MORRISON vs.. ?. ?. LEI.
James Morrison Again Sues p. p.
Lee for Burns he Received Three
Years Ago Motion to Take Case
I From Jury not Granted.

One OF the most interesting
cases on the calendar at the
present session Of District lourt,
lie that Of James Morrison vs.. Il.
P. Lee in which plaintiff sues de-
fendant for SIS, 900 damages for
burns he received in a fire in his
paint shop in December 1902.
Morrison, who had a small paint
shop back OF the presentlccation
Of Gilroy 4 Hetherton's meat
market, was starting a fire in a
small stove. He had purchased
some Kerosene from P. p. Lee. in
which it is alleged there was a
small amount of gasoline. There
were some live Goals at the bot
tom OF 1.-THE stove, and this caused
the Kerosene or the mixture to.
ignite. Soon that inside the can
was on fire and the flaming oil
was thrown over Morrison's
body. He was alone in the build
ing and two or three times tried
to get OUT of the door, whichwas
fastened with a spring lock and
which had become fastened in
this manner. Finding that he
could not get ontsids, he threw
himself down on the floor and
when Mary Elton and several OF
her milliners forced the door
open with all ak, Morrison was
rolling on the floor in terrible
agony. He managed to get out
side and rolling in the snow, put
the fire out. Ills right hand was
terribly burned and for time it
was feared that his life could not
be saved,
The case came to trial once in
District Court and Morrison was
given a verdict OF $4,000. Not
being satisfied, the case was APP
|pealed. and a new trial ordered.
LeSueur & Bradford have ably
appeared for the plaintiff while
James johnson has defended in
as able a manner. Tuesday, tha
defense made a motion to take
the case away from the jury and
submit it to the Judge en- the
ground that the>plaintiffhad not.
made q proper case. The Judge
took until Wednesday morning
to decide, and decided to not
grant the motion.

STATE or OHIO SUES
STANDARD OIL CO,
CABLE ANNOUNCED THAT THE
COMPANY WAS FOUND GUILTY
CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.

The following is statement of the |
beginning of the trial in which the |
Standard Oil was found guilty, as an
nounced by the cable the other day:
FINDLAY (O0, October 9-The suit |
of the State of Ohio against the Stand |
ard Oil Company, in which the COM
pany is charged with conspiracy |
against trade, began here today and |
progressed at a rapid pace.
A jury was secured in less than two
hours; County Prosecutor w L. David
presented his case; Virgil p. Kline, at
torney for the defense, made answer;
Attorney G.. H. Phelps of the prosecu-
ton then read documentary evidence
until thee curt adjourned at 4;4O
o'clock. He promises to continue the
reading during the greater part of to-
morrow.
In brief Davis stated to the jury
that the Standard Oil Company became
a trust in 1882, and although It had
sevral times since changed the form
of it's organization, it had not ceased
to commit the offenses of a trust.
Replying 70, the company, Kline
characterized as matters of ancient
history
formation of the trust. The Standard
Oil Company. he said, was corpora
ton controlled entirely by It's stock
holders; it was in no way trust; 1t
could not DE said that any of the state
ments of David relative to the early
history of the company We're true but,
If they were, they We're not within the
limits of Hancock county, and conse-
quently without the jurisdiction f the
court.
The company, he said, sold some oil
at retail in the county and might
own some real estate here, but the
statement that itw as in any combina-
ton in restraint of trade was entirely
unsupported by the facts.
The documentary evidence which the
prosecution began submitting and
which, it is stated. constitutes the bulk
OF their case, is contained in a docu-
ment authenticated by the Supreme
Court of the State as the status of the
Standard Oil litigation before that
body. 1t was all objected to by that
company as Irrelevant but allowed to
go in by Judge Banker, presiding. The
documents read to the jury to-day,
which occupied the whole Of the after
noon session was the statement of the
case for both sides, including the orig
inal trust agreement of 1882. the plead
ings of the case before the Supreme
Court I'm 1892, which resulted in the
order to dissolve the trust; the plead
ings before the same Court in 1897,
resulting in a journal entry by the
Court that the trust had been dis
solved.
