The decision was against Sharon, who died a
few months after it was rendered, and who, in
order to prevent Sarah Althea from obtaining
any Of his property, had decided it in trust to
his son and son-in-law for his grandchildren.
Suit was brought to break the transfer and de-

THEY OUTNUMBER THE INDIANS AND THE LATTER
FEAR TO GIVE THEM THE BALLOT.
LITTLE Rock, ARK, Dec. 17.-An Indian ter
ritory special says: The Chickasaw legislature,
which is expected to convene in special session
shortly and confirm the election of William
Guy as governor, will probably enact some
kind of legislation fixing the status of the ne
groes in the Chickasaw nation. The Chicka-
saws alone of all the five civilized tribes have
denied the right of citizenship to freedmen
living in their country. Recently the question
has been raised whether, under the constitu-
ton Of the United States the negroes could be
deprived of rights guaranteed by that in
strument and there is probability of bill
being passed by the legislature comforting
suffrage upon them. Many Chickasaws favored
colonizing the negroes in Oklahoma, paying
them for their property and other rights
acquired as adopted citizens of the Chickasaw
nation. The negroes outnumber the Chicka-
saws, and the latter fear that giving them the
right to vote will be attended with dangerous
cOnsenuences
