A Stubborn Sheriff Who Refused 20 Obey
His Orders.
A Fort Smith, Ark, correspondent
writes: There is a contest now going
on In the ChOCtaw nation, about ten
miles from this city, which is becoming
unusually interesting, and may vet lead
to serious trouble. lit appears that Mai.
John De Gan, a white man, rented
farm from a citizen of the ChOctaw ma

proved the place generally, at his own
expense. with the understanding that he
was to be allowed TO hive there as long
as he complied with the laws OF the ma
ton, and was to be paid for all improve
ments he made. As soon as the place
had been thoroughly fixed up the owners
ordered him to vacate. This was one
year or more ago. He refused to COM
ply with the demand, but said he would
do so If he was paid for the improvements.
The matter was left to a board of arbitra-
ton, who fixed the amount due DeGan
at 1925. The party failed to comply
with the terms Of the arbitration. and De
Gan held possession. On the 14th OF
January he was served with a notice
from the sheriff of ScuIlyville county
warning him to vacate within ten days
Ocean applied to the commissioner of
Indian affairs for relief and profession.
and received a telegram ordering the
sheriff to not modest him or his property

On the tenth day the sheriff went to De

in defiance of the orders of the com
missioner, proceeded to put his family
out of the house. and moved all of the
household goods out into the road, not
withstanding it was a cold, rainy day.
Mr.. Ocean Immediately came to this
city and telegraphed to the commission

the sheriff why he did not cOmplp with
his orders. This was also treated with
contempt. The case was then laid be
fore the secretary of the interior, who
telegraphed the sheriff to leave Ocean
and his property unmOlested or he would
be punished for noncompliance. The
sheriff still refuses to let up, and remains

Farming In Chill.

Chill is of sufficient importance as a
source Of wheat supply, says the Stand
ard, of London, to be enumerated sepa-
ratelY In our official returns Of imports,
In 1884 we received $751; quarters Of
wheat from Chill, and In 1885 the guam
THY was 246, 392 quarters. Very little
advance, however, appears to have been
made lately in Gillian agriculture. There
are a few model farms in Chill, belonging
to wealthy proprietOrs; but as a rule,
everything connected with farming is
very backward. The Gillian farmer still
plows with a pointed piece of wood,
sometimes shOd with iron, and his harrow
is a bundle Of bushes. Reaping Is done
by hand, and threshing by driving horses
over the corn. The yield of wheat aver
ages only four bushels to the acre and
there Is 4 per cent of dirt In the grain.
The total annual produce Of wheat is
about 2,25OO00 quarters. The area of
land under tillage, was about 100000
acres in 1880, and it appears to be about
the same now. The average value of all
crops Is set at only 50 per acre, a very
poor result. Vine growing is probably
the most successful branch of Gillian
agriculture. Vineyards occupy about
100000 acres, and the average prOduc-
ton Of wine Is some 100000 gallons,
of superior quality to that produced on
the other side of the Andes, In the Ar
gentine republic. Tobacco Is also ex-
tensively cultivated for home consumP-
ton The number Of live stock, com
prising cattle, sheep, and horses, is be
heVed to be under 100000 altogether.

Syracuse Journal: Something near
a week ago as John Drake and Chas.
Workman were engaged in digging well
at Horace, in Greeley county a dog came
to them in starved and famished con
dition. They recognized the animal as
one belonging to the Rogers boys, and
after feeding him they made preparations
and started out to hunt up the men. After
a constant search for a period of eight
days, they found the wagon loaded with
lumber, and a cook stove, and still prose
cutting the search they came upon the
dead body of the oldest brother, three
quarters ola mile away from his house,
and a half mile nearer, that Of the young
er. Both men were frozen to the ground
and their bodies had to be pried up with
a spade. By the side Of the younger
man a blanket was spread, on which the
dog had made his bed for twelve days,
and only deserted his master when driven
by the pangs of hunger. 1t would seem
from all the facts that we can gather that
these men might have saved themselves
if they had exercised their judgment,
and gone into camp earlier IN the day.
As It was they had taken the stove from
the wagon and built fire from a portion
of the lumber. The fingers Of tie elder
and the hands and nose Of the younger
were badly burned, how it came about

sixty have already joined with the church.
