tional accounts of which have done much linrm to the reputation of Oklahoma, es pecially In eastern status, where the false hoods were accepted as truth and where there Is difficulty in refuting them. The truth about the affair Involves the re cital of the effort of misguided fullblood Indians to save themselves from the flood of white civilization that Is beating 111 upon them and to maintain themselves in the simple life of their-ancestors. . It should be known that none of the five civilized tribes resembles the plains or reservation Indians, save in color, physiognomy and temperament. For generation they have been surrounded by .while men, but In sparsely settled regions whore they have been able to live iso lated In. their log cabins, cultivating a few acres of ground for corn and vegeta bles and gettlfcrf their moat from native hogs run wild and such game as tliey could find. Not Blanket Indians. They abandoned moccasins, and blank ets so many years ago that thtir oldest 'inon now living cannot remember their use. Their hjir is not worn plaited, but In the fashion of white men. Their clothing Is made in the factories of New York, as it bus been for generations. They do not pulnt their faces, and their only personal adornments are earring worn by a lew men and combs and bead necklaces worn by the women. Tho Snake Indians are perhaps lens su perstitious than the average negro. They till maintain their clan organizations and Have some dance ceremonies, few of them with any religious significance. There arc more 'than forty tribal towns among. Hit Creuks, .lAtanae. riwUty, Is, sliyn..in their, bull games, and In the contests the forty towns re about equally divided between the contending teams, this alignment probably having un ancient- origin. Tliey are skilled In the use of herbs In the treatment of disease, and their native doctors have re markable success in the treatment of gun shot wounds with embrocations of herbs ' The favorite fcod of the Snakes is offcv." the product of flint corn. The 'corn is dampened and pounded In a mor tar until it Is broken and the husk re moved. It is then boiled until soft and edible, -reasoned with ash lye and placed In a large jar, one vt which may be f.iund always beside ths fireplace in a Snake cabin. Sofky seems to bo wholesome and nutritious, but a steady diet - of It palls unon a white man's palate. To the best .solky hickory nut kernels are added. Ot all the bands or clans of the Creek nation the Snakes have been the leas nvgresaive and the most Intolt taut of bite men. Crazy Snake, their leader, not .heir cl&ii chief lug their opposition to the allotment of their lands in severalty and the abandon ment of tribal guvernment. Crasy fenake an Orator. Crasy Snalto baa an ideal Indian face, ts strong and sinewy of trains and is per haps the most t Ion uen t orator In the Five Civilized Tribes. .He Is' now about S5: "He believes with his wliulo heart that the Crsvk treaty with tho UnlkeU SUttea gov- ernment In 1832, though broken, should still sovern. That treaty gave to the Creeks their present lands to be held In common and protected against the Intrusion of white men "so long as water runs and grass grows." There has 'never been a moment that Crazy Snake has not been pleading for recognition pf this treaty. He told his Snake followers not to sign or In any way to recognize the allotment treaty of several years ago, ' and they obeyed him. I More - than that, they refused to choose allotments after the tribal lands had been segregated, and the Dawes commission was compelled arbitrarily to assign allot ments to the Snakes. Unhappily for Crazy Snake and his fol lowers, certain white men whisper to him that they have( power to induce congress to do what Crazy Snake is fighting for, and Crazy Snake believes them. That is his weakness. T,hey tell Crazy Snake and his people that ' money is needed to win the fight, and the' Indians beggar them selves to get It. A blanket Is placed on the ground at the councils and each Indian Is told to toss his contribution on It., Large sums of money have been (raised in this way from the WO Snakes. These councils were held at Hickory Ground, six; miles east of the town of Henryetta. , Had Ills Own Policemen.. A body of native horsemen were chosen to preserve order and to enforce the or ders of Crazy Snake. One of their duties was to keep white Intruders from the place of council. For infraction of the rules of camp life, these horsemen In flicted punishment by whipping on the bare back with hickory withes. The full blood Snake Creek Indian Is a timid, Inoffensive, Impoverished being. Living among the Snakes are negroes, who are slaves or descendants of slaves once owned by the Creeks. Through Intermar riage most of them have Creek Indian blood in their veins. They have received allotments of Creek lands. Unlike the Snakes, they are many of them vicious and revengeful and dangerous when drunk. In 1901 disturbances arose at Hickory Ground, the report spread that Crazy Snake and his . people were preparing to go on the warpath) and Crazy Snake was sent to Jail for a few months. In July, 19on, stories of another Snake Creek "war" were circulated. Adjutant-General Frank Canton, an old frontiersman, went to Hickory Ground and learned from Crazy Snake that his light horsemen bore arms to protect the camp and the women and children against lawless characters and to