drove from the soil Of the Slate, the OF.
ficers oi the de taeto government, estab-
fishing the McEaery as a de tdctO as well
as de jure government under the strict
letter OF the law Kellogg could
not call upon the United States 10 inter-
fere. he and his government being out Of
the State and unable at the time Of his
