ance by him of kuch a trust. This action is expressly authorized by sec-
tion 12, which is: . ... .1
"That all things necessary to carry into effect the provisions of this act not
otherwise herein specifically provided for shall be done under the authority
and direction of the Secretary of the Interior."
[7] There remains' for 'our consideratiori the determination of the
trial court that the government was without authority to maintain
an injunction to restrain the La Mottes from leasing or grazing land
leased by the allottee to H. G. Ezell. The facts are that Ezell is the
valid lessee under the approval of the Secretary; that he has paid the
full consideration therein required to the allottee; that the La Mottes
have not attempted to lease such premises; that their lessees of other
adjacent lands owned or controlled by them permit cattle to pass on
and graze the unfenced leasehold held by Ezell.' Such trespass does
not injure the freehold noi' affect the allottee lessor. The wrong is to
Ezell alone and he has a legal remedy and he alone. The government
is not concerned in and has no authority' to protect such interest of
Ezell.
There is a clear ground of equitable interference'by the govern-
ment stated in the bill in that leases made contrary to.the statute cast
clouds upon the title which the government holds in trust for the
Indians.
The order is that the decree be modified in accordance with the terms
of this opinion, and, as thus modified, affirmed. The costs in the court
below to be assessed against the La Mottes.
