GRAIN FREIGHT RATE CASE.
The Action Brought in the Federal
Court Dismissed.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 19.-The
grain freight rate case, which has been
pending in the Federal courts for over
a. year, has finally ended. To-day At
torney E. S. Pillsbury, representing the
Southern Pacific Railroad Company,
the plaintiff in the case, appeared in
the United States Circuit Court and
asked that the suit be dismissed. His
request was granted
A similar motion had been made two
weeks ago by Attorney General Ford,
on behalf of the State Board of Rail-
road Commissioners, but on that oc-
casion Judge Morrow held that the re-
quest should be made by the plaintiff
in the action. He refused to dismiss
the case, and the matter rested until
to day.
When court opened Mr.. Pillsbury
asked that the case be dismissed, and
stated that. after looking into the mat
ter, he concluded that the first sugges-
ton of Judge Morrow as to who should
move for dismissal was correct
In granting the motion Judge Nor
row said that further investigation had
revealed to him additional reasons why
such a motion should come from the
plaintiff, and he then instructed Clerk
Beaizley to enter an order of dismissal.
Attorney General Ford was not pres
ent in court but in his application for
dismissal Mr.. Pillsbury Incorporated a
copy of the resolution adopted by the
Railroad Commissioners requesting the
ending of the litigation.

ERTEL FIRED THE SHOT.
Admits That He Shot With Inten
ton to Kill Lee Thompson.

STOCKTON, May 19.-The man who
shot Lee Thompson last night at Hol-
den Station, while he was reading at
his home, is Sam Ertel, who was ar
rested this morning near the oil tanks
in the Fair Oaks Addition east of
town. He was asleep on a cock of hay
at the time. He was surprised by Dep
uties Black and Wall, and his pistol
secured.
He confessed that he had shot
Thompson last night, and declared that
he was coming to give himself up. The
statement about his giving himself up
is not believed by the officers, how
ever, who think that he was intending
to take the first train out of town. He
made no resistance, and was brought
back to town and placed in Jail.
It seems that Ertel and Thompson
had been partners in fourteen and a
quarter acres of land at Holden Sta
ton. Ertel originally owned the land,
and he took Thompson into partner
ship, Thompson to pay S100. Thomp-
son finally sued for division of prop
erty. The case was compromised, Ertel
conserving to the division, after which
Ertel sold out and went to San Fran
cisco. He claims that Thompson did
not pay up as agreed, SO he returned to
Stockton, and went out to the station
last night to kill Thompson
Thompson was shot in the hand.
Ertel is charged with assault with a
deadly pom with intent to commit
murder.

gregate about $4,000. OF this total
