THE FIRST DIVORCE CASE.
The first divorce in Greer scarcely rose to
the dignity of scandal" wouldn't have
excited comment, in fact, if the injured hus-
band had not violated all southwestern pre-
cedents by appealing to the law instead of
revolver. Sheriff w. T. Williamson proved
that his wife Sallie and his deputy, James s.
Ellison, had been very improper. He got
divorce and the custody of his daughter, but
could not bear the odium created by his fail
ure to shoot and left the country. Ellison at
once married the woman, and is now acting

made Two distinct efforts to raise his weapon,
but death had grasped him, and he died
standing up, pistol in hand.
The shooting was done in front of Currys
store. Jack showed his pistol in his belt and
walked down street es far as the White
House. There bullet from Buck lannon's
pistol overlook him. Buck had determined to
avenge the death of his friend, and shot Jack
dead Then Buck got on his pony and rode
away into the night. The gloom in which he
disappeared, they say, still surrounds him
No one knows where he is.
Next day they buried the two dead men in
a little plot laid out for cemetery. There
was no preacher in town, but the citizens
gathered about the grave and stood with I'M
covered heads while the bodies were lowered
into it. There were at least prayers for the
souls of the dead if no other Christian service
was held.
THE FIRST "oFFICIAL SCANDAL"
In 1886 they organized a county Cof Texas,
elected full set of officials, issued bonds and
built 81, 100 court house, with jail upstairs.
MesSrs Strain 6 Swinburn, builders, surren-
dered their bonds for land which they could
convert into cash at nearly twice what they
took it at, and on Aug. s, 1883, a "Pan-
handle zephyr" blew all one side of the court
house outl 1t was then discovered that, what
were supposed to be brick in the walls, were
really adobes of poor sort made of red
earth. This is set down as the first "official
scandal, and it's bad one. The construc-
ton of the first school house was, however,
an honest job, and in it good school is now
taught with some fifty pupils. There are no
churches in Greer, but several school houses
which are used as such.
SCANDAL NO. 2.
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1889-04-05

1t is called "Greer county, Texas" but a
strict construction of law would make it a
part of the unassigned lands of the Indian
territory and therefore of the proposed terri
tory of Oklahoma.
The first settler was II. G. Sweet, April IS,
1884, and now the county contains 1000
people.
The first death was the murder of a cow
boy named Bryson.
The first funeral was that of two men who
were killed in a fight about woman.
The first marriage was that of Miss Lucy
Sweet and the man she ran off with; he was ar
rested two weeks later for bigamy and taken
to the Chickasaw nation, where he made
up with his first wife and was not prose-
s;uted, SO Miss Sweet is Miss Sweet still. And
finally, nearly all the population live in

have abundance of society" and lots of fun,

HOW THE DISPUTE AROSE.
The disputed claim arose out of the peculiar
wording of the treaties defining Texas On
the 22d of February, 1919, John Quincy
Adams and Senior De Onis completed the
treaty between the United States and Spain,
in which they stipulated that the boundaries

miles west OF the fork. Now, therefore,
should the boundary follow up north fork to
the meridian, and leave Greer in Texas?
For the affirmative, Texas; for the negative,
all the United States officials who have yet
spoken. And at the low price offered by
cattle men, the land is worth $3,000,OCO.
BOTH SIDES OF THE CASE.
All United States surveyors have decided
that the south, or Prairie Dog, fork is the
true Red river, and Melish's map shows the
same; so, as Adams and De Onis made that
map the basis Of their treaty, it seems to fol-
lev that Texas is left. But during all the
years the matter was in evolution Texas had
congressman on the watch at Washington
and the Indians had not, so in 1860 Texas was
4 little ahead as to locating the boundary to
the north. Soon after, however, Texas
1oined ten other states in an attempt to move
the whole southern boundary of the United
States a good deal further north, and Greer
was forgotten till 1877, when the United
States officers in the Indian territory wanted
to know the limits of their jurisdiction. Then
Gen. J. A. Williamson, land commissioner,
made an exhaustive review of the case, show
ing that Greer was part of the Indian ter
ritory. And pretty soon after Texas began
TO set aside sections there for school lands,
and finally granted the tract for the location
of the Texas land scrip held by her veterans
of 1886. Then a settlement was begun.
Col. John NJ Swisher, with his own scrip
and that of sixty-eight other veterans, To-
Gated 40 square miles, each being entitled to
two square miles; and April IS, 1884, Mr.. H.
c. Sweet, a hardy Texan, set up his house

place MRngum, after Texas hero His
nearest neighbor was at Doan's postof1ce,
forty-five miles away; the nearest settlement,
Mobeetie, ninety miles away, and the nearest
railroad depot, Wichita Falls, 1O5miles away.

ed for the former lessee, Mr.. Rische,

Rische during his incumbency. The
tickets are the same colors as are used
by Mr.. Mullaly and the printing is
the same, except the name of the man
ager. Mr.. Mullaly secured great
number of these tickets last night

them at the opera house, and thinks
he can secure more. He will make it
