The memorial, as framed by their

that attempt will be made to oust
them from their leases before con-

means of relief, the farmers are
subscribing funds for the purpose
of employing legal talent in their
defense. A fund of $105 was rails
ed last night, and other amounts
will be deposited from time to time.
The farmers say they have built
their churches and schools here,
have dug the stumps and trees
from their farms, built comforta-

leave them until every effort to
