everything, from the rental value of

the rest being used to grow vegetables
to support the planter and his help,
to possible physicians bills and living
expenses of the planter. At current
rates the 100 bales of tobacco would be
worth in Cuba $500.

Folsom, n. M. Aug. 10.-This place
was visited today by disastrous fire
which threatened for a time to wipe
out the entire town and which finally
damaged the business portion to the
extent of over $4,000. The blaz2
started before daylight from some
mysterious cause in the rooms of Mrs.
Annie Adamson, proprietor OF the
leading restaurant Of the town. When
she awoke the room was all ablaze and
she barely had time to escape with her
life, fleeing to the street in her nigh!
clothes and giving the alarm. Owing
to the limited scale of the local fre
fighting equipment the flames gained
headway rapidly and it looked for a
while as II the town was doomed. All
the property on the south side Of the
main business block was destroyed be-
fore the fire burned itself out the di-
rection of the wind saving the rest Of
the town.
The loss TO Mrs Adamson's board

jamestown, N. Y, Aug. 1O.-The
district of New York, today reported
indictments against the Standard Oil
company of New York, the Pennsyl-
vania railroad and the Vacuum oil
company, which has refneries at
Olean and Rochester, N. "
One Indictment is found against
each of the defendants, and in all
there were twenty-five counts. The
indictment against the Pennsylvania
railroad charges that it granted re-
bates on oil shipments to the Stand
ard Oil company and the indictment
against the Standard charges that it
accepted rebates from the Pennsyl-
vania.
The evidence showed that the Vac
euum Oil company made shipments
over the Pennsylvania and that the
Standard paid-the freight bills. The
indictment against the Vacuum Oil
company charges specifically that 1t
shipped oil from Olean to Rutland.
Vermont, at tariff rate lower than
ments charges that the Pennsylvania
road or on file with the Interstate
commerce commission.
One of the counts in the indict-
ments charge that the Pennsylvania
railroad did not file with the inter-
state commerce commission a tariff
showing its rates and charges for the
transportation of oil.
The indictments were drawn under
the direction of Special United States
Attorney o. e. Pagin. Each of the
counts constitutes a separate offense
and the penalties If the defendants
were convicted on all counts would
amount to 81, 100000.
The indictments specify that ship
ments were made under a common
arrangement between the Pennsylvan-
ia, New York Central and the Rutland
Railroad companies.

tom Craig was well known cow
puncher who was frequently at Mag

position to drink and start a fight he
was a good fellow. The ranch where
the shooting took place must have
been the ranch of Josesta Chaves y
