according to the figures passed upon
yesterday. The assessments on forty
one state, national and savings banks
by the reviewers final figures, which

$79,S60,960 include real estate, which
the reviewers have deducted as having
been assessed separately.
Eight new banks, assessed at $780,
OGO, make up part of the Increase.
These are the National Bank Of North
America, the Central Trust, Chicago
Savings, Colonial Trust and Savings.
Drexel State Federal Trust and Saw
ings, Stockyard Savings and South
Chicago Savings banks. Three OF
these are assessed for more than ST.

America for $2.01o.ooo, the Central
Trust Company for $4,000 and the

The birds were confiscated under that
section of the game law, as amended
by the legislature last winter, requiring
the owner to accompany shipments OF
prairie chickens, which are to be open
to view and tagged and labeled with
the name of the owner The chickens
seized by the game warden were in an
inclosed hox.
A local attorney, to test the law as
amended, instituted an action in behalf
of the owner for the recovery Of the
birds. After hearing the arguments
Judge Jones held that under The law
as amended fifteen or less birds can be
shipped from one point in the state
to another, whether the owner is With
the shipment or not He also held that
such shipments can be made by box,
sack or in any manner to suit the con-
venience of he shipper, and need not
be open for inspection This is the
first decision to be rendered in regard
to the game law as amended by the last
legislature.

swlNDLER CONTRACTS GRAIN.
Gets Money Down From Several Buy
ers and Disappears.


Sioux Falls, Sept. s.-A shrewd swim
ller succeeded in victimizing two
Parker grain buyers by a scheme which
is new one for this part of the coun-
try. 1t may be attempted in other
parts Of the state, and for this reason
grain buyers thruout the state should
be on their guard against advancing
money to strange farmers" who are
about to commence the work of thresh-
ing and hauling their grain to mar
ket.
The swindler introduced himself 10
the first of his Parker victims by de-
claring his name was Frank Wilson,
that he was farmer in Norway town
ship Turner county, stating that he
had 5000 bushels of oats which he
wished to sell on contract. He de-
manded the sum Of $40 to bind his
agreement to sell all the oats to the
buyer who had been approached. The
buyer gave the swindler a check for
$40.
The swindler then went to the rail
road yards and introduced himself TIC
another grain buyer. to whom he told
nearly the same story. 1t is said he de-
manded and received the sum OF sec
from his second victim. thus cleaning
up $3.50 in the course of twenty minutes
or half an hour. The swindler Their
disappeared and has not since been seen
at Parker or vicinity.
He is described as being dark cons
plexioned, with dark hair and NOUS
tache. and was dressed in dark clothes
A pair Of overails and dark hat
completed his attire.

STANDARD Q)SS[DN[SS
Independents Claim That Trust
Pumped Salt Water Into
Their Oil Wells
TRUST WOULD BUY UP WELLS
Texas Paper Prints Sensational Story
That Standard Oil company's Pipe
Line is Used TO Pump Salt Water
From Gulf Into Wells Of Independent
Companies to Wreck Them.

Dallas. Tex, Sept. s.-The Fort
Worth Telegram prints The most start
ling story that has eva- come out of
the Beaumont oil fields. and states that
tits informant is one of the most promi-
nent men of Fort Worth, who returned
from Beaumont Sunday. This man
declares that the Standard OIL Com
lpany has perpetrated a most gigantic
swindle in the Beaumont fields, and
that positively established details are
just coming to light.
The Independent Oil companies of
Beaumont are the victims, many of
which have been wrecked by the
Standard work.
Recently some of the leading men of
the wrecked or injured companies de-
terminted to vestigate. and in two
days they raised $4,000 in money with
which to push the work. The develop
ments. it is declared, are simply as
founding 1t is shown that the numer
GUS wells tina. were apparently ruined
by salt water were put in their bad
condition by the standard Oil Com
pany's conspirators.
AS fast as a company went to the
wall, its property was bought In by the
Trust. BY accident, 1t is claimed, the
desperate work OF the Standard COM
pany was recently discovered.
The Standard OH Company long ago
built pipe line from Beaumont to the
Gulf of Mexico. A pumping station was
erected at Beaumont aud another at
the gulf. Oil was pumped thru the
pipe line to the gulf AMI thence shipped
to various parts of the world Sudden
ly many wells of the independent COM
panies had salt water in them.
The ruin OF the owners is part Of the
history of the field. One day not long
ago one of the pumping stations got
out of working order and Oil pumping
to the gulf had to be suspended while
repairs were being made.
Suddenly wells that has been giving
out fully one-half salt water began
flowing nothing but oil. good fuel oil, 1t
| is declared.
That put the investigation on foot.
The investigators secretly at night
slugged up the pipe line at the Beau
mont end. They drove several miles
Into the country. dug into the ground
over the pipe line, made tapping into
the line, and salt water gushed into the
air nearly 100 feet. 1t Is claimed that
the pressure was from the gulf pump
ling station and that salt water was
being pumped to Beaumont and into
