The funeral was one of the largest ever witnessed in Muldrow. W.

A very interesting account of his life was published "Wednesday in the Times of Fort Smith, from which we take the following "The hero of this sketch was born in 1840 and was" second of a family of His father, Malachi Watts, a Georgian and was born in 1790.

In 1820 he moved with his family to Tennessee where Jeff was born. It was in 1371, moved by the reports that came from the Indian Nation where all Indians were receiving homes and lands, that JefE embark time. Charges and counter charges were made by the opposing factions and the matter was taken through the territory courts and then to the department at Washington. As long as Chief Justice Vann lived the Watts family maintained their rights, but his death marked the turning point in their contention. At different 'times the territory sheriffs were ordered to' evict the from the boundaries of the nation, but they were met with armed resistance and a demand that they produee proofs from the inter- ior department of the invalidity of their claims.
