EXPECT ANOTHER BATTLE.
THE MILITIAMEN WHO WERE AR-
RESTED TURNED LOOSE.
They Tank Up and Sot Out for Antlore,
Wh«ro Locko Is Waiting for Them.
Review of tho Fight.
Paws, Tex., March 29.— Everybody wns
uneasy yesterday when tho militia charged
down upon Locke's houno and opened tho
bloody light, of which a short report has pre-
viously been «ivon in The Nbws. No one
know who was safe with four score half drunk-
en, infuriated Indians, armed to tho tooth,
with the sinoll of blood in their nostrils.
Minutes seemed hours, and every heart wont
out to Locke's wife and little children, who
wero coopcd up in their home, which was
being riddled by Winchester balls.
The attack was a surprise to ovory ono,
com in# as it did. All belioved and hopod that
the matter had been sottlod or soon would bo.
At daylight yosterday morning tho militia
under command of Captain Key Durant wont
to Locko's houso and insisted on searching it.
Ho was not at homo, but in the mountains 111
camp about three mile3 from town. After
remaining in town a whilo they returned to
camp and word was conveyed to Looke, and
in company with his son and eight others ho
went home to «<?o what bad been done, as ho
fe.urod violence had been done to his family.
He readied there about 10 o'clock.
Yesterday morning United States Commis-
sioner H. ii. Kirkpatr.ok, United States At-
torney Frank Leo and Judge A. K. Durant, a
leading Jones man, went to the militia camp
at Davenport, throe miles north of Antlers,
and hail a long consultation with Captains
Durant arid Thompson and Judge (J. \V.
Dukes, a Jones leader. Tho government offi-
cials explaiued to theui the position tho United
States occupied. If Locko attacked Durant,
who was a United Statos deputy marshal,
Locke's entire party would bo held to answer
in the United States court for attacking him,
and if they attacked Locke they would be held
beeauso ho had nerved the United States as a
posse man and guard.
They wanted to know if they had process
for any man Locke had. After much dickering
they said they ha J process for Willis Jones,
who had been indicted for com pi i ity in tho
killing of the live Jones men at Wilburton last
fall. They said they wanted others, but thoy
had no papers for them and ho was delivered
to them accompanied by your correspondent.
Everybody teemed pleased and the militia-
men wore taking things easy and no ono would
have suspected any spirit of war among any
of them.
Tho party returned to Antlers, arriving
there at 11 o'clok. A meeting was had with
Locko, at winch Hon. John C. Gibbons,
United States commissioner at Antlers, was
present. 'JJfioy wanted an explicit proposition
from hodko in wntmg as to what ho would
do. Ldfcko prepared tho following, which
was placed in the hands of Messrs. Gibbons,
Kirkjnitrick and Loo to bo carriod to tho
> Key Durant, Captain of the Indian Militia—
in the interest of all parties concerned and
> do whatever is in my power to prevent further
trouble i herewith submit to yon and tho militia
the following proposition: Vou understand tho
laws of tho Choctaw nation to be that any and all
person* charged with any crime ugainst <>ur laws
shall, before officers are otnpowcred to make ar-
rests, be charged by complaint properly made be-
fore any county judge of tho county whore such
crimowas committed or by bill of indictmout
found by a legally organized grand jury.
That tho warrant based on such complaint or
indictment can b.t executed by tho sheriff of tho
county only, unloss he is poworlosi; by reason of
opposition to execute the name. thi n the light
horsemen of tho nation are authorized to arrest
him, and if such force is not suilicient then and
not until then tho militia may come to their as-
sistance.
If, thou, with this understanding as to the law,
you have a warrant, legally issued by the proper
officer, lor any citizen of the Choctaw nation, and
will place tho same iu tho hands of tho sherill".
empowered by our laws to oxueute tho same, 1
hereby agree and state that J will in ovory way
assist in having the arrost of such offender made,
or use whatever influence 1 may have in induc-
ing persons charged to surrender to such sheriff,
and will further do ail in my power to hnvo any
such person brought to justice if it appears
that tiioy have committed any crime.
v. M. Looks.
The party started for tho militia camp at 2
n. m., accompanied by Judgo Durant and the
News correspondent, They had gono about
300 yards when thoy met au advance party of
about twenty-five, who had picked up two of
Locko's scouts and disarmed them. This
party was headed by Judgo G. W. Duke. An
effort was made to talk with him by Mr. Gib-
bons and Judge Durant, but ho would not
hear them. They askod him to wait for tho
arrival of Captain Thompson, who war> com-
manding tho militia, Captain Durant having
beon called away. Duko would do nothing.
The News correspondent htarteddown tho
railroad track to town. Ho had not gono 100
yards before ho was told to hoid up. Look-
ing around, Duko was dashing down tho road
at the head of the militia. Away they wont
pcilrnell right up to Locko's house. Locko
asked them to allow his wifo and children and
the women and children in tho Methodist par-
sonage time to get out of tho way. Tho sharp
report of a Winchester endod tho parley.
A furious battle was on. Mrs. Locko wont
out of the house into tho street and denounced
Duke and his followers as cowardly, brutal
murderers and crossed to tho parsonage to
assure Mr. Hall and his wifo that her hus-
bvmd and his wife would not firo upon their
house, which the attacking party had taken
refuge behind. Meantime Captain Thompson
came up and in company with Mr. Gibbons
ho went to his men and bogged them to stop
firing. Thoy wont to Locko's house whilo it
was still receiving a leaden hail and whilo Mr.
Gibbons stood outside and commanded tho
peace.
Thompson assured himself that no man
wanted by the militia was harbored by Locke.
His men ceased firing. Mrs. Locke'went to
town and sent physicians to her houso. Messrs.
Kirkpatriek and Leo telegraphed to Marshall
Dickinson hero to send a strong force, as they
had warrants for the militia. After a parley
tho militia loft town and went a mile north of
town into camp. A survey was made of tho
field.
After looking ovor the place it seems almost a
miracle that a memborof Locko's family camo
out alive, and yet none was hurt. Warrants
were issued at once for a largo number of tho
militia, and lato in the afternoon Messrs. Gib-
bons, Kirkpatriek and Judge Durant went to
the militia camp and arrested G. W. Duko
and eighteen others and brought them hero to-
night. Many of tho militiamen refused to
participate in tho attack, and they said they
did not understand it to be their duty to war
on women and children.
The relations between the rival factions to-
day are still strained to their utmost tension.
It is believed that another battle will be fought
at Antlers to-night. The nineteen militia men
who were arrested there last night and brought
here had an examining trial to-
day beforo United States Commissioner
Last on. After hearing tho testimony thoy
wero released.
They all proceeded at once to a hardware
store and purchased a new Winchester apiece.
After that they got their tanks well tilled with
fire water and boarded the northbound Frisco
train at 0 p. m. Beforo leaving it was be-
lieved thoy would got off at Goodland, fifteen
miles this side of Antlers. When tho train
reached the place they wore all more or less
under tho inliuenco of liquor.
Judge DukeB, who iod tho assault on Locke's
house, insisted on going on to Antlers, and
swore ho was going to stop there in spite of all
that could bo done. Ho was told that tho
other militiamen were gono and Locke had a
strong force there, but no argument could dis-
suade him from his purpose. ()niy three or
four got off. Tho balance went on.
The south bound train met the north bound
there and passengers on it say that Locko had
fifty men at Antlers and declared that if tho
militia stoppod there and made any demon-
strations whatever ho would lire upon them.
Tho militiamen were in the smoker
and the lights were out. Locke's son, who
was attending school at Denison, arrived hero
this afternoon. Learning tho situation vounu
Looke tolographod his father warning of what
was coining. All efforts to roach Antlers by
wire since dark have failed* This is con-
sidered as a bad omen.
Tho deputies who « ont to Antlers last night
came back this morning. Thoy said that at
tho tiino they loft all was quiet. Tho
militia was roportod to have disbanded.
Sumo boliovcd, however, that this was
a ruse to throw Locko oil his guard.
People at Antlers fear tho town will
bo burned. Those wounded yostorday are do-
ing well except Solomon Battiste, sheriff of
Riiunlti county, who was with tho militia. His
recovery is considered out of the question, lie
was reported to be sinking to-night.

