business in the state was taken up be-

Ing. The case came up on the hearing
Of the states demurrer interposed to
the defendants answer. Assistant
Attorney General c. W. Somerby pre-
sented the states case, and G. NJ
Ferguson appeared for the COMPANY.
The case involves the right of the
state to impose a license upon for
eign corporations, and both the state
and the defendants are making a hard
fight to have their respective points
sustained.
Mr.. SOmerby contended that the an
swer of the defendant set up no valid
defense. Under the statute of 1899. he
argued, all foreign corporations must
file with the secretary by the 1st of
July of that year a certified copy of
their constitution and bylaws, must
open an office and provide an agent
in the state upon whom service of
process could be had, must file a sworn

his tracks and left for parts unknown,
while the bride of but five days is in
charge of Police Matron Shaffer at the
central police station, awaiting the ar
rival of sufficient money to take her
back to her home in the East.
According to the story told by Mrs.
Hart she was awakened about /
O'Clock in the morning by a suffocating
sensation, and found that her husband
had been holding a handkerchief satu-
rated with chloroform over her face.
When she asked him what he was doing
he replied that he was using the con-
tents of the chloroform bottle, which
he held in his hand. for a headache.
She spent the remainder of the night
In another room, and in the morning
she got down to the office of the hotel
just in time to see her husband walk
ing down the street towards the depot.
The trunk which the doctor left be-
hind was searched, and several hun
dred letters from all parts of the
country were found. Many of them
were dated several months back and
were addressed to Mr.. and Mrs. G. l..
Hart, Portland, Or.
Mrs. Hart stated yesterday that she
was satisfied with the outcome of her
marriage and that she would return
to her home in the East as soon as

the same point. From there it is said,
the line will follow the Erie's route from
Aurora to Youngstown. 1t affords the
lowest grade of all the Hnes in the north

done by men in the employ of an outside
engineering firm, and there is an impress

the enterprise. The Lake Shore is sus-

being to get connection with the Lake

be available and could be used to excellent
advantage at the expiration of a traffic
