done in Louisville.
"The business method of the Amer
lean and Continental Companies will be
inquired into closely. Mr.. Ewing, who
is now in Washington, was presented to
Secretary Moody and Commissioner
Yerkes this morning. The action taken
by the Secretary was, OF conrse, the re-
suit of advice from the President and it
shows that Mr. Roosevelt proposes to
worry combinations Of capital if moth
ing else.
"The proceeding is direct result of
the tobacco growers meeting held at

''Mr. Gamers report will be made to
Secretary Moody and prosecution in the

The District Court.

The inserest 10 court this week has
centered in the trial Of Harry Gilmore,
one of the prisoners charged with the
attempt to rob the Agra bank. A
large number of witnesses both for
state and defense were introduced,
and the case has gone to the jury to-
day. 1t is not yet decided whether
the other three will be tried at this
term Of court but probably all of them
cannot be. A special jury Of eighteen
was empanelled last week for the trial
Of Gilmore, ,..-
John w. Baker who was the first of
the accused robbers to come to trial
was found guilty and sentence will be
pronounced just before the closing Of
court. Gilmore was one Of the two
arrested at Riverton, while Baker was
one Of the three caught at Blooming.
ton. The evidence in the main Is
practically the same In both cases,
yet it does not seem to be as strong
against Gilmore as 1t was against Ba
ker.
The verdict of the jury in the Gil
case Is guilty.

reports say that some suspect an in
cendiary origin. TIE library, most OF
the books and about half Of the furnl'
ture was saved but all efforts to save
the building proved fruitleSs and It
was completely destroyed in about an
hour.
This will prove quite a serious loss
to the enterprlSing town Of Logan
which was having very successful
school under the instruction Of Prof.
Arthur, and his assistants.
Whether the bui ding was insured
and the amount, II policy was carried,
has not been learned.
