.OIL TRUSTS CASE
 GIVEN ID JURY Hot Words Passed During Arguments fLaWyeIs Prosecution Accused
 of "Dity Tick'
REPORT FR0MATT 'YCENERAL
The Court Room Was Demonstra' tive and the Judge Rebuked
 All Concerned.

Findlay, O., Oct 17.-After trial of seven days, the fate of the Stan dard Oil company of Ohio charged with conspiracy against trade, was placed in the hands of the jury at 8:30 last night.
 Yesterdays proceedings were the most strenuous of the trial The heavy speeches on both sides were made. Virgil P. Kline concluded for the defense. and Attorney General Ellis for the prosecution. The de- fense submitted fourteen points of law for incorporation in the charge of the court to the jury, all but two of which were rejected.
 The tension between counsel on either side, which has been on the in- crease as the case progressed, reach- ed the breaking point yesterday and hot words of criticism passed, the crowded court room became demon- strative for the first time and the court sternly rebuked all concerned. All lAc tGrhIlCu HUH thS receipt of a telegram by the attorney general stating that the Manhattan Oil company had yesterday sold ou to the Standard Oil for $2,000, 900. This was declared by the defense to be a dirty little trick" to influence the jury. It's absurdity, MT Kline said, was apparent from the fact that the Manhattan was only capitalized for $150,O00, 900. Attorney General Ellis interrupted with some warmth:
 If the court please" he began, q have sat silent under the most re- markable tirade of abuse I have ever heard in my life. Mir Kline attempts apparently to make it appear that the attorneys for the state have at- tempted in some way by telegram to influence this jury. We have not presented any telegram to this jury or said anything about any tele- gram" He said the matter would have never reached the jury had not Mir Kline mentioned the matter in open court. The Incident closed with a severe admonition from the court. The jury was not to regard the mat ter and the spectators must main- tain silence or be ordered from the room.

L. w Norris: '-The quality is all

there would be plenty of water for

G. P. Rogers: Il have seen Kan

900 inches flowing in the stream

water is excellent As for quality
there will be plenty for Grand juno

supplied with water from this stream,
will never know from a shortage of
water. that the creek is supplying
water for Grand Junction"
E. NJ. Slocomb: mo town in the

There were between 1900 and o.
600 inches of water running in Kan

being augmented by a few hundred
inches being turned in this month
from the reservoir. The water is soft
