Sheriff Tandy Walker of Pontotoc Territory
Tandy Walker rose from stock rider to sheriff by gubernatorial appointment amid a rough Chickasaw Nation frontier. He patrolled a thinly settled area where crime drew in U.S. marshals from Fort Smith. Chickasaws enforced strict laws with penalties like lashes or hanging, and schooling funded families to keep children near neighborhoods. Walker notes strong community respect and law ahead of gunplay.

Heavy Grazing Risks Total Loss Says Prof
A national survey by Dr. Jack Harlan of Oklahoma State University and USDA range scientists finds heavy grazing may raise short term beef yield but risks long term total loss for a ranch. Light grazing under many conditions may fail to pay without supplemental income, while optimum grazing load varies by region and grass quality. In Texas, cattle grazing with sheep boosted gains by up to 30 pounds per head during grazing season, possibly due to vegetation conditioning.
