president Roosevelt is known to sup.
port the commission in its position

OIL MEN is BEGUN

IMPRISONMENT OR
! fine THE PENALTY
Rockefeller, Who Was Originally
Party to Suit, Granted Separate
Trial-case Against Him Will Be
Pushed If State Wins In Trial.

, Findlay, O., Oct. 10.-The Standard
oil company, of Ohio, was put on trial
here Tuesday charged with conspiracy
against trade in violation of the state
antitrust laws. The penalty pre-.
scribed is fine of from $50 to $4,000,
or from 6 to IL months imprison-
ment. IL
John D. Rockefeller was originally
q party to the suit. but was granted
separate trial, the date of which will
depend on the success of the state in
the present proceedings. It is said
Mr.. Rockefeller will not be witness,
and will not attend the trial. The
Buckeye Pipe Line company and Ma
tional Manhattan Oil company, both
state corporations, are also defend
ants, but have also secured seperate
trials.
!. The trial will be before Judge G. G..
Banker and jury. The Standard will
be represented by general counsel of
the company F. M. Elliot, of New
York; Virgil P. Kline, of Cleveland,
and James o. Troup, of Bowling Green.
o. The prosecution will be conduct
ed by Prosecutor David, of Hancock
county, assisted by George F. Phelps,

talesmen were examined. A recess
was then taken until 1880 o'clock.
Judge Banker cautioned the jury to
talk to no one regarding the case and
TO report to the court any attempt to
talk to them.
fta Suit Sets Precedent.
!, II the manner of instituting the
snit-by information instead of by
grand jury fundamentally the juris-
diction assumed by the probate court
are upheld in the higher state courts,
the case will assume added impor-
lance, as indicating an easier and
more direct method for action against
alleged trade conspiracies.
+, Both the manner of bringing the
suit and the jurisdiction of the pro-
bate court have been questioned by
the attorneys for the defense, but
Judge Baker has decided against them
on all points, and no appeal can be
taken on these preliminary questions
until after the case has been tried.
Judge Assumes Jurisdiction.
Judge Baker ruled that violation
of the Valentine law constitutes mis-.
demeanor and that the last session
of the legislature gave probate courts
concurrent jurisdiction with common
pleas courts over all misdemeanors.
To this ruling as we'll as that on
other technical points, the defense
took. exception.
The Valentine law, under which the
action is brought, was passed July /,
1898. 1t defines trust deliberately
as combination of capital, skill or
acts by two or more persons, firms,
etc, to create or carry out restric.
tions in trade. The violations of the
act are defined as Conspiracy against
trade" and punishable by fine OF
from $50 to $4,000 or Imprisonment
J, for from six to IL months.

FIRST GOLD FOUND IN ALASKA.
Twas Discovered by a Russian Ira
der on the Anauk River in 1882.

Twas Discovered by Russian Ira
der on the Anauk River in 1882.
Gold was first discovered in Alaska
on the Anauk river, tributary OF
the Kuskowin river, which joins the
latter stream about twenty-five miles
below the trading post Of Kalamak-
offsky says the Ketchikan Mining
Journal The Anauk river was dis
covered by Ivan Simenson Lukeen in
1882, at which time he built fort,
called Lukeen's Fort, on the Kusko-
win river. twenty-five miles above the
mouth Of the Anauk. 1t was partly
destroyed by the natives in 1S41, and,
rebuilt by Kalamakofr, Russian
trader, and was afterwards called
Kalamakoff redoubt.
Russian Trading company
were at Sitka and supplies were trans
ported thence to Lukeen's Fort by way
Of Nushagak river, Tic-chic river and
lake down the Anauk river to the
Kuskowin river and thence up stream
twenty five miles to the fort. In 1887
the yearly supplies were sent by way
of the mouth Of the Kuskowin river
and the old way abandoned as a
summer route and used only for the
purpose Of sending out the mails dur
ing the winter by dog teams. 1t was
the only winter route the Russians
ever used from any point on the Yu-
% MP
only abandoned for the purpose al
ter they left the country.
It was while on one Of these trips In
1882 that the Russians discovered gold
on the Anauk, and 1t is known today
as the yellow river of the Russians.
It Is not known whether they ever
attempted mining on any large scale
or whether they found gold In paying
quantities but 1t Is thought to be the
first time on record Of gold being
found in this country.
Lukeen was born Of Russian and
Spanish American Creole parents In
the Ross colony in California He was
we'll educated at the Sitka school and
proved to be an energetic and intelii-
gent officer. In 1853 Lukeen ascended
the Yukon river from st. Michael to
Fort Gibbon, then a Hudson's Bay
company trading post, which was
built by McMurray, who descended the
Porcupine river in 1847. Lukeen was
the first man who connected the.
Pelly river Of Campbell and the sea-
He returned to st. Michael that fail.
In 1856 the Russian garrison at Kali
amkaoff redoubt, in charge OF De-
mentor, was withdrawn, the United
States having purchased Alaska from
the Russians.

dark shade where the beech-tree
spread his canopy of leaves over the
cool bank, and marked his shadow
profile on the green sward-that
grassy sward, on which "the constant
moon" lit up the dewy lamps, hung by
the spider on blade and leaf; and in
that silent time, when the distant wa
terfall came far sounding on the ear
when sleepless insects chirped in the
thicket, and dogs, at some remote
homestead, howled bugle-like to the
moon; and in that chill hour when
Mildred drew her kerchief close
around her dew-besprinkled shoulders.
whilst Arthur, fondly and affection
ately, half enveloped her in the folds
Of a military cloak, as he whispered
words Of tender parting in her ear
and imprinted kiss upon her cheek;
and when, moreover, Henrys teeth
chartered like frozen warder's. then
1t was, and there, that this enthusias-
tic girl again pledged her unalterable
devotion to the man of her waking
thoughts and nightly dreams, come
veal come woe, whatever might be-
tide; and the soldier paid back the
pledge with new ardor and endear-
ment, in the strong language that
came unstudied from the heart, mean
ing all that he said, and rife with a
feeling beyond the reach of words
And, after many a locked and fond

blessing each upon the other, and
then, not without looking back, and
breathing a fresh prayer Of blessings,
they separated on their dreary way,
Mildred, retiring as she had come, on
the arm of her brother, and Butler,
springing hurriedly into the skiff and
directing its swift passage to the mid
die of the stream, where, after pause
to enable him to discern the last foot
steps Of his mistress as her form glid-
ed into the obscure distance, he sighed
a low God bless her." then resumed
his oar and sturdily drove his boat
