BY Associated Press.

BY Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Aug. San indictment
charging the Standard Oil company
non-payment of storage charges to GER
tain railroad companies was returned
by the federal grand jury before Judge
II. s. Bethea this afternoon.
The Indictment came as surprise,
inasmuch as the grand jury had Just
begun the investigation today. The
Standard Oil company is the only de-
fendant no officials CT the company
and no railroad companies or officials
being named.
The bond of the defendant was fixed
by Judge Bethea at $25OOO
This is the case investigated by the
grand jury in Cleveland. where it was
found that the grand Jury had no
jurisdiction. The testimony taken there
was transferred to Chicago and the
documents in evidence were identified
by witnesses who testified in Cleveland.
1t was on this testimony and evil
dence that today's Indictment was re-
turned so quickly.
Review Former Session
The grand jury Immediately con-
vened it's session to take up the charge
that the Standard Oil company was
given direct rebates by some railroads.
The indictment contains nineteen
counts, each count constituting a sep
arate charge. The true bills come un-

fine of from $1,000 to $4,000 for each
violation. Under this Indictment,
should the government procure a con-
viction in the trial of the issues, a
fine of $380,000 as a maximum under the
Elkins law may be assessed.
The Indictment alleges that by sys-
tenn of granting the Standard Oil COM
pany certain concessions the oil COM
pany benefited to the extent of $S507
during period of time from August,
1903, to February, 1905. The indict-
ment as explained by the government
attorneys means that in nineteen in
stances certain consignments of oil
for the STANDARD Oil company were
stored by the Lake Shore & Michigan
Southern Railroad company and that
the railroad company received no pay
ment of cents per ton per day from
the oil company for such storage, but
tndt ltS cOlHpeIilorS were cOHlpelleu 10
pay this amount. This is equivalent
to granting a concession. it is charged,
the nonpavment of the storage
charges being practically a rebate in
favor of the oil company.
Each count sets up a discrimination
of from $500 to $500 month in favor
of the oil company. 1t will be neces-
sary for officials of the Standard Oil
company to appear in court and pre-
sent bonds of $4,000 for the corpo-
ration.

Santa Monica canyon has furnished
a murder mystery.
A young woman, probably an eastern
tourist, met her death there, and for a
month the body has been at the mercy
of sun and dews and ocean winds.
The body of the young woman was
discovered by T. Horton, .rancher of
Calabasas, who was driving in a buggy
to Santa Monica.
He turned off the beach road into the
canyon to water his horse, and in g1anc-

the underbrush.
A hole in the right temple and a
corresponding hole in the left side of
the head close to the temple suggest
the passage of a bullet through the
brain.
AS well as the body could be judged
in, its badly decomposed condition, the
woman was about 25 years old and the
crime was committed at least a month
ago.
No Sign of Struggle
No external evidences, such as rent
clothing or the bruises of a struggle,
were present to indicate that the wo-
man had been criminally dealt by be-

TRIO ATTACKS
COUNT BUELOW
Gained Local Notoriety Recently by
Claiming He Was Victim of
Conspiracy-Treated at
Hospital

Max Won Buelow. who is said to be a
brother of the former prime minister
of Germany, was assaulted ON the
street last evening by three men and
his neck was severely cut by one of
the three who attacked him.
Won Buelow stays at the Hotel
Venice and is now said to be employed
in one of the department stores in Los
Angeles.
He is said to have papers in his pos
session that clearly show him to be
the brother of the German count and
is also said to be worth more than
$1,00O,0O0, which he can obtain, how
ever, only by going to Germany.
He was not seriously injured, al
though he lost considerable blood.
After being treated in the emergency
hospital he was strong enough to go
to his home unassisted.
Won Buelow was assaulted by a
bootblack recently and is we'll known
in police circles.
Count Won Buelow first came into
notice when The Herald printed an in
terview with him while he was acting
as gardener at Arthur Let's beautiful
home and grounds at Hollywood.
Won Buelow declared at that time
that his family could be traced back
for 800 years.
He had just come from Colorado,
where he claimed an unfortunate mat
rimonial ENHANCEMENT had cost him a
fortune. His wife, 1t appears, was
many years his senior.
The titled German labors under the
impression that conspiracy is being
Matched against him and that the two
recent attacks in Los Angeles are but
forerunners of more to come.
He speaks English imperfectly. but
declares he has fighting blood in him.