suppress the sale of whiskey. Crazy Snake agreed to disarm his men, but asked that three be permitted to retain their weapons, to police the camp, which was granted. The excitement passed away. From that council came the trouble at Hickory Ground last month. Creek negroes and negroes from outside states who at tended that council remained on the ground after the departure of the Snake Indiana to their homes in the hills. A village of tents and huts grew up, ' Tblevlna- Xegrroea started Troanle. Having no means of support f.he negroes stole chickens, corn, bacon and other things from the neighboring farms and oc casionally killed a hog, which quickly pro voked hostility between them and the white farmers. Local officers went to the camp on. March 18 to search for stolen meat. Theywere resisted and fired upon. It Is said that there was not a Snake In dian In the camp. Nevertheless the news spread that there was an outbreak of In dians and that they were preparing to kill the while' Inhabitants and fire the build ings In the neighboring towns. Most of the negroes In the camp were arrested. One negro was killed and sev eral white men wounded, though newspa per dispatches placed the fatalities as high as thirty or forty. Crazy Snaite was suspected of having had was conspicuous in lead- Jm'1 " l"" "'" ""-" ul -P"iy iierms was sent iruin inecoian to ar rest liim at his home near Pierce. On their appearance near the house Crazy Snake and his companions started to run awy. ine ucputiea snot at tne fugitives and a general fight took place. ' Two deputies, Edward Bauiu and Hermann Odhom, were killed. Crasy Snake was shot through the calf of the leg, but he escaped. The home of Crazy Snake was burned to the grvuud next day by unknown persons. There is suspicion that there may have been gullet holes in the house and that It may have been fired upon by the depu ties without warning to Its Inmates. The fire destroyed any evidence of this. Auer mis mere couia, or course, no Tonger be any doubt that the Snake In dlans were "on the warpath, scalping de fenceless settlers and pillaging the coun try." Dozens of men, "highly respected In their communities" were said to have been eye witnesses of such atrocities and the yellow newspapers were filled wtlh thrill lng accounts of what was taking place. An appeal was made to Governor Haskell for state troops and on March 28 Colonel Roy Hoffman, wtlh five companies of state militia, was sent Into the field. The timid Snake Indians, aa well as the Creek negroes, had deserted their homes and hidden themselves in the hills, most of them In terror of the swarms of deputy sheriffs and constables now riding the country. Hoffman Promised Proteetlon. The constant endeavor of the troops was to capture Crazy 8nake. His kinsmen and friends were told that Colonel Hoffman would give him the utmost protection Crazy Snake was known to be accompanied by a stanch ally named Pin Harjo. The. latter Is a dwarf. . In the Green Peach war, a Creek tribal rebellion' ef many years ago, he was credited with having killed thirty-two of his tribesmen. To look after the full blood Indians tho federal government sent a number of It agents Into the- field, among them Thomp son Tiger, official interpreter and son of Moty Tiger, chief of the Crvk Nation. The troops had a number of perilous ad ventures. Late one night news came tha Crazy Snake was at the home of an Indian woman on the north bank of the North Canadian river below Wcleetka. He wa reported to have ten or twelve armed men secreted In the timber around the house resist attack. A squad of deputy sheriffs had surrounded the house pending the ar rival of the troops, the deputies not wish ing to risk a night battle in the timber. Bam Cook, one of the Cook brothers noted outlaws, most of whom were sho or hanged during the early days of ou la wry In Indian Territory, was employed to guide the troops to the spot. When they arrived the deputies reported positively that late that afternoon more than twenty heavily armed negroes had Jumped from freight train nbi ut a mile up the road and gone to the assistance of the men at tl home of the Indian woman. fader the circumstances the soldiers ad vareed cautiously on the house. Fred Cook, district Indian agent, proposed that should go ahead with Legtia Jones, son of Crazy Snake, and Thcmpson Tiger, the Interpreter, to hold a parley, not bellevln that Crasy Snake would allow his men to fire upon his son. Grim Hnmor of T. Tiger. "Here's where ar. Indian gets Into troubl for knowing too dnmnd much by under standing the English language and the ways o: the white man," said Thompson TIkc Tiger has a fine sense of Jjumor. "I haven't lest any Snake Indians nor anything else In this God forsaken country," continued Tiger. "I am drawing my salary for the sole and exclusive duty of talking, not fighting, but I guess my hand has been called, so here goes." Tiger was unarmed and went agalnvt the game with his teeth Set. With his two companions Cook moved quickly to the first house In sight and called to those within. No reply. Tear in a board from the side he peered in and found his face squarely against that of an Indian woman naralvzest with frlirltt Krai women and a man came from the house, when told that they would not ba harmed. They said .that Crazy Snake was not there. Tiger knew them and believed them. Half a mile away was another hous?. "That's the