THE STANDARD SWALLOWS ITS GREATEST
RIVAL.
A Biz Pittsburg Oil Producing Company Bought for
100000 - The Anchor Company 70
Go the Same Way-No Rival
in the Field.

PITTSBURG, PA, June 3.-Thc Stand
ard Oil Company has purchased the
Forest Oil Company for sl,6OO,OO ana
promise to take the remaining 500, 900
stock at above par. The Forest OH
Company started ter years ago with a
capital stock of 500, 600, and has steadily
increased its capital stock in proper
tion to its enormous oil producing
interests. until it is to-day S2,0OO,OOO,
owned largely by Oil City and Buffa. y
parties, and the Nandergrifts OF this
city. 1t is the largest producing com
pany in the world, with $4,000 acres OF
producing territory, and its receipts In
the past ten years were S4,63O,OOO. IL
also owned controlling interest IN the
Washington Oil Company and tile
United Gas Trust. Not satisfied with
gobbling this enormous concern, the
Standard is negotiating for the purchase
OF the Anchor Oil Company, the second
largest and richest producing company
in existence, and there seems TO be no
doubt the sale will soon be- made. The
peculiar and apparently unwarranted
breaks in the oil market lately are now
attributed To the clever hand OF the
Standard in depressing the value
Of the stock of these two big
companies. Should the purchase OF the
Anchor Oil Company also be consum-
mated, there will be no rival producing
company in the field worthy of the
Standards powder, and what is more,
there never can be one with the present
territory so fully developed aud no
other oil fields in sight. The wild cat
prospcctor is busy, however. day and
night. seeking new fields.

KNoXvIIIE, Tenn. June 3.-Rcports
received here last night state that Bud
Lindsay, Deputy United States Marshal,
shot and killed kits, distiller, in
Camp county. Lindsay wanted a gallon
of whisky, and Kills told him he could
not sell less than 100 gallons under his Ii
cense. Lindsay got mad and abused
kits. The diStiller's fourteen-year-old
son thought his father in danger and
threw Il rock at Lindsay. Lindsay at
tempted to shoot Kills, but his party
took his pistols away from him. They
left, and when mile dway Lindsay
asked for the pistols, saying he would
do no harm. He got the pistols and
wheeled his horse and rode back TO
kits house The latter saw him com
ing and locked the door, but Lindsay
broke it down and shot kits twice,
killing him instantly. He then attcmpt-
cd TO shoot the boy, but missed him and
hit little girl, but did not seriously
wound her. 1t is reported that Lind
says party arrested him and gave him
over to the sheriff of the county. Lind
say is a desperate citizen, having muir
dered prominent citizen of Campbell
county five years ago and escaped be-
cauSe of lack of evidence.

PITTSDURG, June 3.-The annual con-

was opened at Turner Hall in this city
this morning, with 260 delegates from
all parts Of the country. The session
was taken up almost entirely with per
fccting the organization and nothing of
interest trarspired. The most import
ant matter to be considered, as usual,
will be the adoption of new scale of
wages. The provisions of the new
scale, which will probably not be pre-
sented to the convention for several
days, are guarded with great secrecy by
the members of the Wages Committee.
NO ADVANCE To BE ASKED.
The Post will say tomorrow that not
withstanding the many reports to the
contrary. the Wage Committee will ad-
wise that no changes whatever be made
in the scale of prices. They base their
arguments on the present precarious
condition of the iron markets.
