AN OIL WAR Is ON.
Standard Oil Company Refuses to
Purchase the Product of the
Cudahys

Montpelier, Ind, Feb. s.-The Cudahys
the Chicago capitalists, who recently en-
tered the oil fields in this and adjoining
counties, have discovered that the Stand
ard Oil company has determined to look
upon them as an enemy to the public
peace, and they must look elsewhere for
a market for their oil.
Before the Cudahys had their tanks for
storage ready and when they were pro-
ducing about 1, 200 barrels of oil day they
ran their product into the Standard lines
for shortage until &c, 900 barrels had thus
accumulated. The oil was in the keeping
of the Buckeye pipe line, Sub-Standard
company, whose business is to store oil
or pump it to the trust refneries. After
the trust had thus received the crude oil
the Cudahys offered to. sell it. but the
Standard positively refused to buy, al
though 1t was buying all the oil that
others produced. The Standard offers the
only market for Indiana oil and producers
here believe that the reason the trust
refused to take the CudahyS' product was
because it wanted to drive the Chicago
capitalists out of the field. purchase OF
So, GOO worth of leases has just been made
by Haskell K. Haskell of Chicago and it
is believed that this purchase was made
for the CudahyS.

PHENACETINE IN COURT.
Schiefelin & Co. are Out on the War
Path.

Denver, Feb. S.-A drug called phen-
acetine has been the cause of two suits
in equity and one law suit being filed in
the United States courts. James H.
Brown, the attorney, filed the suits. He
represents the New York attorneys of
Schieffelin & Co., importers, who con-
troll the entire product of phenacetine
for the United States.
The drug was discovered in 1888 by
OSkar HinSberg of Barmen, Germany,
and he organized concern to Tnanufac-
ture it, doing business under the style
of The Farbenfabriken vonnals F'riedr.
Bayer & Co. This concern secured pat
ents for the United States and the eQui-
ty proceedings are against Budaham
Quereau & Co. and Hugh L. Tiuling,
merchandise brokers of Denver, for al
legged infringement of patents, and for
damages. The bills also ask for writ
of injunction to prevent the defendants
from further selling substitutes for their
drug.
The law suit is brought by the same
parties against the Rocky Mountain
Druggist Publishing company to recov-
er $4,000 damages for alleged libel. The
articles declared to be libelouS appeared
in the Rocky Mountain Druggist last
fall. They were in the nature of advice
to druggists not to buy phenacetine
from Schieffelin & Co. on the ground
that that firm sells it in Canada at 25
cents per ounce, but charges 81 pei
ounce in the United States.

OPERA co. TERRORIzED.
a Gang of Cowboys Greet the Column
bia Company With Revolvera

Spokane, Wn., Feb. 8.-Superintend-
ent Harding Russell of the Great North
ern railway has received a report from
the agent at Shelby Junction, Mont,
to the effect that the members of the
Colum bia Opera company were roughly
treated by a gang of cowboys upon
their arrival there.
AS the train carrying the theatrical
people pulled into the depot the cow
boys greeted it with fusilade from
their revolvers. After the tenderfeet
had alighted the cowboys proceeded to
enliven them
For three hours the members of the
Opera company were terrorized, their
tormentorS firing revOlvers, fighting
with the men and insulting the women.
At the station the agent interfered and
the cowboys there threatened to kill
him and he was compelled to hide in
a warehouse near by. The sheriff was
notified, and, armed with a warrant, is
searching for the perpetrators of the
outrage.

MONTERREY WATERWORKs.
First Modern System for Mexico to
be Introduced.

Monterey, Mex, Feb. 8.-P1ans for the
first modern system of water works and
sewerage in this republic were today
submitted to Governor Bernardo Reyes
for his approval, in accordance with the
concession recently granted ]. A. Rob
ertson, for the city of Monterey.
The plans were made by the celebrat-
ed sanitary engineer, Samuel NJ. Gray,
of Providence, r. l., and provide for a
system that will be unexcelled by any
in the world. 1t is taken as a matter
of course that Monterey, in consequence
of her phenomenal prosperity, should
lead in the wonderfully rapid changes
through which this country is now
passing. The water supply will be
brought in from a large underground
river recently discovered flowing
through the mountains ten miles west
of this city.
These works involve the expenditure
of 81, 250, 900 in gold, which will be fur
nished by American capitalists. The
concession is one of the most liberal
and valuable ever granted by this state.

LINE TO THE YUKON.
Alexander Begg Projects NewRoute
to Fort Selkirk.

