MA, DEMAND SEPARATE TRIALS.
Hearing Of Indicted Packers Set for
Sent. 18.


Chicago, Sept. 6.-Twenty-one sep
arate trials may be demanded before
federal judges by the Chicago packers
Indicted on charges Of conspiracy In
restraint of trade, within the next two
weeks. After the matter of pleading
had been continued until Sept. IS by
Judge Humphrey, many of the attor-
neys interested in the ease held a con
sultation and at least one agreement
was reached whereby separate trial
will be demanded from the govern
ment. This move was anticipated by
the government and every effort will
be made by the federal attorneys to
Offset the requests of the defendants.
Assistant Attorney General Oliver
Pagin, in speaking Of the contem-
plated demands for separate trials, de-
clared that 1t Is not probable that
separate hearings will be granted by
the federal courts under the one in
dictment charging conspiracy. "All
these defendants are included In the
one indictment charging conspiracy
In restraint OF trade" said Attorney
Pagin. Conspiracy, of course, will
be the essence of the case, and mas.
much as ii takes all of these defend.
ants together to form the alleged con.
spiracy, there Is no reason why they
should not be tried together"

Sudden Death Of An Old Timer.

HELENA, Feb. 25.-W. Z. Frederick,
q we'll known pioneer telegrapher and
insurance man, died this evening as
the result of q peculiar accident.
While enrOute to his home accompa.
MED by his son they encountered on
Warren street a runaway horse and
overturned buggy.
The animal was practically at a
standstill but Mr.. Frederick purposed
holding him until an owner should ap-
pear. No sooner had he seized the
animal by the bit than it gave q sud-
den jerk or two which, however, did
not cause Mr.. Frederick to release his
hold.
The horse was tied to a nearby pole
and Mr.. Frederick resumed his jour-
ney homeward, but feeling faint de-
cided to sit down on the High school
house steps for a moment, when he
again complained Of feeling faint, and
also that his shoulder hurt.
He had lain on the bed for probably
half an hour when he was seized with
a vomiting spell whereupon a doctor
was summoned. Death, however, en-.
sued within a few minutes aftes his ar.
rival. An examination of the body
disclosed no abrasions or bruises,
and the physicians gave it as their
opinion that death was due to an in.
ternal rupture. probably due to the
sudden jerking by the fractions ami.