place where these Strang. r men have been staying," said a settler who lived in the neighborhood. "They've been sending the women down here to sleep at night, to have thain out of the way, I suppose. If there should be a fight." , Orders were given icq advance and sur round the house. The advance was made with extreme caution, the shelter of trees not being overlooked. The house was sur rounded kt a distance of about 160 yards. A newspaper correspondent, armed with two battered, but sure-shooting cameras, had planted himself at the base of a white oak tree of ample girth, and was congratu lating himself upon the situation, whon a deputy with a rifle as long as a fence rail came crawling up from the rear. Onstlna; Correspondent. This deputy manifested extreme affer'm for the tree. He Was no fond of It. In fai t, that he rooted the newspaper correspondent aside, and exposed that timid civilian to all the Immediate horrors of war. Another deputy crawled out of the darkness, wormed himself carefully between the legs of his outstretched companion and lay flat on the letter's body, a kind of two-deck ar rangement. One of the women had been brought from the other house and told to enter the one that had been surrounded, which she did. There was no response for four or five minutes. Conk, with Jones and Tiger, the latter still deprecating his knowledge of the English language, broke the suspense by going to the hoose and routing out Its Inmates. r Aytnan and a half dozen women and children came shivering Into the yard. Neither Crazy Snake nor any other man had been there. Tiger knew andS. be lieved them. This was the kind of sen-Ice the troops saw, day after day in the Crazy Snake "war." Crazy Snake was still In the hills when the troops were disbanded. He is re luctant to surrender because of his fear of mob violence. Statement of Grievances. The grievances of Crazy Snake were stated In an appeal he made to the senate committee that Investigated matters con neced with the affairs of Indian Terri tory In 1907. The1 members of the' com mittee were Senators C. D. Clark of Wy oming, chairman; Chester .1. Long of Kansas, Frank B. Brandegee of Connec ticut, Henry M. Teller of Colorado and WllliHm A. Clarke of Montana. Crazy Snake spoke with Intense feeling. In part he said: ft am here and stand before you to- ay, my fathers, as a man or misery. am here appealing to you to have the laws carried out. "The troubles were always about tak ing my country away from me. I' could live In peace with all else, but tliey wanted my country and I was in trouble defend ing it. It was no use. They were bound to take my country away from me. It may have been that my country had to be taken away from me, but It was ot Justice. I have always been asking for Justice. I never asked for anything else but Jus tice. I never had Justice. First. It was this and then it was something else that was taken away from me and my people, so we couldn't stay there any more. Its was a treaty a solemn treaty. We made terms of peac. for It had been war. Then It was the overtures of the government to my people to leave their land, the home of their fathers, the land that they loved. He said: 'It will be better for you to do as I want, for these old treaties cannot be kept any longer.' He said, 'You look away off to the west, away bver brackward and there you will see a great river called the Mississippi, and aw.iy over beyond that there Is an other river called the Arkansas river,' and he said, 'You go away out there and you will find a land that is fair to look upon and is fertile, and you go there with your people and I will give that country to you and your-people forever." Solemn Promise Recalled. "He said: 'Go away out' there beyond these two rivers, away out' the direction of the setting sun. and select your land what you want of it and I will locate you and your people there and will protect you as long as the sun shines, grass grows and water runs. He said: 'Go nvay put .there to this land toward the setting sun and take your people with you and locate them there, and I will give you that land forever, and I will protect you and your children In It forever.' "That was the agreement and the treaty, and I and my people came out here and we settled on this land, and I carried out these agreements on all points and violated none. I came over and located here. "All that I am begging of you, honor able senators, ts that these ancient agree ments and treaties wherein you promised to take care of me and my people be ful filled and that you will remove all the difficulties that have been raised In refer ence to my people and their country, and I ask you to see that these promises are faithfully kept. That Is all I desire to Bay." Crazy Snake did not know that his en treaties were falling upon deaf ears, that all he complained of had been (Vine Ir revocably and that his tribal government had ended forever. In his view of life Crazy Snake Is as primitive as were his ancestors. He would have his people live only upon the natural products of the earth, as they did centuries ago, abstaining from the use of manufactured articles. For that reason be believes that manufactured salt and baker's bread and canned goods are abominations. In his marltil relations Crazy Snake follows the ancient customs of the Creeks, Ignoring all marriage ceremonies -and living with wives by mutual agreement.
