THE WHISKY TRUST
Secures the Only Large Antitrust Dis

Secures the Only Large Antitrust Dis
tillery. Schufeldt's, of Chicago.
CHICAGO. June "A gigantic deal, the
negotiations toward which have been car
ried on for the past week, was consum-
mated this evening at the Auditorium.
By the papers which were signed, the
whisky trust has at last acquired out
right the only remaining important anti
trust establishment in the west, the great
Chicago distilleries owned by H. Schu-
feldt & Go. and the Calumet Distilling
company. The Schufeldt distillery was
partly burned yesterday, and for the at
tempted blowing up of which by dyna-
mite some weeks ago Geo. J. Gibson, Sec
rotary of the whisky trust, is now under
indictment. It is thought by many that
this transaction will materially affect the
Gibson case by removing any vindictive
feeling toward him entertained by the
Schufeldts. The news of the purchase
was a surprise, although rumors, which
were denied by the owners of the pur-
chased d%istilleries, have been persistent
ly in circulation. The sale of both plants
included the real estate, machinery,
stock of goods, patents, trade marks,
brands and right to continue use of the
names. In connection with the purchase
the whisky trust directors disclaim any
intention to advance prices. They abso-
lutely refuse to give the purchase price,
stating merely that the purchase was for
cash and at figures alike satisfactory to
sellers and purchasers. The price is,
however, known to have been fully COM
mensurate with the gigantic character of
the properties purchased, probably in-
volving the transfer of about $2,OOO,OOO.

The play progressed. Lucky Bill's face
was unyielding as a stone and entirely I'M

slightest move on the part Of the other
players. He was a typical gambler and
one of the most successful of his guild.
Hence his sObriquet.
