IT is reported that bloody results may be
expected from the army Of twenty-five
Texas cow boys whom Halvell & Denny
have employed near Caloosa, in the Creek
Nation. This cattle farm is held near the
Creek line, and the cattle are mostly grazed
in that section, and it is to prevent
the Creek officers from collecting grazing
tax that the herders are armed. About
two months ago the Creek Commissioner
had impounded 5000 cattle, intending TO
hold them until the tax was paid, and
while holding them with a few herders,
Denny with a large force made a charge
and drove the cattle of. Now the Creek |
officers are holding 400 Of these cattle under
strong guard, and instead of paying the
lawful tax the owners have armed their |
men and propose to take forcible possession |
of their stock, and the attempt to do this it |
is said will result In a fight.
