The Ada Weekly News August 9, 1917 SEVEN NEW ARRESTS TODAY At noon today Sheriff Duncan got word that one of the leaders and six men were captured and take to Wewoka. McAlester, OK Aug 7 - Anti-draft rioters who for three days ran amuck in Southeastern OK, this afternoon faced the United State commissioner's to answer the charge of treason. District Attorney McGinnis, in charge of the prosecution, announced that where evidence is sufficient he will ask the death penalty. Prohibitive bail will be asked in order to hold the men until trial. Authorities are confident they have two National organizers among the 250 prisoners. Evidence and records seized by authorities show the Working Class Union had 27,000 members in the State. The records also give evidence for the arrest of many leaders of the revolutionary movement. The uprising in Seminole county is apparently about to an end, but posses are still searching the woods and picking up suspects and arms. It is estimated that no fewer than 300 men have been taken and now that the tide has set in so strongly against them, they are beginning to come in and surrender. SPECIAL TRAIN TO KONAWA Late Saturday afternoon a phone message came from Konawa saying that it was reported that 300 men were planning to march on the town during the night and that help was needed. Sheriff Duncan at once secured an engine and caboose from the Katy and in less than an hour sixty armed men were on their way to the scene of the threatened trouble. When the party arrived at Konawa Sheriff Duncan wanted to go out into the place where it was suspected that the trouble makers might be and take whatever steps might be needed. However, no one who new the country and who the suspected men were would guide the posse or give any definite information and as there was little need of such a force to guard the town, the Ada party left for home shortly after midnight. Saturday afternoon an encounter took place ten miles east of Konawa in which W. T. Cargill said to be secretary of the organization at Friendship was shot through the body. He has been reported as dead but physicians at Francis who tended on him , reported that he is still alive, but with very little hope for recovery. Cargill and three companions were found by a posse of three of four men and ordered to surrender. Cargill ran and was fired on. The other three, C.C. Brewer and his sons, Homer and Dave surrendered. Several men came from Shawnee during the night and when a report came that a party of resisters had been located near town, they marched to the place but found nothing. During the day Sunday five arrests were made at Vamoosa and five elsewhere who were taken to jaila.a A negro was also arrested charged with the killing of another negro but this had no connection with the main trouble. Among the arrested men was a man by the name of Huckabee, formerly county commissioner elected on the socialist ticket, and Poly Weems, a former student of the Ada Normal. J.C. Moore of Ada spent the day with one of the posses in that part of the county. BREWER'S STORY The Shawnee News Herald gives the following interview with Brewer: C.C. Brewer, age 41 and his two sons, Dave aged 18 and Homer aged 16, held in the city jail for the Seminole county authorities, talked freely to a News-Herald representative last night regarding the shooting of W.T. Cargill, secretary of Friendship local of the W.C.U. to which the father and oldest son belonged, and related in some detail all the horrors of the plan in which they declared had been maturing in the past fifteen months to establish a reign of terror, kill all officers and inaugurate a revolution. They admitted membership in the Working Class Union, but maintained they entered into their plans only under duress and had been trying to get out. The plans of the W.C.U. they said, included the shooting of officers from abuscades along the roadsides. "They were to divide into parties of two or three each, "said he elder Brewer, "and hide in the bushes to shoot down the officers as they passed. Then the members were all instructed to secure poison and have the women put it in the bread and in the water to be offered officers when they appeared at the homes of any of the members. I have heard these instructions given by Will Benefield at a meeting of Friendship Local. "But tell the officers to beware of the roads," ejaculated the prisoner. "There's where the great danger is. Every one of them will be shot down as sure as they keep to the roads. The boys were all to be scattered along the roads today and they were to get every officer who appeared." Brewer declared that he and his older son had been members of the Friendship local, W.C.U. which had about 110 members, all whites and Indians for about 15 months. They had taken the death oaths and attended the meetings. They were tenants of Cargill, who appears to have been secretary of the local. When they saw how serious things were getting, says Brewer, they decided to get out. There was a general meeting Thursday, attended by 150 members. At this meeting they slipped away and had since been trying to hide from the members. At the time of