Jan. 11—An extraordinary con teat has started in this city, with all the daily papers on one side and 14 of the largest drygoods and olotbing de partment stores on the other.

T., says: Trains on the Choctaw branch of the “Frieco’’ railroad have brought to this eity every woman and ohiid from Earls- boro, some 200 people, near the border of the 8emiuo!e nation. The burning at the stake of MeGeiaey aud Simpson, the Seminole balfbreeds, has so enraged the Semiiioles that they have banded together and are riding over the oooif- try araattd Maud ana Wewoka in wild rags, killing the slock. A party of about 200 savages, balf breeds aud other toughs rods into neighborhood 18 miles sonlhoaat of Earlaboro und began shooting through the door, aud window, of the lionae of a man who had recently come In from Obia Every persnu iu the house la re ported to be killed. Tbe people who canie in on the train from Earlaboro say that about 10 o’clock Taewiej a regular pitched battle oc curred and that three families were killed. There is a general uprising. Messengers have been sent to tbe mil itary statbiu demanding immediate aid and protection. Tho people at Mnnd have engaged wagons to take children aud women ont of tbe conn try'under armed horse men. No names of the killed oould be learned. The train officials say there it serious trouble and some whites ha- been killed, bnt tbe stories of the people leaving are probably exaggerated. Suppressed excitement prevails over tbe meager report* from th* Indiau Territory of the uprising of the Semi nole* Nothing more definite than the statement that 160 reds had started ou tbe warpath from Karl.boro; that they were killing ail the whites they met. and that the whites were alarmed and harrying tbeir families on: of tue couu- try bae beeu received. Although many stories, which were not borne uot by the facet, had previ ously been circnlatod from the terri tory, so persistent have been the rumors that ths Seminole* would avenge the burning of two of their number that confirmed reports are awaited with fear and dread. Indian Territory is settled principally by whites from this pert of tbe south west, and tbs aoxiaty of their friends and relatives here may easily be im agined. Information received here from Okla homa City is td Che effect that 100 armed citizens have started from that place for Earlaboro bn a special train to head off tbe Semlndles and prevent a repeti tion of tbe Mand postoffice massacre.
