THE TEXAS ANTITRUST LAW.


Austin, Tex, Aug. 3.-Suit is to be
filed by the attorney general of Texas
to cancel the permit of the Waters
Pierce Oil company, of Missouri, to
do business in Texas. About three
years ago suit was brought against
the Waters-Pierce Oil company to can
Gel its permit on the ground that it
had violated the Texas antitrust law
of 1898. Early in the last year the SUI
preme court of the United States sus-
tanned the judgment of the lower
courts cancclling the permit. The
company was dissolved and new
company with the same name organ
lied. The new company was admitted
to Texas and quite a political sensa-
ton resulted. Under the antitrust
law of 1899 corporations are required
to file an affidavit each year stating
in effect that they have not been
guilty of restraint of trade The last
day for fling these aflidavits is July
81. On yesterday the Waters Pierce
Oil company was awarded the con-
tract to supply all state institutions
with large quantity of oil. Suisse
quently it was discovered that it had
not filed its antitrust affidavit.
Thereupon the governor ordered the
contract cancelled and further or
dered that suit be brought to cancel
the permit of the company.
The secretary of state has trans
mitted to Attorney General Bell list
of 1903 foreign corporations author
lied to do business in Texas which
have failed this year to file an anti
trust affidavit. Mr.. Bell says he will
file suit against all of these corpora
tons except o few which attempted
to comply with the law, but whose
afiidavits were rejected because of ir-
regularity.

THE BENDER FAMILY.
4 Story Told by . Black Hills Scout How
They We're Tracked and Ex-
terminated.

Deadwood, S. D., Aug. &c. T.
Pierce, one of the Oldest and most
reliable Indian scouts of the Black
hills, has given out story about the
Bender family, Of Kansas, which goes
to show that there 10 no further need
Of the authorities searching for the
remains Of the family. Pierce had a
friend in the 70s and before the friend
died he related to Pierce the incl
dents relative to the killing of all Of
the members Of the Bender family.
When the York family was killed and
the tragedy was traced to the home
Of the Blenders, Pierce's friend was
among those from the city of Cherry
vale who went out to investigate the
condition Of things at the Bender
roadhouse. There were "a men in the
party, one of the men being an old
buffalo hunter. They found the trap
door behind q curtain, which led into
the cellar, into which the dead bodies
had been thrown until dark, when
they were taken out into the garden
and buried. The searching party next
went out into the garden and COM
menced looking for the spot where
the bodies had been buried. Fifteen
bodies were found by the party In the
garden, including the Texas cattle
man, who was supposed to have been
shot in the west room. The trail of
an old rickety wagon was found, and
the buffalo hunter followed it up all
day, and about nightfall came upon
the family, camped near creek. The
posse came up and was divided into
three parts, and the Bender family
was surrounded. One of the posse ac-
cidentally discharged his rifle before
the proper time, which gave the warn
ing Of danger to the Bender people.
They Immediately prepared for de-
tense. The buffalo hunter fred at
long range at old man Bender and
hit him in the back, killing him. An
other volley from the posse, and John
and his mother fell dead. Kate was
the last one to be shot. The posse
then went to the scene and piled the
four dead bodies in heap and
burned them, adding to the fire the
wagon, harness and the camp outfit.
Everything that would not burn was
taken to the creek bank and covered
over with dirt.

SAN FRANCISCO'S STRIKE.
The Prospect for an Amicable Settlement
Very Slim-The Mayor Aband0ns His
Efforts at Mediation.

San Francisco, Aug. 6.-The out.
look for an amicable settlement of the
strike has considerably diminished
and last night the indications were
that the contest would be protracted
one. ',he efforts of Mayor Phelan to
bring about an understanding between
the opposing interests have failed
and he has been reluctantly compelled
to abandon temporarily, at least, his
position as mediator. The labor lead
ers take the position that the refusal
of the employers to treat with the
unions renders compromise impos-
sible. They have not announced their
plans for the future, but the belief
is general that the strike is to be
widely extended. Power to act has
been placed in the hands of the labor
council, which can, if so disposed,
call out 50 additional unions, which
include nearly $4,000 men. Three i'm
portant organizations, the sand team
sters, the bakers and the electrical
workers, have been already ordered
to hold themselves in readiness to
quit work at moments notice. A
strike of the bakers would it is said,
compel them to shut off the local sup
ply of bread, and If the sand team
sters were to leave their work all
building would stop and 5000 carpen-
tiers and builders would be compelled
to leave work because of their inabil-
ity to secure material and supplies.
Late last night the labor council
ordered out the sand transfers, about
900 in number
