Following Recent Conviction in Ohio
Court for Illegal Combination,
Judge Banker Imposes. Simply
Maximum Fine Prescribed by Law
for One Days Continuance of the
Ofense.

Findlay, O., Special.-In probate
court here, Judge Banker overruled
the motion fled by the attorneys of
the Standard Oil Company for a new
trial and imposed a fine of $4,000
and costs of the prosecution in the
recent suit against the Standard Oil
Company held here. On motion of
the defense, the court ordered. that
the defendant company be allowed 40
days in which to prepare and file its
bill of exceptions in the case, and
On another motion by the Standard
attorneys the sentence imposed was
ordered suspended for "a period of 60
days for the purpose of filing a pc
tition on error in this case. It was
also ordered that the criminal infor-
nations pending against John D.
Rockefeller, the Buckeye Pipe Line
Company, and the Manhattan Oil
Company, be continued until the next
term of court.
The fine imposed by Judge Banker
was the limit for one %offense, though
the law stipulates hat each day that
the alleged combination business is
carried on constitutes a separate Of
Tense. Taking this view of the stat
utes, it was possible for the court to
impose. an aggregate of fines amount
ing to over $4,000, 900.

Run Over BY Train.

Davidson, Special.-Mr. Frank r.
win, of Mooresville, was run over
by train No. "a, from Charlotte
to Statesville, at the crossing below
Cornelius. He was driving in a buggy
with Mr.. Will Mathew, and tried to
cross the track ahead of the train.
Mayhem jumped and escaped, but the
horse was killed, and Irwin was
thrown many feet away. His right
hip was broken and badly crushed,
and he received two gashes in his
head. He seemed to be under the in
auence of whiskey, for he recklessly
tried to cross In front of the train
while his sober companion jumped.
The engineer stopped the train as soon
as possible, and he was placed in the
baggage car and brought here to the
hospital. 1t is not yet known if his
injuries will prove fatal, as he has
only been partially examined. He
was totally unconscious when brought
here, but DIR. J. P. Munroe said his
pulse was good and he was probably
not fatally injured.

Shot Dead.

Atkins, a prominent liveryman and
business man, was shot and instantly
killed by Chief of Police Nelson, at

and Anderson. Atkins, it appears,
had been beating his wife in a hori-
BILE. manner and the woman, breaking
away from him, rushed out into the
street and cried for assistance. Her
voice was heard by the officer, who
came hurridIy toward the house.
When Atkins saw Nelson approaching
he drew his pistol and would have
doubtless used it if the officer had not
drawn FIRST, firing one time. The
bullet sped sure and Atkins fell in
his tracks. There was considerable
excitement at first but everything was
about quiet when latest reports were
received.

NORTH CAROLINA GRANITE
Output of This Valuable Stone Be
coming q Great Industry-Figures
Show the Large Increase.

Although North Carolina is largely
interested In cotton manufacturing
and other enterprises, there are many
more industries throughout different
sections of the State that tend to
swell the aggregate amount of bust
ness done from year to year.
The granite output of North aero
lima In 1905 amounted in value to
$564,578. This, in comparison with
the value for 1904, 1927, 749, showed
the large increase of $266,S29. This
increase was principally in the stone
sold rough and dressed for building
purposes and in stone made into paw
ing blocks. The producing local.
ties are Asheville and Montford, Bun
combe county; Balfour, Henderson
county; Rocklif, Polk county; Gran
tie Quarry, Faith, Salisbury and Bar
Der, Rowan county; Old Fort, Nc
Dowell county; Advance, Davie coun-
ty; Gastonia, CASTOR county; Grey
stone, Vance county; MI. Airy, Surry
county, and Wise Warren county.
In sandstone production the total
amount reported for the State during
the last year amounted to $4,4S3 and
came almost altogether from Sanford,
Moore county.
The stone classed as granite includ-
es gneiss, mica, chist, lava, tufa and
este, and allied igneous rocks. While
North Carolina is rich in these stones
not a sufficient amount was quarried
during the last year to make a tabu-
lation.
The value of sandstone produced in
the United States last year was $1O,-
OO6,774, as against $10,274,991 the
year previous.
In crushed stone North aCrolina
produced $16,50O worth in 1905, and
besides this a small amount Of lime
is burned.

home, 2126 Main street. The negro

ton is that the motive was robbery
rather than criminal assault.
