Dodge and family arrived in Bar.

camp over on Cow Creek, and
found ice on the creek about two
inches thick, which they had to
break with a pole to let the stock

The next morning, when they
woke up they heard an unearthIy
yelling and commotion, and upon
going around the bend of the
creek about half a mile they dis
covered a band of Indians, about
a hundred all told, in camp. Each
Indian when he got up, stretched
hi mselfand let out a yell. They
were friendly, however, and caus-
ed no trouble.

TRUST Busting
CAMPAIGN IS ON,
Great Battle Between Government
and Standard OIL.
TO DISSOLVE THE STANDARD,

St. Louis, Mo-, Nov. 15.-The
federal government today began
the long contemplated battle
against the Standard Oil Com.
pany, by filing a bill in the
federal court here by direction Of
Attorney General Moody.
The action proposes to have the
Standard dissolved. In support
Of the governments plea. there is
an array of proven violations Of
the antitrust laws. including con.
spiracys coercion, intimidation,
rebating and other vicious acts.
1t is President Rooseselt's in
tention TO make this proceeding
the crowning achievement in the
administrations trust busting
accomplishments.
The bill reviews the history of
the Standard from 1870 I'D to the
present time.
1t charges that the STANDARD
sells nearly all the railroads in the
United States their lubricatin Q
oils, for which it receives so to
100 per cent more than the prices
for which other manufacturers
are willing to sell the same: and
thst these excessive prices are
willingly paid. in order that the
railroads may get the trust bust
ness, and that this is substantially
the payment of rebates.
The bill also points out where
the trust has driven independent
jobbers and oil reGners out of
business. 1t is alleged that at the
present time the trusts property
is valued at two billion dollars.
The bill states that the Standard
trust produces, transports and
sells about ninety per cent of all
the refined oil exported from the
states, and that since 1870 this
share of the business has been
under the direction of John D.
Rockefeller, William Rockefeller,
Henry H. Rogers, Henry M.
Flagler, John D. Archibald,
Oliver H. Payne and Charles w.
Pratt.