Ottawa, Feb. 8.-Mr. Alexander Begg,
who some time ago secured a loan of
$3.50 900 from the British government to
promote the settlement of CrofterS, on
the Pacific coast, with the object of de-
veloping the British Columbia deep-sea
fisheries, is here to urge government
aid toward railway extension into the
Yukon country from the Pacific coast.
BY the proposed route communication
will be established entirely through
British territory, partly by the Stikeen
river, which is navigable for nearly $50
miles, thence by a proposed railway
ever 100 miles across the northwestern
portion of Cassiar district TO Teslin
lake, which is partly in British Column
bia, but which constitutes the headwa-
tiers of the Yukon river, and with it's
outlet forms junction with PeIly river
and Lewis river at Fort Selkirk. The
present difficult and dangerous route by
Juneau and across the tempestuous
coast range of the United States Alas
kan boundary, as yet underlined, will be
avoided and supplies can be brought in
for the western Yukon country by the
Canadian route, instead of as they have
hitherto been by the main Yukon river
from the Behring sea.
The Yukon is closed by ice for about
six months in the year for over 1000
miles to the international boundary
line, Hist meridian.

THE CATTLE QUARANTINE.
Secretary Morton:s Latest Order Con-
corning It

Washington, Feb. s.-Complying with
the act OF congress for the suppression
of contaSaSus diseases among domestic
animals, Secretary Morton has, under
date of January 81, issued to managers
and agents of railroads and transporta-
ton companies in this country, stock
men and others, a circular notifying them
that a contagious and infectious disease
known as splenetic or southern fever
exists in an area south of federal
quarantine line, drawn from the north
west corner of California and running
in an irregular direction to where the
boundary line of Virginia joins the
southeastern corner of Maryland at the
Atlantic ocean. This includes the fol-
lowing states: California, Texas, Ar
kansas. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama,
Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, North
Carolina and Virginia, portions of Ten
nessee and the Indian Territory.
From the 18th of February to the 18th
of November inclusive, during each
year, no cattle are to be transported
from the territory indicated to any por-
ton of the United States above, north,
east or west of the federal quarantine
slaughter, and when so transported GER
tain regulations are to be complied
with These include the watering and
feeding of such cattle apart from other
cattle when unloaded for such purposes;
their isolation in separate pens at points
of destination, the placarding OF cars
carrying the animals, and the disinfec-
ton of the same when the journey is
completed.
Cattle from the republic of Mexico
may be admitted into the United States
to remain below the federal quarantine
line after inspection according to law,
but they will not be permitted to cross
the quarantine line otherwise than by
rail for immediate slaughter, except by
special permit from the inspectors of
the bureau of animal industry, and no
permit will be issued except for cattle
free from Splenetic or Texas fever, or
from contact Herewith during the three
months preceding the issuance OF the
permit and which have been grazed in
a locality free from infection from such
fever.
Cattle originating outside of the dis
trict described by the order, or amend
ments thereof, and which are infested
with the bophilus bowls ticks, are to be
considered as infectious cattle and be
subject to the rules and regula tions
governing the movement of southern
cattle.
Stock yard companies receiving such
cattle are to place them in the pens set
aside for the use of southern cattle and
transportation companies are required
to clean and disinfect all cars and all
vessels which have contained the same,
according to the requirements of the
department. The states of Arkansas,
Virginia and North Carolina, having
adopted local quarantine lines satisfac-
tory to the department. the order of
January 27 designating a federal quar-
antine line for those states has been
modified accordingly.

HEAVY RAILWAY TRAFFIC.
Rock Island Business Booming Along
the South Kansas Line.

Wellington, Feb. S.-The business on
the Rock Island at present is SO heavy
that regular trains are delayed on ac-
count of it. Friday there were three
extra trains through here each way, be-
sides the three regular trains each way.
Quite a number of extras passed through
here Sunday night also. The heavy
traffic is caused by the shipping of
cattle from Texas to- the east and the
shipment of corn from the northern and
eastern states into Texas. tt has been
necessary on this division of the Rock
Island to press passenger conductors
into the freight service in order to Sc
cure enough crews to- handle the freight
traffic.

CAUGHT IN A SNOW SLIDE.
Narrow Escape of Driver and Four
Hourse Team.

Ouray, Col, Feb. s.-About 6 o'clock
last evening a snow slide caught Will
liam O1eson on the Sneffels road, while
he was coming down from the Revenue
tunnel with q four-horse team and
wagon loaded with ore. The mass of
snow carried the whole outfit down a
precipice, but fortunately not very far
Parties who witnessed the disaster
FASTENED to the rescue and after several
hours work the driver and horses were
taken out. The driver was found TO be
uninjured and the horses received only
slight cuts and bruises. The heavy
snow fall during the past few days
makes traffic over the Toll and Sneffels
roads a risky undertaking.
