FIGHTING OVER LESLIE McuNE.

More Complications in the Case of the
Frequently kidnapped Child.
IRoNTeN, O.. March 26.-The Hon, Is. v.
Dean, guardian of Leslie McCune, has
employed counsel and will bring suit
through his attorneys, the Hon. FL. S..
Neal, J.. McGillevray, and others, against
the Cincinnati Commercial-Gazett for
$4,000 damages for the publication of q
letter written by Mrs. Libbie Cullerton-
McCune, in which heis charged with
being a periurer, thief, etc. He viii also
bring suit against the New York TeIe-
gram and other papersin which the letter
was published. Nicholas Mcmahon, the
cabman, and Mrs. Margaret Schraper,
who aided Mrs. McCune in the abduction
of Leslie McCune from school here, were
arrested here and bound over to the
court in the sum of So, 600 each.
Little Leslie McCune, the innocent
cause of all this trouble, is here in the
charge of her guardian and her grand
mother, and is as happy as a Gagged bird
set free again.
The case has now assumed such a phase
that the Hon. e. N. Dean, the guardian,
will stubbornly fight every point to re-
tain possession of the child, and he claims
that he is amply able to show good cause
why Mrs. McCune should not have her
child.

The Rock Islands Answer.

The answer OF the Rock Island COM
pany to the Burlington's petition, ask
ing that the former company be som
PEELED 20 handle 20" cars, was filed in
Judge Gresham'B court yesterday, and
ID 10 q very interesting document. IL
Coca back of the present strike, and
charges the Burlington company with
inauguratiDg the rate war for the pur-
pose OF compelling the western road TO
place exclusive and absolute control
OF all rates in the hands of q trust to be
controlled by three commissioners, who
should also have power to pay compen-
sation to lines for losses sustained be-
cause OF ary rates fixed by the trust;
that the Burlington permitted" the
strike now in progress because it
would demoralizs business, re-
duce revenues and help to
bring about conditions which would
aiG its trust scheme: that it
was the purpose OF the Burlington Shy
bringing about the strike" on ats own
line fret. to absorb all OF the engineers
and firemen who were not members of
the brotherhood. and thereby render it
impossible for it's competitors to man
their roads; that the demand foran inter
change OF traffic wa not made in good
faith. but for the express purpose of
bringing about o strike on the other
roads, well knowing that the places OF
the strikers conld not be supplied, etc
Decidedly. this is interesting, and there
is not much question that belief in this
state OF the case had more to do with
curing the attacks OF 90" collie among
the engineers and firemen OF connecting
lines than anything else. The testimony
OF the Rock Island in support Of Its
answer will be awaited with q good deal
of interest.

BILE to find work at his trade, was brought

been having lots Of fun with Dakota,
making merry at the bi,zzsrds and get.
ting off Jokes about the climate, until q

without some aliusion to western cold
weather. Since the late big snowstorm
we have had fully enough to attend to

west. This winter seems to have evened

try. One place may have had the advan-
tsge for q time, but ample compensation
made later on. Dakota papers can
now return the compliment, and we

ANOTHER STANDARD OIL SCHEME.
Rumors that the Hail Patents viii Be
Purchased Soon.

Rumors that the Hall Patents viii BE
Purchased Soon.
ToLEDo, o., March 26,-Rumors are
afioat to the effect that the oil men, who
have been in continuous secret session in
this city, are really Standard company
people in disguise, and that the meeting
was in reality a gathering for the purpose
of effecting a purchase by the Standard
company of the Hall process patents on
the new method of refining Ohio oil,
making it equal to Pennsylvania oil.
This is followed by the report that the
Standard is nov ready to drop all interest
in Pennsylvania oil for the Ohio oil. BY
doing this, in case the Hall process pat
ents can accomplish all that is claimed,
it is estimated that the Standard com
pany will make at, least $40, 600, 900 out of
their Oil. They have been purchasing
millions of barrels of oil, and have acres
of tanks at Cygnet and Lima. If the
Standard purchases the Hall process pat
ents, and drops the Pennsylvania field,
many of the. operators in the eastern
fields will be badly pinched. The build
ing of the Chicago pipe line is said to be
only another step in this direction. Their
every movement indicates that they are
ready to enter Ohio fields in good earnest.
In the black swamp of Wood county are
immense fields of oil practically I'M
touched. IL this immense production
can be cornered and controlled by the
Standard company, the oil business of
the future is forever placed in the hands
of that company.

Washington for answer. In his letter to
Collector Calhoun. Mr.. Cor win said:
The boys here are fitting up q club
and the system is fof each member TO
contribute 81, So or So at q time, pool
the money and order beer, etc. The
steward issues to each member a ticket,
for the amount he has paid for exactly
the Wholesale price, and q be had by
the holder of the ticket as long as his
contribution holds ont. The question
is. is such O club liable to the tax OF q
regular retail liquor deeler?"
The department at Washington
answered Revenue Collector Oslhoun in
the following words yesterday:
"There is, in this case, no division of
the common property. There is no eet-
ting apart to each member Of the entire
quantity of beer. whisky, etc., BELONG
ing to him but all the liquors are kept
undivided by the club and dealt ous by 1T

ties delivered are charged to HIS account,
Until these charges exhaust the sum OF

to the general fnnd OF Che club. 1t is
doing in way precisely what was
done in another way by the club of
Julius Wittie (22d internal revenue re-
cord, page 28), in whose case it was held
by the conrt that the club sold beer to

Our Barefoot Bows.

Mr.. Matthew Arnold was greatly
struck, says The Boston Herald. by the
democratic government of our read
ing-rooms, when in Boston. He enter
ed reading-room one day, and saw a
small. barefooted news-boy sitting in
one of the best chairs. enjoying him.
self to the utmost. The great essayist
was amazed, and asked. do you let
barefooted boys in this reading-room?
You would never see such a sight as
that in Europe. / do not believe there
is reading-room in all Europe, in
which that boy, dressed as he is, could
enter"
Then Mr.. Arnold went over to. the
boy. engaged him in conversation, and
found that he was reading the Life of
Washington" and that he was young
gentleman of decidedly anti British
tendencies, and, for his age, remarka-
bly, well-informed.
Mr.. Arnold remained talking with
the youngster for some time, and. as he
came away he said: Il do not think I
have been so impressed with ANYTHING
else that I have seen, since arriving in
this country, as I am now, with meet
ing this barefooted boy in this reading
room.
What tribute to democratic insti-
tutions 1t is, to say that, instead Of
