TRUST is KNOCKED
DEFAULT ENTERED AGAINST
THE BEEF COMBINE.
It Failed to Make an Answer to
Petition That it Be
Enjoined.

The great beef combine has apparent
ly ceased to fight against the laws of the
United States and has yielded to the
pressure brought to bear against it in
the federal courts.
When the case of the United States
against the trust was called in the
United States court the federal attorneys
were on hand ready to fight the case
through to finish, but the lawyers of
the trust were not present.
As this was the time limit set for the
companies of the combiue to make
answer to the petition that they be en-
joined, the attorneys for the govern
ment Immediately asked that an order
of default be entered against the defend
ants. This was granted.
The trust is apparently tired Of the
case and is about ready to submit. The
recent decision in the Merger Railway
cases at st. Paul probably had strong
bearing on the present attitude Of the
meat combine. Sixty days remain for
the packers to appeal The final decree
OF the court will be entered next week
on the present court, The packers may
ask the supreme court of the United
States to reverse the decree, but their
failure thus far to fight the case prompts
the belief that no appeal will be taken
from the decision.

they solicited and secured the cooper
alton of the Commercial Club and the
city council. Elaborate preparations
are being made to take care Of and en-
tertain the crowds who will be In at
tendance. A grand street parade will
start at 2 o'clock p. M, and from that
time until ten at night there will be
something doing every minute. The

an opportunity to get lunch and stroll

full lawns and the wealth Of flowers on
