court in Sioux Falls, on the 3Oth ult.
rendered decision in the case of the
Standard Oil company VS.. Emil Brauch,
state oil inspector, which is of far-reach-
ing importance to the people of South

purpose of securing an injunction re-
straining the state oil inspector from

enacted by the last legislature establish
ing gravity and residue test Of kerosene

Judge Garland denies the application
of the Standard Oil company for tenn
porary injunction and has vacated the
restraining order issued at the time the
suit was instituted, which prevented the
company or oil inspector, taking further
steps pending the determination of the
suit.

Crouch, who is at the head of the new
organization for constructing railroad

the cash is ready to push the line
