DECISION AGAINST COMPANY.
Judge Garland Denies Standard Oil
Syndicate a Temporary Injunction

Syndicate a Temporary Injunction.
Sioux Falls. S. D., May 4.-Judge Car
land, of the United States court in this
CITY, mas rendered a decision in the case
OF the Standard Oil compan VS.. Emil
Branch, state oil inspector. The suit was
instituted for the purpose OF securing an
injunction restraining the state oil in
spector from putting into effect the pro-
VISIONS of a law enacted by the last leg
lsiature establishing a gravity ard resi-
que test or kerosene oil sold in the state.
JUDGE Garland denies the application Of
the standard Oil company for a tempo-
rary injunction, and has vacated the re-
straining order issued at the time the
suit was Instituted, which prevented the
company or the oil inspector taking any
1ufther steps pending the determination OF
the suit.
Judge Cariand's decision, which is very
concise, and which. owing to its impor-
lance. is given in full herewith, is as fol-
lows:
IN motion for a temporary Injunction
IN the above entitled action, restraining
the defendant from executing the pro
visions OF the laws of the state OF South
Dakota In regard TO the insnection of oil.
mas been argued, submitted and dulv con-
sidered.
AS this court has had occasion to say
IN other cases, the object of a temporary
injunction IS to mold matters IN statu quo
until the court can pass upon the merits
OF the case. In this case the complainan.
ASKS the court to suspend the laws OF the
state OF South Dakota in regard to the in
spection of Illuminating oils and leave the
state without any such law during the
tendency of this suit.
In considering this matter the corrt
must take into consideration the wide and
extensive use hat is made by the citizens
OF Inc state of South Dakota of kerosene
as an Illuminating oil and the great neces-
sity OF some law requiring an inspection
OF the same before it is sold.
The court has good reason to believe
mat the conditions which exist in regard
TO compliments property, so far as the
OIL which has been recently shipped into
this state is concerned, were created for
the purpose of this case. and certainly
with the full knowledge of the law of the
state.
1T also appears that the complainant
mas complied with the law since july
1903, and the damage that would result
70 1t IN comparison with the damage that
might result to the citizens of the state
by reason of the issuance of a Temporary
injunction is SO small as to compel the
court TO refuse a temporary injunction in !
this case.

famed vacated and set aside
