Dispatch to Globe-Democrat:
Henrietta, I. T., January 28-At 11 o'clock today Creek light horsemen of John Creek's disaffected band were seen over the brow of the mountain a mile east of this place. Lieut. Dixon turned the glasses on them and they disappeared over the hill. A party of scouts composed of Deputy Marshals Grant Johnson, Frank Jones, Hugh Henry and Bunnie McIntosh left cam immediately and circled the hill under cover of the woods. They surprised and captured John Creek and eleven of his men, and they were quietly disarmed of their Winchesters and six-shooters, and brought in. Lieutenant Dixon now holds them under guard in the company of old Crazy Snake. Other scouting parties are out coming the country for Snake's men, a good many of whom are around here in the hills. So far, not a shot has been fired. All the principal leaders in the Creek insurrection except principal Chief Lohotob Micco and two or three others are now prisoners. Commissioner Sanson will give then a preliminary trial tomorrow, on charges of treason or kindred charges.

Crazy Snake said today: "The President of the United States told us we could reorganize our old government again. He gave me a paper with the big seal on it and I have the paper here, and I will show it to Marshal Bennett and prove that I had the right to do what I have done. I will not talk any more until they ready to try me. I am a friend of the United States and was a soldier in the Union army in the Civil War."

Snake was evidently buncoed by some Washington lobbyist or lawyer, who gave him a joke paper in exchange for a fee, telling it was from the President. He will only show his credentials to the proper officers of the court at the proper time.

As far as the Choctaw Nation is concerned, the Indian war is over Daniel Bell, Chief Choctaw Snakes upon being interviewed today stated that, believing that they had the authority from the president, they simply banded themselves together for mutual protection: that no violence was intended against any citizen of the united States or against their property, that no violence was intended any railroad property, and the traveling public need not be alarmed that they could come and go on the trains unimpeded. The organization of full bloods will be kept up and maintained, but not as a menace to the white people.
