TWO UNCONfIRMED TALES
THOMAS PAGE, TWELVE YEARS OLD,
KILLS SIX BAD INDIANS,
Five Cowboys and Puts Three
More to Flight.

CHICAGO, June pa special to the
Record Herald from FL Paso, Tex, says:
Stories of two desperate fights in New
Mexico are brought in by couriers from the
Southwest. City Detective Harold, who has
just returned from the Mersalero Apache
reservation, tells of a fight between
Thomas Page. thirteen-year-old boy, and
six Indians, who had killed his father, and
were looting the house. The lad was armed
with a rifle and, concealing himself be-
hind some rocks, killed all of the Indians.
The authorities have taken the lad to the
reservation.
From Springs, 300 miles northeast of Ell
Paso, comes the story of a fight between
Bud Lee who claims to be a descendant
Of the Virginia Lees. and a gang Of cow
boys who sought his life. Eight cowboys
attempted to ambush Lee and his com
panion, a man eighty years old, but the
two men heard of the plot. The dispute
arose over Lee watering his herd of cat
tie at the Springs. the claim being made
that they trampled up the springs and
spoiled the only watering place for miles
around The battle was with long-range
repeating rifles, and Lee killed five of the
cowboys and put the other three TO flight.
Lee has surrendered TO the sheriff"

War Department Collecting Data.

WASHINGTON, June 2O.-The War De-
partment has been engaged for some time
in the collection of the cata requisite for
the preparation of a reciprocity treaty
with Cuba should the President conclude
to send such a treaty to the Senate in the
event Of the failure of Congress to grant
relief by legislative enactment to the peo-
pie of the island. 1t is not believed, how
ever, to be probable that treaty will be
submitted during the present session of
Congress, mainly because of the physical
impossibility of preparing a satisfactory
and complete measure within the short
time before adjournment is taken for the
summer. A high official of the administra-
tion expressed these sentiments when
spoken TO on the subject tonight and, in
addition. negatived the likelihood of a spe-

Mr.. Keach drew forth a bundle of papers.
Here is the classified schedule of the

in force since 1898. My man procured it at
Elwood. II l understood Mr.. McCulloch

Mr.. Harding suggested that Mr.. Reach

kind of argument, the companies had
a verbal understanding that the freight

PATERSON, ". j., June 20-Mayor
Hinchliffe seems tonight to be in complete
control of the situation here, backed, as he
is, by the entire peace-controlling force of
the city and county and a goodly portion
of the state militia. The soldiers presence
has had a deterrent effect on the reds and
they are not in evidence in the city The
troops will remain on duty all night and be
relieved by the deputies in the morning
No troops will do duty in the daytime un-
less there should be serious trouble.
An organization has been completed COM
posed of fifty wealthy business men of this
city. to be known to the public as the
Paterson vigilance committee, but the
membership and proceedings are not to be
made public. Private detectives have al
ready been engaged to shadow the leading
reds" The Anarchists are to be induced
TO leave Paterson quietly if possible If
they do not go the committee is said TO
have its own plan of action. One of the
methods to be employed is said to be the
keeping of a blacklist, and, no matter
where in Paterson a man on ii obtains
work. his employer will be notified to dis

ANTITRUST LAW INVALID
ILLINOIS STATUTE DECLARED TO BE
VOID BY JUDGE HANECY.
Finding for Defendants Entered i'm
Fifty-FOur Cases Brought Under
the Act of 1891.

CHICAGO. June 20 I'm a decision given
to-day Judge Elbridge Hanecy, of the State
Circuit Court, held that the Illinois anti
trust law of 1891 is unconstitutional and
void in all its parts. He ordered a finding
in favor of the defendant in the case of
the people on relation of the attorney gtn-
eral against the Butler-street Foundry and
Iron Company.
BY Judge Hanecys decision practically
all that was left of the antitrust statutes
of Illinois are declared to be a nullity In
fifty-three other cases similar to the one
passed on by the court like finding was
entered pursuant to a stipulation among
the attorneys in the case. The prosecu-
tion based it's case principally on the pro-
visions of Section : OF the act of 1891 which
provides for the fling of afidavits by COR
porations annually with the secretary of
state. showing that they are not party to
any pool, combination or trust
In passing opinion on the merits OF the
case Judge Hanecy held that the law Cf
1897 amended the law OF 1891 and that the
decided that the law of 1897 is unconstitu-
tional. The separate trust act of 1893 was
declared to be illegal by the Federal Su-
preme Court last March.
The decision has direct bearing upon a
large number of cases that have been be-
CUR against manufacturing corporations
to collect fines for noncompliance with the
provisions of the antitrust law in regard
to the fling of affidavits. Early in 1893
Attorney General Aiken for the Stale of
Illinois. and States Attorney Deneen, OF
Cook county, begun 200 suits in the courts
of Cook county to recover $3.50 from each
defendant, or a total Of nearly $1,000. .OO0

each year the secretary of state shall ad-
