WANTS TO F0RECLosE,
Sult Of the Z armtrs Loan and Trust COMPANY
Against a Montana Cattle Company.

GREAT FALLS, Dec. 3.-[Special to the
Independent. IA case Of considerable in
terest to cattlemen came before Judge
Bach in the District Court to-day. The
Farmers Loan and Trust company, of New
York, sues to foreclose a mortgage given
to it as trustee for the bondholders Of the
North Montana Cattle company. The
suit is based on alleged breaches Of the
terms of the mortgage. The bonds issued
by the cattle company are $3.50, 600 in
amount, and are held by the above named
trust company. The breaches alleged are
failure to keep defendants herd up to
2 1000 head, as agreed, the failure to pay in.
terest III the bonds and the sale Of cattle
by which it is asserted the number was
diminished. The defendants demurredto
the complaint on the ground that
the suit was prematurely brought
claiming that no suit to fore.
close could be brought until twelve
months after interest on the bonds was due.
and that no default was made until Jan.
uary, 1888. The court ovelruled this de-
murrer, and the case went to trial to-day.
The plaintiffs called two witnesses and IL.
troduced the record as evidence. The de.
PENDANT moved for a non-sult on the ground
that no breach had been proved, holding
that all decrease in the herd resulted from
the severity'of the winter and aot from
sale. The defendants stand on the de-
muTrer and the motion for non-snit. judge

/ earnestly request the recommendations
contained in the secretary's report, all of
which are In my opinion calculated to in
crease the usefulness and discipline Of the
army, may receive the consideration of the
congress. Among these the proposal that
there should be provided a plan for the eX-
animation of officers to test their fitness
for promotion is OF the utmost Importance.
q suitable age, are sent to the Indian
schools at Carlisle and Hampton, ana last
summer some charitable and kind people
asked permission to send two teachers to
those Indians for the purpose Of instructing
the adults, as well as such children as
should be found there. Such permission
was readily given, accommodation being
provided for teachers, n some portion OF
the buildings at the barracks were made
available for the purpose. The good work
contemplated has been commenced, and
the teachers engaged are paid by the ladies
with whom the plan originated.
l am not at ali IN sympathy with those
benevolent, but injudicious people, who
are constantly insisting that these Indians
should be returned to the reservation.
Their removal was An absolute necessity.
If the lives and property Of citizens of the
1IOHtleE are I'd D6 at all FegarueQ ny Tic
government, their continued restraint at a
distance from the scene of their repeated
and cruel murders and outrages is still
necessary. 1t is mistaken philanthropy,
every way injurious, which prompts the
desire to see those savages returned to their
old haunts. They are in their present loca-
ton as the result of the best judgment Of
those having official responsibility in the
matter, and who are by no means lacking
in kind consideration for the Indians. A
number of these prisoners have forfeited
their lives to outraged law and humanity.
Experience has proved they are dangerous
and cannot be trusted. This is true not
only of those on the warpath, who have
heretofore actually been guilty OF atrocious
murders, but Of their kindred and
friends who, while they remained upon
their reservation. furnished aid and COM
fort to those absent with bloody intent.
These prisoners should be treated kindly
and kept in restraint lar from the locality
OF their former reservation; they should be
subjected to Efforts calculated to lead to
their improvement and to the sOftening IT
their savage and cruel instincts; but their
return to their old home should be persis-
tently rejected. The secretary in his re-
