VIII Fight for Swamp.

Governor Chamberlain is in receipt
Of a letter from the general land Of.
fee at Washington, D. c., conveying
the information that the states claim
to 92,37S.09 acres of swamp land, ly.
ing within the boundaries OF the
klamath Indian reservation, has been
rejected. This land was claimed by
the state under the last adminiStra.
ton, and was rejected because the
lands were held to be subject to al.
Iotment TO the klamath Indians. The
information was at once laid before
the state land board, and it was de.
termined to appeal from the decision
of the general land office to the sec
rotary Of the interior. and Attorney.
General Crawford was instructed to
take the appeal. The appeal will be
taken on the ground that the swamp
land grant Of 1860 takes precedence
Of the Indian allotment. The state
has so days within which to perfect

The 0beah Man Who Terror

Of Immense Power

The French islands have two 81
perstitions which are not to be found
in some others Of the West Indies
These are a belief in a sort Of we're

blood OF wayfarers, upon whom II

in what is known In the British is
lands as the rolling calf" a mon
ster with blazing eyes, which prowls
at night, clanking a chain suspended
from It's neck. and at whose touch
men die. The following description
is given Of the typical obeah man:
There is something so indescrib-
ably sinister about an obeah mans
appearance that he can always be
picked out by one who has had much
to do with his class. Dirty, ragged,
unkempt, deformed. there is yet
about him an air Of cunning authori-
ty. His small, piercing eyes peer
viclously at the witnesses arrayed
agains. him in court, for all the world
like those OF a cornered rat. Black
men may be seen to turn as gray as
ashes under the terror OF that bale

difficulty that discriminating evidence
can be dragged out OF them. The
wizards awesome presence, however,
does not appall an unsentimental
British judge. He orders him 10
months hard" and a sound logging.
Frequently the obeah man appeals
against his sentence to the higher
court, and in Jamaica II is not at all
unusual for him to get OF on some
technical point, owing to the defec-
tive drafting Of the law. OF course.
he tells the ignorant negroes that he
procured freedom by his magical
powers, and thus their superstition
is strengthened"
British law Furnishes obeah with
iogging and Imprisonment. Never
theless. obeah is practiced by the
white planters almost as a matter Of
necessity in order to brighten the ne
grocs and prevent them from appro-
priating the produce OF the planta,
