Kendall, Montana, November 18, 1902. 5. o[gisioN IN MINING cilsE ued the well known authority on the North American Indian, \ a renegade band of natives who have made no treaty with either Britain or this coun- try. \These Indians have always been wanderers. From the earliest days of the white man in the west, they were regarded as such. They made forays in those days on other tribes and on the American. Like the Ish- maelite of old, their hand was against every man and every man's hand was :tom. \And so they got this habit of trav- eling whither they would; of living journeyed; and of owing allegiance to no man. Today they are like Sit- ting Bull when he went into the coun- try of the Great White Mother. They are in a land where they are not wanted. \Old Sitting Bull stayed in Canada until he and his followers well nigh starved because of lack of rations and of poor hunting. They came back and submitted to American conditions. Today the Cree in Canada prowls about without any government rations except as he can steal them in the guise of some agency Indian. \When tired of Canadian inhospi- tality, he crosses the border and tries the trick in Montana. He is a nuis- ance, one of the consequences of the crowding out of the red man. The day will come when he will be no more, and it looks as though he would be until that time, a constant vexation to his brethren of his own color and to his pale face cousin. \Is it true that some of toe North- western Indians are on the increase instead of on the decrease? It is. The Sioux of South Dakota are especially To Recover Money from Smelting Company The Enterprise Failed — Court's Ruling Wi I Interest Mining Investors. A decision, if sustained, th-, may be of interest to many mining investors. was made in Butte a few days ago by Judge Clancy in a suit of George H. Cotter against the Butte & Ruby Val- ley Smelting company. It is an ac- tion to recover $6,000 which Attorney John W. Cotter paid into the company several years ago for 10,000 shares of stock, tor which he had subscribed but which was not issued. The smelt- ing company was organized by Wil- liam Owsley, Charles Schatzlein, J. A. Murray and Mr. Cotter for the pur- pose of building a smelter at Twin Bridges to treat the oie Of one of the Mayflower mines owned by Owsley and others. The mine did not pan out great and the smelter was de- fective, and flriLlly the plant and some bullion was attache° by the First bia- tional Bank for about $10,000. Mr. Cotter assigned his claim to the money he paid into the plaintiff in the suit, George H. Cotter, and the action was brought to recover the money with interest. The defendants, represented by At- torney W. E. Carroll, set up the de- fense that the money was paid on a contract by Mr. Cotter and was credited - on the 10,000 shares of atock for which he haa subscribed, and , that so far as he was concerned the trans- action was closed and his right to the money had pasaed. The plaintiff, represented by Geo. Shelton, Maintained t..at under numerous authorities and corporation cases of a similar nature, the stock subscriber was entitled to the return of his money if it appeared that the stock was not issued and that no ten- der of it had ever been made to him, or if it had appeared that the stock had not all been sold. Mr. Shelton ar- gued that HO far as any 'act of the corporation went there never was any acceptance of the money paid by Mr. Cotter, as it never indicated that it was willing or ready to aeliver the stock. Judge Clancy accepted Mr. Shelton'g view of the case and sustained a de- murrer to the affirmative defense set up in the defendant's answer. He ruled that it would be necessary for the defendants to show and to so plead that all the stock had been sold and that the stock subscribed tor oy Mr. Cotter had been delivered or ten- dered before the suit Was brought. Mr. Carroll was given ten days in which to make an amendment to Ilia answer. There are numerous instances of the same kind in mining promotions, and the decision may interest many investors. CREES HAVE NO HOME. Are Wand Over the West Itelong to Neither Canada Nor I'. R. \The Crees who are giving so much trouble to the people of Montana, are the wards of neither the Canadian or the American government,\ said Dr. 0. V. McGillicpddy of the Mutual Life, on being interviewed in Helena a few days ago. \They are,\ conttn- healthful. The department of the in- terior is now pursuing a very wise course toward these and other agency Indians. The day when a healthy buck can draw rations and live at ease Is gone. 'fhe strong men find that they must work to live. And they have come to work. \You can find them in Dakota work- ing on the railroad. They make their own livings. They build houses and are no longer so exposed to the weath- er as they once were. And they have plenty of land to till. So tney are not being decimated by u.sease. As they come to support themselves they becomes _more_ progressiye. think_ the present policy of the department of the interior toward the Indians is' excellent, and it is bearing good re- sults.\ Judith Basin Bank Lewistown, Mont.
