decision was based upon the fact that there
was no United States law or treaty sipula-
lions setting apart reservation in the
Indian Territory for those Indians, nor
for removing them thereto, or keeping them
thereon, and that they could not, therefore
be removed there by force. It is not claimed

might not be made which would justify q re-
sort to force. It was not claimed that the
decision would apply to those Indian tribes
having reservations to which their treaties re.
quire them to remove and remain thereon.
