STANDARD OIL CASE
WILL be DISMISSED
States Attorney Gives as His
Reason That the Suit Was
Only a Test Case.
DECISION FOR COMPANY
The Suit Originally Besan on Question
of the Shipping of Oil in Original
Packages Direct from Refiner-
ics-Other News.

Pierre, S. D., Nov. 25.-The test case
against the Standard Oil company in
regard to oil shipments which did no
fill the requirements of the state law
look a new phase in the circuit court
Saturday evening.
states Attorney Goodner appeared
before the court and moved the dis
mlssal OF the case, giving as his reasons
lnal III beginning the suit he had mere
~ acted for the attorney general on a
suit Tor a test case only and that at
present 1T appeared that Attorney Cen
eral Hall would take no further action
IN the matter, claiming that when the
SUIT was started it was under an I'M
derstanding that the case was to test
n gravity provisions of the new law,
while now the defense had brought into
the case the interstate pro-
visions of the law governing shipments
IN original packages. On account of the
WlthdraWai from the suit of the attor-
ney general the motion to dismiss was
made.
Attorneys Horner and Stewart, for.
the defense, strenuously opposed the
dismissal of the case, and the release
of their client, as they desired the
whole matter to go TO trial, and they
denied any agreement to try only on
the gravity provisions of the law and
claimed the right of their clients to
raise any point in the case when they
Went to trial; hat the interstate COM
merce phase of the law was as vital in
their case as any other part of it, and
that they should not be deprived of any
of their rights in the case on account
of the failure or refusal of the attor-
neys to act In the matter.
After hearing the arguments Judge
Giaifey Withheld his decision until De-
cenaber 4. the date set for the trial of
he case.

cLEW TO BURGLARS.
Team Stolen by LYONS Bank Robber

cam stolen by Lyons Bank Robbers
Found in a Brush Thicket.
Lyons. Neb,, Nov. 21.-The officials of
the First National bank are in possession.
OF the first tangible clue regarding the,
burglars who blew their strong box Tues
day morning. During the day a report
had come from Decatur that the team
stolen from Farmer A. II. Herenbeen near
Lyons by the bank robbers had been found
east of there, but the Information proved
to be erroneous and the team found be-
longed to soneone.else.
Sheriff Bowman of Dodge county notified
the owner of the missing team that his.
horses and two-seated carriage had been.
found in the brush upon the farm OF Will
diam Siebrasse, four miles east OF Hooper,
in Dodge county.
n fact that the missing .cam wase
found near Hooper strengthens the convic-
ton that the burglars We're at Hooper a
few hours after the robbery. About T:3Ol
Tuesday morning four men entered the
station at Hooper. They were strangers
TO everyone about the depot. They are,
described as having the appearance of be-
ing very tired. They We're all well dressed
in winter suits, Including heavy wooden.
shirts, but wore no overcoats. While inE
the station they all smoked cigarettes. The
quartet left Hooper for Omaha on thes
train which pulled out from the station att
S:25. Nothing was known of the Lyons
robbery at the time and the men attracted
attention only from the fact that they
We're strangers.
In the opinion Of the bank officials the
four men seen at Hooper were the ones
who robbed the. bank, and it is on this
clue that the Omaha police and Pinker-
tons employed by the state banking board
are now working.