gloves, said George Siler to-day, wero pur-
chased just before tho boxing bout of a local
dealer, who will swear they weigli seven and
one-half ounces. Mayo evidently knows noth-
ing of tho New Orleans fight, for they used
five-ounce gloves there. Mayo started in to
knock out Fitzsimmons and the latter had no
alternative but to stop tho follow or lose his

Tlii» Forged Wlilaky Receipt*.
Louisville, Ky., March 29.—'The alleged
forgery of whisky warehouse receipts has beon
the talk on Main street to-day. Late develop-
ments show the forgery to be the moat bungle-

estimated there wore obtained from $150,000
to $200,OCX) from tho banks on tho worthless
paper in the last three years. It is believed the
forgeries were committed in A. it. Sutton's
office, and so careless was the work done that
receipts wore forged on whisky which was
forced out of bond a year ago, and even tho
names of gaugers and storekeepers who havo
been out of office for years wero forged.
About half tho receipts forged are h'.'ld iu this
city. Mr. Suttou has not been arrested and is
walking about town undor tho surveillance of
two dctectivos. Bank officials refuse to say
what they are going t) do and throw ovory ob-

NO GUARANTEE TO MEN AGAINST IM-
MEDIATE DISOflAIiGE,
Denial That There Was Contemplated a
General Strike During the World's
Fair—The Eumor Unauthorized.
New York, March 20,—Samuel Gomporn,
who roached this city yesterday from Detroit,
was asked what he had to say about the docis-
ion of Judge Ricks of Toledo and Judgo Bill-
ings of New Orleans regarding tho illegality
of strikos and boycotts.
"They show,"ho said,"that there is nu agree-
ment among the fudges, or at loast a tacit un-
derstanding, to attack iho labor organizations
of tho country. Thcro is an opinion that tho
decision of Judgo Ricks was called forth by
reports set pfloat la«t year that a gonoral
strike during the world's fair was contem-
plated by railroad men. Where tho report
emanated from is moro than I can say,
but I am positive that such a
movo was not contemplated by organized
labor or any branch of it. I ain rather in-
clined to tho opinion that it camo from tho
managers of tho railroads for a purpose, and
that purpose wo now neo in the almost simul-
taneous decisions of Judges Ricks, Tuft and
Billings. Tho plain purpose of tuo judges is
to prevent workmen from quitting their em-
ployment; in other words, to provont wtrikes
by law. These decisions in no wise guarantee
that, the companies may not lock out or dis-
charge at will or that thoy wili not enforce a
reduction of wages."
Injunction Against tho Cutters.
New York, March 29.—Tho clothing man-
ufacturers have soon in tho Toledo railroad

Lawrence, on their request, iasuod an order
for tho officers of tho United Garment Work-
ers of America and tho Amoricnn Federation
of Labor to appear and show cause why an
injunction should not bo granted restraining
them from interfering with tho business in
ordering boycotts on tho plaintiff*. Alfo why,
pending this action, an injunction should nob
bo granted restraining them from orders of
ail kinds which tenu to damage tho business
and cause great financial loss. Justice Law-
rence granted an adjournment of r. week in
the hearing of argument on tho injunction im-
posing ns a condition that in tho moanwhilo
the garment cutters should not issuo any moro
boycotting circulars.
