Supreme Court Decision Against
Packers Injunction Made
Permanent

Washington, Jan. 31.The supreme
sourt of the United States has decided
The case of the United States Vs. Swift
& Co., known as the beef trust case,
charging conspiracy among the pack
srs to fix prices on fresh meats, etc.
The opinion was handed down by
Justice Holmes and affirmed the de-
cision Of the court below, which was
against the packers.
In his opinion Justice Holmes dis.
cussed at length the various conten-
Hons of the packers and disposed Of
them individually. He admitted that
some Of the charges were less specific
than desirable, but said this was neces-
sarily true on account OF the vast ex-
tent of the field covered. He added
that sufficient had been shown to prove
continuous offenses and offenses OF
such a nature to justify the proceed
.2gs. The opinion continues the In
junction granted against the packers
under the Sherman antitrust law by
the lower courts. The opinion was
concurred in by all the members Of the
court.
The opinion continues the injunc-
ton granted against the packers under

University President Resigns.

President Garrett Droppers has ten.
dered his resignation as president OF
the state university to take effect at
the close of the present school year.
is the general belief that the board
of regents demanded his resignation,
though President Droppers will neither
affirm nor deny the rumor. Under his
administration the university has pros.
pered and there never was time
when the faculty members were more
united. He came here six years ago
from the University of Japan.

Cain Brothers Not Murdered.

It is now settled fact that the Cain
brothers, Henry and Richard, were not
murdered at their camp west of Rapid
City. The evidence shown at the cor
oner's inquest proves that the two men
were intoxicated and fell from the
wagon to the frozen ground. One OF
the brothers had broken neck and
there we're bones broken in the body
of the other The fact that 500 in gold
was found in the pockets of one of the
brothers shows that robbery was not
performed. There is not the slightest
evidence that the men were murdered.

Kuropatkin Ordered to Attack
japanese in Hope Of Winning
Victory
His Humiliating Defeat with
Serious Loss Adds to Dis
content Of the People

st. Petersburg, Jan. 31.-General
Kuropatkin's attempt to break through
the Japanese left wing and outfank
Field Marshal Oyama's position on the
fShakhe river, seems to have failed en-.
tirely. Few details, however. are
available beyond the information con
tained in the official dispatches. Field
Marshal Oyama, as at the battle OF
the Shakhe river, appears to have an.
swered the Russian advance with q
counter offensive movement, but no
great disposition was shown to carry
the war far into the territory held by
the Russians.
At the war Office there Is an inclina-
ton to lay the chief blame for the fall,
ure of the movement to sudden
change of the weather to intense cold,
20 degrees below zero with a high
wind, which drifted the snow and rem
dered it hazardous to expose the
troops to camping in the open plain
and also impeded the transportation Of
guns, supplies and the wounded.
Too Hard a Nut to Crack.
The operation entrusted to the Sec
ond army under General Grippe penberg
was the capture of Sandepas, which
once in Russian hands would serve as
pivot for thanking movement
against Field Marshal Oyama, but
Sandepas proved too hard a nut to
crack and the japanese, taking ad-
vantage Of the repulse Of the Russians,
hurried up their reinforcements and
assumed the offensive On the Hun
river as well as along the railway and
the Great Mandarin road.
The Russians, however, appeaF e {.
have been completely successful on
the defensive, repulsing all the Japa
nese attacks. Under the 5circum-
stances General Grippenberg decided
not to undertake to storm Sandepasi
which is situated in a fiat country,
therefore more difficult to take than q
position in hilly country.
Owing to fiat trajectory and the
enormous penetration Of modern pro.
jectiles the capture Of the outer lines
Of trenches on Thursday entailed
heavy casualties. There is no official
estimate of the losses, but it is expect
ed that some thousands on both sides
were killed or wounded.

Opposition Of Mr.. Hays to Refund OF

Washington. Feb. The opposition

probably result in killing that meas
