LITTLE Rock, Ark, April 12.-From U.
S. Marshal who has just returned from Chicka-

at Fort Smith in the q. s.. Court, we learn
that serious trouble is brewing in that country
between the Indians and stock raisers Gov.
Hernie during his administration permitted
white people to bring cattle into and raise
them in the Nation, charging 123 cents head
per year, and, as consequence, the number
of heavy stock raisers now in the Nation is
very large. Since Gov. Overton assumed Of
fee he has ordered all these cattle removed
from the country. The order is mandatory.
The stock-men have offered $4,000 for the
purpose of keeping their cattle there till June
LIST; but the government demanded $4,000.
This sum the Texans refuse to pay, and, with
Others are preparing to resist removal. They
are said to have 100 men armed for protection
against arrest. Gov. Overton has tried to get
the U. S. troops to assist him driving out the
cattle men, but failing in this he has organized
the militia and ordered them into camp to car
ry out his orders. A collision is imminent.
