Big Sky Montana Curtis Hawk

Montana Mine produced Copper, Silver, Gold, Ore and Politics. When the Sinclair attempted to harass Houston by legal process, he countered by instituting a score of suits against the company within the week. These had to do with wills, insanity cases, extra lateral rights, mine titles, and land and water rights. Wherever Houston saw room for an entering wedge to dispute the title of the Sinclair, he drove a new suit home. To say the least, the trust found it annoying to be enjoined from working its mines, to be cited for contempt before judges employed in the interests of its opponent, to be served with restraining orders when clearly within its rights. However, when these adverse legal decisions began to affect vital issues, the Sinclair looked for reasons why Houston should control the courts. It found them in politics.