the officers approach they were hiding behind the house on a creek. Cargill, who, they said, had been scouting from the officers for the past six weeks, was hiding near the creek a short distance away, and they had just joined him when the posse appeared on the scene. Cargill had often declared that he would never be taken alive. After slipping away from Thursday's meeting. Brewer said, he had written a letter to his son-in-law in Texas asking him to send him $15 to send his wife down there. This letter was found unmailed. It stated that Brewer and his sons had been "scouting in the woods" for some time and they were tired of it, and wanted to get away. Brewer insists that the fact that he and his hid when the officers appeared was due to their fright, and that as soon as they recovered their wits, they surrendered. Brewer was formerly a preacher. Asked what the idea of the W.C.U. was in their present activities, Brewer replied that it was a part of a tremendous revolution, which was expected to spread rapidly and become nationwide. The extermination of the officers and all who refused to fall in with their plans was contemplated. The only end the leaders could see was the victorious over throw of the government. Resistance of the draft was only a part of their purpose, but was emphasized by the actual nearness of the actual drawing for army service. Brewer was very ill following his arrest, and was given medical attention at Konawa and upon reaching Shawnee. He showed little reticence in discussing the affairs of the W.C.U. Among the prominent members he named J.M. Danley, leader of Friendship local, Ben and Earl Potter and Frank Cook, all of the same local and Nate Harris, leader of Lone Dove local. SEVERAL SURRENDER Sunday Lee west came in from Francis with seven who had surrendered. There were Lee Hardesty, C.M. Potter, Sam Scroggin, Sam Hardesty, J.B. Potter, Earl Potter and H.B. Edwards. Deputy Garland Vincent brought in Jim Hammett, Jr., from Francis and W.C. Almond from Stonewall, where he was making a speech. This morning Mayor Dunn of Francis reported the surrender of others. Three of them Mark, Cephas and Noah Dover, were brought in and two others were coming on foot. The county jail being overcrowded several men are held in the city jail. Besides the above, Prof S.E. Kerr of Jesse is reported held in the jail at Coalgate in connection with the movement. Sheriff Duncan returned this afternoon from Coal County where he and Sheriff Phillips rounded up fifteen suspects. The members of the registers organization had mostly fled before the officers appeared and others left out when they saw them approaching. DETAILS BY UNITED PRESS Holdenville, OK August 6 - Reinforcements for armed posses scouring the country for anti-draft rioters hurried from here this morning to Spaulding, a point twelve miles southeast, where a posse is reported to have surrounded forty rioters. The death toll of the anti-draft rioting reached three, when J.F. Moose of Okemah was shot and killed Sunday night by a posse guarding the roads leading to Holdenville. Moose was killed when he failed to heed the warning of the possemen to halt, being riddled with buckshot rifle bullets. He was in an automobile and tried to escape. Ed Blalock was killed and two possemen injured when a band of thirty rioters were trapped in a school house southeast of here Sunday afternoon. Jack Paige, former marshal, was shot in the leg and Henry Johnson shot in the head. A special train took 56 arrested rioters from Holdenville to McAlester this morning. All jails of surrounding towns are filled. A total of 225 have been arrested in Seminole county since the outbreak started. Reports from Ada and Wewoka this morning state that everything is quiet. Posses are still scouring the country arresting all individuals in the groups of rioters. Many are giving themselves up to the authorities. SOCIALIST LEADER ARRESTED This afternoon W.H. Conley was brought in from Allen and placed in jail in connection with the anti-draft troubles. Conley is a prominent socialist, politician and was the nominee of the party against Tom McKeown a year ago. FROM WEDNESDAY'S DAILY No new developments in the anti-draft trouble have been reported today. It is stated that many are coming in to the various towns in the disturb district offering to tell all they know. It is reported that forty of fifty have come to Allen for this purpose. >From Shawnee it is reported that conditions in the south end of Pottawatomie county are not yet fully normal. Two men, one near Asher and the other not far from Wanette were warned that the W.C.U. was coming for them and they promptly left their homes and sought safety in town. A number of arrests have been made in the vicinity of Asher and the cities have organized a company of home guards. The arraignment of the men taken to McAlester was scheduled to begin Tuesday, but was carried over until today. The preliminary hearings will begin immediately afterwards. It has developed that the house burned Monday was not that of the Indian Barney Fixico who was arrested as a suspect a few days ago, but belonged to another of the same name.

