HELENA, Mont, June 1.-Reports Of
the killing of several men by the Chey-

not verified. 1t is not believed that
anyone was killed except a sheep
herder named Hoover, whose murder a

settlers and cowboys determined to
avenge his death and give the
Cheyennes- an object lesson to
deter them from similar acts
in the future. They sent all the
women and children to places Of
safety, armed themselves and congre-
gated near the agency and demanded
the surrender of the Indians accused
of numbering Hoover. The Indians
armed themselves and made threaten

sacre begun, so far as is known. Six
companies of United States troops are
at the agency. The Indians declare
that they do not want to fight the sol
diers, but are anxious to have brush

Topeka, Kan, June 2.-The Metro
politsn Life Insurance Co, of New
York, has begun suit in the federal
court against State Insurance Commits
sioner AlcNal to restrain him from re-
Yoking the license Of that company or
in any other way interfering with its
business in Kansas. Judge Foster inn
mediately issued two restraining or
ders in the case, one restraining Nc
Nall from in any way interfering with
the company or its agents in the trans
action OF business in Kansas; the other
restraining him from enforcing his or
der reyoking the license Of the Metro
poiitan to do business in Kansas.
MeNali says he will ignore Judge
Fosters order. He says a federal
judge has no more right to enjoin over
him than 10 enjoin over the governor,
and as the state was backing him in
the fight, he would make it warm for
any agent Of the Metropolitan company
who undertook to do business in the
state. In case McNall is arrested for
contempt, he will apply to the United
States supreme court for writ Of
habeas corpus.
