Little Rock. Ark, May 97.-The greatest
battle ever waged against the trusts came
to an end here today, when the corpora
items marched from the field OF conflict
with victorious colors flying The SUI
preme court of Arkansas rendered de-
cision in the famous insurance cases sus-
tanning the findings of the court below,
the decision in brief being victory for
the CORPORATIONS.
The fight against trusts In Arkansas has
been notable one. The struggle began
in the legislature at its recent session.
and after hot contest the Rector anti
trust bill became a law. The attorney
general thereupon brought suit against
the fire insurance companies under the
new law, setting up that they constituted
trust in that they were members OF
rating bureau outside OF the State. To
this the defendants demurred aud the cir
cult court sustained tho demurrer on the
ground that the construction OF the law
was extraterr1torial. The decision of the
supreme court today sustalns ele circuit
court. and in effect practically nulli6es the
Rector law.
While upholding the constitutlonality OF
the enactment Of a law declaring that
combinations to fix prices in this State are
amensble to the law, 1t is held to be in
comnetent to reach combinations to reg
ulate prices outside the State,
Attorney General Davis is disgusted. Al

known for years. All the Indians are
higher attitudes. The only way to get in
bad weather continues this will be closed
before many days
While at Basalt Meadows De Nries and
his companions picked up Captain Beck,
a we'll known mining man. The old man
had been in the higher attitudes on a
prospecting trip He started to come down
when the storm overlook him. Had he
not struck the camp of the Congressman
at Basalt Meadows he would surely have
pershed. When first discovered he was
in an unconscious condition. All the re-
sources at hand were supplied him. but
he remained in a stupor and would not
awake from It. The question then was to
get him out. Captain Beck was lashed
to one of the horses with ropes and the
way was made out slowly. 1t was still
bitterly cold, and Captain Beck did not
revive during the whole trip. At last
Fresno Flats was reached again, and
there the old man was ensconced in the
hotel and given all possible care. Just
before the Stockton party left he had re-
gained consciousness and seemed on q
fair road to recovery.