Ada Weekly News August 9, 1917 A FALSE ALARM Sheriff Roach and some deputies of Ofuskee county arrived at Francis late in the afternoon. Some one phoned him from Sasakwa that the officers were in close quarters, being virtually surrounded by the mob and help was needed at once. He promptly called in the sheriff's office at Ada and repeated the message. That the organization affected in the afternoon was very much alive was demonstrated in a very few minutes. The news traveled with the speed of the wind and before an hour had lapsed 100 or more had left in autos which were freely given by their owners. Every man who could get a gun was eager to go and had the sheriff not come in when he did many more cars would have been on the road. However there was a feeling of intense relief when the sheriff made his appearance, although hundreds of Ada citizens would have risked their last drop of blood to rescue the party had they been needed. When the rumor of the surrounding of the officers reached Ada, Allen was called up and the response for aid was instantaneous, the rush of citizens being as ready as those from Ada. The same also occurred at Franks, a number of men leaving church and hurrying to Francis. SHOOTING AT STONEWALL It was reported from Stonewall late in the afternoon that trouble near Jesse was looked for during the night, as it was reported that a hundred or more of the secret anti-draft organization had assembled and were preparing to make a raid during the night. However, steps were taken promptly to forestall any outbreak. During the night Deputy Nehut of Stonewall and a posse, who were guarding a road southeast of that place in the edge of Coal county, encountered a band and the latter at once opened fire on the officers. Some thirty of the forty shots were exchanged but no casualties were reported. BRIDGE BURNED IN SEMINOLE That the raiders are still ready to do all damage possible when the danger of being caught is not too great, was evidenced by the burning of the Katy bridge on Salt Creek, between Konawa and Maud during the night necessitating detouring trains via the Frisco today. An attempt is also reported to burn the Katy bridge over the Canadian at Tyrola. NAMES OF CAPTURED MEN The following men composed the bunch of prisoners brought in by Sheriff Duncan: Joe Neely, Alfred Gooden, J. Hogue, A.L. Spangler, Bruce Clark, Luther Hogue, A.J. Polk, Neely Adams, Sam Spray, Alva Neely. All, except one are within draft age. It is reported that all contend that they were not members of the rebel band, but were forced in and taken prisoner. This afternoon Sheriff Duncan put them through a grilling, but the result is not known. SASAKWA THREATENED For the past few days threats had been heard against the town of Sasakwa, it being said that the anti-draft organization was going to raid and plunder the town. Little attention was paid to the threats at the time, but since the late disturbances the citizens are exercising all possible vigilance against any depredations and are prepared to give a warm reception to any attackers.

The Ada Weekly News Aug. 9, 1917 U.S. District Attorney in Deadly Earnest Against Leaders of Uprising EXCITEMENT SUBSIDES Believed Trouble is About Over But No Chances Will Be Taken Anarchy reared its head in the Southern part of Seminole county Thursday afternoon and night and part of that section is under control of mob of anti-draft men of various ages. The first outbreak came about 4 o'clock Thursday afternoon when Sheriff Grall of Seminole County and Deputy Cross of Sasakwa were waylaid east of Sasakwa and fired on. They had but one gun but with this they returned the fire. Some thirty-five shots were exchanged and the ambushers disappeared. The Sheriff thought this party was composed of negroes. The next move of the anti-drafters was to make a general roundup of the country, forcing every man they could find to accompany their party. It is reported that Grant Scroggins and the father and brother of W.T. Melton were among those taken. It is said that the raiders were at least 100 strong when last reported, but they declared they would have 3,000 men together in a short time. The Frisco bridge was the next object of attention, and they fired it in three places, doing damage that required until noon today to repair. It was reported that dynamite was also used, but men from Francis said if such was the case the damage was slight. The fires were started and to make more certain of their work they set fire to a handcar of building material and shoved it to the middle of the bridge. To conceal their movements they cut the wires both north and south of Francis and service was not restored until noon today. Word of the lawlessness was brought to Ada early this morning by two young men who escaped after being captured. Both were nearly worn out and footsore and also uneasy about being pursued by their captors. They gave the first warning of the bridge fire as they came through Francis. Just what has taken place today is unknown, but the rebellious army is supposed to be encamped near Friendship Church, four or five miles north of Francis. So far as known they have done nothing more than cut the wired in Pontotoc County. Evidently the leaders of this movement have been preparing for some time, for this morning when the news began to spread, many men went tot he various hardware stores only to find that every high power gun had been sold. However, there are quite a number of such guns in the community and a good sized squad could be armed. In Ada there has been no undue excitement, but on every hand there has been evidence a grim determination to back the officers in any and all emergencies. ALL JAILS TAXED WITH RIOTERS; SCOURING WOODS FOR SUSPECTS Several Casualties Result From Uprising; Activity Of The Officers Cause Scattering This afternoon at 1:30 a mass meeting was held at the court house and attended by several hundreds, many others being unable to get inside the court room. The object of the meeting was to organize to assist the officers and when the meeting was adjourned almost to a man signed up and many who have autos tendered their use any time they may be needed. J.W. Davis was elected chairman of the meeting and W.T. Melton secretary. The chair appointed the following resolutions committee: