Members of u Thieying Tribe Dis.
turbing Industrious Settlers.

ago this State was yeritably overrun by
Canadian Creek Indians most indolent,
lazy and dirty tribe. They would not work

their nefarious operations that Governor

menI at Washington 10 cause their removal
to Canada, which was later accomplished.
Since then they have been returning in
twos and threes until nearly the whole tribe
is in Montana again engaged in their former

game out OF season, as well as cattle and
sheep, and it is highly probable that the
settlers will take the law into their own
hands and drive them back across tha
border il the Government does not remove
them soon. One Tancher who essayed to
drive away some Indians who were butch
ering one of his steers, was turned upon by
them and forced TO fee 1t is reported also
that they have made great inroads upon
numerous sheep herds in many portions of
Northern Montana. They killed seventy
five antelope in one section and seemed TO
gloat over the feat There is no danger OF
an Indian uprising, as the Creeks are no.

case OF Burlsey VS.. The Pasteur Company
The Pastuer company sued Burkey on an
account; Burkey reconvenod for damages
alleging the violation OF certain contract
giving him the exclusive right to sell tne
Pasieur vaccine In Texas. He claimed tnat
the contract. which on its face had ex,
PRED, had by mutual consent been renew
ed. In accordance with provision OF the
contract.
The interesting point In the decision OF
the court OF appeals Is that, while neither
party raised the point that the contract
was in violation OF the antitrust statute
of Texas on account Of its exclusive Tea
ture, the appellate court takes judicial cog
nizance OF its illcgality. Il holds that Bur
key can not claim damages for violation OF
the contract because the contract was lille
gal, and II the contract was in force at the
time the account accrued, the Pasteur
company can not recover, for the sams
reason. The cause is remauded to inquire
into the status Of the contract.
