Asphalt on the Bargain Counter.

Minneapolis Tribune:
Now is the time to lay asphalt pave
ment, before the contractors get to-
gether again and boost the price. As
phalt is an ideal pavement for some
purposes. though not universally. Ma
cadam and prepared wood are super
seding it on wide boulevards and
heavy traffic streets. But it is admira-
bly, suited to narrow streets, both resi-
dence and business. where a firm arch
can be made and there is not too much
tearing up for repairs.
The great objection to asphalt is its
price. The article lends itself to mo-
nOpoly. and most cities grumbIe as
they pay assessments they are COLI
WINGED are too high. But big profits
invite competition, and every now and
then an asphalt combine falls out and
honest property owners get their rights.
This has just happened in st. Paul. A
new bidder came into q paving cOmpe-
tition for which the engineers estimates
were over $46 900. Evidently the 9TH
GERS knew he was coming and the old
established company cut its bid to the
bone, getting the contract for about
$4,000 less. We believe that this old
company handles the best asphalt
from the Trinidad lakes, though the
new bidder offered only California as
phalt
The successful bid was only $1.75 a
yard except on one heavy traffic
street This is the lowest price ever
paid in st. Paul. That it Is due TO
competition is proved by the fact that
the lowest bid for a sandstone con
tract offered at the same time. was
$500 above the engineers estimate. This
price makes asphalt cheaper than brick
or stone, and there is going to be q
! scramble for 1t in St Paul. The old
combine price was about so cents q
yard more. We should suppose thai
this state of things would have some
interest for Minneapolis.

exciting and exhilarating pastime of
hunting wild game, yet there are few
persons who do not thoroughly enjoy
the game Of the chase, and even in The
thickly settled sections of Europe and

denies to his neighbors the privileges
of his fields for hunting is regarded
with contempt as one who lives only

FEAR CAUSED
A
Crazed Man in San Francisco
Shoots Himself i'm Presence
of Former Vile

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 19.-Crazed
by fear of arrest in connection with
the robbery of the Manhattan hotel
at Point Richmond last Saturday
night, George Nottingham, son of a
wealthy and prominent resident of
Walnut Creek, shot and killed him
sci in the room of his former wife,
at 20 Noe street, this morning.
After the robbery of the hotel the
two men made their escape, going in
the direction Of West Berkeley. De-
putty Sherins Maitoza and Lindley
were informed of the robbery and
started in pursuit as soon as possible.
AT Munday's saloon, on the corner
of San Pablo and University avenues,
in West Berkeley, the two deputies
met the brothers and Maitoza spoke TO
them, not suspecting that he had over
taken the men whom he was after.
The four were in conversation for
about two minutes, when suddenly
George Nottingham jumped behind his
brothed, drew two revolvers and
opened fire. Maitoza pulled his gun
and returned the fire.
The brothers then retreated down
University avenue toward the West
Berkeley station. Maitoza and Lindley
following them closely, kept up the
fight. After the battle had covered
nearly two blocks the men jumped be-
hind some bushes, and made off in
the darkness.
Walter Nottingham, the younger OF
the two, was arrested at Martinez last
night and made a complete confession.
The whereabouts Of the elder brother
could not be as%certained, although ii
was suspected he had made his escape
to this side of the bay. Detectives
Ryan and Taylor were detailed to keep
a close watch for him on this side,
and it is supposed that Nottingham,
seeing that all his of escape
were cut off, decided to end his life.
Early this morning he entered the
room of Hattie Nottingham, his di-
vorced wife. and seated himself on the
side of the bed. Leaning over her he
kissed her and whispered, will you
for give me, Hattie?" Before the
startled woman had time to realize
what he was going to do two pistol
sots rang out and the lifeless body Of
Nottingham fell to the floor with the
blood streamingfrom two bullet wound
in his left breast. Nearly crazed the
woman ran screaming from the room
and called for assistance. The man
died instantly. He left a note in
which he e~xonerated his brother Of
any intentional w~rongdoing.

The supreme court of the United
States convened here last Monday.
The present session will be especially
important because of the antitrust
cases pending. Before the session
closes the case of the United States
against the Northern Securities COM
pany and the case against the packers
combination, known as the beef trust
viii have been argued. Attorney
General Knox will represent the gov
eminent in the former and William A.
Day in the latter. Two other i'm
portant cases involving the antitrust
laws are the railroad injunction suits
to prevent rebates and the case against
the coal trust roads for refusing to
produce documents. Much political
interest centers around these cases
and their decision will do much to de-
fine the present status Of antitrust
legislation.