P.A. Norris, M.R. Chilcutt, Robert Wimbish, Sherwood Hill, J.E. Webb, B.C. King and L. Warr. The following were appointed as an executive committee: R. R. Cain, I. Hodge, Jim Adair, A. Kilpatrick, A.M. Gregg, Henry Lovelady, Paul Alderson, L.M. Hilton, Marshal Beck, A.D. Tanner, Robert Wimbish, P.A. Norris, J.M. Wintersmith and J.W. Davis The war in Seminole county ended in a complete fiasco Friday afternoon when Sheriff Bob Duncan of Pontotoc county and a posse of about twenty-five men charged their "fort" on a high rocky hill five miles north and one west of Sasakwa, capturing ten of the band of sixty to eighty-five who could not run as fast as the others. These ten were brought to Ada on the Frisco arriving at 9:30 and are now enjoying the hospitality of the county. All ten were white men although it is said that there were a number of Indians and negroes in the band. Mr. Duncan knew only one of the prisoners, Alex Polk of Frances and the names of others could not be learned last night, the Sheriff not having time to learn them. Sheriff Duncan and A.R. Sugg slipped out of town on the 12:30 train Friday and at Sasakwa were joined by Deputy Sheriff Fred Bowles and City Marshal Bill Taylor and two others from Konawa; a few from Sasakwa and most of the other of the sheriff's force were from Holdenville. They lost no time in locating the rendezvous and made straight for it. On arriving in the vicinity an old farmer who had been held prisoner by the mob for a time, begged the officers not to attempt to capture them, saying they numbered at least 500 and were heavily armed. Disregarding this advice the posse headed for the hill. They caught sight of the band when about 400 yards off and then for a few minutes lost sight of them as they went down into a ravine that crossed the pass. When they emerged from this the men who thought they were able to defy the entire United States were scattering in every direction and it was possible to take but ten of them. However, the officers released eleven white men who had been captured and held by the outlaws, the father and brother of W.T. Melton of Ada among them. The band had helped themselves to about a wagon load of roasting ears, had killed a beef which they stole, some were lying stretched out on bedding that they had brought along and seemed to be making a picnic of the affair. As had been anticipated, they were well armed and could have put up a nasty fight had their courage not failed them. A large crowd was on the streets and in and around the court house when the men were placed in jail here and as he ascended the stairs to his office, the nervy sheriff was given a rousing cheer by the crowd. However, he modestly declared that others deserved as much credit as he did in the matter.

Since I emailed the articles I had on the Green Corn Rebellion in Seminole and Pontatoc Co for a gentleman..I am sending them to the mail lists also in hopes of helping other researchers. There will be 4 emails concerning the articles. Good luck in your search! Kathy Stokes Hudson In the Chronicles of OK Vol 26: "Beyond the age limit for service in WWI, Norrell (Byron - retired editor and publisher of The Ada News) afterward wrote of this experience. 'The nearest to the smell of gunpowder that I got in any war was during the 'Green Corn Rebellion', in August 1917, when I shouldered a gun in a round of ammunition and went with a box car full of excited citizen-soldiers from Ada to Sasakwa, OK where Sheriff Bob Duncan and his deputies were quelling some 1000 or more IWW whites, Indians and Negroes who were camped in the Seminole hills and destroying bridges, telephone wires, pipe lines, etc., in an armed protest against the Draft Act in the first World War." The Ada Weekly News Aug 2, 1917: TO RESIST DRAFT LAW Organization Thought To Exist In Several Counties In OK That there is a wrong organization in Pontotoc, Seminole, Pottawatomie and perhaps other counties, the purpose of which is to resist the draft law, is the opinion of Pontotoc Count officials. Acting upon evidence collected by the office of Sheriff Bob Duncan and County Attorney A.L. Bullock the federal authorities today took into custody Sam Bingham, Geo. Norman, Ernest Johnson, Jim Hammett Sr., and a Mr. Wilson, all of Francis or near that place. These will probably be lodged in the federal jail at Holdenville or Muskogee. Sheriff Bob Duncan and Deputy U.S. Marshall Frank Whally made the arrests. The men charged with trying to incite young men in the draft age to resist the call to arms, urging the young men to defend themselves with weapons. A large meeting, it is said, was held Saturday night in a grove not far from Francis. and the attended was something like one hundred men and boys. Some of the boys refused to enter into the plans. The county officials know of many meetings that have been held in various parts of the county within the last few days, and are keeping an eye on all developments. They have a list of practically all those who have been attending the meetings. Arrests of dozens of these participants may be expected at any time. A meeting of the organization was to have been held in Seminole county Sunday night, but the News was unable to learn whether this meeting materialized or not. It is not the boys who are opposed to the draft measures, the officials declare. Three of the five men arrested today are more than sixty years old. The other two are more than forty years old. Just how many boys have consented to go into the organized resistance has not been learned. Some of the agitators, it is alleged believe the time has come to strike for a different form of government. They believe that all of those not contented with things as they are now will rise up in a common cause and overthrow the powers of the government. It is possible that this organization has spread to other counties. Mr Bullock thinks. Rumors of it have been reaching Ada for several days. Quietly the officers have been watching developments. Officials in other counties are doing the same. Arrests have been made in Pottawatomie county. Arrests in Seminole are looked for any time. One member of the organization who has not yet been arrested is said to have remarked that a few days would see some startling developments. The officers know who he is and is watching him.
