! sorted, and the few inhabitants left aie
unable to get aw’ay. A year ago these ’
people passed a Winter almost without
‘ coal, there hiving been a fuel famine
i from the beginning of cold weather till ,
I Spring. Already the fearful blizzards

crops this year, and have been compelled
i to leave their homes from the tear of
starvation.
SHUT DOWN.
At a meeting of the river coal opera

crutors say the shut down w ill be for two
months al least. They ciaim they cannot

A SMALL WAR.
When the recent election in the
Chickasaw Nation was held, Governor
I Guy was elected on the face of the re
' turns, but William Byrd, his opponent,
who was in control at the capital, threw
out enough votes to secure a small ma
jority, and the Speaker of the House
swore in Byrd. Byrd called the legisla
ture together and put the capitol build
ing under guard. Guy, with fifty fol
i lowers, inarched into Tishomingo and
took possession. He called his legisla
ture and was sworn in. Then he went
to Washington, laid the facts befcre the
interior department and was recognized
as governor and told to call on the
| United States troops for assistance if ne-
I cessary. Each has a force of about 200
men, and the excitement is intense.
I Guy’s life has been attempted several
times, but he still travels alone, refusing
to incur the expense of a body guard.
He is waiting now for the time given
Byrd’s men to expire, when, he declares, •
j he will kill or capture all who resist or
I die himself.
BANDIT KILLED.

was killed near Claramore, in the Che

! riding away, were called upon to halt.

tion is most favorable to the spread of
the disease, the land being generally low,
and, to a great extent, marshy and wet,
